[edit] WA state law
Since with WA the code is already mentioned in the infobox I don't think it needs to be mentioned again in the article. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 03:36, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- I missed that originally and have deleted the additional refs.
[edit] Oregon highways
I'm not entirely sure, I agree with what you're doing. The secret highway number article needs a lot of work to be a decent article, and even if it gets that work, I'm not sure it meets the standards for inclusion. I think it's perfectly fine to refer to the highways by name rather than number (or both), as that minimizes confusion when the two (or more) numbers don't match up. Perhaps an alternative would be to mention them by name in the main part of the article text, but then mention the highway numbers in a separate section elsewhere in the article.
Also, I think it would make more sense to say "Highway 11", rather than "highway number 11". It's obviously less wordy, and also takes into account that a road name should be capitalized as it's a proper noun. -- NORTH talk 23:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- That's a good idea. I might work on that later. Go ahead and keep doing what your doing for now, although consider changing the wording like I said above. -- NORTH talk 23:17, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. Your arcticles are fine. They could use some work though. Keep an eye on their talk pages. Redskunk 04:13, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
No its nothing. Just looking for phony arcticles under new arcticles and saw your work. I don't do roads I do planes. But in any case good job! Redskunk 04:37, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disappearing articles...
I figured out the issue you were having with the articles you created disappearing. It turns out that you created them under the wrong title. (Not your fault, I'm sure you probably created them using the links on State highways in Oregon.) Articles should be titled Oregon Route X, not Route X (Oregon).
No worries, I will get around to fixing them (and the main state highways page) ASAP. -- NORTH talk 23:50, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mount Hood disambiguation
Hi Dan ad nauseam. You wrote in talk:Mount Hood#Disambiguation Issue about a disambiguation page for Mount Hood a few weeks ago. FYI, I posted a query there for more information. —EncMstr 00:33, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- Never mind. Katr67 fixed it, though you might check that it is what you expected. Mount Hood, Oregon —EncMstr 03:58, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
