Validator localize links, problems and how-tos. For instance, hover you mouse over the "New road" note in France (
permalink) and in Slovakia (
permalink). In France you get localized description and link:
"Création de segment incomplète ville et nom de rue non renseigné wiki"In Slovakia you get the default:
"Each segment must minimally have the Country and State information wiki"While it's OK to have the default message for "New roads", IMO some checks (like abbreviations and locks) always must provide local information, so editors know what should be locked and how to abbreviate streets.

Apparently you have lots of abbreviations with dots, so I'm not sure if you need this 'Street name with a dot' check at all

Maybe it's better to implement 'Incorrectly abbreviated street name' like in other countries?

Please have a look at
Might be incorrect city name explained (forum post). This i case #10 Add/remove word. It has a limit: 10 segments. If you would have more than 10 'West Memphis' segments, they would completely disappear from the report.
I'm not sure if we shall add directional words in all languages. I'd rather to lower the limit mentioned above...
