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,

Ordinal mayors

I noticed you numbered the mayors of Erie. It's a good idea, although I've not come across a source that tells me conclusively that all of the mayors are included. I'm going to give Depinit and Saltsman three-year terms and be done with the question marks. They were my biggest concern. I guess we can go ordinal. I'd be more comfortable, though, if the local government had a definitive list from which we could confirm ours. Have you seen a list on display, or a gallery of paintings, etc, at city hall? I've not seen a comprehensive list at the library or online. Have you seen my new Lake Erie Basin page? I've been all watersheds all the time for the past week or so. School is starting, though, so back to the grind.--Pat 05:33, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Presque Isle State Park map

Hi Dtbohrer, I added the PennDOT map back in to Presque Isle State Park as an inline reference. All 120 Pennsylvania state park articles have such maps, as well as other common features. I do plan to add them to all the county articles eventually too. Thanks, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 02:52, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

• No problemo, thanks for all your work on the article! Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:22, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
  • I think it is close to good article quality. You might want to look at Worlds End State Park, which is the only PA state park article that is currently GA (the List of Pennsylvania state parks is a featured list). I would try spreading the images around a bit (there are too many together at first, then the rest of the article has none) and work on switching to inline citations. There is also a website in "External links" listed as the official park website that is not from the PA DCNR (so it is not the official website, which is ref 1). It could probably be cited as a source, but I am not sure it meets WP:EL. Hope this helps, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 16:14, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Did you know

On 19 September 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Gudgeonville Covered Bridge , which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Please don't feed the vandals

User:Fran36's assignment of London PA to WQLN was no accident; the "editor" is a known vandal with several sockpuppets - this one was just the latest. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:14, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

USRD Inactivity check and news report

Hello, Dtbohrer. We had a few urgent matters to communicate to you:

1. Please update your information at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Participants, our new centralized participant list. Those who have not done so by October 20th will be removed.
2. There are important discussions taking place at WT:USRD relating to whether WP:USRD, WP:HWY, or the state projects should hold the "power" in the roads projects.
