Sources for Illinois State Route 54
Hello, good work on Illinois State Route 54, and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not provide any references or sources in the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. From what websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Illinois State Route 54? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? You can simply add links, or see WP:CITET if you wish to review some of the different citation methods. Thanks! BRIAN 0918  03:54, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

I see a few things I can improve on. Soon as I get some free time, I'll take a closer look.US 71 20:22, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Userboxes
RE: the photography userbox item. Have you noticed that your userpage has been edited with two userbox redirects to other users pages:- ie Roadfan and Single Male. If you wish you can bypass those by inserting the template code direct, copied from the template itself, in the same way I showed on the Photography talk page. See my userpage for how to put it in.

I did NOT catch that. I will check it out. Thanks. US 71 14:40, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Adding junctions to US Routes
Greetings, while you are editing the junction lists (in the infobox) for U.S. Routes (or any other road for that matter), please remember to include the shield graphic as well to maintain the existing format. For Interstate shields use and for U.S. Route shields use  where XX is the route number. Cheers! -- Stratosphere (U T) 02:10, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

- Oh, right. I got in a hurry and forgot to do that. Thanks for reminding me. US 71 03:06, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Flickr
If this is yours, you should strongly consider uploading some of those photos to Commons. They would help with the numerous Arkansas Highway pages (here's the list) by including photos of the routes. Your decision, I enjoyed the gallery.  Brandonrush   Woo pig sooie!  21:59, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

I'll think about it. Right now, I'm trying to fix all the errors on the grid. US 71 (talk) 21:04, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Arkansas 917-1 shield
It's not exact, but I think it looks pretty good. &mdash;Fredddie™ 23:25, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Looks Good! Thank you. US 71 (talk) 13:20, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Arkansas Highway 980
You appear to have added an incomplete reference that is causing an error. Could you fix it? Thanks ClamDip (talk) 02:34, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Arkansas Highway 265
Hey. Arkansas Highway 265 has three sections, right? Strickler to Fayetteville, Fayetteville to Bethel Heights, and Pea Ridge to Missouri? How can you tell if a highway forms a concurrency vs. just ending and "picking up" again later but as a separate section?  Brandonrush   Woo pig sooie  16:21, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

The easiest way is to check the official state maps. If that fails, then personal experience with the route. Much of my information comes from actually driving the routes. US 71 (talk) 04:39, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Interstate 49 in Arkansas, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Interstate 540 (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Ways to improve Arkansas Highway 612
Hi, I'm Boleyn. US 71, thanks for creating Arkansas Highway 612!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please add your sources.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Update
It has unfortunately been confirmed offwiki that US 71 has died. I am not entirely sure their real life identity was disclosed onwiki so I am hesitant to link the source here. Rschen7754 00:14, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

RIP to another great Wikipedia editor. :(  NASCARfan0548 (alt)  ↗  20:16, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
