Map
That should be a temporary problem, it seems that something broke with the Wikidata software over the last week and I'm trying to see what happened. --Rschen7754 20:04, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
 * It was there this morning, we made some edits to the article, and then it was gone, but there was no diff showing the map line being removed. --  Admr Boltz  20:10, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The map is actually on Q452995 which is linked to the article, and that should be sufficient with the reprogrammed infobox road to display the map... until the Wikidata software broke over the last week. Yeah, you have a bit to catch up on... :P --Rschen7754 20:16, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Wow... yeah... I'm totally lost... Wikidata? --  Admr Boltz  20:20, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
 * It's like Commons, except it stores facts that can then be used across all Wikimedia sites. The interwiki links now go through there too. --Rschen7754 20:22, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Interesting. --  Admr Boltz  20:27, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, I did some pokes on IRC and they've found the bug... just waiting on the fix to be deployed. Hopefully this should be within the hour. --Rschen7754 21:24, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Possible stuff for I-70 WV
May want to check http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/Planning/TechServ/TIM/Pages/OfficialTransportationMaps.aspx and http://www.davidrumsey.com/, just in case there are any relevant maps. I know that we prefer newspaper articles/documents/etc. but maps might be helpful. --Rschen7754 03:57, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Nomination for deletion of Template:Indiana Interstate Highways
This is very premature. If this infobox is found worthy of deletion, then so is Template:Illinois Interstate Highways the infobox that is was based on. It would probably be best to let WikiProject Indiana deal with the infobox which was only just created this morning before nominating it for deletion. Postpone nomination until at least 02/01/2014 to give WikiProject Indiana time to examine and improve the infobox. Rhatsa26X (talk) 18:54, 29 December 2013

Alaska routes
Since you mention that...I was working on revamping those tables. Of course, it's lots of work and I'm suddenly trying to find time for this, period. There's also issues. The fact that multiple sources exist for city/CDP boundaries (off the top of my head, Census FactFinder, Google Maps and the state Department of Labor) will make that part easier. In the case of the Glenn Highway, the Parks Highway interchange is only in Palmer in a colloquial sense, by virtue of addresses in the surrounding area using the 99645 ZIP code. It's actually physically located in the Gateway CDP. There's a lot of that to correct. The other major issue is that sourced actual mileages (from DOT&PF) and physical milepost-based mileages (and in the case of the Alaska Highway, historical mileposts), as sourced from The Milepost, often differ. As the template doesn't support it, I still haven't figured out the best way to accommodate both, as this situation applies more than it doesn't.

The other matter on my mind was the blanking of the Tok Cut-Off article. There's been a years-long variety of discussion, with nothing I'd call consensus, to the effect that a "one size fits all" approach isn't the best to take to cover Alaska roads. Mainly, resolving name versus number issues inasfar as figuring out what's really notable and/or commonly known. Down south, what would otherwise be local roads are deemed inherently notable due to some three-digit number on a map. As Alaska is nowhere near as overrun with roads as most other states, it's hard for me to say that the same thing works here. There's also the matter of fact that many Alaskans simply don't know the highways by route number, only by name. There is a certain amount of overlap in these articles which could be trimmed down. OTOH, I once again defer to The Milepost. If the Tok Cut-Off (or any other highway) is covered in its own section, that's a good enough indication that it deserves its own article. is also familiar with The Milepost and may possibly be willing to corroborate any or all of this. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 02:02, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I was on the fence about the Tok Cut-Off. If you want to revert the changes, please feel free. The changes were made as part of a U.S. Roads drive to remove stubs for the year. I will have to invest in a copy of The Milepost as I would like to see our coverage on Alaska Roads be much better than it is. I think one of the most... confusing parts of it is that the highway numbers along one route will change (e.g. Glenn going from 1 > 3), which gives most of us "southerners" issues. If you have the time, we are always looking for contributors, and we need someone for the Alaska task force. --  Admr Boltz  02:08, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
 * WP:AURD also has the name versus number issues: see Mitchell Freeway, Kwinana Freeway (recently FA), etc. --Rschen7754 02:51, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, I've been working on these articles since I started this account in 2006. I just haven't been very active.  I do have a bunch of photos stashed on disks which will help tremendously, taken from my travels.  For example, no photos yet of the Seward Highway in the Anchorage bowl.  I took a gang of photos of the northern three miles of the Seward, including the current construction, plus around the Dimond Boulevard interchange.  Unfortunately, the clunkiness of the Commons upload interface combined with the theft of my laptop earlier this year put a grinding halt to most of my work over there.
 * As for The Milepost, I started collecting past editions again, but I had to leave them in storage, so no help at the moment. The 2003 reprint of the original 1949 edition is easy to find, but it's more a historical curiosity than anything else;  pretty bare-bones compared with later editions published by Alaska Northwest Books and Morris Communications.  Editions prior to the early 1970s tend to be rare/pricey on the used market, but 1970s editions in good or better shape can still be found for a dollar or two apiece.

specs on listing rare, out of print book
Hi: This U.S. One book is very rare-- found it in the old AAA library in FLA that no longer exists, and in spite of a thorough Wiki page, still not mentioned. The point of the quotes was to alert road enthusiast/historians that there was a series of c. 1938 WPA-funded books. Also, the mile-by-mile description quote was to alert readers/historians that this exists c. 1938. Only the truly committed (like students and academics) would probably track down this important historical resource though.

Was planning to do similar with a 1938 book on the Ocean Highway, so please advise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Piero79 (talk • contribs) 17:54, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * You are more than welcome to add a citation for the book on the article, just please format it correctly. You can use cite book to properly format the link. See for example Wendover Cut-off. --  Admr Boltz  17:59, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Are you indirectly saying that you do not accept the argumentation for the addition of the quotes in this exceptional context? Why did you delete the important source and just cut out the quotes you scanned or didn't think were appropriate? The initial reference itself seems fine here. Please clarify — Preceding unsigned comment added by Piero79 (talk • contribs) 18:47, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

AIV report
Hello, Admrboltz. I really have to disagree with this. The IP address has been the source of vandalism for over six months, the nature of the vandalism making it perfectly clear that it is the same person all along. The user was first warned in August 2013, and has continued the same type of vandalism ever since, so it is certainly not true that there has been no editing since being warned. In the case of a dynamic IP address where recent edits have no evident connection with older ones, it makes sense to presume that we are dealing with a new editor, and discount old warnings which were probably for a different person. However, that makes no sense at all in a case such as this one, where it must be blindingly obvious to anyone who has looked at a sample of the edits that it is the same person.

Lincoln Highway - IUP.EDU source
FYI, Several USRD articles have used a book about the Lincoln Highway published by the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, including SR 201 that you and I just changed copy-edits on. That book is a great source of information, but for some reason the IT department at iup.edu insists on moving it around their website every few years. =-). I downloaded it back when it was all in .doc format several years ago just in case it's ever completely lost. Maybe this would be a good use for a template, so the URL only has to be updated in one place? IDK, I'm so far out of things anymore. Dave (talk) 20:40, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

The blurb as it stands now is below:

At 14.45 mi, the West Virginia segment of Interstate 70 (I-70) is the shortest in any state through which I-70 passes on its way from near Cove Fort, Utah, to near Baltimore, Maryland. Part of the U.S. Interstate Highway System, it crosses the Northern Panhandle region of West Virginia through Ohio County and the city of Wheeling. The Fort Henry Bridge carries I-70 from Wheeling Island across the Ohio River and into downtown Wheeling before the freeway enters the Wheeling Tunnel. I-470, the lone auxiliary Interstate Highway in West Virginia, is intersected near Elm Grove. Before crossing into Pennsylvania, I-70 passes The Highlands, a major shopping center, and the Bear Rock Lakes Wildlife Management Area. Between 27,000 and 53,000 vehicles use the freeway daily. The I-70 designation was brought to the Northern Panhandle with the passage of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, and a controlled-access highway was built across the panhandle, bypassing portions of the old National Road constructed in 1818 to connect Wheeling and Cumberland, Maryland. The first portions of I-70 were opened in 1963, and construction was completed across the panhandle by 1971. UcuchaBot (talk) 23:01, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Since when is 11 days "stale"? Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 23:33, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Seems pretty stale to me... Especially on a dynamic IP address. --  Admr Boltz  23:34, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * As the user has received so many warnings already, it seems to me that the user is getting away with "slow" vandalism. Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 23:37, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Please see point 3 on AIV "The warnings must have been given recently and the users must be active now, especially for unregistered users." --  Admr Boltz  23:44, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Bringing up wording as nebulous as "recently" is a bit pointless in this case, especially without addressing the point I just brought up. Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 23:48, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * If you do not believe that I handled the situation correctly, please report the user to WP:AN/I. --  Admr Boltz  23:51, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

The user has continued to vandalize even after I posted a new warning. Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 00:52, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

 * It may an idea to un-block User:JohnSandercock, which you seem to have blocked for decency. Sandercock is a known surname. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:49, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
 * If the user requests it, I will. --  Admr Boltz  17:52, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
