I will review this article later tonight. TCN7JM 21:26, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

1. Gotta abbreviate the U.S. Routes in the lead before you use the abbreviations alone in the RD.

2. I don't think we need three decimal places for a whole number.
   • The numbers come that way from the PMIS file, and I figure it's better to use the specificity consistently if it's available, rather than using three decimals for the route length but only one for a sub-length. I'll change it if you really want, but I'd prefer keep them consistent at three decimals. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 14:48, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
3. I'm getting a bit confused reading the extra bit about bituminous pavement, but that may be because it's a bit past my bedtime. Can you explain this to me a bit anyway?
   • The gist is that K-1's pavement is either not designed and/or not constructed to handle the expected traffic; for example, it may not be designed to handle grain truck traffic, or it may only be designed to handle AADT values below the 600 that the highway gets. I'm planning to use it as a DYK fact in a set of articles at some point in March. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 15:13, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
4. To "meet at" K-22 doesn't sound correct, and I'm not really sure what this means. Is this where the route formerly terminated, or did the route just intersect K-22 en route to the Nebraska border?
   • I can't tell from the maps whether K-1 terminated at K-22/US-83 or continued on to the Nebraska border; all I can say for sure is that K-1 and K-22/US-83 met a few miles northeast of Woodruff a couple three miles south of the Nebraska border, and so that was what I stated in the article. I could make it "It would meet at K-22, which was later known as U.S. Route 83, close to the border with Nebraska, either terminating there or continuing on to the Nebraska border" if you would prefer.

     Looking at the maps, I think it just ended there. Richie Kennedy's site seems to agree (by the way, you could probably add that as an external link, and move the KML template to the EL section). TCN7JM 06:18, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

      Done: Changed to terminate, added link, and KML moved. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 00:17, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

That's it. This is going on hold. TCN7JM 08:41, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Passing the article. TCN7JM 00:30, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
