Thrud
Thanks for taking the time to review the Thrud article. I've been thinking about FACing it, but will act on your suggestion to expand the lead before doing so. GDallimore (Talk) 11:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hi again. I've nominated Thrud for WP:FAC in case you want to contribute. GDallimore (Talk) 16:10, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

New York City Meetup
|
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, and have salon-style group discussions on Misplaced Pages and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).
Well also make preparations for our exciting Misplaced Pages Takes Manhattan event, a free content photography contest for Columbia University students planned for Friday March 28 (about 2 weeks after our meeting).
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Misplaced Pages:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.
You're also invited to subscribe to the public Wikimedia New York City mailing list, which is a great way to receive timely updates.
This has been an automated delivery because you were on the invite list. BrownBot (talk) 03:15, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Stubs
Hey, you disappeared from IRC right after you tipped me off about the stubs. I merged the two CR 516 bannered routes into the main CR 516 article. I figured I'd let the Monmouth County routes sit around for a bit, seeing as how they at least have a history section. (Who knows? I think that even qualifies them for Start-class as is!) -- Kéiryn 03:56, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, sure thing. I'll set up the page on Friday and I'll update you around that time. Rudget. 11:17, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
NY Pics
380 shouldn't be too tough for me. In fact, I thought about stopping and snapping a picture of the NY 394/CR 380 intersection in Falconer yesterday, but I didn't do it. I'll will try to get that photo, or another one, sometime soon.
I don't get down near CR 58 too often, but I'll make a mental note of it and try to remember my camera the next time I do get down that way. :) Skudrafan1 (talk) 20:19, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, all right! The photo is all you needed before you nominated 380 as a GA? Best of luck with that. And way to go on receiving a Triple Crown at the same time I did -- nice coincidence. :) Skudrafan1 (talk) 18:31, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your support!
Hello, and thanks for your support in my recent RFA! The final result was 61/0/3, so I've been issued the mop! I'm extremely grateful for your confidence in me and will strive to live up to it. Thanks again! —Scott5114↗ 07:46, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Triple Crown
Thank you for contributions to the project, Great work, especially on 1983 Atlantic hurricane season - very nice use of free-use images, and good referencing. May you wear the crowns well. Cirt (talk) 10:47, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the support |
| It's been a great two years - we had some rough patches for the first, oh, 23 months of it ;) But, I very humbly thank you for being a good colleague and friend, and I thank you for nominating me. Well, we didn't quite make it to WP:100, but 92/2/2 isn't too shabby! I've already deleted one of my useless sandboxes (a redirect), and I plan on using my adminship tools appropriately and occassionally, so I can keep my status in the top ten of featured contribution lists. Thanks for the barnstar, too, and the only way it would have been topped would have been a guaranteed winning spot on TPIR ;) ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 23:21, 17 March 2008 (UTC) |

U.S. Roads WikiProject Newsletter concern
Reading around on Misplaced Pages, I had noticed, on the US Roads WikiProject page, that a new newsletter had came out back in mid-Febuary, but I had never gotten it on my talk page. My name is even on the list saying that I should be recieving them. I figure I would say something, in case there was a glitch or something. Thanks :) Whammies Were Here 04:07, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you SK Hwy 16 - Sk Hwy 58
Thanks for the review of these articles -will get to the updates right away SriMesh | talk 22:42, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- Made a comment on the talk page of 16. I am puttering away at creating articles to reduce red links...and thought I would peek at the chart. I did use the example at Saskatchewan Highway 913 just that I used the km to mi template convertor for reasons stated at the talk page. Any advise on how to proceed would be cool once you read what/why I did my chart thingie like that. SriMesh | talk 01:36, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Fixed red link on SK Hwy 16, will fix the template on Sk Hwy 58 now. Would like advice on template chart for 16, as I used the one from Saskatchewan Highway 913, and the only items SriMesh | talk 23:23, 28 March 2008 (UTC)mentioned are interesections and concurrency with other Sk Hwy and placenames. Kind Regards...
- I upside downed the article on talk page of 16 and added images and a bit of prose to Sk Hwy 58. Fixed all red links. Made distance chart standard. Added abbreviations to SK 16 chart. It is a looong highway, and all the intersections are either with other hwys or are concurrency things. Edited a lot of Sk 16 to make it shorter, and tried to make the facts connect with better prose. Let me know if you think more should be done... Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 21:43, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- Fixed infobox, ran puncutation through microsoft word, ran MoS through automatic peer reviewer...still checking. The mileage issue. I already made a note that the new junction chart thingie is wrong for Canada that county is really Rural municipality. Then the heading will say miles, but I am really putting in kilometers. Now that doesn't work. The junction template is to U.S.A. for Canada. I can't do this one and tell people the column stating miles is the numbers for kilometers too confusing. Will look at images next. (this is for Hwy 16 only so far)SriMesh | talk 22:41, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- O-o-o-o-o-oh!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!! That is so too too totally much better. Have to break for supper will be back again later. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 22:53, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hello me again. Got the Sk / Hwy business fixed, the ghost town section has more references. I added it as the 1925 1930 road on the square would have had these placenames but the current Yellowhead doesn't. Sk communities have gone from over 3,000 in the 1940's and over 5,000 schools to under 1,000 placenames on current maps and probably under 1,000 consolidated schools currently as well. It always amazes me the huge impact the industrial revolution had on SK. Twinning is the Sk Department of Highway word for a Divided highway or Dual carriageway so I added the wikilink and changed the section heading to the more universal naming convention. Some of the highway being graveled sentences are direct block quotes, but where it wasn't I changed it. What few words does section 2.6 start with?? Kind Regards and thanks for your patience and help with this. SriMesh | talk 00:54, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Rockland Page Update
Hey, been really busy during tax season which has kept me away from editing more regularly. Was wondering though if you were going to update Routes 1-38, Routes 41-75 like you did for Routes 76-118A? If not, I'll do them in a couple weeks, but I figured you may want first crack at it to keep it as consistent as possible. Let me know! Also, thanks for making some updates to the PIP page to help get it to GA status. -Airtuna08 (talk) 17:01, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

GA review of Prospect Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway
I've reviewed the article and left notes on the talk page. I've put the nomination on hold for seven days to allow the issues to be addressed. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, here, or on the article talk page with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.
GA nominations
If you're going to nominate more New York articles for Good Article status, I ask that you ensure that all of the issues that I am currently fixing on all current NY Good Articles and GANs (as shown on User:TwinsMetsFan/to do) are not present on new nominations. Thanks. --TMF 20:51, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

SK Hwy 16 - Sk Hwy 58
Hello there. Regarding these articles. Thinking of the prose and community table. I put help me on the talk page to see if I could get the town sizes and citations added differently but how I cited it is the wiki way. Maybe if in the community table, instead of just the town name, I added the size also...then the prose would flow better and wouldn't stop with all the mentions of the stats. The size I added for most communities as the number of residents rather determine whether all services are present...ie if you were traveling down the road....a village/hamlet of 100 or 200 is not going to have a service station providing gas after 5 pm probably, and maybe not even have a gas station at all. A town of 500 folk may have this service but not all hors, and a city will have evening, and probably all night service. A town will have a hotel, and only some villags and hamlets...this type of thing..is why I figured I would add the sizes. Before I changed the articles thought I would discuss as you started the formatting for the tables to make it more encyclopedic and thought I would follow the format as well, but now with a change...Kind Regards...SriMesh | talk 03:47, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello Mitchazenia, this IP you recently blocked belongs to the University of Vienna and is probably shared by hundreds of persons. I'm normally not questioning block lengths from others, but blocking it for 27 months at this time is completely unwarranted, 3-31 hours would be more appropriate. The page the IP linked isn't blatant spam, there are some scientific papers on it which even could be used as a reference in those articles. While a block as such is justified due to the number of pages the IP edited, the above factors should be reflected in the block length. Regards --Oxymoron 10:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- No problem, the block as such wasn't bad, only the length concerned me. Happy editing :) --Oxymoron 10:57, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Saskatchewan Highway 16
Thanks for the pass to GA. Have tried the peer review for this article, in two venues, general and highway peer review received little response which I fixed those. Did have different articles at league of copyeditors and no reply there. Will try this one there also see if it works better now. Get better notes at GA or FA. Maybe I'll try FA just to get comments. Kind Regards and best wishes Julia
Umm...
County Route 115 (Tompkins County, New York) - why did you make this? At the very least, NY 330 should be merged into it, but I really don't see why this exists. I also don't see why you continue to make new articles on former routes when so many horrible existing articles on active routes exist. At the end of the day, having complete coverage of active routes is more important than coverage of some route that was deleted 30 years ago, since it is much more likely that a visitor to this site will look for an active route than a former route. And if the one active route they click on has a horrible article, that doesn't leave a good first impression.
From this, it's visibly apparent that you take more pride in making new articles than fixing what already exists. New York really does not need any more expansion, especially not county routes, when so many state highway articles are incomplete. (County routes are also not inherently notable.) Every active route exists; every major former route exists. But over a third of these are sorely lacking in content. Like I've said before, if you really need to make new articles, go to a state like Vermont or Ohio where the majority of the active system has yet to be written. --– TMF 20:16, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
