Said page says "Be careful about citing this principle too aggressively", which is good advice. It's clear there's an axe being ground to an atomic level here with regards to highway content, at the expense of numerous other policies on sourcing, decorum, and notability.

Thanks to a certain tagging spree, I think I would be better off using my limited time to rescue articles rather than argue a point over and over. Productive editing is the best kind of editing. SounderBruce20:31, 24 June 2023 (UTC)reply

Plenty of active wikiprojects and none of them have anything to lose by pushing back. I've edited in almost all of the major "controversial" topic areas and in many of the most active ones as well. Why does roads behave differently?

If you don’t want to be called a jackass, either stop doing things that will make other people want to call you a jackass, or move on- it’s never a good look when you respond to criticism with ‘Mommy, they called me a bad word!’

That is simply not how wikipedia works, civility is not just expected it is required. I notice you haven't edited since the 16th, can I ask how you became aware of this hot topic conversation?

FWIW, it's replies like this that make the roads community think you're a jackass. "My behavior is unimpeachable, I don't know why you won't do what I want." –

In other communities instead of calling me a jackass they would try to find the sources to satisfy our notability requirements and if they couldn't then they would delete it on their own. Most of y'all are just standing around yelling at me instead of trying to find enough coverage to get Wyoming Highway 76 over the bar. I give SounderBruce high marks for trying, I just wish they understood how
WP:GNG works and tilted at windmills less. Note that roads editors have attempted to get the community to impeach my behavior a few times, the result has consistently been community endorsement of that behavior.

Does that have anything to do with improving Wyoming Highway 76? Remember all you have to do to make me go away is demonstrate notability and then *poof* I disappear because I have no axe to grind I just want to improve wikipedia.
