Your Talk Page Warnings
Yo -- Did you notice that your automated messages are saying "A link to the edit that was reverted" (or whatever it says) are duplicated? In other words, you're saying the same thing twice. Just wanted to bring this to your attention. DagnyB 01:51, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

U.S. Route 10 in Wisconsin
I had fully intended to add the milemarker (I was also going to add CTH-SS (future WIS 161)). As Lake Rd. currently has no access whatsoever to US-10, I couldn't figure out how to get an accurate measurement with Google Maps and didn't want to add any incorrect data. If you have any tips with this I'd be more than willing to add the info EC2 22:43, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I found a site (http://wispolitics.com/index_pda.iml?Article=96444) that lists the milage from CTH J to Lake Rd (the entire project) at 5.9 miles - I added this to the milemarker for CTH-J to get the distance. I hope it's relatively accurate.EC2 03:09, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Erie Transportation & Talk Page
You don't have to worry about me tagging articles for Erie transportation (when WP:ERIE was new & it's scope was still being decided, I was almost fanatical in feeling that broad subjects shouldn't be included with Erie). I like the new color, by the way.

I was able to place a table of contents on my talk page. I'm still trying to figure how to do section editing though (if can you figure out a way without drastically altering it, please go right ahead) Figured out how to get section editing. --​​​​Dtbohrer​​​ ​talk•contribs 15:20, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Pennsylvania Turnpike
I noticed that you added the Citecheck tag to Pennsylvania Turnpike, but did not explain what sources you felt were inappropriate or misinterpreted on the Talk page. Could you please visit the Talk page and let us know what sources you think were unreliable? If your concern is the amount of source material/uncited statements, then refimprove may be a more appropriate tag. In any case, could you please come over to Talk:Pennsylvania Turnpike and clue us in? Your input is welcome. Thanks, -Clubjuggle 07:41, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the speedy reply! I'm good with that explanation. If you agree, I'll go ahead and remove, replace with , and put a  tag on the Talk page. Thanks! --Clubjuggle 07:59, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

An important letter
Dear roads editor,

You may have noticed some changes at WP:USRD lately. Some of them, like the cleanup templates and the stub templates, have been astounding and great. Unfortunately, others have been disturbing.

This has become evidenced by the departure of a few prominent editors at USRD, a few RFC's, and much fighting among USRD editors.

After the second RFC, many of us found the opportunity to take a step away from Wikipedia for a while--as a self-imposed wikibreak, or possibly on vacation.

The result of such introspection was that many of us were placing ourselves in a "walled garden" and on a self-imposed pedestal of authority over the roads department. Also, we were being hostile to a few users who were not agreeing with us.

In fact, IRC has been the main incarnation of this "walled garden." Decisions have been made there to conduct grudges and prejudices against a few valued USRD users with poor justification.

For this, we have come to apologize. We have come to ask your forgiveness.

In addition to this, we hope to work as one USRD team from now on and to encourage cooperation instead of the promotion of interests.

All users are welcome to collaborate on IRC, the newsletter, or anywhere else at USRD.

In the future, please feel free to approach us about any issues you may have.

Regards,

16:53, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

U.S. Route 10 in Wisconsin

County roads in Hennepin County, Minnesota

Detour Image on I-35W
Thanks for looking into the license status of the image. I was checking my watchlist on my lunch break and didn't have time for a full lookup. I figured if we're going to put the image in, at least put it at standard size. However, but me in the column of "it doesn't add anything to the article," at least not in the infobox. In the exit list, I can maybe see some merit, but not in the infobox. —C.Fred (talk) 03:40, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Your edit to Talk:Chesapeake Bay Bridge
The recent edit you made to this page did nothing other than removing the WikiProject Roads in Maryland template and moving the WikiProject U.S. Roads template to the top, both have been reported as known issues with the Kingbotk plugin. Just thought I'd let you know, and be careful when using this on any other page that uses a banner-enclosing template such as BannerShell.-Jeff (talk) 11:56, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * thanks for the notice - I've been catching them - and should have notified the writer of the plugin myself - I updated the page manually - the MD plate didn't have "hasmap" set on it - and we now use U.S. Roads WikiProject with a "state" setting in it.  master son T - C 12:07, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive featured on DYK
Thank you for nominating the KMSD for the Did You Know section on the main page. I had no idea that you were planning to do that! I consider this nomination to be my 25th successful nomination, and that's a special number to me. I'm plan that we got to collaborate on this article! I've always enjoyed working with you. Since you might have been missed by the DYK helper, here's the DYK box:


 * Thanks - and congratulations man - the fact about Road America turned out to be a good hook.  master son T - C 17:05, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I would have sourced it (if possible) if I would have know that you were going to use it. I would have taken a picture of the Marsh sign. It is an excellent hook. I didn't even consider listing the article on the DYK section. Royal broil  20:59, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I just found this article. Definitely one that needed to be written. Nice work! -Freekee 15:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Template Discussion
No worries! I know you guys are trying to come to a consensus on the format for articles, and I seemed like an outsider that randomly contrasted your efforts - it's true, when you think about it. So I decided that in order to have my opinion count, I should join and validate my ideas. Either way, I understand where you're coming from, and I just want to make a better wiki for all of us too!

USRD Inactivity check and news report
Hello, Master son. We had a few urgent matters to communicate to you:
 * 1) Please update your information at WikiProject U.S. Roads/Participants, our new centralized participant list. Those who have not done so by October 20th will be removed.
 * 2) There are important discussions taking place at WT:USRD relating to whether WP:USRD, WP:HWY, or the state projects should hold the "power" in the roads projects.

MNSH
Take a look at User:Sable232/Sandbox. Do you think that's a good format for the county highway articles? (Alternately, do you think it's worthwhile making these articles in the first place?) --Sable232 02:55, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Honestly, county routes are better off as lists as such here (I'm assuming that this is for one county 8) ) and this looks perfect. NE2 has also made a list for County roads in Hennepin County, Minnesota which might be worth looking at.  As for individual articles, unless the route has a major historical significance or is a key freeway - I would not make an article for a county route.

Re: Minnesota Highway 371 Business
Thanks for making me aware about the policy involving bannered routes. As a result, I added a new section to Highway 371 about the Business route (with the new shield image), and just set the article page I had created for the Business route as a redirect to the new section (unless you want to delete it permanently) SpaceJunkie (talk) 21:35, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Just a quick note to say how much I like you recent edits to WIS 19. I've expanded some of them, as I live in Marshall, and there are some CTH that are in my area. Please keep it up! Timmccloud (talk) 23:19, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

 * I have, thank you for the information.  —  master son T - C 22:42, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

No; I can generally find the article title with some creative searching, but if not I just give the newspaper and date. For these small newspapers it won't be too hard for someone wishing verification and having access to copies to just page through and find it. In this case, however, I can barely read the headline under the big photo: "Change Number of Highway to Avoid Conflict", and that's confirmed with a search. --NE2 23:36, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Wisconsin Highway 23
I notice that you in the middle of an expansion in the article. Would you fix the link to the incorrect spelling from Tommy Barlett to Tommy Bartlett? I just moved the article as you suggested. I hope things are well with you! Royal broil 01:52, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the help on "finishing" the WIS 16 article. I did some cleaning up of the article (link-fixing, a spell check, minor stuff). I'm going to try to get a WP-style map of the route up tonight.
