[edit] Assessment notes

Great article for 17 miles. I have upgraded it to B-Class. There's just a couple things I think could use improvement:

• Usually, junction lists on non-freeways are a lot simpler than those found on freeways. Take a look at any NY route or Oklahoma State Highway 51 for an example.
  • I've been sticking to the practice of placing all US Highway and Interstate routes in the infobox with a 10-junction maximum for all Tennessee Routes, in some cases this is probably inappropriate but I feel that some standard needs to be set up regarding this as I have had other contributors asking about this very thing. (i.e. using start/end terminus only in the infobox for secondary routes and listing US/Interstate highways with 10-junction max for all primary state routes.) The B-Class rating is very much appreciated!!! Pepper6181 (talk) 05:42, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
• Shields should never be stand-alone. This is an accessibility issue; images don't display on some browsers (like Lynx), so images should always be followed by a text representation of the highway in question. This also allows the addition of links, where appropriate.
  • A fix will be completed shortly, using the jct template.
• Image galleries are generally discouraged on Wikipedia. It is usually preferred that they're placed on Wikimedia Commons and linked, as in Oklahoma State Highway 76 (and commons:Oklahoma State Highway 76, the Commons gallery).—Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 06:04, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
  • I like the idea that is put forth on the OK 76 article and have incorporated it into the TN 211 article, I'm going to use this on the TN 5 article if I can ever find the time to take some pics Pepper6181 (talk) 05:42, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
