Weatherby Magnum as descripted in this article isn't a rifle, but a kind of cartridge used as rifle ammo, according to Wikipedia and other internet sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.84.193.2 ( talk) 03:47, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure Roadwork is supposed to take place in the Midwest, and specifically Wisconsin. The only evidence that it might take place in New England is that such a large number of King's novels are set in Maine. But in Roadwork we get numerous references to Chicago (Magliore is there when Bart first tries to contact him, for example) and the letter Bart gets from the city is addressed to M----, W----. There are no states that begin with the letter W east of the Mississippi aside from Wisconsin and West Virginia. College football is a motif, so I'm guessing the story takes place in Madison or Milwaukee, but definitely not New England. 128.192.59.150 14:42, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Did some general clarification/cleanup to the article. I'm not sure if it's enough to warrant removal of the "needs cleanup" tag, but it's annoying to me that it's there at all on a Stephen King-related article. Any other thoughts on how to improve the article? - Paulbkirk 19:58, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: MOVED. Additionally, Roadwork now redirects to Roadworks This seems mostly uncontroversial; the single oppose rationale is disproven by observation of common English usage, re: plural vs singular. Hadal ( talk) 16:01, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
Roadwork → Roadwork (novel) – Move and make Roadwork a primary redirect to Roadworks. 162 etc. ( talk) 23:41, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
