An account of the story of SRNC has been written at /Account. |
Per the Arbitration Committee Highways case Remedy #5: Consensus encouraged, this poll has been devised to create a guideline regarding the naming of United States state highways.
All portions of the poll are now complete. The results are available below.
Note: This timeline is not set in stone. Dates can be adjusted if there are not enough votes.
Since this is such a large debate, it needs to be broken down into chunks (that are spaced apart enough so that we don't get tired and so we can cool down...also, the dishes need to be done. :)
Q: Why such a long process?
Q: Will states have leeway to choose their own name?
Q:What if a state already has a stable convention?
The editors named below are the judging administrators of this poll, who have volunteered their time to keep this poll sane and to help and encourage editors to follow the ground rules of this poll. A round of applause for all five six of them.
Part I has concluded. For the discussion and votes, please click here.
The principle adopted was Principle I. The format of all state highway article titles shall be [State Name] [Road Term] XX with the exception of Kansas and Michigan (explained here).
Administrators have adjusted the outcome as follows: click here for text.
Every state (except MI and KS) must follow P1 at some point in the future (that point varies depending on the situation in the state). States that will temporarily remain at P2 (NJ, CT, WI, TX, and OK) can be moved once someone is willing to do the work -- even if that person is from outside the project, and even if the project objects.
Part II has concluded. For the discussions, votes, and individual conventions ratified, please click here.
The official policy draft is located at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (U.S. state highways). Feel free to edit the proposal.
Voting takes place here and there:
The result of the vote was support. -- TMF T - C 13:56, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Remember that the 100 edit rule applies. Also, the no comments with the votes still applies. Any comments left will be forcibly removed by a judging administrator. Please vote using three tildes (~~~), not four.
Um? can we allow comments somewhere else??? I'm certainly interested in them. especially the opposes, I want to hear what they propose instead (that fits within the framework of where we are so far, no repudiating the whole thing, that's just not useful) ++ Lar: t/ c 20:34, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Is the implementation perfect? No. But I urge you (as a fellow editor, not as the creator of the poll) to support this for the sake of consensus and to get this issue over with and to move on. -- Rschen7754 ( talk - contribs) 01:59, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
I don't get it. We are voting on whether we support the policy above, but it can still be edited? I am not voting on something that may change. What I support now could change and I could oppose it later on. I will refrain from voting until the policy page is finalized and protected to prevent editing during the voting. -- Holderca1 16:57, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Page moves take place only after the policy has passed. (You can sign up though).
First of all, the following need to be notified:
Secondly, sign up for moves. Strike out ones that you have completed. Fix double redirects, but do not "fix" any other links to the old name. It would be helpful to create the redirects ASAP too.
ALL NON-ADMIN USERS MUST BE SIGNED UP BY THE TIME WE NOTIFY CURPS (see above for time). This is so you do not get blocked by Curps. Admins are automatically whitelisted.
How to mass move pages: 1) Move the page, showing WP:SRNC for justification 2) Check for double redirects 3) Check all possible sources for articles- that would be lists, categories, stub categories, WikiProject templates 4) Create redirects with a completion list (if time allows)
This bot can only convert links such as "Iowa State Highway xx" to "Iowa Highway xx". After I fix the U.S. Routes I can do some states. If you want to sign up a state for this, add it to the list below. Don't convert P2 links to P1 if it goes against WP:USSH. Only links to existing pages can be fixed at this time. Apologies.
NE2 has run AWB on a lot of states to change links and text for all routes, whether or not they have articles. If you want others done, you can add the state below or let me know. AWB can also help fix double redirects after moves by generating a list of all possible redirects and then applying regexes to the redirect pages.
