• 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. Dough4872 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. Dough4872 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. Dough4872 22:29, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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

• Reworded. Dough4872 22:29, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• "before coming to " - it comes to an end

• Changed. Dough4872 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. Dough4872 22:29, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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