The heading for this entry is "Crossroads (clockwise from highway)". If one is on the Cobb Highway, facing along the roadway, the direction of the 12 oclock position depends on the direction of travel (or intended travel) For this entry to convey any useful information about the intersecting roads the reader must assume that a road in the 3 oclock position is shown before one in the 9 oclock position, but this has no value if the direction of travel is not stated.

message: Hi,
The Great North Road is listed on the Australian Australian National Heritage List.
I have noticed that there are 3 separate articles related to this road:
* Great North Road (New South Wales) Relates to the Australian Heritage Listing
* Great North Road (Mount Manning to Wollombi Section) Relates to State Heritage Listing
* Old Great North Road (Devine's Hill to Mount Manning Section) [Relates to State Heritage Listing 
It is unfortunate that one of the pages has "Old" in the title, as a result of the state heritage listing.
I have cross-references each page to the other two and added the Commons link for the photos, which are all shown in a gallery on the Great North Road (New South Wales) page.
Perhaps the three articles need to be merged.

message: Congratulations on the changes you made to Kennedy Highway. I have 2 questions:- 1. Does the fact that you changed some but not all hyphens in the RJL reflect your choice or some problem with AWB? 2. Would it be possible to set up a script to change all occurrences of “ space-space” in an RJL to en-dashes? Downsize43 (talk) 00:01, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: There's not a problem with AWB, but it has limitations. It has settings to let it run rules against all text, or run more safely by ignoring delicate things like image names, templates, link targets, and headings; you can't have it both ways on a single run. Change a hyphen to an en dash in an image name, and you will get howls of protest because the image no longer appears. Change a link target, and it becomes a red link. In this case I was running rules against all text, but with the rules carefully constructed to avoid the most dangerous mistakes. For example, they can change a spaced hyphen to a spaced en dash in the title of a "cite book" template, and they can do that in text that follows a wikilink, since image names would not be expected to contain double square brackets. A separate run could be made in the safer mode of AWB to catch the ones I missed in this run. Another way is to enable the gadget wikEd in your preferences and use that to step through the article one hyphen at a time; this is the most efficient way to clean up just one or two articles. I will do that for this article, because there are only about 20 changes left to make. Chris the speller yack 05:30, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
