[edit] State navigation

May I ask why the state navigation states that the previous state is Nevada? I'm definitely sure to say that US 395 ends in California... somewhere in Hesperia. Can't we use two templates for this kind of situation? ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 17:15, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

We could, but would there be a point? I'm not sure. --NE2 00:07, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
I almost think you have to use two boxes. Otherwise the Nevada navigation box would say Oregon for the next state, which is equally not correct.Davemeistermoab (talk) 05:08, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
FYI, there seems to be precedent for using two info boxes. For example James Monroe (governor of Virginia twice) and Grover Cleveland (President of the US twice).Davemeistermoab (talk) 17:24, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
I think the Grover Cleavland is the better example as there is one president between both his two terms. It does what NE is proposing for the Nevada article, have California as both previous and next. Davemeistermoab (talk) 00:42, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
What's an NE? ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 01:18, 1 February 2008 (UTC)My question was already answered on Talk:U.S. Route 395 in Nevada. ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 02:42, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Postmile

Also, the message below...

:Note: Except where prefixed with a letter, postmiles were measured in 1964, based on the alignment as it existed at that time, and do not necessarily reflect current mileage. The numbers reset at county lines; the start and end postmiles in each county are given in the county column.

...can this be converted to a template to make things a little easier to include for other California highways? ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 17:20, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

It's not always going to be the same; for instance the one on SR 160 mentions it was partly SR 84. --NE2 15:03, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Been there many times. That's a view area on the southern descent from Conway Summit overlooking Mono Lake. Davemeistermoab (talk) 22:29, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

If you are working on the notes, does that mean you plan to rewrite the history of the article US 395? ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 01:48, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Not currently. --NE2 03:01, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
