[edit] Highway 50
A Highway 50 article was started that should be merged into this one. Perhaps more disambig or redirect pages are needed for the highway articles? Malepheasant 00:23, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
- I'd say merge it. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 03:20, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article Name
Is there any reason why this article's name violates Wikipedia:WikiProject_U.S._Highways#Naming_articles? It should be U.S. Highway 50, not U.S. Route 50 -Jeff 18:16, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
- I'm supposed to be studying... lol but I forgot to change it over. I'll do it later this week. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 03:25, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- AASHTO uses Route, not Highway. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 03:36, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
OK, I see the nc is changed now, I've heard it refered to as "Route 50" alot more than "Highway 50" anyway, so to me this is long overdue.-Jeff 16:30, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This page is a mess
Do we really need the lengths table? If not we can just work the lengths into the states traversed section.-Jeff (talk) 05:48, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Nobody's responded yet so I'll go ahead and toss it, it's really causing more harm than good. Lenths will be merged into the states traversed section.-Jeff (talk) 19:20, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
Another thing, the lists under the route description section need to be converted into paragraphs (preferably brief, additional info can be put into the state-specific articles).-Jeff (talk) 02:53, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Jeff, Good job cleaning up this page (even if some of the messes you fixed were mine =-) ). Now that you've moved the "lonliest road" stuff to a sub page (U.S. 50 in Nevada), shouldn't searching for "The Lonliest Road in America" now redirect to the Nevada sub-page? How does one do this, or request this? (I'm still a relative newbie) Thanks Davemeistermoab 17:29, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lengths table
I've removed the lengths table again, it's too large (sticking well into the next section) and we already have the lengths listed under the states traversed section.-Jeff (talk) 18:08, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sentence on capitals
"US 50 serves both Jefferson City, Missouri, and Carson City, Nevada, two of only five state capitals not served by an Interstate highway." <- This sentence makes absolutely no sense. --65.25.93.126 06:53, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- There are five state capitals not served by and Interstate, Jefferson City and Carson City are two of them. Both of those are served by US 50. Makes perfect sense to me. Anyone think it could be reworded to be more understandable though?-Jeff (talk) 04:44, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Actually, there are six: Juneau, AK; Annapolis, MD ; Jefferson City, MO; Carson City, NV; Dover, DE and Pierre, SD. I made this change in the main page, from five to six. Viget99 20:28, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Nevermind, this is viget99 again, I see that Annapolis could arguably be served by I-97. 70.130.223.84 03:15, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- It is also served by Interstate 595 (unsigned) Davemeistermoab 06:40, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] More cleanup?
This was tagged for cleanup (in the wrong place I might add), after I spent alot of time cleaning it up before, what still needs to be done?-Jeff (talk) 03:23, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- A lot of the section headers on the project standard were changed a while ago, and this article uses a lot of the obsolete sections and headers. See WP:USH for the new standard and WT:USH for the basis for the change. --TMF T - C 03:29, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] October 19, 2006 reformatting
I've rearranged the page as per the standards of WP:USH. The most notable change was reordering the states traversed from west to east, but the individual state sections need to be rewritten so they, too, read from west to east.ObtuseAngle 16:14, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lenghts missing
They need to be readded, not sure how they fit in with the new format though, but content should not be removed when editing just to reformat the article.-Jeff (talk) 06:08, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
- They could go in the 'Notes' section but really, that sort of information belongs in the state-level articles. ObtuseAngle 14:23, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cheverly, Maryland
I don't see why it's notable enough for inclusion on the list of major cities. It is one of only three places on that list that have a population that is less than 15,000; and the other two have high populations relative to the area around them, Cheverly does not. For a more exhaustive list of places along U.S. 50 one can see U.S. Route 50 in Maryland#Cities and towns or List of cities and towns along U.S. Route 50.-Jeff (talk) 18:00, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ohio
The article needs to be reversed to describe US 50 as you go from west to east, rather than from east to west as it currently does. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.86.240.103 (talk) 16:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC).
