message: How can NH-8 be "100% complete" when there are still huge chunks of elevated expressway missing in the section between Delhi and Gurgaon? Jpatokal 17:14, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 4 laning of NH-8 as per original plan is complete. 8 laning of Delhi-Gurgoan section is a separate project. Vjdchauhan 07:29, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I beleive the expressway and national highway are on different alignments, not too sure -- PlaneMad|YakYak 12:28, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  No, it's exactly the same route. Jpatokal 06:33, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes its exactly the same route but that section (Delhi-Gurgoan) was already 4 laned (2x2) (GQ Project envisaged only 4 laning of metro connecting roads) and the current ongoing work is making it 8 laned (4x4). Vjdchauhan 13:20, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: NH-8 100% complete!!!

message: At present the article states that the gq is through nh 2,4,5,8. Although major stretches are on these highways, there are lots od diversions through other highways as well. You can take a look at the map for more info. I say we have a chained list of the gq sections starting at delhi and going clockwise and the particular nh in brackets -- PlaneMad|YakYak 13:34, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: GQ alignments

message: I noticed that this article is not using any of the four India-specific highway infoboxes. I've made a demo of how this infobox could look if it were switched to . The links at the bottom can be updated to include other links as needed. Imzadi 1979 →  10:37, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Better infobox 

message: I've removed the following statement from the article after fact checking it:
:, while the Golden Quadrilateral makes up under 2 percent of India's road network, it carries about 40% of the country's traffic and accounts for one-third of its traffic deaths.Ullrich, Christy. "India's Golden Quadrilateral", National Geographic, Sep 15, 2008. Though the GQ makes up less than 2 percent of India's road network, it carries about 40 percent of the country's traffic and accounts for one-third of its traffic fatalities.
The statement is backed up by the source cited.  However, all of the figures above look implausibly high for this one road, and checking the statistics at http://www.nhai.org/roadnetwork.htm, it appears that the source has incorrectly used the statistics for national highways as a whole (about 70,000km, about 2% of the total road network according to that source), and applied them to the GQ - a small proportion of the total network.

thread_title:  Fastest Team to Circumnavigate the Golden Quadrilateral 

message: Golden Quadrilateral is a National Highway in India and no where in India is a written rule that such speed records can be done on a carriageway. There are people who have done it earlier and people are still doing it, seeing this article on the wiki according to us will create scope for more such records which might be a cause for loss of limb / loss.Will leave upon the jurisdiction of the contributors of this page to decide whether this article snippet needs to be in or out. We are logging out of this article forever.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truthprevails.avr (talk • contribs) 04:24, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Since you two seem incapable of holding a civl discussion, much less agreeing on anything, I've removed your names from the article and left only the link to the record.  Hope you're both happy now? Jpatokal (talk) 22:45, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
