[edit] Hi!

Glad to see you add your name to the Participants list on WP:NJSCR, although with the editing you've been doing, it was really just a formality. *wink* You're doing a great job; I don't mind making the minor tweaks that are sometimes necessary, as you're saving me a heck of a lot of work (and time that I don't have) that I would have spent writing the infoboxes myself.

Some tips:

  • External links goes after References, and the L should not be capitalized.
  • As I'm sure you've caught on to, the SLDs are a wonderful references, and should be cited for the length using the length_ref= parameter in the infobox.
  • Make sure that any square shields (2-digit) are 20px, and any rectangular shields (3-digit) are 25px.

That's all for now, and welcome again! -- NORTH talk 21:56, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the support. I'm still new to editing on Wikipedia, so please bear with me if I make any mistakes here or there. :) --Dbm11085 23:22, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use issue with shields

I think its ludicrous, but an issue has been raised that the shields are copyright property of the respective agencies and can only be used on a fair use basis on articles about the NJTP, GSP, ACE, etc., not on any other articles. I know you're new and the last I'd want to do is create problems for a new user, so I was checking before biting. Welcome aboard, we've made major progress on NJ roads, but there's still plenty to do. Alansohn 02:33, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I appreciate it. --Dbm11085 02:57, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Jersey Route 166

A reminder that Dover Township was renamed Toms River, New Jersey, as of the November 2006 elections. Any SLDs will still show Dover Township. Alansohn 04:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your changes to Rhode Island Route 2

Please read WP:USSH. The text should display the "Route 112" form, and the links should not be changed even if the displayed text is kept the same. Thank you. --NE2 05:49, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Now I know. *shrug* --Dbm11085 06:08, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Major RI routes

I don't have any specific criteria in mind but anything that is an expressway for sure is major. And maybe some of the longer principal arterial roads. I would say all U.S. Routes, Interstates, and RI Routes 2, 4, 10, 24, 78, 102, 114, 116, 138, 146. By the way, thanks for putting up infoboxes. I was planning to get around to RI but I'm still stuck in CT. --Polaron | Talk 01:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:NJSCR Newsletter #3

The New Jersey State and County Route Newsletter
Issue 3 – March 2007
Issue #3

The third issue of the WP:NJSCR newsletter celebrates the completion of infoboxes for all current state routes. Congratulations team!
Project News
  • All current state routes now have an infobox. Route 183 was selected to represent the project in the header as the last article to receive one.
  • Now that we have that done, what's left? Plenty! A to-do list has been posted on the project page, with a more detailed version at WT:NJSCR#To-do list. The simple version:
    • Ensure that all freeway exit lists are up to exit list guide standards.
    • Make sure all infoboxes have the new maint= parameter.
    • Make sure the straight line diagram is properly referenced in the infobox.
    • Add a major intersections table to each article.
Member of the Month
  • The member of the month is Alansohn, who had the fantastic idea for a "final run-through" and the to-do list.
Want to help on the next newsletter? Don't want to receive these in future? Don't want it transcluded next time? – It's all here. -- NORTH talk 21:10, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alice Cooper and Friends

I'm a bit confused about your edit there. You added tags to have the article wikified, but in the process blanked the page, this leaving nothing to be wikified in the first place. If you used a bot I think it's not functioning right... Lomedae talk15:41, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

totally clear, my problem was that this wasn't apparent from the edit history :-) If you blank text,m please do mention this in the comment and/or the talk page for the other editors. I started a cleanup of the article as it is, seeing as you own an actual copy you could perhaps expand the tracklist to include the other bands. Lomedae talk 19:30, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
