Templates are not my strong point, but I see the issue. This is what it should be linking to. I can't exactly fix templates that well.Mitch32(The man most unlikely to drive 25 before 24.) 02:28, 21 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Where does it say its abandoned?--Dom497 (talk) 11:13, 22 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Aerial images clearly show that the overpass is no longer used. – TMF (talk) 13:54, 22 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Arguable, but I'll let it go.--Dom497 (talk) 18:48, 22 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

I've removed it since it seems to go against the premise of MOS:CURRENCY, which allows articles on US-related topics to use nothing more than the dollar sign if the only currency used in the article is the US dollar. Nowhere does it mention that the dollar sign must or even should be linked. – TMF (talk) 02:59, 21 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • "It did not receive a posted designation until the 1930s, when it was designated NY 335. At the time, the route connected to NY 32 at Feura Bush Road." - Kinda optional, but, is there anyway you could maybe find the maps somewhere on the internet to better support this statement. If you can't, its fine.--Dom497 (talk) 01:45, 21 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Nope, User:TwinsMetsFan and I have spent money on getting these maps. Mitch32(The man most unlikely to drive 25 before 24.) 02:28, 21 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Quality references are often found offline, or in online databases with no way to provide a direct URL. – TMF (talk) 02:59, 21 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

I not a huge fan of having ref's that there is really no way of confirming that they actually say matches what it supports in the article but I can't do anything about; hence, why the third point is optional. (there are other refs that I would say the same too, but that's just getting picky).--Dom497 (talk) 01:45, 21 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Responded. Just of courtesy note, I am not a fan of talk page messages. ;) Mitch32(The man most unlikely to drive 25 before 24.) 02:28, 21 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Oh ok, so I won't leave a message on your talk page if I review another one of your articles. :P --Dom497 (talk) 11:13, 22 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
