Re: State Route 2005

I think you should wait on the map. I do believe this article has potential, but there are a number of issues that need to be worked on. Off the top, the shields need working. I suggest requesting fixes at WP:USRD/S/R. Second, the history needs more detail, but that's the only reason I think it should stay, because you've added basic potential. You probably should read WP:USRD/STDS to get a better idea. Also Jeff Kitsko is not reliable sadly. :( - Hope it helps!Mitch32(Want help? See here!) 19:31, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Pennsylvania quadrant route shields

I know that this subject covers things on the Commons, but I may get a hold of you quicker here.

When you upload PA Quadrant Route shields onto the Commons, here's two things I must note:

  1. Please convert the text to path. I don't know what program you use to edit .svgs, but in Inkscape, make sure you click on all text objects and click "Object to path" or ctrl+shift+c. When you upload the shields to here, instead of the Roadgeek fonts showing up, Tahoma (or some variation of) shows up.
  2. The standard file name for the shields is "File:PA QR xxxx.svg" (xxxx is the number). You have been using "File:Quadrant Route xxxx.svg" which causes some exit lists to not display the route's shield (they use a lot of code and the former's convention is the one used).

Please don't take offense, I know you're trying to do well, but practicing the above will make things a lot easier for us Wikipedia roadgeeks. :) If you have any questions about this process, feel free to let me know or I'm sure someone on WP:USRD/S will be happy to help you. —Mr. Matté (Talk/Contrib) 21:21, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

The issue with the QR shield names on Commons should now be fixed. —Mr. Matté (Talk/Contrib) 00:37, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

NJ 109

Generally, the Major intersections table in most New Jersey route articles include Interstates, toll roads, U.S. highways, state routes, and 500-series county routes. Other county routes are generally nonnotable for the list. I kept CR 621/Ocean Drive as it is part of a road connecting Cape May to Atlantic City. Anyway, there was dispute over the name of CR 622, apparently, the SLD for 109 is erroneous. Dough4872 (talk) 12:37, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

I know the 147 list has county routes too. One of them is the the terminus of the route while the other is Ocean Drive. There is only one route (665) that is nonnotable. It may need to be removed for consistiency. Dough4872 (talk) 12:51, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
The theme for many years in the state project is that 600s-series County Routes are generally non-notable. Route 109 for example had 4 CRs, 633 - 621 - 653 - 622. Being 633 is the southern terminus, it needs to be there. 621 is the Ocean Drive, a rather important route, while the other two just serve Cape May. Its been a project unwritten standard for years, so we kinda don't like it.Mitch32(Want help? See here!) 14:03, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
Still no. (Yes I am being a spaz). We can't have 1 route have them and then 1 route have another. If its the termini of one road or a former state route, I'd say yes, but there really is nothing to make every jurisdiction notable. NJDOT's gotta fix these problems, not us :) - Mitch32(Want help?

At WT:USRD, we are currently discussing what roads should be included in junction lists. The decision for county routes is up to the state and for NJ I feel we only need the 500-series as they are a statewide system that cross county lines. Dough4872 (talk) 01:14, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
