	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
	] 17:29, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

	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.] <sup>]</sup> 18:08, 8 July 2006 (UTC)


	==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. --] 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?] <sup>]</sup> 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. ] 20:28, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

	Nevermind, this is viget99 again, I see that Annapolis could arguably be served by I-97. ] 03:15, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

	: It is also served by Interstate 595 (unsigned) ] 06:40, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

	== 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?] <sup>]</sup> 03:23, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

	==October 19, 2006 reformatting==
	I've rearranged the page as per the standards of ]. 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.] 16:14, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

	== Lenghts missing ==

	I don't see why it's notable enough for inclusion on the list of major cities.

	::Well, I was basing it on having a route in each state and the importance of the route plus using something a little different than the norm. I didn't see anything in Ohio and the one in Ind. was a U.S. in a smaller/less important city. Personally, I don't like seeing I-75 over and over, for example, when U.S. 23 is a fairly major highway that reaches from Michigan to Fla. It also allows us to link to other sites. But no big deal. ] 17:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
