User: Appraiser created this article on 7 December 2006 with the hopes of consolidating space on the main I-94 article. I took the liberty of moving the detail to individual state pages:
Interstate 94 in Montana Interstate 94 in North Dakota Interstate 94 in Minnesota Interstate 94 in Wisconsin Interstate 94 in Illinois Interstate 94 in Indiana Interstate 94 in Michigan
thus the interchange page is not necessary and IMHO should be deleted. I can notify Appraiser of such if necessary, but I wanted to get an opinion of a more experienced editor as well. (Not to say Appraiser isn't experienced? I don't know)
Since it was only linked to I-94, There wouldn't be a reason to bring it up to debate first IMHO.
Could you get back to me at your earliest convience - and I hope you had a good vacation. • master_sonLets talk 03:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey Rschen. A user, 512theking, has been uploading pictures stolen from state-ends.com and releasing them into the public domain as their author, which is most certainly not the case. I would not bring this up here except for the fact that this user is the same one as Albertotineo10 and Kingofpitching10, the former of which committed the same copyright violations. What should be done? --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 06:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
I did out of curiosity a study of the current infoboxes on all of the routes and found the following:
5 states use boxes that are not in any way tied to infobox road - meaning that they were independently built.
8 States more than likely don't use any infoboxes (not a big deal to me though)
All of the rest (including several states that have their own boxes - which are partly filled Infobox roads) use Infobox road. The concern I have with a state or two:
Anyhow - That's my two (hundred) cents. I brought this up since all of the browse boxes comply with WP:USRD now but if I tried to use it in certain places - problems may arise. Thanks in advance. • master_sonLets talk 00:41, 14 January 2007 (UTC) |

Hey. I recently added an infobox on the Utah State Route 68 page. Everything is well, except the image of the SR-68 shield doesn't show up. Instead, the normal gray background just stays there. Can you check the page to see if you have the same problem? Thanks - •The RSJ• Talk | Sign Here 04:10, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
How come you and that TMF guy talking about me stealing images. Listen i did you guys a great favor on a lot of Pennsylvania Highways that need help if you guys want to block me, be my guest. But next time say it in my talk page instead of talking to one of your friends about it first. What is this the Wiki:Police, don't make me laugh i'm leaving and never doing this again and by the way, i'm not albertotineo10 or the other guy. -- The King is done (512theking)
Just to let you know, User:512theking told User:Prisonbreak91 to pick up where he left off. Also, if you check 512theking's page, it says that 512theking quit and never coming back. This was just a heads-up if you didn't look yet. V60 VTalk - VDemolitions 05:26, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Update: I have yet identified two possible socks. 172.146.169.214 added "Can someone help me create road maps" (look here) and contributed to PA Route articles. 209.244.30.249 has added the "I QUIT AND NEVER COMING BACK!" line (look here) and also contributed to PA Route articles. Just a little bit more research on the page history. V60 VTalk - VDemolitions 04:27, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
My thanks to everyone for taking care of this issue. I've been busy lately, so I haven't been able to edit/monitor that much. Glad to see this is finally being resolved. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 04:17, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Effective immediately, I am blocking the following users and IPs for abusive sockpuppetry, trolling, image copyright violations, MOS problems, etc. With the exception of Prisonbreak10 and the IPs, all will be blocked indefinitely. The ones not blocked indefinitely will be blocked for 48 hours. However, with any further violations, the aforementioned accounts and any socks will be blocked indefinitely on sight. Let this serve as a final warning to the person behind all of these accounts:
If anyone has concerns regarding these blocks, please contact me on my talk page. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it sure is. Speaking of which, a vandal not related to ours vandalised my user page yesterday. Isn't that nice? V60 VTalk - VDemolitions 23:17, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

TMF and I are trying to fend off a violation of WP:NOR and possibly WP:VERIFY by an anon editor. The trouble is, that editor claims that he/she has been on the road frequently, but I said repeatedly that reliable sources are the content that can be on Wikipedia, and that original research is prohibited at all times. Since you are the "resident admin for WP:USRD", and tell him/her that original research is unacceptable, that would be great. V60 VTalk - VDemolitions 00:46, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Could you please unblock that user? It appears that he is not a vandal, although he is using the same IP as our's. Plus, by me saying those, it implies that he is not a sock of our vandal, either. It's just an AOL proxy that's confusing us. V60 VTalk - VDemolitions 03:01, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
New user: User:JohnnyAlbert10. Don't block him, though, since I told him to actually contribute, not vandalize. Give him an hour to not vandalize, then make the decision to block or not. V60 VTalk - VDemolitions 01:51, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
CELEBRATE!!! 512hteking is GROUNDED! V60 VTalk - VDemolitions 02:13, 5 February 2007 (UTC)—I am usually not this crazy, but the vandalism problem @ USRD is over!!!
Please don't block the new user. He will learn how to edit very well, just like I did in the early days of me contributing. This applies even though the new user's brother is the real vandal. V60 VTalk - VDemolitions 20:19, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

The recent edits by 68.127.37.6 on Interstate 630 have been rather disruptive and, as I see it, vandalism. I wouldn't have thought much of it the first time (detailed below) as I assumed a good-faith edit gone bad, but as of this second time, and after reading his talk page, I'm concerned and feel that action should be taken.

As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:
Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.
Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 04:52, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I am a member of the WP:CAL. The routes you have rated are on my Watchlist. I have contributed to them and have rated for our project. I would like to rate higher than B, Low but have guidance on this from a respected proect member on ratings. On articles of great importance to our project, I have rated up to B, Mid. This one should be that but not when stacked up against some of our other projects. Hope this helps. BTW, I added to U.S. Route 40 a source that gives great descriptions on our state routes/interstates Interstate 40. If you look at the top of the page, there is a box to type in a route number ala 68 which talks about our California State Route 68. Lots of great info. Ronbo76 03:42, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

The template that delivers the USRD has a missing </small> tag that is wreaking havoc with my talkpage, probably others as well, and it looks like yours too. That should probably be fixed... Its right before your signature. When the tag is left unclosed, it propagates through the whole page. Just thought you should know, and can fix it before the next issue.

I don't think you meant to say "The infobox should use either the official name of the road which is not necessarily the same as the article title." That's an incomplete sentence, and I'm not sure exactly what's meant by it. There are some infoboxes that don't use the "official" name, such as New York State Route 15. I screwed that sentence up too though; sorry. --NE2 05:00, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
