[edit] Interstate Standards

Will this freeway ever have interstate-standard interchanges with I-70/76 and I-80? Will it ever be extended down to I-68 and I-90 to rochester, NY? Raccoon FoxTalkStalk 16:42, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] NPOV??

What was wrong with my re-edit? I redited to remove the only part that was POV (stating which 'suitable' 3di's were available), and replaced it with statements based on facts about the Interstate Highway numbering system. I don't see what the issue was with the way I wrote it. Please advise. - EmiOfBrie 19:26, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

It was even more POV than what it replaced. The fact that suitable 3-digit numbers were available is easily verifiable, but the unreferenced and unattributed statement about future plans is not. Dhaluza 01:54, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
I was refferring to the future routings (south to MD and north to NY) that were previously stated in the article. A routing of that length would make a 3di unsuitable. - EmiOfBrie 07:18, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Then find a suitable reference that says that and cite it. Dhaluza 09:51, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Note that the "unsuitability" of a 3DI for that length needs a cite too. --NE2 10:56, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
I've recast the whole thing, summarizing the arguments in a single sentence, and outlining the different proposals with extensive citations. This avoids the issue of OR and NPOV in the article, by only reporting what other people are saying, without making any judgments. If the reader wants to dig deeper to judge suitability or whatever, they can follow the links. Hopefully this covers the issue and puts this to bed. Dhaluza 01:26, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Cool. Thanks!  :) -- EmiOfBrie 17:19, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
None of those are reliable sources. We can't just report on what random roadgeeks say it should be called. --NE2 17:49, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Agreed. Find some that FHWA, PennDOT, or some government or news source provide, but never roadgeek sites like AARoads or Pahighways. V60 干什么? · VDemolitions · VRoads (路) 21:18, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
