Please read WP:USSH. State Route 267 (Virginia) is the format that should be linked to. -- NE2 07:15, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
I recalled seeing it in the newspaper, but couldn't find a source. It WAS, however listed on the article for SR548 as having already been changed in "mid-2005". I made a comment. I think that the "US 92 in Lakeland" and my comment could therefore be deleted.
Saw your replacement of the markup language with the infobox template in Alabama State Route 22. Frankly, I prefer to work with straight markup because it's much more flexible. I can smush things around, change colors, do anything I want without the limitations of the template. But it's no big deal.
I like to get a lot of stuff into an infobox, though I realize it's a matter of taste. So I listed all the important intersections. SR 22 is a long road, after all. The locations are given in the text.
Also, I have to admit that I think it's a little silly that the first words of the article have to be "State Route 22" instead of "Alabama State Route 22". But I did read that unbelievable Arbcom case, so there's no way I'm going to mess with WP:USSH. Really, though, would using the state name as the first word of the first sentence be so awful? Finally, I got rid of the cite tag with a reference to southeastroads.com. Casey Abell 15:39, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Hey. Thanks for all of your help fixing article links to comply with WP:USSH. I have a question/request: once you get all of the links fixed, could you do some tasks using AWB regarding articles relating to WP:NYSR? This mainly involves changing shields (from "NY-x.png" to "NY-x.svg") and fixing section headers ("Towns along the route" to "Communities along the route", for example). There's no hurry on this, but if you feel up to the task, let me know. Regards, TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 19:03, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Here's a complete list of the headers that need fixing, off the top of my head:

That's all I can think of right now, but that'll provide a good starting point. -- TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 19:31, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
The edit was to fix the text. Leaving it as State Route 15 is ambiguous to the reader. Clearly stating that it is Ohio State Route 15 is correct and it reads well. There is no reason to write the article using ambiguous terms. If the article was about roads in Ohio, then the other wording would probably be correct. Vegaswikian 20:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Hey again. I've noticed you've been going through the New Jersey articles and changing links to the redirected title. I thought I'd inform you had been doing the exact opposite (for example [1] three hours before you hit U.S. Route 46), and for the life of me I don't know which of you is correct. Thus I've posted a question at the bottom of WT:USSH, and I'd appreciate it if you could give your opinion there. -- NORTH talk 22:44, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
I apologize for that article change. I just wanted to reflect change of the new article that was recently created. Spongefan, 17:55 October 17 2006 (UTC)
Smithfield Foods website is the one claiming Smithfield Packing formed in 1936. They bought older Gwaltney of Smithfield in 1981. I think the two fact sources for when Luter Sr. and Jr. switched from boats to bridge are in conflict. Until we can resolve it, if ever, maybe best move for JRB article will be to eliminate specifyng a date Luter started using JRB. Vaoverland 01:57, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Please do not use rollback when not reverting vandalism. You should always make an effort to discuss the issue with the "other side", either on its talk page or the article's talk page. Thank you. --NE2 15:39, 20 October 2006 (UTC) Retrieved from " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jkatzen"
Why are you changing the VA state roads format to "State Highway XX (Virginia)? Is there a new standard format? If not, how is this [2] "fixing a link?" — AjaxSmack 23:44, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
The article Virginia State Route 16 you nominated as a good article has failed , see Talk:Virginia State Route 16 for reason why the nomination failed. If or when this points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of said artile. If you oppose this decission, you may ask for a review. Metros232 19:39, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Hey. Here's a shield for WV 59, as requested: . Regards, TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 21:24, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Is there consensus now to create articles on West Virginia county routes? If so, I can start shurning out some, at least in some parts of the state with which I am familiar. youngamerican ( ahoy hoy) 22:43, 23 October 2006 (UTC) Thanks. I knew you were more in touch with the pulse of the roadies on Wikipedia than I am, so I figured you'd be the one to ask. Also, that WV template that you trimmed down and removed from WV 2 might be TfD-able. A year or so ago, it survived one such discussion (I actually voted keep, but now think maybe not) that I now suspect was full of sockpuppetry and other shady dealings. If you put it up, let me know. youngamerican ( ahoy hoy) 22:52, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Trying to decide what to do with [3]. It's the doc "Prioritization of Unfunded State Highway Projects", but unsure if a summary based on the XLS with wikilinks to said pages would work, or if including the data into the said pages would be better.

The image your provided is a C.R., not a secondary route. WV Highways have 4 levels. Normal State Highways with the Square Shield. The C.R.'s which have a round sheild. The C.R. stands for county route, but is part of the state system. The secondary routes are the fractional routes such as 220/3 and have a round sheild on a horizontal green sheild. Also the roads from the orphan roads program that use a sheild shaped like a house on a green sheild. There are 4 distict levels of WV state maintained roads.
Also city streets are not part of the state system. This template may work for other states but has nothing to do with WV's system. -- 71Demon 14:22, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia:Profanity. Thank you. -- NE2 03:28, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
It was decided on other state route pages that it would be best to remove counties. It was becoming overly excessive and consuming up 3 or 4 lines of categories. They are also redundant as one can click on the county under Communities the route traverses through and come up with the same solution. It's done primarily for clarity. You can bring it up at WP:WVR if you want other opinions on this. Seicer ( talk) ( contribs) 21:00, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Massachusetts Water Resources Authority to

LymanSchool 19:18, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Your recent edit to the MA Rt 295 page claims to be implementing the WP:USSH policy for links, but it actually did the reverse, changing two Rt. 41 links from the policy format back to the old format. I'm assuming this wasn't what you intended. -- Mr Wednesday 19:28, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello! You've gone thru today and changed a number of links in the articles on Mass. highways from "Mass Route X" to "Route X (Mass)" and noted that this was in keeping with USSH. The article title on the USSH main page is designated as the original ("Mass Route X") and now you've created a series of redirects. Is this in preparation for a renaming of the articles? Sahasrahla 21:52, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I was wondering, why you edited the link to Massachusetts Route 128 to "Route 128 (Massachusetts)" on the List of highways named Circumferential Highway when "Route 128 (MA)" is a redirect to "MA Route 128"? Basically, why did you change a direct link to a redirect? JayDuck 05:02, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm used to knowing references as inline sourcing, and all those as external links-thats why i changed it. Mitch azenia (7500+edits) 03:26, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

AAMOF, I am that person, however to avoid further confusion I tagged this as PD-user. I understand the issues with Ozzie-billete-sm.jpg, it didn't occur to me that the logo would be a problem. That brings up the next question, which is that many images of US government entities are PD, and there's tags for such use, but how about the Mexican government entities? There's a couple of pix I simply tagged as GFDL as I didn't see any category for that. Tubezone 22:34, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
BTW, the logo on Ozzie-billete-sm.jpg is a free giveaway meant for public distribution, I have the same logo on my computer and cell phone. I don't know how the licensing works for that kind of thing. I think the easiest thing to do with Mexican images is just to get a statement from the entity in question as to whether it's considered PD or not. Tubezone 22:46, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Brghtnpk.jpg Brpkmap.jpg What on earth is the matter with these? The author gave his permission, his site is linked from the article. What do I need to do, get a notarized statement of permission? Tubezone 22:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
You need to make it clear that said permission applies to the license you put. Simple permission for use on Wikipedia is not enough. --NE2 22:59, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
You first marked it as GFDL, then changed it to "any purpose". Why?
