OK, here's the schpiel. It appears that there's an edit war going on in all the NJ toll roads about the legitamacy of "shunpiking" in the articles. Shouldn't we be discussing this before we go back and forth about it? Personally, I see no need for it, other than a quick one or two sentence blurb to acknowledge that it happens, but no need for a play-by-play of how to do it. This would constitute original research and needs to be cited if it should stay. But, that's my opinion. Why not work it out right now here before this turns into an all-day event....

Hello Fellow Wikipedians!
I have enjoyed my time editing here on Wikipedia but I feel it is time to move on. I have done edits on some pages here but I feel it is time to start my own website for roads, I will post the link when it goes live. I have removed a chunck of articles from my watchlist and will begin to make a steady transition out. My subsequent edits will be more for matience and/or minor information changes. I have no hard feelings towards this project but I feel its time to move on. I am not leaving Wikipedia, just this project as it would not be appropriate for me to do this in addition to my future website. Thank you all for the wonderful time I had here! If there is anything you all want help with or want my opinion on, just let me know!
All the best!

After much effort, all current state routes now have infoboxes!!! So now, all that's left to do is... everything else. Just kidding... or am I? Well, now that we have infoboxes the bulk of the work is done, so it's time for a "final" run-through of all the state route articles. This will ensure that all the articles are up to the standards set by both this project and its parent WP:USRD. Once that's done, everything's done except the obvious... expansion.
So here's an expanded version of the to-do list, explaining exactly what needs to be done.

Important heads up about the shields. Per a discussion on WT:USRD, there's a project going on right now to combine the "image sets" for the many states that use circular shields. The result will be one set with ellipses ( ), and one with "elongated circles" ( File:New Jersey 184.svg).
At some point in the near future, the naming convention for NJ's shields will change. My personal preference would be to use the ellipses (for reason's Vishwin stated on WT:USRD), but it doesn't really matter since NJ's signage is so inconsistent on the matter. -- NORTH talk 23:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Ever since I joined Wikipedia a short time ago, I've gained a real intrest in this state's county routes. Recently, I completed the List of county routes in Mercer County, New Jersey. Now, I'm really intrested in completing the list of all county routes in the state. I'm doing this by using both the NJ Straight Line Diagrams and NJ County Maps as references. Any tips for this bold county-routegeeker? Mr. Matté 00:16, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

After expanding 25 articles to Start or B, I have some ideas for how to lower our falling stub count. The first is for a List of minor routes in New Jersey, which contains some of the shortest, little history routes that we have (a.k.a. permastubs). My second idea is reinstating the Decommissioned state highways in New Jersey as List of former state routes in New Jersey, as we have too many articles on proposed/former routes. Both can help in the long run. The third idea is to create an Aricle Improvement Drive for us, so we can collaborate on the longer articles. Most of ideas are following NY's, but all will benefit us a lot. Voice your opinion. Mitch 32 contribs 14:06, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
That's just a basic template, and obviously the wording/content can be changed, but if a route is so small that the only notable information is the above, then "merging" to that page would be a fine choice. That is only my personal preference to do things, as I like lists and my experience is limited to organizing hurricane articles. Also, I've never had luck with article improvement drives, so I have no comment on that aspect. However, informal collaborations, or creating a list of core articles, are alternatives. Good luck with whichever decision you make. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 20:37, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Seeing we have a major problem with county routes here, we gotta look at notability and information. We currently have over 30 county route articles (excluding the lists). Most of these are stubs except a special few. County Route 676 (Middlesex County, New Jersey) and County Route 622 (Middlesex County, New Jersey) are by far our best articles for County routes and I'm sure we can make more like that. However, the notability on a few of these articles are not existant and need to be explained. During my stub expansion, I did target a few of the 600 series routes, getting them to higher stats. I like writing CR articles, I so do, but we've gotta put together a better guideline for them. We should also look into focusing more on the important routes in New Jersey. Mitch 32 contribs 22:56, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Is anyone gonna comment on the proposals rather than discuss minor things? This thread is dead and it really should be discussed.

Seeing this might go to good use, at WikiProject Tropical cyclones, they use(d) to use an Article requests page to help discuss articles for whether they should be created or not. It'll help, with the growing number of county routes and the shrinking number of state routes, to decide what gets an article or not. This will be a non-bureaucratic process, just simple consenus on article creation. Voice your opinon! Mitch 32 contribs 20:35, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Ok, bad idea. Otherwise, what's your decision on the County Road proposals? As that seems to have not been mentioned. Mitch 32 contribs 21:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
I've noticed that on the very few occasions when a lower-level Bergen County county road is given an image on here, it's presented in the standard pentagon. With only two exceptions in my experience (CR 124 in Little Ferry and overhead signs for "CR 2" in Montvale), Bergen County's roads do not use the blue pentagons, but rather white squares like the one at right. I think we should use those throughout, as they are the official signs used. Style note: The font used on the signs doesn't appear to be consistent, so I don't know which we would want to use on the images. The image at right uses Arial for "BERGEN" and "COUNTY" and Microsoft Sans Sarif for the number.
Also, I'd like to start a few pages similar to those used for the Rockland County NY county road system, where there are main pages for roads 1-40, 41-75, and 76+ along with specific pages for important roads. I think any such set of pages for the Bergen system has to address "CR" 2-21, which appear on maps and are frequently signed along with (or instead of) the official routes, but which are not recognized by NJDOT. For instance, one article covering all of those "overlay" routes which would say:
Bergen County Road 2 is the unofficial, but signed designation of a series of county roads throughout northern Bergen County. From west to east, it includes Darlington Road ( CR 98), Lake Street ( CR S-81 and CR 94), and Grand Avenue ( CR 96).
Bergen County Road 3 is the unofficial, but signed designation of CR S-89 in western Bergen County.
With links to the pages that have the route log for the NJDOT-recognized route. In certain cases, the article for the official route would note the unofficial one. For instance:
Bergen County Road 80 (signed as County Road 6 throughout most of its route) stretches from CR 84 in Midland Park to...
I haven't seen much on these points, so I figured I'd put it up for discussion before I put too much effort into making the shields and pages. What do you guys think? Jonpin ( talk) 17:35, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection before December 2008, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows ( full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to
report bugs and
request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a
"news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at
Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Casliber recently posted a suggestion on the talk page for WikiProject United States about getting the US Wikipedians Collaboration page going again in an effort to build up articles for GA through FA class. See Wikipedia:U.S. Wikipedians' notice board/USCOTM. After several days of work from him the page is up and ready for action.

There are tons of good articles in the various US related projects as well so feel free to submit any article relating to US topics (not just those under the scope of WPUS). This noticeboard is intended for ‘’’All’’’ editors working on US subjects, not just those under WPUS.
The next item I intend to start updating is Portal:United States if anyone is interested in helping. Again this is not specific to WPUS and any help would be greatly appreciated to maximize visibility of US topics. The foundation has already been established its just a matter of updating the content with some new images, biographies and articles.

The first is for a List of minor routes in New Jersey, which contains some of the shortest, little history routes that we have (a.k.a. permastubs). My second idea is reinstating the Decommissioned state highways in New Jersey as List of former state routes in New Jersey, as we have too many articles on proposed/former routes.

That's just a basic template, and obviously the wording/content can be changed, but if a route is so small that the only notable information is the above, then "merging" to that page would be a fine choice. That is only my personal preference to do things, as I like lists and my experience is limited to organizing hurricane articles.

Seeing we have a major problem with county routes here, we gotta look at notability and information. We currently have over 30 county route articles (excluding the lists). Most of these are stubs except a special few. County Route 676 (Middlesex County, New Jersey) and County Route 622 (Middlesex County, New Jersey) are by far our best articles for County routes and I'm sure we can make more like that. However, the notability on a few of these articles are not existant and need to be explained. During my stub expansion, I did target a few of the 600 series routes, getting them to higher stats. I like writing CR articles, I so do, but we've gotta put together a better guideline for them. We should also look into focusing more on the important routes in New Jersey.

I've noticed that on the very few occasions when a lower-level Bergen County county road is given an image on here, it's presented in the standard pentagon. With only two exceptions in my experience (CR 124 in Little Ferry and overhead signs for "CR 2" in Montvale), Bergen County's roads do not use the blue pentagons, but rather white squares like the one at right. I think we should use those throughout, as they are the official signs used. Style note: The font used on the signs doesn't appear to be consistent, so I don't know which we would want to use on the images. The image at right uses Arial for "BERGEN" and "COUNTY" and Microsoft Sans Sarif for the number.
Also, I'd like to start a few pages similar to those used for the Rockland County NY county road system, where there are main pages for roads 1-40, 41-75, and 76+ along with specific pages for important roads. I think any such set of pages for the Bergen system has to address "CR" 2-21, which appear on maps and are frequently signed along with (or instead of) the official routes, but which are not recognized by NJDOT. For instance, one article covering all of those "overlay" routes which would say:
Bergen County Road 2 is the unofficial, but signed designation of a series of county roads throughout northern Bergen County. From west to east, it includes Darlington Road ( CR 98), Lake Street ( CR S-81 and CR 94), and Grand Avenue ( CR 96).
Bergen County Road 3 is the unofficial, but signed designation of CR S-89 in western Bergen County.
With links to the pages that have the route log for the NJDOT-recognized route. In certain cases, the article for the official route would note the unofficial one. For instance:
Bergen County Road 80 (signed as County Road 6 throughout most of its route) stretches from CR 84 in Midland Park to...

If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot ( Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:08, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 03:42, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

I have started a conversation here about the possibility of combining some of the United States related WikiProject Banners into {{ WikiProject United States}}. If you have any comments, questions or suggestions please take a moment and let me know. -- Kumioko ( talk) 20:00, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows ( full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to
report bugs and
request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a
"news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at
Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.
Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.
Thanks. — Headbomb { ταλκ κοντριβς – WP Physics} 09:28, 15 March, 2009 (UTC)
Casliber recently posted a suggestion on the talk page for WikiProject United States about getting the US Wikipedians Collaboration page going again in an effort to build up articles for GA through FA class. See Wikipedia:U.S. Wikipedians' notice board/USCOTM. After several days of work from him the page is up and ready for action. A few candidates have already been added for you to vote on or you can submit one using the directions provided. If you are looking for inspiration here is a link to the most commonly viewed articles currently under the scope of Wikiproject United States. There are tons of good articles in the various US related projects as well so feel free to submit any article relating to US topics (not just those under the scope of WPUS). This noticeboard is intended for ‘’’All’’’ editors working on US subjects, not just those under WPUS.
The next item I intend to start updating is Portal:United States if anyone is interested in helping. Again this is not specific to WPUS and any help would be greatly appreciated to maximize visibility of US topics. The foundation has already been established its just a matter of updating the content with some new images, biographies and articles. Please let leave a comment on the Portals talk page or let me know if you have any questions or ideas. -- Kumioko ( talk) 19:18, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion taking place at WT:HWY regarding the potential use of coordinates in highway articles. Your input is welcomed. -- Rs chen 7754 01:59, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
I think it is important to include maps into the county highway infoboxes, since they are left empty. Tinton5 ( talk) 02:52, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
There is a proposal to demote all state highway WikiProjects to task forces; see WT:USRD. -- Rs chen 7754 05:10, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
