Is that number still correct? I was managing stubs yesterday and we might have more than that. -- Rschen7754 ( talk - contribs) 20:37, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Because there is no portal for roads but only for US roads, I want to ask here: I would be thankful, if the road specialists could have a look here: Portal talk:Transport#Headline of the netherlands motorways are all wrong Thank you -- 84.132.101.93 10:18, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
In the early morning of September 21, I moved this page to Portal:North American Roads and enlarged the scope. (The portal currently reflects the expansion, despite the name.) My thought process was sparked by Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Roads#Possible "news" page?, where I was told that the portal needed a "steady maintainer". With the interconnectedness of North American roads, it seemed like a logical move. As other editors (presumably) woke up, they objected, and Rschen7754 started moving pages back in preparation to split. That explains the present state, left as a "compromise" to stop the threat of an edit war. -- NE2 23:42, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
There seem to be three options:
Please discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each below:
I think that consensus should be pretty clear now. I'll move the portal over the next few days. -- Rschen7754 ( T C) 00:09, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Here's a discussion about subject development you might find interesting.

Just my $0.08 for today. Imzadi1979 ( talk) 18:31, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Know that WPUS is up and running and the US Wikipedian's collaboration is rebuilt, I wanted to focus on cleaning up and revamping Portal:United States. Per a comment on the talk page I have added this portal to the list of US related portals.
I was also wondering if anyone would be interested in adding a Selected article related to the US roads to the list of featured articles. If not perhaps you could suggest one and I will add it? -- Kumioko ( talk) 17:03, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
All right, who did the Portland joke? That's the best material I've ever seen on here. :) — Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 13:47, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Portal talk:Molecular and Cellular Biology which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 07:30, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:48, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Portal talk:Canada Roads which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 14:45, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved per consensus, and per MOS:CAPS. Consistency with other wikiproject/portal titles, by following MOS:CAPS. The sole opposer did not provide any logical rationale, nor any policy. —usernamekiran (talk) 17:55, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
– Case fix per MOS:CAPS since these titles show up in article space. Per precedents at Portal:Canada Roads and Portal:Civil rights movement, and the vast majority of portal titles that already conform to MOS:CAPS. Support as nom, obviously. Dicklyon ( talk) 04:37, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
@ Usernamekiran and Dicklyon: there's still outstanding questions left to be resolved, "U.S." vs. "US" vs. "United States", so it's a bit premature to start moving anything just yet since it would be highly disruptive to move things multiple times. Imzadi 1979 → 20:01, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Portal:North American Roads. Please participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Legacypac ( talk) 19:18, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
Does every road in America deserve an article? People go crazy over notability for people. Does it apply to what roads are important and those that are not? Eschoryii ( talk) 08:50, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
On January 23, 1818, President James Monroe issued a list of information on "roads made, or in progress, under the authority of the Executive of the United States" [1] that describes--perhaps loosely--the precursors to the American highway system, or at least, Federally-built roads. I can't seem to find a good place for this data, any thoughts on where it could be useful? Wrecksdart ( talk) 14:57, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
