Is this already active? There's a highway article that I think deserves some attention from the wider community and would like to nominate it. The highway is the Merritt Parkway. -- Polaron | Talk 14:27, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
This already has four votes; can we skip the bureaucracy and get to work? Or do people need time to get books? -- NE2 02:19, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
I think that whenever an article is chosen, the nominator, the supporters, or someone familiar with the road should create a list of specific tasks that need to be done. This way, people who are less familiar with the road can help out in the improvement. -- Polaron | Talk 15:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
I just added a shield for the Nevada State Route 401 article. Anybody who knows more about the road than me should add the rest. ---- DanTD 22:26, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello!! I'm wondering how the current nomination system works!! It says on Category:Stub-Class U.S. road transport articles that Interstate 37 is the only remaining mainline Interstate Highway article stub and I would like to nominate that!! If you could help, that would be great!! Thank you!!

In my view, interest in the AID is waning because of how stagnant the drive has become, not only with I-96 (approaching three months on the AID), but also with I-79 and I-35 (both of which spent 3 months on the drive) before that. We went to a single-article, unrestrained time system to try to entice participation; that change seems to have failed. We tried to tie in a barnstar contest; that has had little to no effect. Of course, hindsight is 20/20, but the problem may have been (and probably was) poor article choices, starting with the very first AID (MN 127) up to the current one (the intrastate I-96). This issue was discussed on IRC tonight, and an idea came up where articles on extremely wide topics (like Interstate Highway System and button copy) would be selected instead of individual routes.
So with that, I propose yet another change to the drive - remove the current AID and the future AIDs listed on the page, then replace the current AID with the Interstate Highway System article and the future AIDs with articles with a similarly wide reaching scope and, most importantly, of interest to many editors. If nothing else, this (as well as the new NYSR AID) has proven that an article has to appeal to many of its participants for it to be successful on a collaboration like this. -- TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 05:52, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
