Talk:Interstate 80 in Iowa

message: Anything since the 1980s? Any new developments, or is the interstate still in poor shape? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:41, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Parts of the highway have been patched up or repaired since then, but nowhere near the scale of the repairs, or of the news coverage, as in the 1980s. –Fredddie™ 17:24, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

text: *Perhaps that could be clarified a bit. I was doing the Signpost blurb and noted the article seems to stop around the 1980s — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:36, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comprehensiveness 

message: So what do you have against including a section on I-80's auxiliary routes in Iowa? Other pages for the major Interstates in specific states include their auxiliary routes, and I see no reason not to include one for I-80 in Iowa. --JoBrLa (talk) 02:14, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, Fredddie, the person who did all of the heavy lifting to get this article to FA status, was the one that stripped out the section, saying a navbox would be a better option. I just added  to the bottom of the article. That said, I've taken two primary Interstate articles through FA (I-96 and I-75 in MI), and each as a prose section rather than a bulleted list that summarizes the auxiliary Interstates and business routes. I would support adding some sort of brief section, but edit warring to force something reverted out is the wrong way to go about this. Imzadi 1979 →  02:24, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Exactly. Furthermore, adding anything that is poorly formatted to a featured article is a very bad thing to do. --Rschen7754 02:48, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed it because it was not cited in addition to everything else. –Fredddie™ 04:22, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: So what you're telling me is that this is a format issue? What is the appropriate format for such a list, and how can I include info on I-80's auxiliary routes in Iowa in a way that follows the format guidelines? I'm not here to ruin the article; I'm here to make it better. --JoBrLa (talk) 11:58, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesn't really need anything.  If it did, someone has already mentioned it at GAN, ACR, and at FAC. –Fredddie™ 13:01, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Auxiliary Routes

message: So far, there doesn't seem to be any evidence that US 6 is now overlapping I-80/I-29 in Council Bluffs. I have yet to see any articles that explicitly state that US 6 was realigned there. In fact, as of November 2016, US 6 is still signed as following Broadway/Kanesville Blvd. Even Google Maps seems to indicate that this is the case. Just because IowaDOT has turned Broadway/Kanesville over to Council Bluffs doesn't mean that the US highway itself won't still follow that same route. For that matter, the decommissioning of Iowa 192 seems questionable as well, as there are still signs for that road at junctions with such highways US 6 and I-29/I-80.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Every other state-specific Interstate 80 article has a commons tag added to the external links section (unless there are others I've missed). I'm surprised that I'd have to ask permission to edit this one in order to add the tag, so I really hope nobody minds if I do that. ---------User:DanTD (talk)  12:23, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Weird. I never noticed. It's added now. –Fredddie™ 00:12, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
