Stub count update for 9 February
As of 9 February, the current stub count for USRD is 5753. That is a reduction of 131 stubs from around a month and of 214 stubs since this count began. We still need to reduce the stub count by 2790 by the end of the year to reach our goal. Get to it! To make our goal, we'll need to drop ≈ 277 stubs per month from the total over the next 11 months. Remember—quality, not needless quantity. CL (T · C) — 04:34, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Inactive state projects
A discussion has been taking place at USRD regarding inactive state highway projects. Several projects with a low amount article edits (other than bots or random maintenance) have been proposed for demotion to task forces due to inactivity. Please visit WT:USRD/SUB to view and comment on the pending demotion proposals. --LJ (talk) 00:06, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
