County road notability
If a subject is going to have a separate article on Wikipedia, it has to be notable. The rule of thumb for this is WP:GNG, the General Notability Guideline. For state highways, they've been assumed to be notable. For county roads, they normally have to individually meet the GNG rule. Normally, individual CRs will not have articles, and instead they're merged into lists.

For example, Brockway Mountain Drive has an article, but none of the other county roads in Keweenaw County, Michigan, do. County Road 492 (Marquette County, Michigan), County Road 510 (Marquette County, Michigan) and County Road 595 (Marquette County, Michigan) all do, but for now County Road 601 (Marquette County, Michigan) does not. In the future, I could create List of county roads in Marquette County, Michigan and create a single table that lists all of them, linking to just those that exist. List of County-Designated Highways in Michigan has such a table for that statewide system of roadways.

For those reasons, I redirected the two articles you created to their lines of the appropriate table. I'd also recommend that if you did create any articles, that you use the standardized naming scheme: "County Road/Route/Highway X (Y County, Z)" where X is the number, Y is the name of the county, and Z is the name of the state.

August 2016
Hello, I'm Dual Freq. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''City / Village / Town is how the municipality is incorporated. It is not based on population. Please do not continue to change without a citation. Thank you.''

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give O'Hare West Bypass a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you.

 * Also, you should take a look at WP:USH, which is the naming convention for how we title highway articles. In this case, the correct title would have been Interstate 490 (Illinois). The title you picked is for a state-detail sub articles, not a single-state auxiliary Interstate which shares its name with another highway in another state.

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:


 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks!  Imzadi 1979  →   19:08, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

U.S. Route 52 in Illinois
I made some basic formatting fixes. Before you create any more articles like that, I do suggest you take a look at USRD's new user orientation page. That will help give you some basics on how to format a highway article. Also, to be perfectly blunt, don't be surprised if in a few days that your new article were directed back to the parent article. In short, you need more than just an RD section to justify creating the sub article. At a bare minimum, I'd suggest you either write the start of a decent history section, or create the missing junction list table. Without either of these, a reader would be better off reading the IL subsection of the parent article's RD section.  Imzadi 1979  →   05:08, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Roads and expressways in Chicago
Another note -- your edits to Roads and expressways in Chicago were incorrect. You were inserting half-mile streets -- 26th, 51st, 59th, 67th, and 83rd. South of 31st Street, a mile is always 8 blocks. Feel free to add the half-mile streets, but make sure you're doing it right. Your last edit had 95th Street at mile 16 from Madison Ave -- please ensure your basic facts are correct before making further edits. Vlad (talk) 03:03, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Please read
Please read the entire thread here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_U.S._Roads. You and I have had some differences in opinions about county roads, so I'd like you to read that thread and learn from it. You will become a better editor if you can explain why you do something. In addition, all of the people who chimed in there have been USRD editors for at least five years and most of whom are nearing ten years, so they know what they're talking about. Feel free to come to me or any other USRD editor if you have questions about anything. –Fredddie™ 21:04, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Interstate 594


The article Interstate 594 has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * no citation given that verifies that this has actually been proposed by a government agency

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Ways to improve Interstate 594
Hi, I'm Pmaccabe. Hunter Dudlicek, thanks for creating Interstate 594!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Some good references may help that the proposal itself is notable. Particularly anything indicating it is more likely than not to be implemented, such as that votes have taken place to approve it or money has been committed to implement it.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Phil (talk) 04:18, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Nomination of Interstate 594 for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Interstate 594 is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Interstate 594 until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.  Imzadi 1979  →   03:00, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

Reversion of recent edits involving Michigan highways
They've been reverted for the following reasons:
 * 1) We only list alternate names in an infobox if each name applies to the entire length of the highway. The section of I-196 in Van Buren County has not been named for the president, and none of those four names applies to all of M-10.
 * 2) Michigan is a "highway" state; as such, it uses "US Highway" and not "US Route" in infoboxes and running prose; other Midwestern states are as well. This is acceptable per WP:USSH and should not be changed.

Please exercise more care in the future about your editing, especially when editing articles that have attained Featured Article status and gone through the extra levels of scrutiny necessary for that status.  Imzadi 1979  →   00:28, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
