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)
I think that for encyclopedic purposes it would be better to call these routes " California County Route A1", etc. The routes are numbered on a statewide, not a county, basis; very many of them cross county lines; not all of them are as important within their county of origin as they are in another county they pass through (consider J7 or J14); and out-of-state readers (the majority) don't care about our counties all that much, or about which agency maintains the roads, but they will want a way to look up, say, Route G4 (having seen it on the map they got with their rental car), without knowing what county it's in. We could keep the county-by-county names as redirects.-- Dell Adams 08:25, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
I yield to the consensus. -- Dell Adams 05:01, 31 August 2005 (UTC), three blocks from Santa Clara County Route G5
The choice of the new names for these route articles is three fold
Many articles covered by this WikiProject lack photographs. As part of a subcategorization of the requested photos category, there is now a category for California articles needing photos - to use it, just add {{ reqphotoin|California}} to the article's talk page. I have only added a few articles to the category so far, but it would be an easy way to make an extensive list California-related articles lacking photos. I hope you find it useful!

I started a navigation template, California County Route SD, for the San Diego routes. I'm putting it in the articles we have. If you guys think it's a good idea, I can make more for other counties, too. (I'd probably start with counties that share routes with San Diego.) I used the S1 image in the template because it is numerically the first one in the county; I didn't want to use the blank county shield because it doesn't say "San Diego" on it. Any future templates I'd make would include the "first" route number in the shield. Let me know what you think about the template. - Branddobbe 20:58, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 22:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
This isn't a question, just a place for me to put a list of CA county routes that traverse multiple counties. Mostly it's to help me in putting the appropriate county navigation templates in an article, but I imagine there are other uses for it as well, so here it is.
If there is a better place to put this, let me know or feel free to move it. - Branddobbe 04:41, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
I have some general questions and suggestions for articles in this WikiProject. Some questions:

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 16:08, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
There is curently a proposal for a WikiProject California Award. I proposed expanding it to include this WP. Check out the link and feel free to comment. -- evrik ( talk) 21:51, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm still not in support of this lame brained idea and would prefer that it not be included in this wikiproject as I see it as a waste of resources. However if consensus is to rate articles rather then spend time writing them I'll let whomever wants to bother with it waste their time. First however I'd like to take a quick straw poll on the issue. Gateman1997 03:31, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm going to go ahead and close this section. Since I'm alone in this I'm going to drop my opposition. I won't help with Assesment, but I won't stop those that feel it's worthwhile. Gateman1997 04:52, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
All of the USRD Clean-up Templates have been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. master son T - C 16:47, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
In response to a few issues that came up, we are giving a reminder to all state highway wikiprojects and task forces:

There are a lot of very short articles like County Route E2. Would it make sense to merge these, possibly by letter, and leave the more notable ones (like County Route S80) alone? -- NE2 04:19, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Someone went through and merged a bunch of Ax route redlinks into "List of Ax roads" for some reason. I turned one into an article ( CR-A1), but there are several more that are still redirects. They are:
Hopefully we can work together to clear this up. - Branddobbe ( talk) 05:17, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
