Orphaned non-free media (Image:Mdtalogonew.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Mdtalogonew.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:30, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Toll roads
I have no problem with you edits in principle, but is it worth rephrasing this a bit (having lived in both places and driven them), e.g. that it is "tollway" in the Ontario 407 article (which redirects to toll road)? And a toll road is far older than just North America, would be called a turnpike, and literally had a pikestaff that needed to be turned to open the gate. I just think this is become too centric to North America, although I don't object to any individual edit.

Simon, always open to discussion on this or any other subject.

IMO, the words and phrases turnpike, pike, toll road, tollway, autoroute (at least those posted péage in France, as all of the Québec autoroutes have been de-tolled) autostrada, transportation corridor (Orange County, Calif.) and even thruway (as in the N.Y. State Thruway and the less-famous Baltimore Harbor Tunnel Thruway (I-895)) are all synonymous when we discuss tolled motorway- or freeway-standard roads. And then we have parkways that are tolled (though toll parkways in Connecticut, New York and Kentucky have been mostly or entirely de-tolled, leaving just New Jersey's Garden State Parkway. Maybe that should be made clear?

Old turnpikes that have become free roads and streets abound in the United States, at least in parts of the East and South. Just in Maryland and Virginia we have two Columbia Pikes (part of U.S. 29 in Md. and Va. 244), Rockville Pike (Md. 355), Leesburg Pike (Va. 7), Little River Turnpike (Va. 236), Buckeystown Pike (Md. 85) and the easternmost part of the National Road (dates to 1811) - much of which is present-day U.S. 40).

User 72.35.135.79 deleted a block of text, claiming it was "pov," leaving a a reference to a document by Environmental Defense unrebutted. Because the text pointed to the legally binding ICC environmental impact statement, I do not believe it was "pov." I have not undone that edit, because I do not wish to start a flame war, but I am curious how others here feel. Cpzilliacus (talk) 01:42, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Maryland House, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Perryville (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
