Ralbot 03:54, 18 September 2007 (UTC) USRD Inactivity check and news reportHello, TwinsMetsFan. We had a few urgent matters to communicate to you:
Regards, Rschen7754 (T C) 23:41, 22 September 2007 (UTC) Orange County RoutesHey Twinkees, I'm interested in starting up pages for these routes. Wondering if you can help make shields or hook me up with a template to make the Orange County shields, in svg format. Image:OrangeCR72EasternBegin.jpg will show you what the shields look like in Orange County if you're unfamiliar. No rush, just started compiling some info on a few today. Also made an adjustment to NY 306 (History). Hope that's worded better for wiki. Thanks, and have a good weekend! --Airtuna08 00:32, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
Then shouldn't it be MetsTwinsFan, haha? Called ya Twinkees cause its always been a nickname I've heard and used referring to them. But I will call you TMF, I was only messing with you as I'm a diehard MLB fan myself. The '08 in my username refers to the 1908 Chicago Cubs. Sad, isn't it? But on to my serious part here, I'm doing this more as a hobby. I'm not a computer programmer, but because of the subject matter (roads/maps) I've wanted to learn some and help. I didn't even know there was a whole wikiproject committee when I started writing about the Rockland Routes. Had I known I wouldn't have wasted my time. Cause I get slapped with whatever I do, and treated like a vandal when all I'm doing is adding credible info I've gathered. I think were all trying to do the same thing here, but obviously everyone wants their own touch on these pages. I joined the project because I had done all that work and thought I could be of help. That's why I asked if I could help you with maps or even making shields. I've made them before but I was shot down cause they didn't meet standards of which I wasn't aware. That's why I asked you for help this time. That's all. You don't want pages for OC, I won't make them. Saves me alot of time. There's no way I can get every county route a page. I thought that's what you guys wanted. So, again, I figured I could help. But as far as the whole politics, I'm not ready to dive into it. Frankly, I'm befuzzled as to why there are so many pissy people on this site. Not saying you, but someone trying to have some fun doing something is shot down more often than not. When in reality, wikipedia needs all the people they can get to help. I understand there has to be some semblance of order around here, but it is ridiculous. If you don't want to do the OC shield I understand. But I don't get why we all go nuts with each other when were all roadbuffs and are just trying to do the same thing. How many of these road pages actually get read anyway? --Airtuna08 04:44, 23 September 2007 (UTC) Regarding PROD nominations as debatesPROD nominations are indeed debates, albeit limited ones waged on the talk-page with an outcome of leaving the PROD-nomination in place or removing it. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 14:30, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
NY 111 & Suffolk CR 17Suffolk County Department of Public Works told me in a letter years ago that the switch between NY 111 & Suffolk County Road 17 was made on September 13, 1966, and they have a PDF file of their routes that proves it too. I wish I knew the link. ---- DanTD 18:50, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

R Delivery Bot 02:45, 27 September 2007 (UTC) Exit ListI originally thought exit list prohibits color without reasons,then why Interstate 520 have light blue color on its major rivers, and why does Indiana Tollway have light blue and yellow on its toll stations? Freewayguy Let me know what's up? 21:15, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Seems like I've been told to also remove purple colour from Interstate 485 even if the road is not yet been built. You can fix it by seeing the Interstate 540 (North Carolina) seeing how they do it. Freewayguy Let me know what's up? 21:40, 27 September 2007 (UTC) I-576 speculationsThe infos was added back by User:Highwaydude2007 I couldn't determine whether this is speculation or factual, that's because on the citation he didn't cite the page (that site has 12, and it is part of Adobe). I originally delete the I-576 from List of Auxiliary Interstate Highways and List of proposed auxiliary Interstate Highways because I was told none of these sources were reliable.

WP:NJSCR Newsletter 6Issue 6 of the WP:NJSCR newsletter is out.Mitch32contribs 01:54, 1 October 2007 (UTC) Cleanup of Template:Infobox road/docI would think that having it organized and making it easier to read would be "cleanup". Please tell me why reverting whitespace on a template is necessary, though. It's ignored anyways by rendering, and it does make it easier on the eyes for those editing. I don't see why you couldn't have just posted on my talk page. Besides, other infobox documentation has been started/edited this way, and I don't see them reverted (like Template:Infobox animanga for example). If by any chance there was a parameter actually affected by including whitespace, then that specific parameter could've just had its whitespace removed. I don't see why, for example, having |length_mi = 20 |cities = [[Benicia, California|Benicia]] over |length_mi=20 |cities=[[Benicia, California|Benicia]] would be such a change to revert over. --Geopgeop 06:21, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, I did sort of give a a copy and paste section in June 2006 (see Template_talk:Infobox_road#Copy_and_paste), and well, you did add the doc subpage in later in April 2007. I'll ask. --Geopgeop 22:07, 1 October 2007 (UTC) template issueYou are the second person I have seen using {{unreferenced|section|date=October 2007}} instead of {{unreferencedsect|date=October 2007}} The "section" parmeter is useless and the first wording is just the {{unreferenced}} and puts the article in the category for articles with no sources at all. Do you know where you copied this incorrect formula from?--BirgitteSB 13:58, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
i-79Hey, I see that you my edits didn't follow the 'format' on the i-79 page and you reverted them. It's fine that you want everything in a consistant format, but you shouldn't have used the revert button. There were mistakes on this page as to destinations that I fixed, and now they've all be changed back and are incorrect again. I'm not being a smartass, I'd just appreciate that you wouldn't have used the revert tool to change the format. Now I've gotta review the whole document to remake my edits to the destinations.

405Why'd you remove the "Popular Culture" section of 405? I found that to be interesting: ==In popular media==
I didn't realize this broke categories; sorry about that. However, I disagree about the scope differences; are you saying that in some states the local roads are only part of USRD, and that when adding the state parameter I have to check the scope of that state project? --NE2 06:53, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't know for sure, since I haven't read the book, but you can probably get some more information from "Moose Crossing: Portland to Portland on the Theodore Roosevelt International Highway" (ISBN 0761835105). Given how many universities have it, you should be able to get a copy through interlibrary loan. --NE2 19:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC) Planned template improvementsYou might want to fix the Mapdetails param too...having one odd capitalized parameter isn't a good idea. Also, I think it should work regardless of if the map param is yes or no; sometimes an article has a map but it's not up to par with the standards. —Scott5114↗ 08:16, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Rochester, New York, Area Shopping Malls, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Ralbot (talk) 10:51, 20 November 2007 (UTC) You recently classified this article as "Start" class. I really don't understand. It has an infobox with a map (which I believe you originally provided, so thanks), and well-developed paragraphs on the route description, its confusing official designations, and some possible alternate routes. It includes comprehensive lists of all communities along the route, major intersections, and exits. Some history is given. It is well-referenced. In fact, I think (if I do say so myself) that this is a model article. This is a short highway in a rural area. What more could be included? I can understand "B", simply because the highway is not of sufficient intrinsic interest to warrant more. But "Start" implies that more work needs to be done. Please tell me what. Thanks. --ubiquity (talk) 01:06, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
All right, your points are well-taken. However, it's all relative -- I assure you, that after living most of my life in Dallas, Houston and Austin, Oswego and Fulton seem incredibly rural. ;-) --ubiquity (talk) 02:27, 23 November 2007 (UTC) WikiRoads - type=decomdIf they didn't want people using decomd, they wouldn't leave it in the description, or they would say "there's no reason at all to use the decomd type, as its little more than a leftover from the old routebox format" and tell people not to use it. Why do we bother using noaccess and concur, then? No point in showing unaccessible points from a route to an expressway, is there? Why don't we just go through and pull all of those out, then too? *Jerry Seinfeld voice* And what's the deal with concurrencies being a different color? *end voice* Why are we bothering to put old route junctions in anyway? They're not a state route anymore, whats the point? Oh yeah, because the wikiproject says to.... Funny, it also seems to mention something about using a tag called "decomd" for "for intersections with decommissioned routes or segments" Oh and I love the "i think i know what i'm doing" part. Awesome. I'll come to you the next time I have a question about whether the cspan tag will allow me to watch the US Senate. (Oh, and you're welcome... the US 20 page really seems to have taken off.

Route SignsHey - how do I go about making sign images? I do have the roadgeek fonts. I also have Macromedia Fireworks MX, can I import svg files that already have the numbers on them and edit the numbers that way or will I have to try and just use a blank background and figure out the exact placement and size of the numbers? Thanks in advance. ClarkCT (talk) 08:35, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Assessment categoriesI modified template:USRD to take care of the U.S. and Interstate categories directly for anything with state= or type= US/I/Interstate. I think I got everything working fine, but you may want to verify. --NE2 14:07, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
I like the updates and corrections that you made to the article recently. However, there are a couple more things that I think should be added or corrected. I thought it would be best to leave you a message rather than change them myself. Here's what I have...
Again, nice work, I look forward to hearing back from you. Apr1fool (talk) 21:27, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Major intersections template, Tennessee subprojectHello TMF, I've got a template question for you. WP:TNSR was started not long ago and I've been trying to iron out several things on the subproject page. One area, is with the major intersections template...right now I've posted on the project page to use {{jcttop}}, {{jctint}}, {{jctbottom}} for this purpose which is in use on TN 211 and seems to work fine. My question is does the TN subproject need a specialized template for this such as what Kentucky uses {{KYinttop}}, {{KYintbottom}}? Thanks Pepper6181 (talk) 01:40, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
