[edit] Title

The Florida State Roads WikiProject

[edit] Scope

This WikiProject aims primarily to encourage participation in creating or expanding articles about state highways in Florida, also known as State Roads (note the capitals). This project also aims to establish standards relating to the display of information in these articles.

[edit] Routes Worthy of Articles

The following highways can have entire articles dedicated to them:

  • Roads that are constructed, traversable, state-maintained, and signed with their own route numbers.
  • Roads that are partly constructed or partly signed.
  • Deleted roads with significant information worthy of an article.
  • Interstates that run entirely in Florida (mostly spur and loop routes). Ideally, these should also be part of this WikiProject.
  • Florida specific Interstate articles. For example: Interstate 10 in Florida

For routes that have been entirely deleted and whose number has not been reused, these should be merged onto a following articles, Former State Roads in east central Florida, Former State Roads in southern Florida, ect...

I'm still dedicated to road improvements throughouth the country, and have been adding information on roads before I joined Wikipedia, especially for New York and Florida roads.

[edit] Structure

Articles should best start with a short description of the state road. This description should say where the road begins and ends, as well as any discontinuities, as defined by law. Unique details about this road may be added, but use sparingly.

[edit] Article Naming Convention

The contents of each article in this project should reside in Florida State Road XXX, with XXX being the road number; also, State Road XXX (Florida) should redirect to the article as well.

Note: In all uses of the phrase "State Road", capitals are to be used. This includes stubs and categories and templates and lists.

[edit] Road Description

A physical description of the road should be given here. Cities and communities the road traverses should be mentioned here, as well as segments of freeway.

[edit] History

The history of this road number should be discussed here.

[edit] Highways

[edit] External Links

This is where all external links should be placed. For those relating to the route, please include the following websites. Government or official links should go first. Road enthusiasts links should follow. Example: For State Road A1A (Florida), these links would be used:

Need Florida links.

External links to points of interests should also go here.

[edit] Category Structure

All articles are placed into a category: either Category:Florida State Roads, Category:U.S. Highways in Florida, or Category:Interstate Highways in Florida. The sort key is a three digit number representing the route number.

Examples:

  • [[Category:Florida State Roads|005]]
  • [[Category:Florida State Roads|087]]
  • [[Category:Florida State Roads|241]]

[edit] Hierarchy definition

No classification of this project has been defined.

[edit] Goals

  1. Write articles
  2. Write good articles
  3. Write featured articles
  4. Make redirects listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Florida State Roads/Completion list
