Also, could you tell me how you found out Highway 51C "died"? I haven't seen anything else on the Internet about it.

[edit] OK-108

Looking good so far, I've added some links and the infobox. (Sorry about the broken graphic link at the bottom of the infobox - I can't upload images from the computer I'm at; I'll fix it ASAP.) The images we have right now are in SVG format, which can be resized better and takes up less space than PNG. (You can get a free SVG editor called Inkscape.) The existing images are on Wikimedia Commons, and are all shown at Oklahoma state highway shields. They aren't exactly conformant to the standards (I made them before the standards were posted, and somehow they ended up off-center), but they'll probably be replaced soon by more accurate ones.

We generally don't put shield graphics before or after the links in the article, because it distracts from the flow of the text. Shield graphics are used, however, in infoboxes and freeway exit lists.

You can find other stuff to help you at Wikipedia:WikiProject Oklahoma State Highways. Thanks for your help! ...Scott5114 18:10, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The infoboxes

I thought you might want to know that I made a change to the Oklahoma highway infoboxes. They now automatically calculate the length in kilometers for you, so you don't have to specify anything for length_km. The only drawback is you can't put references or things like ½ in the length_mi field, but that's a small price to pay for the convenience of not having to look the conversion up :) ...Scott5114 21:06, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

It's using 1 mi = 1.609344 km, but rounding the answer to 2 decimal places...Scott5114 02:06, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:OK-33.JPG

Hey, I replaced this image with a free SVG, Image:Ok-33_path.svg and put it in the OK-33 article. Would you mind overmuch if I took the Google Earth image to IFD so it can be deleted?

Also, I found the SVG 3A shield you uploaded to Commons and fixed it so now it displays properly. The Wikimedia servers don't have the Roadgeek fonts on them, so instead you have to convert the text to vectors to get it to show correctly after it's uploaded. In Inkscape you select the text and hit Ctrl + Shift + C...Scott5114 08:41, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
