I've used NewsBank too many times to go back and link. Since I'm one of the few fortunate ones, I was told it was pointless. As for this SPS, somewhere I got the idea that these were official pages for the projects concerned and that he was an expert. But if I start being skeptical, I will find information online that I feel needs to be here because I was looking for it and it wasn't here. And Wikipedia won't benefit if I'm scared to do anything. I do know about vanity presses. My grandfather used one. He ran out of books but his needed updating. I had the time and the education. But I always told people not to consider the book reliable, but look at the sources if they're shown. I made a lot of mistakes, though I corrected many of my grandfather's previous mistakes. But not all. And I used his reference formatting, which wasn't all that helpful.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 21:07, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

If you click over to the articles for LA 3 and LA 33, you will see that these routes are split in half. It's pretty weird, considering you have segments of highways that were never meant to be. LA 3 was fine, with it following the Monroe-Baton Rouge highway, but LA 33 was originally meant to be constructed, but the middle segment along the Lake Pontchartrain was cancelled. LA 49 is shown in some maps as connecting, in some as missing, and in the final 1955 maps (the year of the renumbering) as the south segment ending about a mile south of the Old River, and the north segment beginning in a small community. Is it normal to just split the segments, like done in LA 3, or talk about the route as a collective whole? Mcdonaat 00:46, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

I see you're back at work. I talked to the man at the North Carolina Department of Transportation and he doesn't seem to think there is anything that will help us.

I wish you wouldn't archive so fast. I thought I was posting here often enough,. I stopped by the office of the man I talked to last week. He said he passed the information along to the person he thought could help me, but he did wonder why I seemed to expect him to drop everything and spend time on this. I explained the idea was people would be able to find all this information and know it was right, though I never used the word Wikipedia. I was afraid he might think that made it less important. Anyway, that's our major obstacle. I had seen links to the NCDOT web site used as sources, but I don't know how one finds information there. He didn't succeed in finding anything while I was there. But I'm back at the library and working on another set of newspaper articles where I'm sure information can be found.

I did find a helpful newspaper article about a major project near where I live; an article like this is what we need on I-73 but there just hasn't been one. I don't recall whether you've had any involvement in the coverage of this project in Wikipedia. But it pointed out an error in all the news coverage. I always suspected this might be an error because there was no interstate highway system at the time, and I had meant to ask the NCDOT man about it, though it wasn't his division. I also meant to ask in the county's history room but wouldn't have known how to do the research. But the article stated the facts. So an error that has been in every single newspaper article is now corrected in Wikipedia, with all the background information on this project that I had been unaware of. And you know this man is reliable: "Walter R. Turner is historian at the North Carolina Transportation Museum and author of Paving Tobacco Road, A Century of Progress by the North Carolina Department of Transportation."— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 17:49, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Just a random question... Louisiana's older routes (slowly progressing, with junction lists and even a map or two) sometimes ended at the state line with Mississippi, Arkansas, or Texas. I know Arkansas' shields are uploaded to Commons, and some for Texas. Mississippi's release of the shield designs is forthcoming, so is there any way possible to allow junction templates to show the older shields?

Perhaps you can help me with a small issue I've run into. I'm trying to add a KML file to Interstate 235 (Oklahoma), but when I created the template I forgot to run it through the text editor first, so I accidentally created the template with Interstate 240 (Oklahoma)'s KML file (the previous one I copy/pasted). After realizing my mistake and correcting it, I'm trying to add the KML to the actual article. Bing's KML comes out correctly, but Google's shows the route map for Interstate 240.

Imzadi1979, I noticed that you deleted an additional source for the sister cities section because one source is enough. You're absolutely right. I added the second one because I anticipated having to correct that section in the future. I have had to delete inaccurate extra sister cities in that section in the past; in fact, one of them was the same city. Last time, it turned out that it was a sockpuppet (Webster6) who added the untrue information. This time it is Irvi Hyka, who is currently temporarily blocked.

December 12 - save the date. I'm about to port the I-49 page over to my sandbox and construct a Missouri exit list. MoDOT is working on sending me an exit list, with mileage information, for I-49, which will be designated December 12 at noon. They are also sending over department photos for us to freely use, which should beef up the page considerably. I'm also attempting to get the I-49 exit list for Louisiana north of I-220, but that seems to have hit a road block. Hopefully, after a few days, I should have enough information to be able to split I-49 into a Louisiana page and a Missouri page. Any tips before I proceed?
P.S. - I have a milepoint list for I-49 in Louisiana, from I-10 to I-20. Working on adding that information into the I-49 main page before Tuesday. ' Mcdonaat → 04:14, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Greetings, Imzadi, Thanks for cleaning things up in the article I created. Actually, in most Israeli highway articles, we're in the habit of abbreviating St., Rd. & Blvd. in the junction list. Right now, until the junction names are put in, widening the table, I guess there is plenty of room to spell out Road, Street and Boulevard. As you know, Israeli junction lists do not exactly follow the same guidelines of other countries' lists. You once said that "...article should not contain Hebrew in any instances where an English translation is available". Well, our highway signs rarely have English translations. Rather they have transliterations. מחלף שבעת הכוכבים does not appear on our highway signs as The Seven Stars Interchange, but as Shiv'at HaKochavim Interchange! That's why we prefer to include a column for translations of the junction names. In fact, there are some instances of junctions also having Arabic names which differ from the Hebrew names, especially in the West Bank. If we start including those and translating the transliterations, well, the tables might just get so wide as to create bothersome wrap-arounds! I get dizzy just thinking about it! Which leads me back to the issue of abbreviations. Sometimes space becomes an problem. Later on, if the table becomes too wide to comfortably include photos down the right side, I hope you don't mind if I revert to abbreviations. By the way, you may have noticed that a speedy deletion tag was placed on the page. I hope to rectify that situation in the next few days by adding some stuff as per a discussion I had with the user who placed the tag. One other thing: I once had a discussion with you and Floydian about upgrading the assessment of Highway 20. I haven't forgotten about it. It's on my to-do list!

Apart from some clearing and fencing, no actual construction has actually begun. Here in Jerusalem, the next stage may not begin for many years, if ever!. Is there another way to signify "planned" rather thatn "UC"? Regards, -- @Efrat ( talk) 17:38, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Since you decided to remove my post (without even trying to answer me), I will ask you directly:
I know that Wikipedia is not a forum, but I was curious. What road (in the US and, possibly, the world) has the most intersections/junctions/interchanges with the same roadway. I'm sure that it is either a business route (and mainline route) or a route that was bypassed by another route (such as the former routing of U.S. 91 and I-15. Current and former (and possibly even future) routes are admissible.
By the way, what is the updated information on the WikiCup?

Thank you for the fixes you applied to the above article.
Having said that, one word on your comment about more references: The vast majority of the detailed info for the RD, as well as the exact info for the mile posts, comes from the personal geodatabase files referenced as Reference 1. Because that data is in the form of massive shapefiles and MS Access database files, and those files are all located at the same site, I don't think that duplicating references makes any sense, and may just confuse instead. In other words - that one reference contains 80-90% of the info used in those areas. I would compare this to using one authoritative book for an article - except that in that case, I would reference different page numbers, which is not possible in the case of this shapefile/database repository.
Is this article fairly rated as a C - when I have seen some Bs and Cs that pale in comparison? No. Do I really care? No. What you see is the result of many hours of careful, detailed research, supported with references allowing a user to follow my trail - I am not here to compete for ratings.

I am not clear how the Talk section works.
I posted a comment on Alansohn's Talk page. He responded with some comments that showed up on my Talk page. I then went into my Talk page and edited it with comments in response to his comments.
However, when I go to Alansohn's Talk page, I do not see his original comments in response to me and I do not see my follow-up comments in response to him. Why is that?
Is he receiving my follow-up comments so that he can respond to them?

Hey Imzadi, I drove along M-95 today on my way to mid-Wisconsin. The only railroad crossing is a defunct track in Channing that they use to store unneeded railroad cars (I've only had to stop there once ... where they had problems with their air brakes, and I was stuck for a half hour).

Hey have you ever heard of the "Saginaw Military Road". I found a pamphlet from Genesee County Road Commission that says "The first road in Genesee County was a trail cut from Saginaw to Flint by detachments of the Third United States Infantry in the winter of 1822-1823. It was called the Saginaw Military Road though it was little more than a bridle path." I'm guessing it's now part of the Saginaw Trail but there's no historical maps or anything in the pamphlet. Thoughts? TomCat4680 ( talk) 19:44, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
I replaced the current source for the website page for National Register of Historic Places with the alternate link below in the same website. I did this to make it easier for users to quickly find the cited item on the Historic Places website. You put back in the current source.
I updated website link below to make it easier for users to quickly find the cited item since it is NOT listed under Pulaski Skyway and it will NOT be found on the site if a user does a general search with 05000880.
It took make me several frustrating attempts to figure out how to finally find Pulaski Highway on the National Register Site based on the current source. At one point, I was even considering contacting the Historic Register Site to ask if they had it listed in their database.
Is there any reason why the updated source info below cannot be used?
U.S. National Register of Historic Places Search for "05000880" in Reference Number entry. Listed as Route 1 Extension, which also includes Pulaski Skyway. Retrieved March 8, 2013. Wondering55 ( talk) 04:39, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

I believe that all listed revisions, which I made on 20:58 on March 12, are justified based on the reasons below. I hope that once you review the reasons that you will agree they can be included. I would like to try and work to resolve this between ourselves.
1. Addition of a second citation, ref name="NJDOT1", which is already used multiple times in the article, for number of spans (118) for Pulaski Skyway
It is better to have more than 1 citation for an item (number of spans) that has been questioned and reported differently in the past. The current citation is a presentation by an outside engineering company, who was working with NJDOT, to a Historic Sites Council Meeting in 2010 about what was being considered for rehabilitation of the Pulaski Skyway.
The scope of work may or may not have been changed between then and 2013. The NJDOT Jan. 2013 press release, which was referenced by ref name="NJDOT1", clearly states the number of spans is 118. So, now you have left in a 59 page technical slide presentation from 2010, which uninitiated users have to figure out where to find the reference to 118 spans. You reverted a one page 2013 NJDOT press release, which is more authoritative than the current citation since they own the Pulaski Skyway and maintain it, that readily lets users know there are 118 spans.
My recommendation is to keep in both citations, both of which I found on my own for citing the number of spans:
a) ref name="NJDOT1" - The most recent official NJ DOT authoritative citation.
b) Current Parsons presentation citation - Engineering back-up to the NJ DOT authoritative citation. It also has other useful engineering information for readers about the rehabilitation work.
2. Changing the note for the alternate NRHP citation.
As you must be aware since I notified you about this issue, the NRHP project team, who has oversight over the way NRHP citations are presented, approved my note below for inclusion with the alternate format of the NRHP citation, which I developed.
Search for Reference Number "05000880". Pulaski Skyway is a contributing property to the listed “Route 1 Extension”.
Yet, you decided not to allow it. That is not acceptable. It should be changed back, unless you want to reopen this issue with the NRHP project team
3. Typo error
It currently states:
The Skyway way built as part of the Route 1 Extension
I corrected it and then you deleted the bold highlighted correction:
The Skyway was built as part of the Route 1 Extension
4. Clarification of Statement
Current article states:
"The Skyway was built as part of the Route 1 Extension and sources differ on inclusion of that project in the Pulaski Skyway."
I modified it and then you deleted the bold highlighted section that more accurately reflects what has happened:
"The Skyway was built as part of the Route 1 Extension and sources differ on the start and end points for inclusion of the Pulaski Skyway in that project."
In fact, all of the supporting statements that follow reflect the differences that others report on start and end points of the Pulaski Skyway and therefore the actual length of the Pulaski Skyway. There is no cited statement that raised any question about whether the Route 1 Extension project was included in the Pulaski Skyway.
4. Clarification of Statement
Current article states:
"The turnpike had to be built low enough to provide enough clearance underneath the skyway, but high enough to clear the nearby Passaic River."
I modified it and then you deleted the bold highlighted section that more accurately reflects what has happened:
"The turnpike had to be built low enough to provide enough clearance underneath the skyway, but high enough to provide enough clearance over the nearby Passaic River."
There was never a question at the time the NJ turnpike was built about whether the NJ Turnpike would "clear" the Passaic River. Technically, the NJ Turnpike could "clear" the Passaic River if it was only 10 feet above the river at high tide. The sole question at that time was if the NJ turnpike clearance would be high enough for its bridge, which would be built after passing the skyway, above the Passaic River to allow for river traffic. Obviously, this river clearance would be lower if the turnpike went under the Pulaski Skyway instead of over it. They decided to go under the skyway to save money and live with the lower clearance, which required a compromise on whether the turnpike bridge was high enough, over the Passaic River.
The current article statement does NOT reflect the more accurate common sense issues that were raised at the time the NJ Turnpike was built.
5. Clarification of Statement
Current article states:
"As part of a 2005 seismic retrofit project, the Turnpike Authority lowered its bridge to increase vertical clearance"
I modified it and then you deleted the bold highlighted section that more accurately reflects what has happened:
"As part of a 2005 seismic retrofit project, the Turnpike Authority lowered its roadway to increase vertical clearance underneath the skyway"
There is NO turnpike bridge underneath the Pulaski Skyway. The turnpike lowered its "roadway" underneath the Pulaski Skyway. It was done to increase the vertical clearance "underneath the skyway" bridge that spans over the turnpike. Wondering55 ( talk) 04:15, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
First off, the way I read things is not that they endorsed a specific wording, which as I said, is not appropriate for the format of a citation. Djflem was the one that changed the wording Doncram added, and I agree with Djflem's revised wording. WikiProject NRHP does not "own" that wording, they did not approve it, I did not accede to any decision of theirs through silence or otherwise, and there's no requirement that we have to stick to that exact wording. In short, the "Search for" wording is not appropriate in tone for a citation, as we don't say "Search for ISBN 1234...9 at your local library for this book" in a citation. The reason I pointed you there is that that project maintains the template that was used for the NRHP citation, not to get them to endorse a poorly worded citation. As for the rest, I'm beyond caring at this point, but please don't screw up a FA in such a fashion that it loses its FA status. The article was just reviewed recently to ensure it was still up to standards, and it was kept as a FA after updates were made at that time. Imzadi 1979 → 06:28, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

I was curious why you changed my edits. I changed edits to that area to keep it consistent with the entire article. If you look, the "U.S. Route" identifies the route first, then the nickname for it "U.S. X" follows for subsequent references. I think it is in the best interests of the article to keep it consistent and since Michigan seems to the be only state standing alone, it was changed. Michigan is also the only one without bullet points. Why should it be different than the other states. Michigan also uses a unique state highway identification. However, per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (U.S. state highways), and similar to the U.S. Route names, unless it is within a Michigan article, there shouldn't be any "M-X" by itself; it should have the full article like all the others. Furthermore, this article has stated many times in its long past that map links are not references, which is why they were changed. If you think coordinates in there are best, then you probably should go ahead and change the other states to keep it consistent. Or again, since Michigan is the only state not like this, it would be easier to change that one. Please do not undo hard work that is done with the article's consistency and clarity in mind just because it doesn't suit your style. This is why there are manuals of style. I'll be happy to help change map links if you think that's best, but not just for one state. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bodo920 ( talk • contribs) 22:49, 2 April 2013 (UTC) Although I would disagree in changing to coordinates, as one map may not show the current or referred details.

If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
The State Trunkline Highway System in Michigan consists of all the state highways, including those designated as Interstate, United States, or State Trunkline highways. Maintained by the Michigan Department of Transportation, the system comprises 9,716 miles (15,636 km) of trunklines in all 83 counties of the state. Its components range in scale from 10-lane urban freeways to two-lane rural undivided highways to a non-motorized highway on Mackinac Island, where cars are forbidden. The longest highway is nearly 400 miles (640 km) long, while the shortest is about three-quarters of a mile (about 1.2 km). A constitutional prohibition on state involvement in roads was removed in the early 20th century and on May 13, 1913, the State Reward Trunk Line Highways Act was passed, creating the system. Highway numbers were first posted on signs in 1919, making Michigan the second state to do so. Michigan's first freeways were built during the 1940s. Construction on Michigan's Interstates started in the late 1950s and continued until 1992. Few additional freeways have been built since 1992, and in the early years of the 21st century, projects are underway to bypass cities with new highways. ( Full article...)

So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along.

I've used NewsBank too many times to go back and link. Since I'm one of the few fortunate ones, I was told it was pointless. As for this SPS, somewhere I got the idea that these were official pages for the projects concerned and that he was an expert. But if I start being skeptical, I will find information online that I feel needs to be here because I was looking for it and it wasn't here. And Wikipedia won't benefit if I'm scared to do anything. I do know about vanity presses. My grandfather used one. He ran out of books but his needed updating. I had the time and the education. But I always told people not to consider the book reliable, but look at the sources if they're shown. I made a lot of mistakes, though I corrected many of my grandfather's previous mistakes. But not all. And I used his reference formatting, which wasn't all that helpful.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 21:07, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

If you click over to the articles for LA 3 and LA 33, you will see that these routes are split in half. It's pretty weird, considering you have segments of highways that were never meant to be. LA 3 was fine, with it following the Monroe-Baton Rouge highway, but LA 33 was originally meant to be constructed, but the middle segment along the Lake Pontchartrain was cancelled. LA 49 is shown in some maps as connecting, in some as missing, and in the final 1955 maps (the year of the renumbering) as the south segment ending about a mile south of the Old River, and the north segment beginning in a small community. Is it normal to just split the segments, like done in LA 3, or talk about the route as a collective whole? Mcdonaat 00:46, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

I wish you wouldn't archive so fast. I thought I was posting here often enough,. I stopped by the office of the man I talked to last week. He said he passed the information along to the person he thought could help me, but he did wonder why I seemed to expect him to drop everything and spend time on this. I explained the idea was people would be able to find all this information and know it was right, though I never used the word Wikipedia. I was afraid he might think that made it less important. Anyway, that's our major obstacle. I had seen links to the NCDOT web site used as sources, but I don't know how one finds information there. He didn't succeed in finding anything while I was there.

I did find a helpful newspaper article about a major project near where I live; an article like this is what we need on I-73 but there just hasn't been one. I don't recall whether you've had any involvement in the coverage of this project in Wikipedia. But it pointed out an error in all the news coverage. I always suspected this might be an error because there was no interstate highway system at the time, and I had meant to ask the NCDOT man about it, though it wasn't his division. I also meant to ask in the county's history room but wouldn't have known how to do the research. But the article stated the facts. So an error that has been in every single newspaper article is now corrected in Wikipedia, with all the background information on this project that I had been unaware of.

December 12 - save the date. I'm about to port the I-49 page over to my sandbox and construct a Missouri exit list.

Greetings, Imzadi, Thanks for cleaning things up in the article I created. Actually, in most Israeli highway articles, we're in the habit of abbreviating St., Rd. & Blvd. in the junction list. Right now, until the junction names are put in, widening the table, I guess there is plenty of room to spell out Road, Street and Boulevard. As you know, Israeli junction lists do not exactly follow the same guidelines of other countries' lists. You once said that "...article should not contain Hebrew in any instances where an English translation is available". Well, our highway signs rarely have English translations. Rather they have transliterations. מחלף שבעת הכוכבים does not appear on our highway signs as The Seven Stars Interchange, but as Shiv'at HaKochavim Interchange! That's why we prefer to include a column for translations of the junction names. In fact, there are some instances of junctions also having Arabic names which differ from the Hebrew names, especially in the West Bank. If we start including those and translating the transliterations, well, the tables might just get so wide as to create bothersome wrap-arounds! I get dizzy just thinking about it! Which leads me back to the issue of abbreviations. Sometimes space becomes an problem. Later on, if the table becomes too wide to comfortably include photos down the right side, I hope you don't mind if I revert to abbreviations. By the way, you may have noticed that a speedy deletion tag was placed on the page. I hope to rectify that situation in the next few days by adding some stuff as per a discussion I had with the user who placed the tag.

Greetings, Imzadi. Recently, you altered the infobox of Jerusalem Road 21. I created a generic infobox and wrote "Planned Jerusalem Road 21" as the name. You replaced that with standard fomatting by using "|header_type=UC" which changed the color to yellow for roads under constuction. Apart from some clearing and fencing, no actual construction has actually begun. Here in Jerusalem, the next stage may not begin for many years, if ever!. Is there another way to signify "planned" rather thatn "UC"? Regards, -- @Efrat ( talk) 17:38, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Since you decided to remove my post (without even trying to answer me), I will ask you directly:
I know that Wikipedia is not a forum, but I was curious. What road (in the US and, possibly, the world) has the most intersections/junctions/interchanges with the same roadway. I'm sure that it is either a business route (and mainline route) or a route that was bypassed by another route (such as the former routing of U.S. 91 and I-15. Current and former (and possibly even future) routes are admissible.
By the way, what is the updated information on the WikiCup?

Thank you for the fixes you applied to the above article.
Having said that, one word on your comment about more references: The vast majority of the detailed info for the RD, as well as the exact info for the mile posts, comes from the personal geodatabase files referenced as Reference 1. Because that data is in the form of massive shapefiles and MS Access database files, and those files are all located at the same site, I don't think that duplicating references makes any sense, and may just confuse instead. In other words - that one reference contains 80-90% of the info used in those areas. I would compare this to using one authoritative book for an article - except that in that case, I would reference different page numbers, which is not possible in the case of this shapefile/database repository.
Is this article fairly rated as a C - when I have seen some Bs and Cs that pale in comparison? No. Do I really care? No. What you see is the result of many hours of careful, detailed research, supported with references allowing a user to follow my trail - I am not here to compete for ratings.

I am not clear how the Talk section works.
I posted a comment on Alansohn's Talk page. He responded with some comments that showed up on my Talk page. I then went into my Talk page and edited it with comments in response to his comments.
However, when I go to Alansohn's Talk page, I do not see his original comments in response to me and I do not see my follow-up comments in response to him. Why is that?
Is he receiving my follow-up comments so that he can respond to them?

Hey Imzadi, I drove along M-95 today on my way to mid-Wisconsin.

Hey have you ever heard of the "Saginaw Military Road". I found a pamphlet from Genesee County Road Commission that says "The first road in Genesee County was a trail cut from Saginaw to Flint by detachments of the Third United States Infantry in the winter of 1822-1823. It was called the Saginaw Military Road though it was little more than a bridle path." I'm guessing it's now part of the Saginaw Trail but there's no historical maps or anything in the pamphlet. Thoughts? TomCat4680 ( talk) 19:44, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
I replaced the current source for the website page for National Register of Historic Places with the alternate link below in the same website. I did this to make it easier for users to quickly find the cited item on the Historic Places website. You put back in the current source.
I updated website link below to make it easier for users to quickly find the cited item since it is NOT listed under Pulaski Skyway and it will NOT be found on the site if a user does a general search with 05000880.
It took make me several frustrating attempts to figure out how to finally find Pulaski Highway on the National Register Site based on the current source. At one point, I was even considering contacting the Historic Register Site to ask if they had it listed in their database.
Is there any reason why the updated source info below cannot be used?
U.S. National Register of Historic Places Search for "05000880" in Reference Number entry. Listed as Route 1 Extension, which also includes Pulaski Skyway. Retrieved March 8, 2013. Wondering55 ( talk) 04:39, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

I believe that all listed revisions, which I made on 20:58 on March 12, are justified based on the reasons below. I hope that once you review the reasons that you will agree they can be included. I would like to try and work to resolve this between ourselves.
1. Addition of a second citation, ref name="NJDOT1", which is already used multiple times in the article, for number of spans (118) for Pulaski Skyway
It is better to have more than 1 citation for an item (number of spans) that has been questioned and reported differently in the past. The current citation is a presentation by an outside engineering company, who was working with NJDOT, to a Historic Sites Council Meeting in 2010 about what was being considered for rehabilitation of the Pulaski Skyway.
The scope of work may or may not have been changed between then and 2013. The NJDOT Jan. 2013 press release, which was referenced by ref name="NJDOT1", clearly states the number of spans is 118. So, now you have left in a 59 page technical slide presentation from 2010, which uninitiated users have to figure out where to find the reference to 118 spans. You reverted a one page 2013 NJDOT press release, which is more authoritative than the current citation since they own the Pulaski Skyway and maintain it, that readily lets users know there are 118 spans.
My recommendation is to keep in both citations, both of which I found on my own for citing the number of spans:
a) ref name="NJDOT1" - The most recent official NJ DOT authoritative citation.
b) Current Parsons presentation citation - Engineering back-up to the NJ DOT authoritative citation. It also has other useful engineering information for readers about the rehabilitation work.
2. Changing the note for the alternate NRHP citation.
As you must be aware since I notified you about this issue, the NRHP project team, who has oversight over the way NRHP citations are presented, approved my note below for inclusion with the alternate format of the NRHP citation, which I developed.
Search for Reference Number "05000880". Pulaski Skyway is a contributing property to the listed “Route 1 Extension”.
Yet, you decided not to allow it. That is not acceptable. It should be changed back, unless you want to reopen this issue with the NRHP project team
3. Typo error
It currently states:
The Skyway way built as part of the Route 1 Extension
I corrected it and then you deleted the bold highlighted correction:
The Skyway was built as part of the Route 1 Extension
4. Clarification of Statement
Current article states:
"The Skyway was built as part of the Route 1 Extension and sources differ on inclusion of that project in the Pulaski Skyway."
I modified it and then you deleted the bold highlighted section that more accurately reflects what has happened:
"The Skyway was built as part of the Route 1 Extension and sources differ on the start and end points for inclusion of the Pulaski Skyway in that project."
In fact, all of the supporting statements that follow reflect the differences that others report on start and end points of the Pulaski Skyway and therefore the actual length of the Pulaski Skyway. There is no cited statement that raised any question about whether the Route 1 Extension project was included in the Pulaski Skyway.
4. Clarification of Statement
Current article states:
"The turnpike had to be built low enough to provide enough clearance underneath the skyway, but high enough to clear the nearby Passaic River."
I modified it and then you deleted the bold highlighted section that more accurately reflects what has happened:
"The turnpike had to be built low enough to provide enough clearance underneath the skyway, but high enough to provide enough clearance over the nearby Passaic River."
There was never a question at the time the NJ turnpike was built about whether the NJ Turnpike would "clear" the Passaic River. Technically, the NJ Turnpike could "clear" the Passaic River if it was only 10 feet above the river at high tide. The sole question at that time was if the NJ turnpike clearance would be high enough for its bridge, which would be built after passing the skyway, above the Passaic River to allow for river traffic. Obviously, this river clearance would be lower if the turnpike went under the Pulaski Skyway instead of over it. They decided to go under the skyway to save money and live with the lower clearance, which required a compromise on whether the turnpike bridge was high enough, over the Passaic River.
The current article statement does NOT reflect the more accurate common sense issues that were raised at the time the NJ Turnpike was built.
5. Clarification of Statement
Current article states:
"As part of a 2005 seismic retrofit project, the Turnpike Authority lowered its bridge to increase vertical clearance"
I modified it and then you deleted the bold highlighted section that more accurately reflects what has happened:
"As part of a 2005 seismic retrofit project, the Turnpike Authority lowered its roadway to increase vertical clearance underneath the skyway"
There is NO turnpike bridge underneath the Pulaski Skyway. The turnpike lowered its "roadway" underneath the Pulaski Skyway. It was done to increase the vertical clearance "underneath the skyway" bridge that spans over the turnpike. Wondering55 ( talk) 04:15, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
First off, the way I read things is not that they endorsed a specific wording, which as I said, is not appropriate for the format of a citation. Djflem was the one that changed the wording Doncram added, and I agree with Djflem's revised wording. WikiProject NRHP does not "own" that wording, they did not approve it, I did not accede to any decision of theirs through silence or otherwise, and there's no requirement that we have to stick to that exact wording. In short, the "Search for" wording is not appropriate in tone for a citation, as we don't say "Search for ISBN 1234...9 at your local library for this book" in a citation. The reason I pointed you there is that that project maintains the template that was used for the NRHP citation, not to get them to endorse a poorly worded citation. As for the rest, I'm beyond caring at this point, but please don't screw up a FA in such a fashion that it loses its FA status. The article was just reviewed recently to ensure it was still up to standards, and it was kept as a FA after updates were made at that time. Imzadi 1979 → 06:28, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

I was curious why you changed my edits. I changed edits to that area to keep it consistent with the entire article. If you look, the "U.S. Route" identifies the route first, then the nickname for it "U.S. X" follows for subsequent references. I think it is in the best interests of the article to keep it consistent and since Michigan seems to the be only state standing alone, it was changed. Michigan is also the only one without bullet points. Why should it be different than the other states. Michigan also uses a unique state highway identification. However, per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (U.S. state highways), and similar to the U.S. Route names, unless it is within a Michigan article, there shouldn't be any "M-X" by itself; it should have the full article like all the others. Furthermore, this article has stated many times in its long past that map links are not references, which is why they were changed. If you think coordinates in there are best, then you probably should go ahead and change the other states to keep it consistent. Or again, since Michigan is the only state not like this, it would be easier to change that one. Please do not undo hard work that is done with the article's consistency and clarity in mind just because it doesn't suit your style. This is why there are manuals of style. I'll be happy to help change map links if you think that's best, but not just for one state. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bodo920 ( talk • contribs) 22:49, 2 April 2013 (UTC) Although I would disagree in changing to coordinates, as one map may not show the current or referred details.

The blurb as it stands now is below:
The State Trunkline Highway System in Michigan consists of all the state highways, including those designated as Interstate, United States, or State Trunkline highways. Maintained by the Michigan Department of Transportation, the system comprises 9,716 miles (15,636 km) of trunklines in all 83 counties of the state. Its components range in scale from 10-lane urban freeways to two-lane rural undivided highways to a non-motorized highway on Mackinac Island, where cars are forbidden. The longest highway is nearly 400 miles (640 km) long, while the shortest is about three-quarters of a mile (about 1.2 km). A constitutional prohibition on state involvement in roads was removed in the early 20th century and on May 13, 1913, the State Reward Trunk Line Highways Act was passed, creating the system. Highway numbers were first posted on signs in 1919, making Michigan the second state to do so. Michigan's first freeways were built during the 1940s. Construction on Michigan's Interstates started in the late 1950s and continued until 1992. Few additional freeways have been built since 1992, and in the early years of the 21st century, projects are underway to bypass cities with new highways. ( Full article...)

So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along.

Regarding Michigan State Trunkline Highway System and your reversion of the edit to replace "LP" with "Lower Peninsula" and a link to Lower Peninsula of Michigan. That was included because not every WP reader is from Michigan or knows what the "LP" means. Yes, it is noted earlier in the article, but that is an issue, it is too far - physically off the screen, 3 paragraphs and over 350 words away. Having the information spelled out and linked improves the readability for WP users and does not appear to have a downside. — MrDolomite • Talk 19:49, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for all of the corrections and modifications that you made to the Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway (Jacksonville) page. I have been so engrossed in my Georgia expansion project that I put Georgia stuff on there. Allen (Morriswa) ( talk) 22:29, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
There are two WP:RFCs at WP:FOUR. The first is to conflate issues so as to keep people from expressing meaningful opinions. The second, by me, is claimed to be less than neutral by proponents of the first. Please look at the second one, which I think is much better.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:42, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
All the material I included are supported by linked citations, especially the MDOT link showing the new signage directing local traffic and Blue Water Bridge traffic with American and Canadian flags on the signs themselves. Look at the photo in the new MDOT link. Regarding the bare URL link issue, what Wikipedia app is there to flesh out the citations? Steelbeard1 ( talk) 13:26, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
If your edits reveal problems, I will point that out in corrections such as changing edits which do not make sense such as "westbound signs omit American flag" which is confusing. Steelbeard1 ( talk) 17:51, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
All I am asking is that you proofread your revisions before uploading. You have been making obvious errors such as "signs westbound American flag" which clearly does not make sense. Please continue, but watch what you type. Steelbeard1 ( talk) 18:44, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
