The history section needs improvements. 72.240.47.27 (talk) 05:23, 25 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

User:Imzadi1979, discuss? 72.240.47.27 (talk) 09:06, 25 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

What needs improvements? You could start with a listing of what you think needs to be done. Imzadi 1979 → 10:59, 25 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

excess detail about slip ramps and the I-95 project, repeating info, and stuff in the wrong section. I have gone and tried to fix some of this, but I'm not great at copyediting. 72.240.47.27 (talk) 11:07, 25 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Can you respond User:Imzadi1979? 72.240.47.27 (talk) 11:42, 25 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please don't be so impatient. I was asleep when you posted, and then I was working on something else over on Wikisource. I will reply with something in due course when I have something further to add to this conversation.

Additionally, I'm not the only editor who has this article on a watch list. Perhaps we should let others join in the discussion at some point, which could take a few days, or *gasp* weeks, to happen. If that's not fast enough for you, perhaps editing in a collaborative environment full of volunteers is not for you. Please remember this in the future that we all donate our time here and work on a wide variety of availabilities and interests. Imzadi 1979 → 13:34, 25 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
