Talk:A151 road

Untitled

This article, particularly the 'Description' section and the footnotes, is still in the process of construction. (RJP 12:58, 27 May 2005 (UTC)) By the time it is edited down a bit, it might scrape under the 32kb limit. (RJP 13:55, 27 May 2005 (UTC))

Caution

While maps are useful in illustrating features of the road, the means of providing them are complex and likely to leave the reader in limbo. They are therefore in course of being placed in footnotes to be used by readers who wish to enquire more deeply. If you wish to use them, first read the note at the head of the footnotes section. Unless you are making a serious study, these map links are best avoided. Clicking on the footnotes superscript will take you to the note in question unless it is in brackets. In that case, it is not yet working.

The above is more suitable for this talk page, rather than the article itself. -- User:Docu

Geology

The information on geology is interesting, but would it not fit better on the village pages than the description of the road? Is it a normal part of a road page?--Brunnian (talk) 10:31, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Geological information is not a normal part of a road page but it certainly should be. It is not possible to understand the course of a road without learning of the geology which lies under it. The people whose horses sank to their hocks in mud certainly saw the point in finding a firmer bit of geology to divert onto. Where a road winds, the geology is usually a major factor governing where it winds to. (RJPe (talk) 21:19, 22 August 2009 (UTC))

Bourne bypass

The section from Stamford Hill to Bourne crossroads to Spalding Road is no longer A151.

With the construction of the Bourne Bypass the route round the south-western quadrant, a few tens of metres up the A15, and then round Cherryholt in the South-eastern quadrant is now designated A151, and West Road, West Street, and Spalding road in town are the B1193.

cite tags

@Pppery: So, according to Wikipedia:HTML_5#cite, the <cite> tag is supposed to include the title of the work and other contents of the citation itself. On this article, the <cite> tags don't do that; they only enclose the word "Note" and the ID number, which is apparently semantically invalid HTML. You're right that WP:CITEVAR says not to change the citation format needlessly. I think in this case, that means that this page should keep the list-defined references, but to be valid HTML from what I read on Help:List-defined references that should be done with <ref> tags. That page also says that reference IDs should be names, not numbers, to prevent confusion and avoid the need for manual renumbering. In this article there are IDs like fn_(8a), which I think is showing the problems with renumbering. -- Beland (talk) 21:47, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
