User talk:RyGuy012

Hello! Welcome to wikipedia. Please be more careful with your edits, some of the infobox and table edits you made today broke formatting. It might be best to wait until you've had more experience with wikiformatting before changing things in the infoboxes. Also do be advised that "largest highway" is ambiguous, it could refer to "longest", "widest" or "most expensive", which would be better adjectives to use.

Speedy deletion nomination of U.S. Route 66 in Indiana


A tag has been placed on U.S. Route 66 in Indiana, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
 * It is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. (See section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Editing road articles
Hello RyGuy012. I have reverted your recent edits to Interstate 80. We generally don't put decommissioned routes in the junction lists (and there is a limit on the number of junctions that should be listed in the infobox anyway), and one of your edits unnecessarily introduced a red link where the previous link was fine.

I don't want you to get discouraged with reverts and contributions being deleted. You seem to be a new user and like editing road-related articles in the U.S. Might I suggest you take a look at the U.S. Roads WikiProject, and in particular their New User Orientation that can give you some good tips on editing road articles.

 * I have again reverted your edits to Interstate 80. The junction list in the infobox should not have more than 10 junctions. For a national highway like I-80, we stick to the junctions of major interstates only (those ending in 0 or 5). Please take a look at the U.S. Roads WikiProject Article Standards for more info. --  LJ  ↗  17:32, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

August 2014
Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to [[California State Route 1]]. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Once is a mistake, twice is a co-incidence, thrice.... Dave (talk) 15:31, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
