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,

USRD Inactivity check and news report
Hello, Imzadi1979. We had a few urgent matters to communicate to you:
- 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.
- 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.

Exit lists
You should see WP:ELG. --NE2 06:14, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- The exit list guide is a guideline that applies to all exit lists, whether or not another project claims to own the article. --NE2 06:28, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- unfortantly you are wrong here NE. this is a direct quote off the top of the page, However, it is not set in stone and should be treated with common sense and the occasional exception so if a state decides it wants color and it is not a US or Interstate road then guess what the state wins. --Mihsfbstadium 06:50, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- In a word: no. You need a reason to ignore it, not just a desire to "win". --NE2 06:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- Okay maybe you didnt catch it. This is a STATE HIGHWAY not a US Interstate or US Highway. As such it follows the procedures of the State Project which just happens to be Michigan. As a result you follow that states procedures for exit lists and intersections. If for some reason you dont agree take it up to US Road and we can debate it there. But last time I checked the State Projects had ownership in how they present their articles. Thats why we have projects otherwise their would be no set presentation. As for the reason for the state projects its to provide an ability to allow minor differences in the states to be set and not be exceptions nationwide. Otherwise their would be no reason for state projects. As for some differences I can recall the debate about naming articles as the biggest one. Michigan has used the same names and did not change when the other states did change. --Mihsfbstadium 07:06, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- Michigan's naming is fine; WP:USSH includes it. The exit list guide applies to all exit lists - whether Interstates, U.S. Highways, other state highways, or other countries' roads. --NE2 07:23, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- Imzadi1979, apologies for using your talk page for this; I'm moving it to WT:ELG. Mihsfbstadium, please follow. --NE2 07:25, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
