FA concerns[edit]

Reviewing this one as part of the ongoing FA sweeps, I see a few issues here as this one relates to the FA criteria. First, the statement In the past, two other business routes for M-28 existed in Newberry and Marquette, but they have since been retired is made both in the lead and the body, but isn't cited anywhere. The citations in the route description are often hard to tell what is intended to cite what, such as the naming history of Rail Street being followed by two citations to maps, which won't supporting naming history. It should be clearer what actually supports what. The traffic stats are outdated. For the history, sourcing The business loop was not designated Bus. M-28 permanently and marked on state maps until 1958. to a single 1958 map is original research, as the map does not say this itself, and novel interpretation is required. Occasionally, more recent maps use this older numbering to label the highway - Is sourced to a single map from 2006, which cannot be a source that maps still do this. The source for This routing was moved to bypass the city in 1964 when iron ore mining activity destabilized a portion of the M-35 routing southeast of town won't load for me but seems to be a map that won't directly tell us why it was moved. Additionally, have there been any other roadway upgrades since 2005? Hog Farm Talk 16:02, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can certainly work on refining citations. Some of these are easy, like pairing the 1957 map to the 1958 map. Others may require a little time in the library to find better sources. Work, the Christmas holiday and a trip out of state will keep me from spending any time in the library until at least January 7 after I return. As for recent history, the business loop has not been changed since 2005; I can personally attest to that as it runs through my hometown. Imzadi 1979  21:17, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That'll be fine; there's no rush here. Hog Farm Talk 21:17, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
