Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and ask your question there. If you are interested, there is already a community of users who are roadfans or who edit articles about roads, just like you! Stop by any of these WikiProjects—WP:HWY (worldwide), WP:AURD (Australia), WP:CRWP (Canada), WP:HKRD (Hong Kong), WP:INR (India), WP:UKRD (United Kingdom), or WP:USRD (United States)—and contribute. If your interest is in roads in the United States, there is an excellent new user's guide. There is a wealth of information and resources for creating a great article. If you have questions about any of these WikiProjects, you can ask on each project's talk page, or you can ask me! If you like communicating through IRC, feel free to ask questions at as well. Here, there are several editors who are willing to answer your questions. For more information, see WP:HWY/IRC. Again, welcome!  Imzadi 1979  →   20:45, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Interstate 94 in Wisconsin
I have reverted your last two edits, restoring the article back to an earlier state.

I had posted a template at the top of the exit list section that says, "This section is actively undergoing a major edit for a short while. To help avoid edit conflicts, please do not edit this section while this message is displayed." I put that there to avoid what just happened. Whenever two people try to edit the same section of an article, the servers will get confused if both try to save changes. That is called an edit conflict.

Now, the bigger problem is that I'm inserting the mileposts from WisDOT's own logs (see my edit summaries in the article's edit history), and correcting the locations listed to match the actual town, village and city boundaries according to WisDOT. This is time consuming work, which is why I've saved after consulting the highway log for the Northwest Region and again after consulting the log for the Southwest Region.

It also looks like you're using Google Maps to compute the mileposts. Please don't. We've found that GMaps is a poor substitute for the actual logs. One reason is that they round to the 0.1 of a mile up to 100 miles, and then to the nearest mile after that. WisDOT's logs are precise to the nearest 0.01 mile, and we can have a consistent number of decimal places for all of the mileposts.

Please respect the template and avoid editing that section of the article until after I finish and remove the notice. That's just the nice thing to do when someone notifies you that he's doing a "major edit".  Imzadi 1979  →   01:51, 30 March 2014 (UTC)


 * And I finished my work a little while ago. Please feel free to edit the article once again, and I hope you continue to make improvements to it.  Imzadi 1979  →   03:51, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
