• "23.045-mile-long (37.087 km)" feels a little too accurate for a lead sentence.
  •  Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 13:39, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• Is there any way the map could put it into context of Kansas or even the US? I've seen articles where there are radio buttons to select the relevant scale.
  • I could zoom it out a little, not sure how to do the radio buttons but I have seen that too. What would you suggest? -420Traveler (talk) 13:39, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
    • Bradford Island has an example of those buttons. Can we not replicate the coding? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 13:50, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
      • Im not sure how to change the coding to do that. -420Traveler (talk) 15:17, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• "K-52's western terminus.." Its.
  •  Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 13:39, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• "Three miles later" convert.
  •  Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 13:39, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• "was quickly extended" do you mean soon after or the work was done in sharpish time?
  •  Fixed didnt mean to add "quickly". -420Traveler (talk) 13:39, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• "of 1937. In 1987" bit repetitive.
  • I agree with you totally, just not sure how to chnage it. Do you have a suggestion? -420Traveler (talk) 13:39, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• Ref 2 is dead, suggest an archive is made/found.
  • I fixed the link, let me know if its still not working. -420Traveler (talk) 15:24, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• ".3 miles" etc, leading zeros here and hereafter.
  •  Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 13:58, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• "passes a cemetery and passes" repetitive.
  •  Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 15:09, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• Link freeway.
  •  Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 15:09, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• "The National Highway System is a system of highways important " this feels like a footnote rather than directly relevant to the K-52.
  •  Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 13:58, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• "Before state highways were numbered.." could relink state highways (only linked in the lead, not the main part of the article).
  •  Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 14:53, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• "were auto trails, which were an informal" either lose the comma or lose "which were".
  •  Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 14:53, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• "Kansas City-Fort Scott-Miami-Tulsa" en-dashes?
  •  Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 14:53, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• "stair-stepped" what does that mean?
  • I changed to "zig-zagged". Will that work? -420Traveler (talk) 15:15, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• "in a February 11, 1964 resolution" comma after year.
  • I may be wrong, but I think the comma should be after "resolution" in this case. I dont think it would be correct to have a comma after both.? -420Traveler (talk) 14:48, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• " January 26, 1995 resolution" ditto.
• "a 0.381 miles (0.613 km) was" eh? and expect it should be adj=on too.
  •  Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 13:58, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• "c. 1: 211,200" why the space.
  •  Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 13:58, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• Year ranges should use en-dash (see ref 20)
  •  Fixed -420Traveler (talk) 14:48, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
• Is that last external link a reliable source?

That's it, on hold. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 11:07, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Okay, map and comma notwithstanding, it's generally in good nick and neither of those issues should prevent it being promoted to GA. So I'm promoting it to GA. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 22:14, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
