[edit] Infobox

Ack. Yet another project using these stupid too-big infoboxes. --SPUI (T - C) 21:49, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

How exactly are they factually inaccurate? What would you do to change them? You didn't mention any solution. --Holderca1 18:48, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
We already have infoboxes - see State Road 482. --SPUI (T - C) 02:08, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Okay, but the ones we already have are no smaller. The example you provied is for a road that is only 8 miles long, of course it is going to be smaller. --Holderca1 16:13, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Actually they are smaller, as yours has a separate cities line, separate lines for counties, a separate direction line, separate lines for hidden routes, and the legend. --SPUI (T - C) 23:40, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
So it has more useful information, I had thought this was an encyclopedia. Actually, the information that you mentioned is more important than the junctions, afterall, people travel highways not to intersect other highways, but to travel somewhere such as cities or counties. The hidden routes can just as easily be removed. --Holderca1 14:51, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
An infobox is supposed to present only general information; details are for the article. Cities will be in the infobox as part of the junctions. --SPUI (T - C) 19:38, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Then shouldn't the junctions be removed? It just seems that in the infobox you linked to, keeps the more specific information and leaves out the general information. Just revised my original version, see State Road 87 --Holderca1 20:03, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
The junctions are general information, especially in a grid-based state like Florida. --SPUI (T - C) 20:10, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

(indent reset) Well, the number of junctions a road has will cause the ultimate size of the infobox, an infobox for A1A with all the junctions listed would be huge. --Holderca1 20:15, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

True, but it would be less informative. We've been having this debate in California for months too. JohnnyBGood t c VIVA! 20:56, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
So don't list all junctions. See the box on Florida's Turnpike. --SPUI (T - C) 07:08, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
So would listing junctions with just Interstates and U.S. Highways in the infobox and listing the junctions with other State Roads in the main article be agreeable? --Holderca1 15:28, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
No reason to define it like that - just several major "defining" junctions. --SPUI (T - C) 16:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
That is just very ambiguous. Obviously all interstates are major junctions. Hidden designations shouldn't be included in the infobox. --Holderca1 17:00, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alt. US 17(Jacksonville): Rail-Stub?

Why was the former Alternate US 17 in Jacksonville page given a railroad-realted stub? Is it that close to the Jacksonville Amtrak/CSX Railroad yards? DanTD 10:01, 30 July 2006 (EST)

Could you link to the article? I was unable to find it. --Holderca1 16:59, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Florida road articles up for deletion

Just thought I'd notify the members of this project that 30 or so Florida road articles have been proposed for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Route 0120 (Florida). Feel free to comment if you wish. BryanG(talk) 04:17, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:State route naming conventions poll/Part2

Your state is invited to participate in discussions for its highway naming convention. Please feel free to participate in this discussion. If you already have a convention that follows the State Name Type xx designation, it is possible to request an exemption as well. Thanks! --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 00:20, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Florida SR Userbox?

Since there's already a userbox for New York State Route projects, as you can see here:

New York State Route This user is a member of the New York State routes WikiProject.



How about one for Florida State and/or County Roads?

[edit] Project directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 22:44, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Route 309A (Florida) Afd

I thought this project might want to know about this. Route 309A (Florida) is up for AfD (See Discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Route 309A (Florida) (second nomination)0. But it's a FORMER state route even though it's still a real highway. It's now designated County Road 308B. I suggested in the AfD it be renamed as such. Maybe someone here might be interested in providing input. --Oakshade 05:08, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
