I'm currently setting up a "Featured Articles" section. Here, we can pick which articles represents this WikiProject's best work to date, so that future and stub articles can follow these examples. I propose that we select a maximum of three articles each month from any of the articles that best follows the modus operandi of the WikiProject, as outlined in the main WikiProject page. It should also follow as many of the pointers outlined in Wikipedia:What Is a Featured Article. But I wish to discuss the criteria on this talk page; if you actually feel like recommending an article, go to the Featured Article section's talk page. Bennyp81 05:12, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
Is there a definitive list of county abbreviations to use somewhere? Currently, for example, these 3 that run through Santa Clara County:
So far, so inconsistent...

Do any of these go in the browse section of the info box?
This is getting a little confusing... -- Rschen7754 18:09, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
I think the browse section should be kept as one line if possible. atanamir 02:58, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Just wanted to see what other people thought about the discussion about the category on Wikipedia:WikiProject California State Highways/Strategy. -- Rschen7754 16:37, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
Should the list of completed CASRs go on a subpage? It makes the Wikiproj page very bulky. I think Wikipedia:WikiProject says that completion lists should go on a subpage (but it might be elsewhere). -- Rschen7754 00:22, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
The article on Transportation is currently nominated on Wikipedia:This week's improvement drive. Vote for Transportation there.-- Fenice 09:11, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
The routebox template in the California State Route 152 article is AFU and needs to be fixed. BlankVerse ∅ 23:13, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
I created these... but use the CA highway stub for the ones that are ENTIRELY in California. Otherwise use the newly created stubs: {{ Interstate Highway Stub}}, {{ US Highway Stub}}. -- Rschen7754
It seems to me that we should create a new category for retired US Highways in California. Richard Hendricks 20:14, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
should not be done on Wikipedia. It belongs on WikiSource. ed g2s • talk 13:09, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
Well in truth I'd like to have the whole thing as it is right now but if people do object then I'd be okay with just the route definition, as long as somewhere in the article it says that it is a part of the freeway-expressway or scenic highway thing. -- Rschen7754 ( talk - contribs) 04:41, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
To try to get a wider range of opinion on this question, I have listed it at Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Style_issues. -- Mwanner | Talk 13:42, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
OK, as Rschen7754 is back, I have gone ahead and changed the project standards on quoting the state law, as well as the two articles cited as examples in the state law section. For California_State_Route_13, I diverged from the standard slightly, omitting the reduced font size spec, and changing from full section headings to simple bold text.
I'll stop at this point and see if a better approach develops. -- Mwanner | Talk 14:05, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
The state law defining a highway should never be included. It's redundant with the human-readable description, and it's a primary source. (And besides, most state laws are copyrighted. Including large chunks of them here could very well be a copyvio.) -- Carnildo 19:23, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
The WikiProject says if the junction routes are bold, then that shows the start, end, and discontinuities of the route. Question is, which route, the article route or the junction route? I need clarification, please. Also, do you bold the postmile as well? -- Geopgeop 03:34, 23 October 2005 (UTC) (not logged in)
Oh, I see, thanks!
Anyways...
I was doing a little research on what the WikiProject meant by the green box in the routeboxca2 template, and I noticed you removed the green color on August 17. I'm wondering if you still want to change it back to green, or keep it the near white color it's been since then and change what it says on the WP. Any suggestions, Rschen7754? -- Geopgeop 12:45, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
I admit I am not fluent in wiki, but I added Highway 26, and it won't update on the Category Page. I have added a few in the past and they automatically came up on the category listing, but 'ol 26 won't do it. Help appreciated....explanation would be great too.

(Originally written in the
California State Route 210 talk page) For those California State Route articles whose next links point to the Interstate part of itself, CA-15/I-15, CA-210/I-210, CA-238/I-238, those links are only pointing to the present article. Considering Interstate 80, California State Route 80 redirects to Interstate 80. But since 15, 210, and 238 already have state routes, there is an issue with coding routeboxes for them. You do not need to edit routeboxint in the Interstates' articles, their browse boxes are editable for the use of various states. 15, 210, and 238 will need custom written routeboxes, I suppose. --
