The cited source at [1] is incorrect. While this source claims that Highway 54 terminates at the 440 beltline, this is not right. I am currently standing at Hillsborough Street, observing signage indicating that this is still Highway 54. I will obtain photographic documentation of this. In the meantime, please accept this map from Google as evidence that 54 continues on under the beltline. Nimur 19:06, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
I feel it is prudent to state that NC 54 continues well past I-440 due to the photographic evidence of signage and the NC 54 designation found in popular maps. Until confirmation regarding the termination status of NC 54 is obtained from the the NC DOT, it is appropriate to err on the side of the facts on the ground. -- Srvora
The picture you show is the exit sign from the Beltline. It is not indicative of anything, since this exit DOES still put you on 54 even if it DOES end at the beltline. There is still a mystery. Jayron32 00:38, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, I guess someone should look at some official sources. This is the official NC DOT map of the Raleigh-Durham area: [3]. As you can see, 54 is not shown inside the beltline. Yet, it's not very good at showing where routes really go, so you can't draw too many conclusions from that. Anyone got an update on those photos? I went down Hillsborough Street the other day in the NC state area and found no shields featuring NC 54 anywhere. I didn't go all the way downtown though. -- TinMan 20:03, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Why add it back on the list of major cities on 54? It's not a major city. All the other cities on the list have a population of at least 10,000 and are familiar to people all along the NC 54 corrider. Swepsonville has a population of 922 and doesn't share anywhere close the the same reknown. Jonathan97X 20:55, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
North Carolina Highway 54. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).

I'll note in my comments below any additional suggestions, which aren't strictly required to meet the GA criteria, but those that are meant to make sure that the resulting GA is actually a good article.
|map_notes=
in the infobox.Source review: this is an area not really covered by the GA criteria, which only care if they sources used are reliable.
{{reflist|30em}}
so that they can appear in multiple columns.|scale=Scale not given
is an option. If the map doesn't have the scale information printed on it, but a library record gives the scale, enclose the information in brackets, and use "c." for any approximations. You can convert map scales given as "1 inch = 10 miles" to the ratio by doing the math to figure out how many inches are in 10 miles, or "1:633,600" (10 mi x 5280 ft/mi x 12 in/ft = 633,600).
|scale=[1:696,960]]
(if only known from the library record) or |scale=1:696,960
(if the scale were printed on the map someplace in a numerical format of some kind).|via=University of North Carolina University Libraries
(even wikilinking the university name on the first usage).
|location=
.|link=no
added so that the wikilink to Google is suppressed the second time {{
google maps}} is used to craft a citation. Per the idea behind
WP:OVERLINK, you only need to link the first usage, not every usage, in footnotes.|publisher=City of Morrisville, NC
rather than use the website address as a website name. The access date shouldn't be in that ISO-style format if the other footnotes aren't using it.|location=
and |publisher=
respectively, even if you want to note that their website is named WRAL.com. When in doubt, the city where the station is located, and not its city of license, would be the |location=
. The reporter should be listed as the author as well.|location=New York
.That all said, your sources are reliable and meet the requirements of GA- or FA-level citation needs. I'd suggest giving them a polish though, as mentioned above.
Prose review: breaking this down by section—
{{convert|55|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}}
to give: "55-mile-long (89 km)".
{{convert|6|mi|km|adj=on|spell=in}}
) two errors: missing hyphen in a compound adjective and missing conversion
As I said in bottom of the checklist, I'll give you 7 days, Ncchild, to work on this. I have serious doubts about whether this can pass in that timeframe though. Realistically, the article needs a good copy edit, and before you could enlist someone to help (if you do), the history section needs to be fixed to clean up the errors based on the sources. The writing needs a lot of work to meet the standard expected of a good highway article. Imzadi 1979 → 10:00, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
Ok, your footnotes at the end of each RD paragraph are in the wrong order, each one appearing as <small[2][1], probably because you're using the Google citation for the length in the infobox (making it FN1) and listing it after the map citation in the RD. Honestly, you should find a better source for the length and RJL mileposts, but for now, it can suffice.
Other comments on the updated article include:
"E. Main Street" yet you spelled out "West Elm Street". Pick a technique and stick with it. "passing by a Quarry" drop the capital letter as it isn't a proper name/noun.
These items need to be fixed at a minimum before promotion. Imzadi 1979 → 05:17, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
