Where did all the images go???? Why do you keep drasticly changing things on this page? Things were just fine (and untouched) the way they were and had been for months!!! The article provided the images with the information... no one is gonna see that media icon and click on it for the images... it needs to have the gallery like every other page included on it.Route 82 00:04, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

There was a discussion on WT:USRD a couple of weeks ago, and it was decided to put galleries on Commons instead of in the articles. The reason is twofold. First, having the gallery disrupts the flow of the article too much. Second, Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files. To quote, "Wikipeida articles are not mere collections of photographs or media files with no text to go with the articles. If you are interested in presenting a picture, please provide an encyclopedic context, or consider adding it to Wikimedia Commons." Collections of photographs don't add any encyclopedic context to the article. -- NORTH ^talk 00:34, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

To answer your question, they're now on Commons; click the link in "Wikimedia Commons has media related to: Route 55" in the infobox. --NE2 14:02, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Never mind; I see that you realized that. --NE2 14:02, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I have contacted the copyright owners of the vintage maps "R R Donnelley & Sons Company" I was given a reply from the Vice President, Associate General Counsel that I have their permission to use these maps for Wikipedia purposes. Now how do I go about putting that on the page for the map? Route 82 21:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
