User talk:RoadView

Welcome!

Hello, RoadView, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions relating to roads. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

It appears that you have an interest in editing roads articles. For that, we have several projects (called WikiProjects) available for you: United States Roads, Canada Roads, and highways (worldwide). Feel free to join these projects, where quite a few of us have come together to collaborate.

Just as highways signs in the United States have to adhere to the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, we at Wikipedia and the United States Roads WikiProject have some standards that we request editors to follow. Please become familiar with the Wikipedia and U.S. Roads standards by checking out Wikipedia:Manual of Style and Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Standards. Editors that do not edit U.S. road articles only need to peruse the Wikipedia Manual of Style.

Additional road article-related questions can be answered at the following links: United States, Canada, or other countries. You may also ask questions at my talk page.

Feel free to ask questions at #wikipedia-en-roads on IRC as well. Here, we have several editors who are willing to ask questions. For more information, see WP:HWY/IRC.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian and a roadfan! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username and the date. Again, welcome! Rschen7754 (T C) 20:39, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited List of the last surviving players who played in a World Series, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Washington Senators (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposal for your congressional-death articles

Hi, RoadView. I'm the editor who nominated two of the congressional-death articles for deletion. However, I had an idea I thought you might be interested in commenting on. Perhaps you could create lists of former US legislators who died in each decade. I understand that the US House sections would be quite heavy, but it's an idea. I also mentioned this on the AfD nomination. dci | TALK 22:51, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Baseball Player of the Week

I undid my post. I mainly did it (initially) to make there less scrolling to get to the current season, but then figured I should put it back in and think about putting the current year up at the top and the previous years (with 2008 at the bottom) down below. --posty (talk) 12:57, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: List of United States Senators who died in the 2010s

Coming back to this some time after the AfD (my !vote would only have amounted to an WP:ILIKEIT endorsement), I see the table sorts alphabetically by first name, which I can change to surname if you think that would be preferable, here and the others. Dru of Id (talk) 22:00, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have actually been thinking about that myself. I do think if I click on the name column that it makes a little more sense to sort by surname than first name. I say go for it and thanks in advance if you're actually interested in doing it for all of that and the related pages. RoadView (talk) 08:10, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of members of the United States Congress by year of birth and death

Just curious as to why non-voting members are not included. Since the project seems to still in its infancy, it wouldn't seem much of a bother to add ResComms and Delegates, as they are technically member of the House, even if non-voting. IIRC, the last to die was Jaime Fuster about five years ago, so there are few enough of them and I don't see much of a reason to exclude them. Star Garnet (talk) 21:04, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's a fair question and my answer might not impress, but I see a big difference between being from a US state and having the power to vote and not. I think lumping them together implies that they are the same when, in fact, their power is different. The voting ability, in my view, is also the ideal cut off point where there cannot be any subjectivity for inclusion. I'm aware that there are not a large number of non voting members, but I feel the list would be a little watered down with members that have a reduced stake in legislation. In addition to your examples, Shadow congressperson would also need to be included, and I don't feel those people are in the same league as US Reps. I'm not totally exclusionary though, I have been thinking about this and although I think there is a big difference as I stated, I would actually be in favor of creating 1 new page with the same data that is exclusive to Delegates etc. That way appropriate recognition is still available. I hope this helps. RoadView (talk) 21:58, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, unlike shadow congresspersons, Dels/ResComms are legally members of the House, and have had committee voting privileges since at least the 70s, and have always had speaking rights. Their pay is the same, and the only real difference is they can't take part in floor votes, and there have been several exceptions to that limitation though the years. I'd support their addition, but that's just my two cents.
Anyways, I'm interested in helping, and I was wondering if it would work for you if I started going forward from 1900, and we can each work towards meeting somewhere in the middle, and then proceed to earlier times. Star Garnet (talk) 05:31, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm glad to see someone else taking an interest in these lists as it will take a lot of work. If you want to begin at 1900 or whenever, that's fine. I myself would like to add more and assist with the expansion, but I'm not sure how much I will be contributing in the near future, hopefully some. I'm curious, are you planning on getting the entire project done as fast as you can or just slowly adding over the months and years? Either way, great to have you on board. RoadView (talk) 14:13, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Just going along year by year as my college homework permits. Star Garnet (talk) 15:18, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do User:Star Garnet/1900, User:Star Garnet/1901, User:Star Garnet/1902 and User:Star Garnet/1900s meet your expectations? Star Garnet (talk) 04:06, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The format all appears to be matched and looks great. There are definitely a lot more names back then. The only difference I can see is shortening "At-large" to "AL". I have since finished and added the Reps for 1976-79 and will do the rest of the decade. We also seem to have gotten some help from someone who already did the 1970s senators.

Re: Oldest senators/question

Hi! About the birth/death dates of members of Congress, I generally quote those reported by the Biographical Directory of U.S. Congress. Obviously I agree that any different date given from other sources must be signaled. As for the question about representatives and senators elected but not seated, my opinion is that they should be included in a separate table. Putting them in the table with people who effectively hold office is wrong - and so is the case of William Scott Vare indeed. However, I think we would ensure a better usability of the pages adding a new table for "controversial" cases, rather than mentioning them in a note.--Jacvan (talk) 09:20, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
