TfD failed to list

FYI, the TfD for merging Template:Lexington (Kentucky) and Template:Fayette County/Lexington neighborhoods failed to list. A bot reverted it for some reason. I ran into this because of article alerts. Stefen Towers among the rest! GabGruntwerk 08:36, 11 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia and copyright

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Kentucky Route 9 into AA Highway. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{ copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 04:49, 4 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Hi! Sorry to follow up with another copyright thing, but a section that got copied over from Kentucky Route 9 seems to be a close paraphrase of this source. (The full report is from 2002, which pre-dates the addition to Wikipedia in 2006.)
It's not your fault that this happened; this was present on Wikipedia for ~17 years before the page got forked. Just wanted to let you know of this, and also that it's been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2023 December 5. The section on the future of the highway needs to be rewritten to remove the close paraphrasing, and then it should be fine from a copyright perspective.
Cheers!

@ Ha2772a: for the moment, I purged that entire section and requested the appropriate revision deletions to resolve the copyright issues. Previously, I had tagged that section with two issues. Since it was a series of bullet points, it needed conversion to prose, but more importantly, it was overly detailed and needed summation. It might have also been a bit out of date.
I've also taken corrective action on https://wiki.aaroads.com/wiki/Kentucky_Route_9. Because I'm an admin on that site, I can still access the deleted content there if we need it for some reason. Imzadi 1979  15:08, 5 December 2023 (UTC) reply
no worries, it definitely was something that probably needed to go or condensed Ha2772a ( talk) 21:04, 5 December 2023 (UTC) reply

I reverted back to the previous selection of numbers for a number of reasons.

  1. It's a big change to make, and consensus developed to use the longest highway designation in each state as a way to eliminate the desire by various editors to constantly change an example to his/her favorite number.
  2. It is visually very boring to have most of the examples be the same number, especially when about half of them are all "1".
  3. While there is the desire to standardize on the square/two-digit design for consistency, Tennessee and South Carolina use a wider design, thus we can't have that consistency. That said, for the few others, we could use the longest two-digit designation to switch them for consistency, but TN and SC will still stand out, so having the four others makes them look less conspicuous.
