US Route 70 Bypass (Goldsboro, North Carolina)‎
Hello Benf2000, though I appreciate your move, it should have went to U.S. Route 70 Bypass (Goldsboro, North Carolina), it's missing the periods, which are standard. Thanks. --WashuOtaku (talk) 13:02, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Golden image
I nominated your Jared Golden picture for deletion, as the newspaper you got it from likely owns the copyright to it and those usually don't allow for free use. We will get his official Congressional picture in January. 331dot (talk) 09:21, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Ben! I've noticed that you've gone ahead and uploaded a ton of different non-free photos into Wikimedia Commons. Could you delete those photos? Congressional photos will come out in January and we'll be able to use those then-- in the meantime, most of those photos are copyrighted materials of the campaigns that created them.
