- Easy enough, done--Ncchild (talk) 02:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Add history about the former NC 231 to the second paragraph.
- I made it really general (the route didn't change much), so I hope it's okay but completed.--Ncchild (talk) 02:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- It looks good. Just one question: was the former NC 231 in a different part of the state?
- It was, so I added a distinction that it was in Southeastern North Carolina.--Ncchild (talk) 13:52, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

- Route description
- I suggest adding traffic count info, and whether it follows or connects to the National Highway System to the first sentence.
- I added it to the end of the route description. I felt it fit in better there and I also noticed that is where it is on your Kansas articles (apologies, I was looking at them before to make my articles better).--Ncchild (talk) 02:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Looks good. And no problem, I was going to suggest you use one for a template. -420Traveler (talk) 06:22, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Add links to first mention of each city/county/highway.
- Done, I've long been unsure if I "relink" articles after the lead.--Ncchild (talk) 02:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Looks good. 420Traveler (talk) 06:22, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- If there are links, add them to Emit and Samaria.
- There are not, but another reviewer for my North Carolina Highway 133 article wanted me to link them anyway so I went ahead and did that.--Ncchild (talk) 02:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Looks good.
- Article says North of Samaria, NC 231 crosses Turkey Creek. Near Burgess Road... Clarify what happens between Turkey Creek and Burgess Road.
- Did a quick little fix by adding on to the sentence.--Ncchild (talk) 02:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Looks great. -420Traveler (talk) 06:33, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Article says an orientation it largely maintains for the duration of its route would "an orientation it largely maintains for the remainder of the route" sound better?
- I do think that flows better so I replaced the wording.--Ncchild (talk) 02:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Looks good how you did it. -420Traveler (talk) 06:33, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Article says NC 231 makes a turn slightly to the northeast, an orientation it follows until reaching US 64. would it sound better to change "orientation" to a different word, to avoid confusion since it was used earlier.
- I changed it to direction, I think that is an appropriate differentiation but let me know if it should be something else.--Ncchild (talk) 02:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Perfect word choice. -420Traveler (talk) 06:33, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Clarify if highway crosses over or has at-grade crossing with Coastal Carolina Railway.
- The article does state "crossing over a railroad operated by...". It does cross over the railroad on a bridge but I'm unsure on how to word that without it seeming to be overstated.--Ncchild (talk) 02:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- I mean the crossing in the second paragraph. -420Traveler (talk) 06:33, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Apologies, I don't know why I didn't see that one. It's at an at-grade crossing so I added that.--Ncchild (talk) 13:52, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- No problem, looks good. -420Traveler (talk) 16:56, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

- Add where the northern terminus located.
- It was there but the wording was probably a little confusing so I changed it around.--Ncchild (talk) 02:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Looks good, but also add if its e/w/s/n etc. from what city. -420Traveler (talk) 06:33, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- I added "west of Spring Hope." Is that what you were looking for or the directions on the highways?--Ncchild (talk) 13:52, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah that looks good. -420Traveler (talk) 16:56, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

- History
- Add comma after 1935 and 1945.
- Done!--Ncchild (talk) 02:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Looks good
- Miscellaneous
- Add a location to all NCDOT references.
- A lot of the former maps I have trouble with because if they don't tell me, they can (and often-times were) made outside of Raleigh, particularly Winston-Salem. For everything new I put Raleigh as the location.--Ncchild (talk) 02:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Ok sound good, but was Raleigh not NCDOT's predecessors' headquarters? -420Traveler (talk) 06:33, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah I believe so. I went through and added Raleigh to the maps.--Ncchild (talk) 13:52, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Everything looks good, passing the article now. -420Traveler (talk) 16:59, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
