Orphaned fair use image (Image:CPU-Z 1.39.jpeg)
Thanks for uploading Image:CPU-Z 1.39.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 08:59, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Interesting edit
Could you please explain this edit? You gave an edit summary of "fixed infobox" but you actually blanked more than half of the article. Natalie 20:52, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for bringing that to my attention. The page must not have fully loaded for me to edit.  It should be fixed now.

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,

USRD Inactivity check and news report
Hello, MichaelR.. 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.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Windows Installer Screenshot From Nero Setup.jpeg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Windows Installer Screenshot From Nero Setup.jpeg.

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.

NYSR Newsletter - Volume 2, Issue 1

 * You received this message because you specified "NY" as one of your states of interest on the WP:USRD participant page. If you do not want to receive these in the future, please visit this page and remove your name. –  T M F Let's Go Mets - Stats 05:06, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

NYSR participants list
As discussed at WT:USRD, the participants list at WP:USRD is being split by state. Since your name has only "NY" next to it, your name has been removed from the large USRD-wide table, and your name has been added to the NY-specific table. This is part of the lengthy process. If this is in error, please let me know immediately. Regards, Rschen7754 (T C) 04:56, 18 May 2008 (UTC)


 * That's OK because I only work on NYSR articles.—Michael (talk) 13:31, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Dang good pic
...of NY 31B. Thanks so much! You wouldn't happen to have more reference marker pics for decommissioned routes or normal routes, would you? Mitch 32contribs 00:01, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I may be able to get more pictures. I was surprised to find this one.  I just happened to see it when I was driving by.  It's less then a mile from my house; I rode my bike to get the picture.  I live in the Auburn/Syracuse area, so I may be able to get images for this area.  Just let me know what's needed.—Michael (talk) 14:54, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * That would be very useful, as I'm gonna start work soon on an Onondaga Road featured topic, so pictures would so be useful for it. Thanks! Mitch 32contribs 18:21, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
