Why is the route description section in reverse?
[edit]Because Route 66 is famous for one thing, westward migration? Why is the section on Route description listed in reverse? 146.200.202.126 (talk) 14:54, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
- Short answer: milepost 0 was at the western terminus in Santa Monica and with a few exceptions all US Road articles are written according to direction the mileposts progress. Dave (talk) 16:58, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
- Does the song have to be sung in reverse, too? "It leads from LA to Chicago, because Wikipedia says so"? In Easy Rider, they travelled eastward, but that is probably the only example of anybody going in that direction on Route 66, which is a tourist destination, and not a US Road anymore. 2003:C6:3742:EE20:BD80:5BE5:2D8A:6BEC (talk) 18:15, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

That's an awful lot of AKAs in the first sentence
[edit]Rather than embed every known or obscure or downright invented affectionate nickname and alternate designation in a parenthetical in the first sentence, it'd be nice if a standard emerged for moving AKA to their own infobox section or paragraph. The first sentence of every article of this kind is always rendered unreadable by a horde of AKA contributions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by P.T.isfirst (talk • contribs) 22:01, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
