SC Infobox questionHey TMF, I have an infobox question for you. I added an infobox road to the highway article SC 11. In the infobox there is starting and ending terminus. For this highway, it starts at a SC highway. I used the example from Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/South Carolina. In this example it started with a US highway. The code is this "subst:Infobox U.S. Route/quick|76|Columbia|South Carolina" How do I change this to reflect a SC route instead of a US route? Thanks Rocketmaniac (talk) 15:10, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Dream out loud (talk) 04:02, 30 December 2007 (UTC) Interstate 77 Control citiesCan you watch I-77 for a bit?

Ralbot (talk) 09:36, 11 January 2008 (UTC) Hi! A quick question.I recently edited West Virginia Route 5, adding a note about a part which was abandoned in the 1970's. I noticed that you removed a self reference to the Unused Highways in West Virginia page which described and provided a picture of the old roadway. I think that the reference is important, as it deals with the history of the route. It also might be beneficial to the user because the old route is still open to visitation by pedestrian traffic. Being somewhat new at Wikipedia, however, I don't know the best way to reference this from within the current page for WV 5. First, is there a reason why this might be considered inappropriate for this page, and if not, is there a way I could direct readers to this information, so that they may learn a little of the history of the road? Thanks a bunch. 168.216.38.82 (talk) 13:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

KY Road ArticlesHello, I notice that in the past you've done quite a bit of editing on State Highway articles that I originate. However, I noticed that on your latest edits to the new entries for KY 101 and KY 259, you've made the comment that "much more work needs to be done". I was curious as to what you meant by this.

In this list of SC highways article, state roads 1 to 50 are in a table and the higher ones are just listed. Is there a reason for the separation?

Heh, I'm gradually coming around. While I apparently wrote the articles per the standard format, I hadn't corrected the infoboxes yet. I've already updated that section on KY 3225, I'll go take care of that on KY 2158 now.

Collaboration on NY 30AThank you for your recent cleanup/update to the history section (together with NY 30). As you're probably aware, I grew up by that highway and that was my first edit to Wikipedia; it's my aim to get it to GA status. It needs at least one photo which I will get in the spring, and I would hope to be able to create a map on my own (if you know how - or if it's better left to those more capable). I also hope to research the archives of the Gloversville Leader-Herald (which will require a trip to that city's library) and at the very least, interview my parents who grew up on opposite sides of the Arterial when it was being built.

Question about article grading scaleObviously whoever grades articles has a checklist, but why is NY 45 listed as start and NY 306 listed at GA. They seem to be pretty much identical articles as far as description, history, intersection table, pictures, map and sources. Just curious what NY 45 would need to meet the same level as NY 306, cause I'll bring it up to speed. Thanks! -Airtuna08 (talk) 01:52, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
I've made significant addition to the parkway's history and future, so I was wondering if you could re-grade the article whenever you have some time. It's at start right now. I made some upgrades to NY 94 as well, but to a lesser extent. Also, if you guys need someone to grade articles or simply have the power to upgrade a grade after working on an article I'm more than willing to help. If that is possible, could you direct me to the checklists or what not I would need in grading. Thanks! -Airtuna08 (talk) 05:50, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Ok, thanks, based on that, I reassessed both articles as B class. I think the Palisades can be graded as even higher.

Bryan Derksen (talk) 10:00, 7 March 2008 (UTC) Lists of minor routesSorry I didn't get a chance to respond on WT:USRD before our tangent got buried. I was only around sparingly the past couple of days and, of course, conversation moves much too quickly for me to be able to keep up properly. You're absolutely right that I hadn't read the talk page on the New York article. But reading that didn't tell me anything I didn't already know from IRC discussions with you. I'm still not sure I see the point of eliminating cheap B's is. A B is a B, regardless of how it came about. It's certainly true that some articles will never reach FA-class, and it's certainly possible that these articles will never even reach GA-class. But that's not a reason for them not to exist at all. I don't know, I just don't see the point. Like NE2 said, "I never really liked the idea of merging unrelated routes into a larger list; it's essentially taking a number of articles and concatenating them for no good reason. It's not really much of a merge, since you just copy the text and stick it in; usually a merge eliminates some overlap between the two articles (such as a named freeway with the route it carries)." What exactly is the point of a merge that doesn't actually eliminate any overlap? Also, as you yourself said, "There really isn't any title that would work that couldn't be construed as OR in someone's eyes..." Well, if it's OR no matter how you present it, then maybe they just weren't meant to be grouped that way. Now, mind you, I'm not trying to start anything here (god no)-- it's not really OR in my eyes. I'm just saying that you can do things your way, and I'll do things mine, cheap B's and all. -- Kéiryn talk 15:08, 10 March 2008 (UTC) Where've you been?Just worried about you.

I intended the bot to go to #13 next so that on the off chance someone was browsing the archives in numerical order, they'd still hit all the threads in chronological order.
