[edit] Wisconsin

This is fallout from bug 5463. Click the image, then click through to Commons, and append ?action=purge to the URL and load the image description page. Then go back to the page with the shield and purge the same way, and if necessary do a hard refresh (ctrl-shift-R or ctrl-F5). --SPUI (T - C) 22:29, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox Wisconsin State Highway

An editor has nominated the template Template:Infobox Wisconsin State Highway (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) for deletion, under the templates for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the nomination. Your opinions on why the topic of the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome: participate in the discussion by editing Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2006 July 21. Add four tildes like this ˜˜˜˜ to sign your comments. You can also edit the article Template:Infobox Wisconsin State Highway (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) during the discussion, but do not remove the "Template for Deletion" template (the box at the top of the template); this will not end the deletion debate.

Thanks for the heads up with the junction boxes... Not much of a guideline about what's considered "major". No biggie; I'm not doing this for glory, I'm doing this for information. -jwhouk 05:49, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks again for the Infobox junction guidelines. With WIS 83, though, it gets a bit tedious because it winds through so much of SE Wisconsin.-jwhouk 03:45, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I-57

It was the preliminary number for I-43 north of Milwaukee. See Image:Interstate Highway plan October 1, 1970.jpg. --SPUI (T - C) 20:31, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright violation

You copied text from [1] into Highway 39 (Wisconsin). Please do not do this; it is illegal and reflects badly on the project. --SPUI (T - C) 23:29, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I have also removed copied text from WIS 36 and WIS 13. --SPUI (T - C) 23:38, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the point-out and for correcting. Can you look at WIS 47 as I got a blurb about the long cosigning but very shortened and brief. Is that a violation? Thanks in advance

It was a stupid mistake on my part and I should have known better on the two you saw. --master_son^{Lets talk} 20:29, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

47 looks fine - I don't see anything directly copied over. Always at least reword it like that; you may also want to look at a map, write about it, and then check against Wisconsin Highways for a second opinion. --SPUI (T - C) 20:47, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] stub

Well none of the other states use that intheir highway projects. It'd be better if they went in roads as it's easier to sort out later. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 22:46, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

ahh, see's the light.  :) Well at the rate we're going there may be a stub for the highways by next month... :D --master_son^{Lets talk} 03:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Browse

Yeah - those are an older system still used for some states. In theory long routes like I-90 will eventually be split by state (like I-95 is). --SPUI (T - C) 00:01, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

The Interstate and state infoboxes are very similar, so you could use state=WI type=Interstate. --SPUI (T - C) 00:08, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Final state highway naming conventions debate

Master son, your participation is welcome in the Wikipedia:State route naming conventions poll. Please give your input as to the process by 23:59 UTC on August 8.

[edit] User infobox - Yours vs. mine

Hello there...

Could you tell me the differences between your user infobox and mine? I would really like to know the changes you have made so that I might be able to make mine better. You can edit the one in my user space as much as you desire to make it better. I do not mind one bit. I am hoping to get this to the point where I can copy it over to Template:User infobox which has a lot fewer features. - LA @ 04:56, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WISH Userbox update

That's really cool! I'd love that for my other states as well. Thanks! Homefryes 20:26, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the upgrade! Homefryes 14:20, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox edits...

No problem; I just copied and pasted from the Interstate one, figuring no one would notice. :-) Thanks! —Rob (talk) 14:37, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] -road-stub/-Route-stub, etc templates...

I agree, changed each of the ones you mentioned. Mind you, in one case I couldn't move it to the category page, as... there was no category page. (For Vermont, I've now proposed it at WP:WSS/P.) Alai 02:09, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use?

I think that if there is absolutely no other way to reproduce it, it would be fair use... but I could be wrong, I really don't deal with images that much... --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 01:48, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UW-Platteville alumni

You can find out what are some famous UW-Platteville alumni by going to the article, then look in the lower left hand corner and click on "What links here". I used that to add alumni to my alma mater at UW-Oshkosh. I found it interesting to do my college, so I'll let you enjoy doing yours ;-) . There are several with articles in Wikipedia. I still don't see an image in the article, and the leaves are perfect here right now.

I see that you are an IT student too. I graduated from UW-O with a computer science minor in 1991. I have returned to school at Fox Valley Technical College to get into the IT-Networking field, and I graduate in May. Royalbroil ^{Talk  Contrib} 01:52, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] University of Wisconsin move

Can you be specific as to what templates are now broken? Andrewa 22:01, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Aha! Yes, I hadn't noticed the use of en-dash in the article title I copied and pasted. Thanks for pointing it out, it explains a lot. Fixed now I think... was that the problem with the templates too? Andrewa 01:22, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template links

I'm not sure what you mean by consistency - every subtemplate has a different link so that the subtemplate can be edited. By changing them all to "NC", that broke the edit links for every template and allows only one subtemplate, "NC" to be edited. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 17:21, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Wait, I think I see what you meant - you wanted to make the edit/history/watch links consistent across all of the templates. You forgot to change the links to the correct target, however. Still, I appreciate the effort. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 17:24, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infoboxes

I don't want to force a state to comply with IBR, although it would be encouraged. A taskforce might be a good idea... Interstate and U.S. Routes are actually based off IBR (if you look at the coding, that's where it leads) I'm not sure what county routes use (I know one of the WP:CACR ones uses IBR)... But yeah we p[robably should get this addressed. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 18:53, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] South Dakota shields

Could you look over the shields that you have created for SD. I have fixed quite a few. On some you forgot to convert the text to path. Most of them show the lines when you made the background of the shields. Also, could you resize the images, you made them quite huge. 385px x 385px is a good size for 2 digit signs and 385px x 480px are good for 3 digit signs. Also, you have Nebraska on all them, looks like a simple copy/paste error. Thanks. --Holderca1 23:15, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
