[edit] Washington
While you were gone the WP:WASH fell apart. One new editor has been editing those pages, but has not been adhering to standards. Currently Washington is the 40th best state in terms of article quality (not great!) I've been tied up with California and other USRD matters and have ignored it. If you are interested, you might want to assist the project. --Rschen7754 (T C) 01:12, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Email
I have sent you an email. --Rschen7754 (T C) 05:29, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] New Jersey
As Rschen updated Washington for you. New Jersey's been pretty dead. Other than NJ 18 and NJ 33, not much has changed. Most articles are still in desperate need of work. I would do more work on it, but for some reason, NY urks me more. Welcome back btw. Mitch32contribs 14:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Washington 12
I created the shield for WA-12.

[edit] List of state highways in Washington
Please do not put comments on my user's talk page. You make me feelin' upset. I am just fixing the redirects into the correct main articles. Steam5 (talk) 22:47, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 1937 laws
This may help. --NE2 20:22, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
[1] and [2] may also help, though not as much as would be nice. --NE2 09:40, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
The 1970 report at [3] has maps that should be useful. --NE2 07:25, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
I completed Wikipedia:WikiProject Washington State Highways/When each route was added to the state highway system. Except for SR 31 and the Cascade Wagon Road, I am pretty sure about everything before 1950. After 1950, however, Google doesn't have all the laws scanned, so those changes won't be as precise. Wikipedia:WikiProject Washington State Highways/List of laws links to the text of most of the laws where available; 1961 includes a full list of routes at the time. --NE2 20:15, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Would you happen to be near a library that will have these post-1950 laws, and would be willing to transcribe, scan, or photograph them? That way we'll have the entire legislative history for all routes. --NE2 23:59, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
How does the new SR 509 map look? --NE2 02:13, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] IFD blanking
Eeeek, thanks for spotting that. I guess Twinkle went mad. Sorry for the inconvenience ... richi (talk) 11:15, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] US 410
I've confirmed that the US 410 to US 12 change was in late 1967: Talk:Washington State Route 410. Apparently AASHO approved it in June, but signs were changed in December. If you're going to cite one, I recommend the December 27 article.
Unfortunately I could find nothing about the US 830 change except for one mention in February 1968 that says it was part of the same changes. It's definitely possible that it was and yet happened in early 1968, if the signs were changed in two phases. I would assume that AASHO approved both changes at their June 1967 meeting, but again I haven't found anything definite. --NE2 15:18, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy deletion of Template:3dwa 31
A tag has been placed on Template:3dwa 31 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).
Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 04:36, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Edit summaries
Please do not use [4] edit summaries - if you do so repeatedly, you will be blocked by an uninvolved administrator for disruption. --Rschen7754 (T C) 02:54, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Decommission
Mind looking at Talk:List of road-related terminology#Decommission? Thank you. --NE2 21:16, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, you could ignore it and write some articles; I should be able to help with the history of any Washington highways. --NE2 06:09, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
What I've used in California, for instance for SR 160 (references 15-16, 20-22, etc.), is enough to find the relevant law. I made a template to help so I didn't have to type out the title of the more common laws every time, but that's not necessary (although it is probably good if the format needs to be changed). --NE2 06:28, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Talks have broken down... --NE2 22:29, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Template:3dwa 12
The only SR 120 was a spur of the pre-1967 SR 12; should that not appear in any template? --NE2 01:34, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Lengths
See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Washington State Highways#Lengths. Basically WSDOT adds 0.01 at each "physical gap" where the route "exits itself" (like US 12 at SR 8) so there aren't two separate points with the same ARM. --NE2 07:04, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Citations in the lead of an article
I've opened a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Roads#Citations in the lead of an article — master sonT - C 23:05, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

On 26 March 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article U.S. Route 12 in Washington, 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. |

[edit] California postmile
From this source the computer has warn me about clicking on the blue link which might harm my personal computer. I just avoid it becasue I don't understand the message,and once I download, I can get hoax by my computer being crash. Actually when you click those links don't you get messages say"Some files may harm your computer", If I get this message, what suppose I do to avoid crashing my computer?--Freewayguy (talk) 03:32, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
[Milepost] "Each profile breakpoint is identified by the milepost value corresponding to that point on the highway. The milepost values increase from the beginning of a route within a count to the next county line. The milepost values start over again at each county line. Milepost values usually increase from south to north or west to east depending upon the general direction the route follows within the state. The milepost at a given location will remain the same year after year. When a section of road is relocated, new milepost (usually noted by an alphabetical prefix such as "R" or "M") are established for it. If relocation results in a change in length, "milepost equations" are introduced at the end of each relocated portion so that mileposts on the reminder of the route within the county will remain unchanged."
I meant the purple link from that site, when I click on it it gives me a note telling me some files may harm computer, so I'm afraid to see it becasue I don't know the file. If I get those messages what should I do so they wont harm my computer.--Freewayguy (talk) 03:39, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Because I don't know where you live, and I don't know if you ever been to California before, I thouhgt you have been there.--Freewayguy (talk) 03:43, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] St. Louis County Road 7
The AFD for St. Louis County Road 7 has closed as a merge result. Nyttend (talk) 14:00, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Leaderboard
I just wanted to let you know that I did an intermediate update for the Leaderboard. NY 174 passed FA today, so NY was updated. MI has no more stub articles, so that was updated as well. Today's newsletter day, so the leaderboard needs an update again for the rest of the states for the newsletter. Imzadi1979 (talk) 03:41, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] County roads in St. Louis County, Minnesota
Not that I like articles on roads much but... Good job in merging the individual roads into County roads in St. Louis County, Minnesota! Enjoy! - Nabla (talk) 18:40, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] M-35 ACR
Thanks for sticking it out with me. It is appreciated. :-) Imzadi1979 (talk) 20:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for closing it out. It feels good to have that concluded. Next stop: FAC! Imzadi1979 (talk) 21:18, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] History of state highways in Washington
I have created a sandbox version of the article and I invite you to edit it and approve it. You may also move it if you would like. The article is entitled User:ComputerGuy890100/Sandbox/WA SR HIST. — ComputerGuy890100Talk to meWhat I've done to help Wikipedia 03:07, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] ID-41
Because History isn't complete enough to justify being counted as "being present", in my opinion. Yes, there is a history, but the first two sentences are merely route description details, and the other two are really about the history of US-2 and WA-41, only tangentially related to ID-41 itself. Even disregarding that, the history section presently only covers a single realignment that happened in 1997 and covers nothing about the early history of ID-41 (such as when it was commissioned and any other major realignments since then). Thus, I don't feel that it falls below the bar set to consider the History section ticked off the checklist, and thus the article isn't up to the B-Class standard. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 20:30, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, so it does redirect. The inclusion of that information makes more sense now.—Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 20:43, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Old PSH Maps
We need a better map for PSH 1 and maps for PSH 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, and 22. If you could, please do these when you have time. Thanks. — ComputerGuy890100Talk to meWhat I've done to help Wikipedia 17:38, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] I-10/I-20 in Texas
Neither article was hitting the template limits as I was seeing everything fine. I even checked multiple browsers (Firefox, IE, Safari) to see if there was an issue there, but they displayed fine there as well. Not sure what problem you were seeing. --Holderca1 talk 21:08, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] SR 153
I replied on Talk:Rainbow Boulevard (Las Vegas). --NE2 15:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- By the way, if this was for User:Kéiryn/Unwritten, Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Nevada/completion list should have a full list of routes that have existed, with all three-digit routes marked former if so. Those with shields actually exist; those with FAU/FAS/SAR labels do not; I count 17 current routes without articles (787 was left out). I am currently working on a better list for article space. --NE2 15:31, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Washington infoboxes
I was only curious. MD has a specialized infobox too. I know that {{infobox road}} can handle the law links and things, but if there's specialized numbering issues in WA, then that's understandable. The thing that's odd to me is that the spur of I-5 is up top where in other states' infobox it's down below the junctions. Imzadi1979 (talk) 03:06, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- P.S. If you have any comments to add at the M-35 FAC, they'd be appreciated. Imzadi1979 (talk) 03:07, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] USRD participants list
As discussed at WT:USRD, the participants list at WP:USRD is being split by state. Due to any of the following factors- your extended participation in WT:USRD discussions, your IRC participation, or your extended participation in Shields or Maps, I have guessed that you are a nationwide editor and have designated you as such in the USRD partiicpants table. This is part of the lengthy process. If this is in error, please let me know immediately. This is especially likely with this group as I have to guess whether you are a national or a state editor.

[edit] Re: Cite Map
Greetings. This change was actually intentional, to bring it in line with the format most of the other citation templates use (aside from Cite news, off the top of my head). Aside from this, have you found any problems? Why is this item a concern? Just curious. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 22:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
