External links[edit]

Noticed the addition of the banner regarding external links.

Largely, I've not been sure which section is most appropriate, "Points of interest" or "External links". WP:MDRD/EG doesn't give much guidance on the proper and correct usage of each, so I largely copied what one article did (and I even forget which one that one was), and then used that as a template for when I set all of these up. Generally, I use external links in the "Points of interest" section for sites for places of unique value that are directly related to the state highway in question (Like the Marshall Hall Foundation site for MD 227). "External links" I left for other links that might be somewhat related, or are more specific/generic to the state highway system (like links to MDRoads.com). I figured, this is the best approach until advised otherwise, due mostly to lack of documentation on proper guidance/layout of these particular sections (which I think WP:USRD/STDS doesn't even mention).

If you've got better ideas, or example state highway articles (of any state) like these, then I'm all ears.

Well... three are already topics per se, and might be cited in a see-also. The other fire department seems less notable and making the whole set as external links doesn't seem to follow the guidelines. Perhaps making a paragraph that describes these in their relationship to the topic would develop it properly, and let you add some comments about the fire department with a suitable reference.
