You might want to let Splat know at his new name, User talk:Must eat worms. -- NE2 01:38, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
I'll have to admit, I'm sad to see it go. I suppose the only thing that kept me from editing it was not being able to find anything useful for it. ---- DanTD ( talk) 03:44, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Must eat worms ( talk · contribs) seems to be former Splat5572 and Splat5572 was former of Dabby. Do Must eat worms seem to be a sock, they have similar editing patterns.-- 57 Free ways 22:45, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

I thought I-110 should not merge, even when Harbor Frwy is SR 110 between i-10 and US 101 the signs I post on the talkpage says I-110 South from Four Level Interchange. Gaffey St shows no SR 110 on the signs.-- 57 Free ways 01:53, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
harbor and Pasadnea Frwys should not be emrge. Even the talkpage say it should not.-- 57 Free ways 02:00, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
I-110 article should only be able align south of Four Level Interchange. The sign from US 101 say i-110 South.-- 57 Free ways 02:02, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

It's actually for helping USRD since your content is more of a USRD-type material and not a User:Rschen7754 material. And even if you threaten to block me, I will just ask to have the block reviewed because I know that's not a good reason to block people. Also, you touch my userspace plenty of times.

An editor has asked for a deletion review of John Pemberton (anthropologist). Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. lifebaka ++ 16:22, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
Well you folks may be all and well happy as you seem with the process but where the hell one actually deal with the issues regarding such a vague and unhelpful reason for deletion 'may or not may be notable?' - THE afd and the DRV gives a rather circular locked in a cupboard at the bottom of the stair feeling to this process - ?? Satu Suro 02:09, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
If you have any understanding at all of the Indonesian project for example - one month is a pointless criteria
WP:NODEADLINES and such a deletion in the context of that porject for instance would be out of order - I have to wait a year sometimes for some issues to resolve :)
Satu
Suro 02:24, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
I am getting quite confused as to who did what - I consider the article undeletable because of his contribution to an issue rarely found in the english langauge and a seriously poor afd decision and lack of understanding by either nominator or editor creating the article as to the context of the indivudual in javanese studies Satu Suro 03:31, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
So? where to now? a group of editors who know nothing about Indonesia decided it was not notable - I have since asserted that his book of 1994 was an important publishing event regarding javanese studies - where does it go now? Satu Suro 05:17, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Hey at least thanks for getting to the afd - I appreciate that - its a thankless task either way I say and I wasnt having a go at you personally - there were a group of about 6-8 american academics who did field work in Java in the 1980's and 1990's who are essential reading for the understanding of Javanese and Indonesian culture in the last years of suharto's new order - and I hold with deep suspicion the relatively narrow view of eds who cannot even think to put project notifications on speedies or afds in relevant projects - he wrote a book java - all it needed was a listing there - to have it at living american academics was a furphy! but thanks anyways. As for general xfd/ xfr etc sorry to say but it stinks - sloppy work all around by many Satu Suro 05:33, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
You had failed the Holland Tunnel article in a B-class audit, citing sourcing issues. I have added sources for nearly every statement in the article, and expanded the text where appropriate, which should address your concerns. Any suggestions on getting this article past B-class would be appreciated. Alansohn ( talk) 15:59, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Aren't blogs supposed to have comments below? -- NE2 10:23, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Dear Rschen7754,
I have noticed that my article about Yildun Internet Backup was recently deleted due to it not being written in an encyclopedic jargon.
However, I do not find many differences between my article and some others that deal with more or less the same subject.
Could you please explain to me what makes a text commercial and what not? In my article I just wanted to explain the new technology that Yildun Internet Backup applies.
Thank you very much for your help,
Glosolii

Well I don't really understand what is notable to be in Wikipedia and what is not, but I think this technology is important and, at least, widely known in Spain to have an article. Even Google uses the technology. Could you please specify what is the exact reason why the article was deleted? Many thanks, once again.
Glosolii ca ( talk) 15:13, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
I understand, however, I don't think that these policies are always applied in the same way. For example, there's another backup system called Mozy, that has a totally commercial article on wikipedia, with even the prices of the service on it, so this should be catalogued as Spam as well. I do not know how to explain that this technology I am talking about in my article deserves to be known, because is new and really interesting.
Glosolii ca ( talk) 13:23, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
I recommend you ignore the Durova/ Shoemaker's Holiday crowd Mitchazenia seems to have befriended. They remind me of politicians, slinging mud whenever it helps their buddies. User talk:NE2#A peace offering struck me as a bribe. (And yes, I understand the above could be interpreted as mud-slinging, but that was not my intent.) -- NE2 12:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
As for your essay... well put. I arrived here too late to witness the "old crowd" drama and didn't submerge myself in the recent developments, but whatever the case, it is rather silly that this is happening at all, with the ever-changing moniker of AL2TB, NYSR or what have you. Hopefully you can work on California and get it back up to what it once was and bypass everything else C L — 04:31, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/I-210 -- I-210 ( talk) 00:04, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Do not accuse me again; that's just rude. I doesn't make anyone like you to go around attack me everytime you anwser that on Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/I-210 that i'm a sockpuppet for AL2TB which definitely almost certinly even not true. -- I-210 ( talk) 04:47, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Did you mean to fully protect I-210's talkpage? I think you post the wrong level of semi-protection, I thought your ultimate intention is to fully protect it, because the protect summary is to stop abuse of urging for unblock.-- SCFR eew ays 00:40, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
I pretty much agree with what you have said in your essay and I guess at age 29, I am one of the senior citizens of the project. The constant arguing and the fact that I am out of the country until March with little chance to get online is why I am currently on an extended break. I reserve hope that when I return, things will be better, but it seems like it has been SSDD for a few years now. Oh well, one can always hope I suppose. Thanks for all you do. -- Holderca1 talk 16:55, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
Rschen7754/Archive 10, you posted at one or more of the recent discussions of short FAs. There's now a proposal to change the featured article criteria that attempts to address this. Please take a look and consider adding your comments to the straw poll there. Mike Christie (talk) 19:52, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
Has an abuse report been filed on this guy? He's been blocked a total of five times--even though AT&T hasn't exactly been responsive to complaints about abuse on Wikipedia (see Wikipedia:Long term abuse/Mmbabies), we can't keep this many users in LA blocked from editing forever. Blueboy 96 22:42, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
You can send me the response, now available for the next two days. Thanks again, Sswonk ( talk) 23:42, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
What's wrong with you lately. This might be disturbing but I have to ask this, because I just made tiny typos and you undo everything, this is too harsh, you can at least fix it. And why you undo my changes to San Diego Fwy. I thought the deal was to keep it merge with I-405 becuase most info contains I-405, we should avoid mentioning control city and major cities. They sound like Interstate-Guide. Also we have little to write about i-5.-- Free way guy 02:40, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

These are NOT SPAM LINKS! The "guy's homepage" is a story about a man who is 102 years old who has lived on the mountain for over 80 years. He will be replaced with a different story soon. If you looked further, you would see that this is a source book for the mountains. Click on the Community Services for futher info. The other site (which loads for me) is an addition to the source book with info about living in the mountains. The other link you did leave Hiway17.com is an advertisement for a realtor.

You have been mena to me lately can you explain why you just do these, elime state name from IA 25/20px, only having state-name on 70px signs. Why on OK, CA, AZ I elime state/specific you undo them back. Agreement is to not use state-name specific on 25/20px at all.

After new evidence and analysis from cross-wiki checkusers, it is now most likely to say that FWG is not User:I-210 or any one of the sockpuppets at Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of I-210. You may wish to reconsider your block if you were blocking FWG based on edits of the formerly suspected sockpuppets. Thank you. -- Avi ( talk) 22:50, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

You seem to have gone into a great length to calculate the worthiness of each candidate. I am impressed. Keep up the good work! -- Cat chi? 12:41, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Archiving isn't always about an attempt to remove something from public display. AN/I actually does have a purpose, and the post had a purpose that could have been addressed at AN/I. However, User:Una Smith has made it clear she will not addressed the AN/I issues raised there, and the main issue has been dealt, and the thread is being used now to discuss article issues, which belong in article space. At this point, archiving would stop a thread that no longer is serving any purpose at AN/I.
It's always a little strange to me that Wikipedians toss WP:AGF around, but seldom assume anything but poor or off-tangent motives to the actions of any other editor.
What a strange conclusion, that I asked for a thread to be archived to avoid further publicity.

Why are you restoring the shields? Those routes are not signed. Only the route names should remain. -- Mgillfr ( talk) 02:49, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I'm fine with your re-write, as I see you might want to just refine the prose. However, I don't know why would you like to remove the references I added. Those are reliable sources as they are maps taken from the respective websites. Explain why those refs should not be added. -- Mgillfr ( talk) 19:02, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

I saw in this diff's edit summary you stated you removed the discussion because it was "not related to the article". Not that it matters a whole lot, but IMHO it was related. Sunrise Blvd in Sacramento and Citrus Heights was a planned portion of SR 65, but it was never fulfilled. The second half of my post on that page was about the historic routing of SR 65 through Roseville. I don't see how those posts could be considered "unrelated" to the topic of the article.

Rschen, I _FINALLY_ finished the re-write of Sierra Highway, a stepping stone to get both U.S. Route 395 and California State Route 14 up to GA. Would you mind giving this a quick overview to see if I missed anything. As this took about 50 times longer than I expected, i'd like to get a DYK out of it =-). Also, I think I might nominate this for GA also, I would argue this should not have a major intersections table, as this is more talking about a historical highway whose modern definition isn't 100% clear. do you concur? (if it does need a major intersectins table, I'll drop work and not nominate it for GA, i've improved it enough to meet my needs). Dave ( talk) 08:47, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Rschen7754, and welcome to the USRD-CRWP Cup. This is just a reminder that the contest will start at 00:00 UTC on Saturday (about 4 PM Pacific and about 7 PM Eastern on Friday). Nominations must be made after that time to count for the contest.
Currently, there is only one pool for contestants. Please feel free to invite any Wikipedia user to join. We need a few more users to get another pool.
It is unknown when the first round will end; however, it will last at least 3 weeks.

You should have asked me during my more active days! :) Sorry though, I just don't have the time to involve myself back to Wikipedia, at least for the time being. It definitely is a good idea, and you've got a good amount of editors already signed up. Good luck with the Cup! Hope it brings more activity to our project. C L — 03:36, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).
I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.
If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!
If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.
Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng { chat} 00:23, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
That is all. I have to still smoosh the Saskatchewan Highway 5 article to see which old and which new photos along the route will go into the actual text. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 00:55, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

I'll roll back those edits, if you like, which I believe to be all those containing the words "route", "highway" or "interstate", other than Route Twisk: this will also roll back all such edits to similarly-named road articles in Canada. You'll need to unblock the bot for me to do that. If you know any other name patterns for articles that should be rolled back, please let me know. -- The Anome ( talk) 21:23, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Update: I think the edits to the Chinese "X Road" articles might be OK, since they generally refer to very short roads. Would you mind if I filtered these by latitude/longitude, and put them back? -- The Anome ( talk) 21:29, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I am uploading images I have taken of roads months ago, way before this competition began. I usually like to take a LOT of pictures of the roads I travel on. As for the competition, you could probably give points for the images I have placed onto Wikipedia articles as well as a select few that could possibly be used in other articles. Dough4872 ( talk) 17:50, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Please let me know:
1) if it is too late to jump in to the competition, and
2) if maps such as found at Massachusetts Route 88 are definitely MTF compliant. I am confident this and the dozens of others I have done in this Commons category are OK, I would simply like confirmation before continuing to contribute using this style.
Thanks -- Sswonk ( talk) 13:38, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Hey, I've finished reviewing California State Route 46. Let me know on the review page if you've made changes to the article or if you need clarification. Thanks. -- Polaron | Talk 23:10, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Per our discussion in IRC, you have my permission to renominate it on the FAC, even though renominating so soon is something we normally discourage. Raul654 ( talk) 21:00, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for alerting me of USSH. I'm a reasonable and thoughtful person. That's why I didn't make any moves not counting one that I made and reverted back less than a minute later. The WP:USSH guideline might be reconsidered. I am trying to locate where the NYDOT calls it "New York STATE Route (number)". I haven't found any sources yet. Thanks again for letting me know of a page (USSH) that I hadn't read before. Chergles ( talk) 20:11, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
I fix things on WP:CASH because that's what I do. There is perfectly nothing wrong with putting mileage that goes out to three decimal places, in fact all what I did was follow NE2 ( talk · contribs)'s style (changing mileage to trucklist, use his junction list styles, and more importantly, writing an article). I came back here so I could learn how to cooperate better at USRD while at the same time incorporating my ideas to CASH. If you have problems with me and believe I'm acting childish just because I follow NE2's style, you also need to grow up because all I'm trying to do is be firm with my ideas yet at the same time cooperative (hence why you had problems with NE2 when he was still here at USRD and also why Wikipedia reviews write stuff about "roads attacking" and stuff). There's a thing called being bold, maybe you should try to refresh your memory with that sometime.
Furthermore, I believed that Freewayguy ( talk · contribs) and the 75 IP were able to contribute well to USRD. Yes, you all had problems with them and you all had problems with me. Yes, they also annoyed me too. However, I don't see any good reason why you went and blocked both of them. Has it ever occurred to you that all the other WikiProjects are pretty much doing just fine, and that USRD is sounding very bureaucratic? All you're doing is driving editors away by a) blocking them, b) threatening to block them, c) reverting their edits, and d) even just by sending those {{subst:welcomeroad}} messages that no one gives a flying fladoodle about (almost as if it were SPAM). Judging from your contributions, I see that you are doing more harm to new USRD editors than good.
And another subject of matter I'd like to bring up. I don't know why you enjoy reverting other people's edits. Heck, from your contributions, about 10% of them are reverting stuff. (Maybe that's how you got your 40,000 edit count?) Freewayguy, 75 IP, and I were doing just fine until you came along and started reverting our edits left and right. Then they and I tried reasoning why this idea should be implemented. (Maybe it's not clear in words, but they and I were definitely sending our messages.) Because of your little rollback tool, that's how all the CASH articles became a mess (not that I care of). You constantly say that someone needs to go clean the articles, yet you can't do it yourself? They aren't going to go clean that up for you; they only edit articles as they please; they edit what they want at their own time.
Of course, I know I am not mature when editing USRD articles (and not because you said that in yoru essay). I know that fact because I'm learning. Of course, you're right; I shouldn't switch accounts all the time, and I'm not planning on doing that for a while. That's when I was even more immature. Sadly, I don't think you can see that I have changed since the first time I came here about a over a year ago. You need to see that there are editors like me are sometimes willing to learn, but obviously it takes time. I think you already know that, considering that you demonstrated you understood the standards well enough to be the "evil dictator of USRD".
In a nutshell, this message is intended to get Rschen7754 to wake up and see that I'm trying to learn, that he should not just expect editors to immediately edit the way he wants it right away. If anybody else is reading this, go ahead ... work this thread, because I know this message has a lot to say and a lot to be replied about. -- M*gill*FR ( blab to me) 04:03, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

It's actually for helping USRD since your content is more of a USRD-type material and not a User:Rschen7754 material.

An editor has asked for a deletion review of John Pemberton (anthropologist). Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. lifebaka ++ 16:22, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
Well you folks may be all and well happy as you seem with the process but where the hell one actually deal with the issues regarding such a vague and unhelpful reason for deletion 'may or not may be notable?' - THE afd and the DRV gives a rather circular locked in a cupboard at the bottom of the stair feeling to this process - ?? Satu Suro 02:09, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
If you have any understanding at all of the Indonesian project for example - one month is a pointless criteria
WP:NODEADLINES and such a deletion in the context of that porject for instance would be out of order - I have to wait a year sometimes for some issues to resolve :)
Satu
Suro 02:24, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
I am getting quite confused as to who did what - I consider the article undeletable because of his contribution to an issue rarely found in the english langauge and a seriously poor afd decision and lack of understanding by either nominator or editor creating the article as to the context of the indivudual in javanese studies Satu Suro 03:31, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
So? where to now? a group of editors who know nothing about Indonesia decided it was not notable - I have since asserted that his book of 1994 was an important publishing event regarding javanese studies - where does it go now? Satu Suro 05:17, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Hey at least thanks for getting to the afd - I appreciate that - its a thankless task either way I say and I wasnt having a go at you personally - there were a group of about 6-8 american academics who did field work in Java in the 1980's and 1990's who are essential reading for the understanding of Javanese and Indonesian culture in the last years of suharto's new order - and I hold with deep suspicion the relatively narrow view of eds who cannot even think to put project notifications on speedies or afds in relevant projects - he wrote a book java - all it needed was a listing there - to have it at living american academics was a furphy! but thanks anyways. As for general xfd/ xfr etc sorry to say but it stinks - sloppy work all around by many Satu Suro 05:33, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Dear Rschen7754,
I have noticed that my article about Yildun Internet Backup was recently deleted due to it not being written in an encyclopedic jargon.
However, I do not find many differences between my article and some others that deal with more or less the same subject.
Could you please explain to me what makes a text commercial and what not? In my article I just wanted to explain the new technology that Yildun Internet Backup applies.
Thank you very much for your help,
Glosolii

Well I don't really understand what is notable to be in Wikipedia and what is not, but I think this technology is important and, at least, widely known in Spain to have an article. Even Google uses the technology. Could you please specify what is the exact reason why the article was deleted? Many thanks, once again.
Glosolii ca ( talk) 15:13, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
I understand, however, I don't think that these policies are always applied in the same way. For example, there's another backup system called Mozy, that has a totally commercial article on wikipedia, with even the prices of the service on it, so this should be catalogued as Spam as well. I do not know how to explain that this technology I am talking about in my article deserves to be known, because is new and really interesting.

I recommend you ignore the Durova/ Shoemaker's Holiday crowd Mitchazenia seems to have befriended. They remind me of politicians, slinging mud whenever it helps their buddies.

As for your essay... well put. I arrived here too late to witness the "old crowd" drama and didn't submerge myself in the recent developments, but whatever the case, it is rather silly that this is happening at all, with the ever-changing moniker of AL2TB, NYSR or what have you.

I pretty much agree with what you have said in your essay and I guess at age 29, I am one of the senior citizens of the project. The constant arguing and the fact that I am out of the country until March with little chance to get online is why I am currently on an extended break.

What's wrong with you lately. This might be disturbing but I have to ask this, because I just made tiny typos and you undo everything, this is too harsh, you can at least fix it. And why you undo my changes to San Diego Fwy. I thought the deal was to keep it merge with I-405 becuase most info contains I-405, we should avoid mentioning control city and major cities.

Archiving isn't always about an attempt to remove something from public display. AN/I actually does have a purpose, and the post had a purpose that could have been addressed at AN/I. However, User:Una Smith has made it clear she will not addressed the AN/I issues raised there, and the main issue has been dealt, and the thread is being used now to discuss article issues, which belong in article space. At this point, archiving would stop a thread that no longer is serving any purpose at AN/I.
It's always a little strange to me that Wikipedians toss WP:AGF around, but seldom assume anything but poor or off-tangent motives to the actions of any other editor.
What a strange conclusion, that I asked for a thread to be archived to avoid further publicity.

“ | This route is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System [1] and is eligible for the State Scenic Highway System [2]. | ” |

I saw in this diff's edit summary you stated you removed the discussion because it was "not related to the article". Not that it matters a whole lot, but IMHO it was related. Sunrise Blvd in Sacramento and Citrus Heights was a planned portion of SR 65, but it was never fulfilled. The second half of my post on that page was about the historic routing of SR 65 through Roseville. I don't see how those posts could be considered "unrelated" to the topic of the article.

Do you know any California road articles that do not yet have junction lists? -- Mgillfr ( talk) 01:32, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
Rschen, I _FINALLY_ finished the re-write of Sierra Highway, a stepping stone to get both U.S. Route 395 and California State Route 14 up to GA. Would you mind giving this a quick overview to see if I missed anything. As this took about 50 times longer than I expected, i'd like to get a DYK out of it =-). Also, I think I might nominate this for GA also, I would argue this should not have a major intersections table, as this is more talking about a historical highway whose modern definition isn't 100% clear. do you concur? (if it does need a major intersectins table, I'll drop work and not nominate it for GA, i've improved it enough to meet my needs). Dave ( talk) 08:47, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Rschen7754. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. -- KP Botany ( talk) 23:31, 5 January 2009 (UTC) Hello - Im new to Wikipedia and wanted to know how my deleted article (blatent advertising) is any different that any of the similar articles found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Racing_schools I look forward to a reply - JKF0021 re: FAASST Performance Driving School Article —Preceding unsigned comment added by FPDS21 ( talk • contribs) 19:16, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
OK if that is the case, then please delete the other WP:SPAM here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Racing_schools You did not answer my question which was "how is our article any different than these"?? If you delete one, you must delete all of them. Correct? FPDS21 ( talk) 02:50, 6 January 2009 (UTC)jkf0021

Hello, Rschen7754, and welcome to the USRD-CRWP Cup. This is just a reminder that the contest will start at 00:00 UTC on Saturday (about 4 PM Pacific and about 7 PM Eastern on Friday). Nominations must be made after that time to count for the contest.
Currently, there is only one pool for contestants. Please feel free to invite any Wikipedia user to join. We need a few more users to get another pool.
It is unknown when the first round will end; however, it will last at least 3 weeks.
Regards, Rschen7754 ( T C) 01:15, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Sure, Done – Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 01:43, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
You should have asked me during my more active days! :) Sorry though, I just don't have the time to involve myself back to Wikipedia, at least for the time being. It definitely is a good idea, and you've got a good amount of editors already signed up. Good luck with the Cup! Hope it brings more activity to our project. C L — 03:36, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the note. Will see what I can pop off about roads and highways. Probably no pictures though its like minus 20 here, unless we get a chinook. Kind regards SriMesh | talk 04:11, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).
I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.
If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!
If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.
Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng { chat} 00:23, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
That is all. I have to still smoosh the Saskatchewan Highway 5 article to see which old and which new photos along the route will go into the actual text. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 00:55, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Maybe, but probably not. The edits I might make will require significant map-based research for maps from 1917. At least they exist now! — Rob ( talk) 21:44, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Another question about the Cup. You're watching Commons to see when we upload shields, correct? I haven't uploaded any yet, but I have a bunch that I will be uploading. -- Fredddie ™ 22:41, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Hey dude, One more: assisted edits count (awb, huggle) and anti-vandal activity count, right? It's definitely not cheating. Right? Synchronism ( talk) 10:28, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
In the scoring explanation, could you add the abbreviations from the standings next to what they stand for? I find myself having to scroll up to see what all of them mean. -- Fredddie ™ 02:32, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi there, just wondering - how often will you be updating the Cup statistics on the charts? Jamie ☆ S93 21:33, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for bringing my attention to the highway edits. I'll roll back those edits, if you like, which I believe to be all those containing the words "route", "highway" or "interstate", other than Route Twisk: this will also roll back all such edits to similarly-named road articles in Canada. You'll need to unblock the bot for me to do that. If you know any other name patterns for articles that should be rolled back, please let me know. -- The Anome ( talk) 21:23, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Update: I think the edits to the Chinese "X Road" articles might be OK, since they generally refer to very short roads. Would you mind if I filtered these by latitude/longitude, and put them back? -- The Anome ( talk) 21:29, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I am uploading images I have taken of roads months ago, way before this competition began. I usually like to take a LOT of pictures of the roads I travel on. As for the competition, you could probably give points for the images I have placed onto Wikipedia articles as well as a select few that could possibly be used in other articles. Dough4872 ( talk) 17:50, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Please let me know:
1) if it is too late to jump in to the competition, and
2) if maps such as found at Massachusetts Route 88 are definitely MTF compliant. I am confident this and the dozens of others I have done in this Commons category are OK, I would simply like confirmation before continuing to contribute using this style.
Thanks -- Sswonk ( talk) 13:38, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Hey, I've finished reviewing California State Route 46. Let me know on the review page if you've made changes to the article or if you need clarification. Thanks. -- Polaron | Talk 23:10, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Per our discussion in IRC, you have my permission to renominate it on the FAC, even though renominating so soon is something we normally discourage. Raul654 ( talk) 21:00, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Nothing personal to the writers of the article. It doesn't belong, but people are blinded by poor sources and some clever writing. -- GroundhogTheater ( talk) 18:54, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
(indent reset) You may disagree (and several people have in the past). However, doing it in a rude manner is over the line. -- Rschen7754 ( T C) 01:07, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Then whats the point of an AfD? No one is going to AFD their own article. And an AfD is to generate discussion. Consensus spoke, so I don't know why you're still picking on me. -- GroundhogTheater ( talk) 01:42, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for alerting me of USSH. I'm a reasonable and thoughtful person. That's why I didn't make any moves not counting one that I made and reverted back less than a minute later. The WP:USSH guideline might be reconsidered. I am trying to locate where the NYDOT calls it "New York STATE Route (number)". I haven't found any sources yet. Thanks again for letting me know of a page (USSH) that I hadn't read before. Chergles ( talk) 20:11, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
I fix things on WP:CASH because that's what I do. There is perfectly nothing wrong with putting mileage that goes out to three decimal places, in fact all what I did was follow NE2 ( talk · contribs)'s style (changing mileage to trucklist, use his junction list styles, and more importantly, writing an article). I came back here so I could learn how to cooperate better at USRD while at the same time incorporating my ideas to CASH. If you have problems with me and believe I'm acting childish just because I follow NE2's style, you also need to grow up because all I'm trying to do is be firm with my ideas yet at the same time cooperative (hence why you had problems with NE2 when he was still here at USRD and also why Wikipedia reviews write stuff about "roads attacking" and stuff). There's a thing called being bold, maybe you should try to refresh your memory with that sometime.
Furthermore, I believed that Freewayguy ( talk · contribs) and the 75 IP were able to contribute well to USRD. Yes, you all had problems with them and you all had problems with me. Yes, they also annoyed me too. However, I don't see any good reason why you went and blocked both of them. Has it ever occurred to you that all the other WikiProjects are pretty much doing just fine, and that USRD is sounding very bureaucratic? All you're doing is driving editors away by a) blocking them, b) threatening to block them, c) reverting their edits, and d) even just by sending those {{subst:welcomeroad}} messages that no one gives a flying fladoodle about (almost as if it were SPAM). Judging from your contributions, I see that you are doing more harm to new USRD editors than good.
And another subject of matter I'd like to bring up. I don't know why you enjoy reverting other people's edits. Heck, from your contributions, about 10% of them are reverting stuff. (Maybe that's how you got your 40,000 edit count?) Freewayguy, 75 IP, and I were doing just fine until you came along and started reverting our edits left and right. Then they and I tried reasoning why this idea should be implemented. (Maybe it's not clear in words, but they and I were definitely sending our messages.) Because of your little rollback tool, that's how all the CASH articles became a mess (not that I care of). You constantly say that someone needs to go clean the articles, yet you can't do it yourself? They aren't going to go clean that up for you; they only edit articles as they please; they edit what they want at their own time.
Of course, I know I am not mature when editing USRD articles (and not because you said that in yoru essay). I know that fact because I'm learning. Of course, you're right; I shouldn't switch accounts all the time, and I'm not planning on doing that for a while. That's when I was even more immature. Sadly, I don't think you can see that I have changed since the first time I came here about a over a year ago. You need to see that there are editors like me are sometimes willing to learn, but obviously it takes time. I think you already know that, considering that you demonstrated you understood the standards well enough to be the "evil dictator of USRD".
In a nutshell, this message is intended to get Rschen7754 to wake up and see that I'm trying to learn, that he should not just expect editors to immediately edit the way he wants it right away. If anybody else is reading this, go ahead ... work this thread, because I know this message has a lot to say and a lot to be replied about. -- M*gill*FR ( blab to me) 04:03, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
