WikiProject Pittsburgh activity and membership
WikiProject Pittsburgh is rolling out some new features (see our discussions at WT:PITTSBURGH). We are also trying to determine how many members are active, and interested in contributing to Pittsburgh content or coming to our real life meetups to discuss Wikipedia in general. I see you are listed in Category:WikiProject Pittsburgh members but you have not added yourself to our member listing. If you could go to WikiProject Pittsburgh/Members and add your to the active or semi-active group (depending on your interest in Pittsburgh issue and overall activity) groups, this would be great. Hopefully in a near future you'll also receive our first newsletter with various information on what we have been doing, and what useful tools are available (note that this newsletter and many other Pittsburgh-related notices will be automated and send only to editors who have added themselves to our members page). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk 20:24, 26 June 2011 (UTC) Also, you may want to update your wikiproject members list to your new account name, so that automated messages are not directed at the obsoleted page.

Naoto Kan
I reversed your move of my paragraph about Kan's resignation plans. You moved it into the paragraph before the final one, leaving a July development unrelated directly to the resignation as the final career paragraph. I think maintaining chronological order in a big section for such a significant event is important. Quick-update readers will scan to see if there's anything elaborating on the unfootnoted line in the introduction, way above. I in fact first thought you'd just removed my paragraph, and don't think I'd be alone in concluding July was the final event chronicled, the way you left it. I brought an earlier (Aug. 10) sentence, adding "2011" to it, down to start my (augmented, final) paragraph; and I added a link to the article covering the succession election to complete it. I hope you can concur but would be glad to hear a different rationale. Thanks and cheers. Swliv (talk) 23:10, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I had just thought that it would make more sense to put your paragraph in with the other paragraph about pressure on Kan to resign, however, I see your reasoning and am inclined to agree. - Presidentman talk·contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 00:52, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Texas A&M >>> SEC
Greetings, Presidentman.

I have just reverted your recent change to the Southeastern Conference, specifically your change to the membership timeline that shows Texas A&M as a current member of the conference. Texas A&M has applied to join the SEC, and the conference has approved its application to join conditionally, subject to the remaining members of the Big XII waiving any potential legal claims against A&M and the SEC. As I am sure you know already, Baylor and two or three other schools have not yet waived such claims and are holding A&M hostage to better leverage Texas and Oklahoma to stay in the Bog XII. Bottom line: A&M is not a current member of the SEC, and the condition of its acceptance as a member has not yet been satisfied. You will note that there is already a section within the article which discusses potential SEC expansion in 2012, including the politics of A&M's possible/probable membership in the SEC. Please do not edit the SEC article to again indicate that A&M is a current member unless and until there are reliable and verifiable sources for current membership that you can include in a footnote per WP:RS and WP:V. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a predictor of future events per WP:CRYSTAL. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:36, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, NRHP photos
Dear Prez,

Thanks for being the first to contribute to the NRHP photo contest. Perhaps the rules are not as clear as they should be, but I interpret "Photos must be taken and uploaded during the given time period" to mean "taken by you." I'll remove the one in DC and let Eyabe decide about Georgia. And if he disagrees with me, please let me know and I'll reconsider. Thanks for your understanding on this.

Sincerely,

Just a reminder
The WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/Fall 2011 Photo Contest closes in a few minutes. I was sorry not to see many people take up your challenges, but thanks for taking the time to pose the challenges. I'll ask that you tie up any loose ends over the next couple of days (perhaps a note on the contest page). Thanks again. Smallbones (talk) 04:41, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Just a note
When you're creating junction/exit lists, if you're using the colored lines generated by the  in the templates, you need to be using legendRJL instead of jctbtm at the bottom of the table. The reason is that legendRJL has the color key for the meanings behind the colors, that's required by MOS:RJL for junction lists. If the tables don't have any colors, jctbtm is the appropriate template to use.  Imzadi 1979  →   01:13, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I stumbled onto your Virtual drives page. You have a licensing problem with all of the Signmaker images on that page. Namely, you don't have permission to release them into the public domain. In fact, the "Legalese" section at SignMaker Central specifically says, and I quote: "SignMaker and TD71 are free for noncommercial use." That isn't exactly compatible with a release into the public domain, since there is the implied restriction that using files from the program for commercial purposes is not permitted. As a second concern, WP:NOTMYSPACE kind of limits what you can do in your user space, and I think the page fails that policy, so you probably should just tag the graphics for deletion on Commons, and tag the pages to be removed.

USRD importance assessments
Not sure if you knew, but in general, here's how USRD articles are assessed for importance:
 * Top - Usually only the state lists, like "List of US Highways in X State"
 * High - Interstate, US Highways
 * Mid - State highways
 * Low - County highways
 * NA - anything that doesn't fall into the FA, A, GA, B, C, Start, Stub, List categories. The banner should do this for us.

Hope this helps! –Fredddie™ 18:14, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Some writing tips for highway articles
In no particular order: I hope that you find these suggestions helpful. If you have questions, let me know. We appreciate efforts to improve the articles for Georgia and other states where we are lacking regular editors.  Imzadi 1979  →   01:10, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * The word junction isn't a verb; it's a noun. Two roads may intersect at a junction, but they don't junction.
 * Roads don't have opinions, so they can't agree with each other. The verb concur means agree, so I think you want to say that two roads run concurrently. As a benefit to our readers, link it similar to runs concurrently so they can be click the link to our concurrency article.
 * If a highway designation has a space in it, like SR 135, you should use a non-breaking space, which is entered using the code . That way, if the designation falls at the end of a line, the SR can't appear at the end of one line and the 135 is left hanging out alone at the start of the next line. The same thing goes for county roads (CR) and US Highways (US). Do this in prose and the junction list table.
 * The first time you mention a highway designation of each type, spell out the full name and add the abbreviation in parentheses afterwards so that readers understand that US 23 is an abbreviation for US Route 23. (Yes, I used a non-breaking space to join the word Route to the 23. For the same reasons as my last point.
 * In dealing with references, we have cite map for general map citations, which accepts a publisher and a cartography source. The GDOT functional classification maps are published by GDOT using cartography by the Office of Transportation Data. FHWA is a part of USDOT, and might have helped GDOT prepare them, but they didn't create or publish them. Even if they got credit, they aren't two separate things because FHWA is a part of USDOT.
 * Any time you're copying a title of a work, for a citation or even a mention in the prose, reduce ALLCAPS to Title Case or Sentence Case. FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION MAP - BERRIEN COUNTY, GEORGIA then becomes Functional Classification Map: Berrien County, Georgia.
 * In the notes column, can you give directional indications for some things? Which terminus is it: the northern, southern, eastern or western? It's not necessary to mention the termini of the subject of the article.
 * Which end of the concurrency is it? Remember that except for one-way streets, roadways run in both directions, and it's purely arbitrary to write the articles west-to-east or south-to-north. Even on a north–south road like U.S. Route 41 in Michigan, the concurrency with M-28 (Michigan highway) runs east–west. The junction in Harvey, Michigan, would then be the "Eastern end of the M-28 concurrency", and the one in Covington, Michigan, would be the "Western end of the M-28 concurrency".
 * If you continue writing about highways, it's always helpful to give the reader some idea of what's around the roadway. Are these cities big or small? Does the road pass through forests, farms, desert, river valleys? If you use a reference to the satellite view in Google Maps for the overall highway (like the cites to Google for lengths I've seen you use) then you can add that detail. Look through the USRD FA-, A-. or GA-Class articles for ideas on what makes a good RD section for a roadway article.
 * Something else I thought about after I wrote this, but can you spell out road names? Not all of our readers speak or read English as their first language, so some abbreviations can be confusing. For instance, Dr. is also short for doctor and St. is also used for Saint. In Italian, S. is the abbreviation for saint, which can also cause potential confusion. Yes, we abbreviate highway designations, but we also explicitly define what that abbreviation is in parentheses like I mentioned in my fourth bullet point above. The AP Stylebook only recommends abbreviating street names when giving full addresses, and spelling out the full name when talking about the road in general, which is a good practice.

Hello, I've reverted your edits to DE 20 because the route does in fact end at DE 54. The road was officially truncated to DE 54 and the DelDOT log has not been updated to reflect this.
