I've read this article and will review it shortly. It is well written. MathewTownsend (talk) 10:39, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Basically the article is fine but some of the prose could be clarified.

"DE 11 was created by 1936 on a road taken over by the state by 1931." - can this be clearer?

Reworded. Dough 48 72 22:29, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"DE 11 begins at the Maryland border in western Kent County, where MD 302 continues to the west towards Templeville, Maryland" - so here the road split? MD 302 goes west, and DE 11 heads northeast?

The road that carries DE 11 crosses the border into Maryland and the route becomes MD 302. Clarified. Dough 48 72 22:29, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"In the center of Hartly, the route crosses DE 44. After DE 44, the road heads north before curving northeast and leaving Hartly." - something like "In the center of Hartly, the route crosses DE 44, then heads north before it curves northeast and leaves Hartly."?

Reworded. Dough 48 72 22:29, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"and passing a few homes." - passes a few homes

Reworded. Dough 48 72 22:29, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"before coming to " - it comes to an end

Changed. Dough 48 72 22:29, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In the "History" section: "by 1920", "by 1931", "by 1936" - its a little clumsy - perhaps there's no other way to phrase this.

That's the best way to phrase it as the changes happened by those dates. Dough 48 72 22:29, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These are suggestions to improve the prose. I made an edit.[1]
