I've caused this year to end on a chord of disappointment for many, but I hope that despite my mistakes and the differences in opinion and perspectives, and regardless of what the outcome is or in what capacity I can still contribute in the coming year, we can continue working together directly or indirectly on this encyclopedic project, whose ideals are surely carried by both of our hearts. I'm hoping I have not fallen in your esteem to the level where "no hard feelings" can no longer ring true, because I highly respect you and your dedication to Wikipedia, and I sincerely wish you and your loved ones all the best for 2018.

I have several KML files that are used on some of the pages I've been working on. Is it possible to convert these to png images that can be used in the infobox? For exmaple, the Michinoku Toll Road has this Template:Attached KML/Michinoku Toll Road attached in the external links section, however, I'd like to have an image of the map for the infobox. Thanks!

For your efforts in improving content regarding roads within the scope of Wikiproject San Diego I would like to present to you this barnstar. May it be a shining example to all who see it that this editor volunteers their time and efforts to strive to improve content about roads in San Diego County. May others who see it learn by this editors example and contribute positively to our open source of knowledge. RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 01:33, 11 April 2018 (UTC) |
Additionally if I have not already, I would like to extend an invite to the April meetup of the user group.-- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 01:33, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
A proposal has been made to delete Portal:California Roads, which you have made significant contributions to, as well as all other portals on English Wikipedia. You are welcome to contribute to the discussion if you'd like, which is located at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#RfC: Ending the system of portals. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
