Ralbot 06:54, 21 November 2006 (UTC) Virtual classroomI've set up the Virtual classroom (VC), which is a forum for the discussion of advanced Wikipedia skills. It differs from the help forums on Wikipedia in that major topics of discussion are scheduled and once started remain continuous. The reason I'm contacting you is because one of the class assignments is a comparison of our user interfaces. A lot can be learned from individual users, who usually have developed their own ways of doing things. I noticed you are an expert programmer, so you no doubt have some tricks up your sleeve. I'm hoping that you will stop by and share and compare the interfaces you use when browsing and working on Wikipedia. I've also constructed a tools page which presents everything learned from these discussions, and it is growing -- there are some pretty powerful techniques on there now. Even Interiot, Rich Farmbrough, and CBDunkerson have stopped by the VC to show off their tools and methods. It's been a lot of fun, and you are invited. The interface topics are called: and I look forward to seeing you there and to learning your wikiways.

NYSR 5I still don't understand how NY 5 can end "at PA 5 in Ripley, NY". PA 5 doesn't go through Ripley. Powers T 00:25, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Ralbot 02:02, 29 November 2006 (UTC) NY route PNG signsNow that you've updated all the NYSR articles to project standards, all of them have SVG signs and thus there is no longer any need for the many PNG versions I created and uploaded last spring (sigh ... all that work, ultimately for nought). Do you want to round them all up and list them for deletion, or should I? Daniel Case 18:31, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
NY 55Thanks for picking this one, too (I'm not surprised). I suppose, barring any other noms, NY 52 will have to be the next one. I'll have to see what other articles I can give my unique touch to (or else we'll run out of candidates :-)). Daniel Case 04:14, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Montgomery County RoutesThank you for putting up the Montgomery County CR 57 reference marker on NY 331; it looks good. Yes, that's how 99% of Montgomery County routes are signed. Unlike NYSDOT, they're usually all on the same side of the route. There are, two exceptions: I think they're CR 3 and CR 38 (will have to check and get back to you) and they're signed as they end at the same intersection with a rebuilt section NY 67 using the standard pentagon. If you were to create those two signs (the blue pentagons), I will get the mileage for that intersection and add them to NY 67. It's less than a mile west of the Fort Johnson village line. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fwgoebel (talk • contribs) 17:33, 3 December 2006 (UTC).

Your browse subpageDo you mind if I edit it to keep track of the systems? --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 23:18, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Editing, creating, uploadingI've gotten to where I'm going to run out of "new" NYS highways to do (out of distance: I like to drive a route before doing an article). So I may then go into doing Reference Routes near me, and maybe put together that Reference Marker article I've been wanting to do. So as to not burden you with many todos, I want to be able to create my own markers. I did e-mail you that one .png I created of the old format, which I would use on the Marker article as an illustration. I know the color doesn't match the reference markers you've done, so for any "new format" ones, I'd prefer to edit what you have. I do have the Roadgeek fonts, but I don't have an .svg editor (yet). I'm downloading Inkscape now. As such, I do want to work directly off what you have, so as to match color and spacing to ensure consistency in articles. On top of that, I would naturally have to do my own uploading and licensing and all that, and with that I'd like to hear whatever reminders or suggestions, hints, etc. you can pass on. That included file naming protocols and the like. If you wish, feel free to move this discussion to my talkpage, so your automatic archiving doesn't hide this before I'm done with the tutorial. You're the main person I'm turning to here (at least for now) and I do look at histories of articles to see what I can improve on when I first create something. Fwgoebel 06:29, 7 December 2006 (UTC) NY 52 GA nomI'm flattered that you did it, and I certainly hope it passes, but I would not be surprised if it didn't due to a lack of inline references. Or maybe not. I'll see what I can do. Daniel Case 22:39, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

When I went to look at the newer version of the Suffolk County Road 83 page, I found a future link to it. If you or anybody else is planning one, I'll gladly contribute whaterer info I can to it if the creator exposes himself or herself.

Re: InfoboxesThanks for handling it. I'm on break from university for the next few weeks, so I won't be able to come online as often. Good to know things are in good hands in the meantime. -- NORTH talk 03:03, 17 December 2006 (UTC) WP:NJSCR Newsletter #1

Ralbot 06:31, 19 December 2006 (UTC) Schenectady and Warren County Route signsSchenectady County uses a green "street sign" (I guess it's name is a 'blade') designation for signs, there are no route shields used that I know of. The road's colloquial name is large, in Helvetica Bold, on the first line. The second line reads "Schenectady County # 158" (the # appears, followed by the route number). If necessary, an arrow is inserted on the second line and "Sch,dy" (comma, no apostrophe) is substituted. The type can be stretched or extended to fill the sign, there is otherwise no consistency that I've noticed. I tried to create a "Rosendale Road" (158) sign and I can't get InkScape to render the Helvetica as a bold (which it is). I can send you a file that has it un-bolded and let you see if you can get it to to work. Warren County: All of them are small blue signs with just a number, just slightly less wide than the flanged post, and a two-digit number is "stacked" (12 reads 1 and 2 on separate lines, for example). Looks like Roadgeek C, maybe D. Fwgoebel 04:00, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Categorisation issues (contd.)This one is unrelated to WP:USRD so I'm discussing this here. May be the whole topic belongs elsewhere instead of WT:USRD as I thought earlier. It looks like an "ideal" category hierarchy is not that easy. I'm stumped at the question of whether to have Category:Planned cities, Category:University towns in the United States, etc. at Category:Raleigh, North Carolina or Raleigh, North Carolina. By my logic at WT:USRD it should be at the latter since stuff like North Hills Mall aren't "planned cities". But if we stick to that logic, Category:Raleigh, North Carolina itself shouldn't be in the hierarchy under any of Category:North Carolina counties, Category:Metropolitan areas of North Carolina and most ancestors of the latter. This makes the logic look silly. Instead if we say North Hills Mall does belong to Category:Geography of North Carolina, since it is in that part of the world, to Category:Planned cities, since the city it is in is a planned one, etc. then how about the argument that the Turner Turnpike relates to Category:Interstate Highways in Missouri since the turnpike belongs to an interstate that runs through Missouri? May be we should use both the viewpoints presented above, case-by-case. Then, how to draw the line between where to use which POV? -- Paddu 21:39, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Two shields for completionHey there. I have a favour to ask. I've been working on a New Jersey Turnpike SVG image and a Capital Beltway SVG image. I finished the NJTP image, it just needs to be uploaded, and I started on the Beltway image, that will take me a while. I just traced the current images I had on file. I was hoping you could upload them as SVG images if you have a chance; I have a hard time with that: it never works. The large P needs some rounding off at the top I think... If you have some time and want to work some magic with the Capital Beltway image, knock yourself out. The file can be found here (download). On another matter, I also had a brief conversation with User:Cfred about shields like this and their copyright status. For example, we have the Ohio Turnpike shield listed under PD, while the Pennsylvania Turnpike shield is under C, and both were created by users. That is causing a few problems that I've seen. Also, in that edit, a PD image was removed citing "fair use abuse", looking down over his contribs, I see you're aware of some of that. But anywho, I'd list both the NJTP and the Beltway images under PD-self, by the way. Anyway, thanks and have a good weekend. --MPD (T / C) 03:06, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
When you get a chanceThis is no deadline thing, just a special request when you have a little time. I've started a sandbox project (very easy to find from my user page). I want to create a NY page for US 4, and it looks like US 4 itself is far from standard. So, I want to take care of that first. The start of that "project" is in that sandbox, so if you have an opportunity, give it a look. TIA. Fwgoebel 05:32, 1 January 2007 (UTC) {{Infobox Interstate}} and shieldsJust to let you know, your suggestion that you posted on WT:USRD/S for the new Interstate shield naming proposal has been processed for all CA Interstates. Right now, I am just editing all of those Interstate articles that still use the "outdated" naming convention. After that, I will tag the old CA Interstate shields with {{Duplicate}}, just like I did with this one. Also, after the CA articles are refurbished, there will be a similar change with the NY ones and such. InfoboxThe "shield_ext" parameter for {{Infobox Interstate}} is now broken because we are migrating to the new shields naming convention. I have edited articles Interstate 280 (California) and Interstate 380 (California) to match the new configuration. Now, I have just set the I-280 article as good-practice for the moment. Thing is, only the new CA I- shields have been uploaded. Will post message(s) elsewhere as well. V60 VTalk - VDemolitions 09:09, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Hutch exit listYou seem to be the "big cheese" as far as NYS roads, so I'd like your opinion of the exit list I've created for the Hutchinson River Parkway; I know it's not standard, but would like your input, nonetheless. --Crispy1995

Ralbot 07:09, 9 January 2007 (UTC) IH/ELG special case scenario formattingI see that you changed the formatting rules for directions from East to east. I do see your reasoning, but I have to disagree. I see a lot of both. I put some examples online here. Look at the Misc. and Travels 1 albums. In Virginia at least, it seems that the newer signs get a capitalized first letter, while the older signs are all smallcaps/allcaps. In Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and parts of South Carolina, that seems to be the rule, too; new signs get a capitalized first letter. North Carolina and Ohio seem to use the allcaps (of course, I only have pictures of I-76 ten miles in to OH 7, so I can't speak about the whole state). Pictures from Colorado are on my other external hard drive at school, so I can't check that out. But even at the same interchange, signs are different: at I-70 and I-81, before the interchange, approach signs on I-70 for 81 are (sm)allcaps, but signs at the exit are first-letter capitalized. At I-77 and I-81, I-77 north has (sm)allcaps, but I-81 south has the other way. I disagree with the change you made, and like I said, on newer signs, the trend seems to be to capitalize the first letter of the direction. Perhaps we should go to talk on this matter and ask for a larger input. --MPD (T / C) 21:49, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
