message: Redundantly, ALL of the attractions in New South Wales were in a list headed "New South Wales" but were of the format
====New South Wales====
Worlds largest Widget, Town, New South Wales, Australia
I have removed the redundant "New South Wales, Australia"

message: Why is India's World Largest Beach in this list? It's not a roadside attraction nor man-made. Kitty 23:27, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Michigan

message: Yeah, that city's turning into a "roadside attraction" (for airplane travelers and cruises, mind you), albeit a rather posh one. 204.52.215.107 (talk) 07:02, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I quote (prior to my edits):
# World's Largest Sundial, Singleton
# World's Largest Sundial, Carefree, Arizona, USA
# World's Largest Sundial, Little Rock, Arkansas, USA
(Note: sv:Pajala, Sweden: Pajala har även världens största solur på 38,33 m i diameter stående mitt i centrum. meaning Pajala also has the worlds largest sundial at 38.33 meter right in the centre)
That's just one of many issues. I tagged it. --Gerrit CUTEDH 20:39, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Like the World's Largest Lobster, Shediac, New Brunswick and the World's Largest Lobster, Kingston (SE), South Australia. On second thought, let them work it out between themselves. MartinSFSA (talk) 11:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the original source is part of the problem - from what I can tell it repeats items there. The hassle being "World's Largest" - the term "Big Things" doesn't care if it is the biggest, but clearly there can only be one world's largest thing. :) - Bilby (talk) 11:15, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

text: Mind you, the Shediac lobster is 11m x 5m x 5m, while the Kingston one is 17m x 14m x 15m (approx), so it is fairly clear as to who wins. - Bilby (talk) 11:20, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Sucked in Shediac, you lose again, and the hot hail from Flash Gordon falls upon your spurious and bizarre claims. "Eh, come to Shediac and see the world's second largest lobster"... All of which screams out that I'm probably not the one to change the various entries.MartinSFSA (talk) 11:02, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

text: All 3 are incorrect. The largest sundial is at Jaipur, India  which is 27 meters high. The current claimaint in the article at Singleton is only 8 meters high   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sandyiit (talk • contribs) 23:20, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article is in serious need of attention 

message: A contradiction tag was placed in this article in February of 2009 with no explanation. Of course after reading the article, no explanation is needed.  While I understand the concept that many people can claim a thing which does not necessarily make it so, there is no reference to this concept, save for what I put in today.  This article seems to be nothing more than a list of contradictory largest attractions and  does not meet Wiki's standard as an article.  Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_guideline#List_content for more information. Kjnelan (talk) 15:40, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

message: So we can cut all the garbage, we may need to include the measurements for these things; last thing we need is another argument based on questuionable claims. Most attractions provide measurements somehow. --Johannsenn Adder (commenting as 114.73.42.205 (talk) because I'm too damn lazy to sign in) 12:25, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

message: "World's Largest Booty"? I was skeptical, because of the slang meaning for "booty" (woman's bottom) and because I couldn't imagine what else the 'largest booty' might be. A web search led only to photos of women. I also tried searching for treasure trove, treasure chest, and so on, with no results for Ireland. I found the edit that added this item was made on 21 Nov 2010, by someone with only 1 other contribution in their history. I feel very strongly that this item is suspicious (vandalism / trolling), and have removed it pending confirmation that it actually exists. Country Wife (talk) 01:04, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

message: As Noted on this page several times, I will step up and completely Overhaul this page in the coming weeks as I have a MUCH better idea than what it is done.  If you have any questions or concerns, please note it on this page below.  I will be doing it in steps as it will be quite a feat.Hogie75 14:20, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: While you're about it, I'd beg for more and better sources. Most of these appear to be unverified, and the those that cite sources cite primary sources or (the captions of) Flickr photographs. Cnilep (talk) 23:52, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Its true, I am just taking what was there and putting it in a better format, I did not go through each and every article however did try to find something in the article they are linked to, if there are some that are not relevant, please feel free to delete them or move them to the proper article if necessary.  It was bothering me the way it was formatted.  I will continue the article shortly.Hogie75 00:03, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Complete Overhaul

message: As mentioned before, I believe this article should be changed to List of notable roadside attractions as it includes tallest, longest and also 2nd largest so this title better describes this article.  I will move it in a few days unless there are major objections below.Hogie75 15:56, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
