[edit] Ohio State Route Articles

Hey, there – while your contributions are very much appreciated as far as starting articles, I have been following behind and doing a lot of simple clean-up items that you should be aware of:

  • Shield sizes: if 1- or 2-digit shields, they should be 20px wide; 3-digit shields are 25px wide. This is in reference to the Infoboxes.
  • Categorization: please include [[Category:Ohio state highways|XXX]] (where XXX is the route number, including leading zeros for anything below 100) at the bottom of each article. This links back to and populates the Category page.
  • Redirects: all Ohio state route articles have a redirect to them, titled State Route X (Ohio). Start the page with this title, then type the name of the article you're redirecting to in the edit box (Ohio State Route X); highlight the text you just typed; then click the #R button above the edit box.
  • Talk page: click on the discussion tab after you have created the article, and enter the following in the edit box: {{Template:Ohio State Highways WikiProject}}.
  • Plagarism: most importantly, direct yourself to the text immediately below the Save page button below the edit box! It states, "Do not copy text from other websites without permission. It will be deleted." You need to paraphrase, unless you, of course, have permission to copy it verbatim.

I don't want to come down on you, as it's really nice to see all of these "red links" go away. But there are simple things you can do to keep in line with Wikipedia's rules and with the Ohio State Highways WikiProject standards. I hope you'll take all of this constructively...and take a look at the WikiProject's standards for Ohio route articles. I'd be happy to offer any further assistance you might need. Please direct all questions to my talk page.

[edit] Akron Roads

Heard you were from the Akron area. I was wondering what State Route articles you've worked on. You're doing a great job, keep it up! --UltraSkuzzi 00:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Original state routes"

Hi; just a quick note...if Simpson's page states that a route is an "original state highway," then it was certified in 1924. This information can be found at Explanation of the Ohio State Highway System (The Unofficial Ohio State Highways Web Site) by John Simpson. Just a little tidbit for ya! Happy editing! — Homefryes Say•Do 13:45, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Special Ohio Routes

This was discussed briefly at the OHSH page, and I will post my answer to your question there for open debate. — Homefryes Say•Do 13:22, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
