Fredddie:
Some time back we briefly touched this subject that I am about to tell you about now, but we were, as I recall, on another matter and never got to work on this. It has to do with the fact that a large number of Puerto Rico roads do not have shields that coincide with the network (primary, urban primary, secondary, tertiary) they belong to. (I may have -partly- contributed to this myself when I provided you with information that was only partly correct (but which was all that was available to me at the moment)).
Please see HERE for a description of how this problem affects the development fo PR road articles.
BTW, if this is not the place for this discussion, please let me know where to take it and I will gladly take it there. Thanks. Mercy11 ( talk) 03:26, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
The article Circular highway shield has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}

Hi Freddie. Your FAC was just closed as no consensus (ie not enough people commented... a sad but somewhat common problem at FAC), and the rules state that you can't renominate it for two weeks. However, if/when you do, please leave me a message so I can support the article again. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 00:48, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Can you please help me to understand why in an encyclopedia you would delete historical information that was correctly stated and properly referenced.

Thor, Iowa I do not accept your summary about not being in service for 30 years. I think there are whole articles about other roads that are no longer in existence, for example the roads used by the
Romans and other ancient civilizations. These smaller towns starve for relevant information. I see by your contributions that you are a major contributor to Wikipedia and I wish to thank you for your work, even if on this one issue I may disagree. At this time I have not changed those edits of yours and hope you see my point and make the corrections yourself. I also noticed all the cleanup you did on convert templates and again want to thank you. BTW I left an invite for you to join the Communities Division of Project Iowa back in December, I hope you will reconsider and join. I also patrol all Iowa Communities.

Hi. I have noticed you have made many of the black and white County Highway signs for Minnesota. Would you mind also creating a set of Inter-county Highway signs? If you haven't seen them they look just like the square black and white County Highway signs, but instead of county_name / route_number / COUNTY as text, they say INTER- / COUNTY / route_letter and are blue and gold like the pentagonal M1-6 shield for County Highways. I know of "Inter-county J" which is Mille Lac County Highway 20, "Inter-county D" is near North Branch, Minnesota, "Inter-county G" near Stanchfield, Minnesota, and "Inter-county B" through Hackensack, Minnesota. Google search shows an "Inter-county E", which is Todd County Highway 14, near Browerville, Minnesota. But as I don't know if there is a list somewhere of these Inter-county Highways, I don't know what the highest letter is. Thanks. CJLippert ( talk) 22:14, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

So I found an older (2006) article that should have been put under MI project long ago. The article is in good shape, and I'm playing the WP:IAR card and omitting a RJL from it for now since it's essentially a road that loops back on itself. (I might try to find the sources to use the scenic lookout points as "junctions" in the future to make a similar table.) The article could use a marker graphic, based on the sign here. As for the Logo on the sign, we have File:US-NationalParkService-ShadedLogo.svg. I wouldn't need the arrow, just the signboard itself. No rush on this one, so whenever this year is cool. Imzadi 1979 → 10:06, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you! I'm also using QGIS, along with shapefiles from the RIGIS database. I just downloaded Inkscape so I can save the PNG images exported from QGIS as SVG. How are you cleaning up the images in inkscape? When I tried to follow the instructions for modifying the png in this tutorial, the image quality was greatly reduced. Also, when I export directly to SVG from QGIS, the resulting file is so large that my computer freezes when I try to open it in inkscape to refine it (as described here). -- Schzmo ( talk) 18:18, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

In this archived discussion it is claimed that, in this other archived discussion, "the consensus has been to avoid geocoding the articles until a satisfactory way to display the coordinates without cluttering the articles is found.". I wonder whether, as a participant in the latter discussion, you could kindly say whether or not that was your conclusion at its end, and if so, on what grounds? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 20:54, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
The way I read the WP:HWY link, a number of editors, myself included, support the addition of geospatial information in some fashion. My concern then, and I still hold it, is that it has to be done right.
The Infobox road link, my take is that the infobox is supposed to be a summary of the article, so coordinates wouldn't be a good place for them there. Yes, I'm aware that many, many infoboxes have coordinates already.
In the past, I warmed up to the idea of adding coordinates as an inline reference at certain junctions with the {{ coord}} and {{ kml}} templates listed directly below the junction list ( example). This would essentially render the clutter argument moot. But, since I've been shown the {{ Osmrelation}} template, I prefer that method. But things may change.
The underlying theme in both links, plus the current "discussions" in the various forums, is that when you start pointing fingers and don't work together, bad things happen. As we've seen, combative attitudes and statements lead to pissing matches. Instead of citing WP:OWN and WP:IDONTLIKEIT at every opportune moment, try to work with us roads editors. Instead of trying to find a unanimous vote from three years ago, just assume good faith that we all want to improve the encyclopedia and work here in the present. Yes, I know the roads editors haven't been saints, either. A little tact on both sides goes a long way.
If we can drop all of the crap that's happened, we CAN come up with a solution. I want to, but I don't want to work with someone who won't compromise. That's why I bowed out of the other discussions. – Fredddie ™ 23:27, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I have noticed you have made many of the black and white County Highway signs for Minnesota. Would you mind also creating a set of Inter-county Highway signs? If you haven't seen them they look just like the square black and white County Highway signs, but instead of county_name / route_number / COUNTY as text, they say INTER- / COUNTY / route_letter and are blue and gold like the pentagonal M1-6 shield for County Highways. I know of "Inter-county J" which is Mille Lac County Highway 20, "Inter-county D" is near North Branch, Minnesota, "Inter-county G" near Stanchfield, Minnesota, and "Inter-county B" through Hackensack, Minnesota. Google search shows an "Inter-county E", which is Todd County Highway 14, near Browerville, Minnesota.

About the name of NM 528 in Rio Rancho, Rio Rancho Boulevard is the previous name of the road before it was renamed to Pat D'Arco Highway in 2007. However, many maps and addresses continue to refer to it by that name. ANDROS1337 TALK 16:56, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations! |
Thanks for all the work you did in making
Interstate 74 in Iowa a certified "Good Article"! Your work is much appreciated.
In the spirit of celebration, you may wish to review one of the Good Article nominees that someone else nominated, as there is currently a backlog, and any help is appreciated. All the best, – Quadell ( talk) |

Thank you! I'm also using QGIS, along with shapefiles from the RIGIS database. I just downloaded Inkscape so I can save the PNG images exported from QGIS as SVG. How are you cleaning up the images in inkscape? When I tried to follow the instructions for modifying the png in this tutorial, the image quality was greatly reduced. Also, when I export directly to SVG from QGIS, the resulting file is so large that my computer freezes when I try to open it in inkscape to refine it (as described here). -- Schzmo ( talk) 18:18, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I just happened upon your user page today and I noticed that it was your birthday yesterday! So happy belated birthday! :D Theking 17825 05:10, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
In this archived discussion it is claimed that, in this other archived discussion, "the consensus has been to avoid geocoding the articles until a satisfactory way to display the coordinates without cluttering the articles is found.". I wonder whether, as a participant in the latter discussion, you could kindly say whether or not that was your conclusion at its end, and if so, on what grounds?

The way I read the WP:HWY link, a number of editors, myself included, support the addition of geospatial information in some fashion. My concern then, and I still hold it, is that it has to be done right.
The Infobox road link, my take is that the infobox is supposed to be a summary of the article, so coordinates wouldn't be a good place for them there. Yes, I'm aware that many, many infoboxes have coordinates already.
In the past, I warmed up to the idea of adding coordinates as an inline reference at certain junctions with the {{ coord}} and {{ kml}} templates listed directly below the junction list ( example). This would essentially render the clutter argument moot. But, since I've been shown the {{ Osmrelation}} template, I prefer that method. But things may change.
The underlying theme in both links, plus the current "discussions" in the various forums, is that when you start pointing fingers and don't work together, bad things happen. As we've seen, combative attitudes and statements lead to pissing matches. Instead of citing WP:OWN and WP:IDONTLIKEIT at every opportune moment, try to work with us roads editors. Instead of trying to find a unanimous vote from three years ago, just assume good faith that we all want to improve the encyclopedia and work here in the present. Yes, I know the roads editors haven't been saints, either. A little tact on both sides goes a long way.
If we can drop all of the crap that's happened, we CAN come up with a solution. I want to, but I don't want to work with someone who won't compromise. That's why I bowed out of the other discussions. – Fredddie ™ 23:27, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Fredddie. I reviewed the article you nominated at GAN, and you can find my comments here. Nice work; just a few little things to wrap up, and you are all set. -- Starstriker7( Talk) 08:27, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Former state highways in South Dakota, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Murdo ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
