[edit] Gard Street, Derby
I doubt this street exists - it looks to me it looks like the OP means Garden Street which runs up to Duffield Road at the 'Five Lamps'. S/he is probably confused by Agard Street, further round the inner ring road. I've checked on Multimap, (NB - Streetmap truncates the name - that's what that '.' tells you :-)) - I also have the advantage(?) of being Derby born and bred. If no one objects in the next few hours I will revert Gard to Garden. Bob aka Linuxlad 16:39, 18 August 2006 (UTC) (later - Now done. Of course this in only the name of the W branch of the split - the E one is still Ked. Road IIRC)
[edit] Essay?
I added the {{Essay-entry}} template to this article, as it is really just a long-winded description/narrative/essay on the road's path and not about the road itself. Okay, waypoints are useful and interesting, but compare this article to, say, A1 or A66 for a much better example of how a major UK road wiki article should look — superbfc [ talk | cont ] — 19:51, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] July 22, 2007
I can completely appreciate all the hard work that obviously went into editing this article, and putting in all the many wiki links, but I have to agree with superbfc's comments. This article truly is overly long, overly descriptive, and should be re-formatted (by someone who knows the area, ideally). Use the following page as a guideline: A66 Road. It is possible to be both informative, and conform to the quality and style of Wikipedia. :) Ariel♥Gold 20:38, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] February 2008
I suggest that the long route description is copied to a new article "A6 route description" so that the original editor's work is not wasted, and linked from this article which should be shortened as described above. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.114.0.185 (talk) 09:26, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- I would agree with that. paypwip (talk) 09:30, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- I also agree with this idea Saga City (talk) 19:35, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
