thread_title:  A secret revealed 

message: The last sentence of the lead section is "Though planning began in the 1970s, as of 2012, there are no plans to construct this route." If nothing has changed, it might be worth updating "2012" to "February 2014". Likewise Great_Eastern_Highway#Future finishes with "As of June 2012, ...", which could possibly be updated.
:Per :Template:As of documentation, the date should be the date of the source, not the current date, month or year. While there's probably been no change, I can't find any information to reliably say one or the other since 2012. - Evad37 [talk] 05:12, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The sentence strikes me as self-contradictory.  If planning began in the 1970s, it would follow that there are plans, albeit perhaps not complete. A possible alternative would, I suppose, be that planning began, but all plans were somehow lost.  This is unlikely.  I will change the sentence to remedy this problem, as follows: "Though planning began in the 1970s, as of 2012, construction of this route has not begun." .  If my change is not accurate, anyone can of course further correct it.  Terry Thorgaard (talk) 19:39, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Planning for the route alignment has been going on since the 1970s, but there are no current plans to construct the route. To avoid the confusion between these two types of planning, I've reworded the sentence to "Though planning began in the 1970s, as of 2012, construction of this route has not been scheduled, and it is not considered a priority" (matching the info in the 'Future' section). - Evad37 [talk] 09:08, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

text: I found the report mentioned in the ref, which does have a definition of casualty crash, and is now in the article as a footnote. - Evad37 [talk] 05:12, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

text: Of the four uses, I changed two, but felt the other two were better off as they are. - Evad37 [talk] 05:12, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

text: I haven't found any reliable info, but updated "is" to "was". - Evad37 [talk] 05:12, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Australia and Western Australia in lead sentence 

message: Is it "Great Eastern Highway" or " THE Great Eastern Highway" ? I tentatively added the article at the beginning, but wasn't surprised to see it reverted soon. Only I was disappointed in the motivation "for consistency". Consistency with what? I tried to find some peer examples, and found The M40 motorway for just one example, and The M25 motorway for another. I searched for previous discussion but couldn't find any - can't pretend I searched really in depth, though. Further discussion welcome, edit/revert wars carefully avoided! Jan olieslagers (talk) 16:57, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: By consistency, I meant within the article itself, when roads are mentioned. Internal consistency is required (usually) for higher quality articles. But in any case, "The" is not part of the actual name (eg refs 2, 4, 6, 77, 78) and does not need to be used - for example ref 51 has "... it enables the Roe Highway traffic to flow freely over Great Eastern Highway...", and see the titles of refs 61, 62, 68. - Evad37 [talk] 17:33, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmppf, that sounds like the article does conform to local linguistical practice, queer as it sounds. I would gladly work over all the article to add the the article (yes yes, this wording is confusing, sorry, I can't do any better) but if authorative external references do the same abhorrency then I better rest my case. 't Wasn't a casus belli really, anyway... Ils sont fous, ces Australiens... Jan olieslagers (talk) 17:40, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
