GA review on River Torrens
Hi Scott, thanks for the thoughtful review. I must admit that spelling, grammer and punctuation are not my strong points ! - Peripitus (Talk) 09:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

PA 145's history
I can't quite understand this sentence you put on PA 145's history "By 1960, PA 145 would be extended southward to end at an interchange with Interstate 78 and U.S. Route 22 in Whitehall Township", where did you get this information? --  JA 10  T · C 21:19, 13 April 2007 (UTC)


 * It's cool, I know you were trying to help don't worry about it. I need to erase that sentence though I'm sorry, It has the wrong information. I hope by adding more info to the history, will make the article more interesting and will atract the attention of FAC editors. --  JA 10  T · C 22:52, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

JCT/Exit list generator
I'm taking your suggestions into consideration and writing it in C++ instead. I'm going to write it in Visual C++ .NET, but the .NET guis will be isolated from the rest of the code - so that one could write linux GUIs to interface with the application. --  master_son  Talk  -  Edits 22:11, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Shortest state highway in Oklahoma
I've been adding some missing routes to List of Oklahoma numbered highways; currently the shortest there with a defined mileage is SH-19D. The Control Section Map Book is useful for getting a full list of routes and lengths of the shorter routes, but overlaps are not treated well, so the lengths of most longer routes cannot be found with it. --NE2 06:34, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Interesting; I hadn't found that particular history source; I had found the PDFs for U.S. Highways. I assume you mean SH-7 rather than SH-4? Looking carefully at the official maps, the original SH-4 is last on the 1934 map, while the 1935 and 1936 maps show a short route that forms part of current SH-37, which it was renumbered to for some reason by the 1937 map. The first and second SH-7s did touch, but were otherwise unrelated. --NE2 06:42, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

The older official maps show 19A and 19B further to the east; I don't remember exactly where. Right now I'm concentrating on the history of the unsuffixed routes. --NE2 06:46, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Oklahoma State Highway 66
What would be described here that wouldn't be described in U.S. Route 66 in Oklahoma? --NE2 23:06, 25 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually US 66 did use I-44 through those cities aftor the 1950s. I just don't see what would be in the SH-66 article that wouldn't be in US-66; any description of the route and certainly any history would be needlessly duplicated. --NE2 06:02, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I think there's maybe one change that was made after 1985, and that's a minor realignment. --NE2 06:25, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * US-66 became SH-66, and SH-66 became SH-66B. Any history of the pre-1985 SH-66 would be in the SH-66B article. --NE2 06:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * So then we have an article about SH-66 for which most of the information isn't even about the route? That short bit could just go in the US-66 description. Anyway, we could instead cover everything about the SH-66 portion, going back to the original US-66 and predecessors, in the SH-66 article, and cover the details west of El Reno and east of White Oak in the US-66 article. Does that sound reasonable? --NE2 06:50, 26 July 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,

Alternate 69 picture
While the description says northwest Oklahoma, shouldn't it be northeast Oklahoma? I'm not sure what you got to do with Wikimedia Commons, but this looks like an obvious error. DandyDan2007 11:53, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

2mil
Hi, I think you created the 2mil'th article! Congrats! Phgao 08:27, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Re: Qualify First
Yeah, thanks about that. I figured though I would try and at least get pages set up for the PA state routes. The way I see it, if I at least get pages created for them (even if they are stub's), it might get more people to see that there is a page for that route, and help to expand the page.

Im in the 900's now, so once I get the rest of the active PA state routes (23 more by my count), I was gonna start and help out with expanding the other articles. Whammies Were Here 07:34, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
