[edit] Interstate 76W

  • The highway is Interstate 76, not Interstate 76W. The content from this article was merged into Interstate 76. -- Gregory Pietsch
    • First, you should not write your name after votes; you should write ~~~~ . Second, you should know that your vote doesn't count as much as most other votes because you aren't a registered Wikipedian. 66.245.124.202 19:06, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Yes I am a registered Wikipedian, I just wasn't logged in. Gpietsch 19:19, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Comment: it's actually quite simple and works completely without vfd, logins and the like: set a redirect. In fact, I'd do that myself, but I'm not sure whether Interstate 76W is a common moniker which would be a valid redirect.--Ianb 19:31, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Well, what is a better title?? Do the 2 highways go together on a single article for any reason independent of sharing a name?? 66.245.124.202 19:33, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • So...rename? redirect? Sorry. I didn't realize you were new. The best thing to do is to merge the material over to the new article, I-76, and then blank this one and type in # and then REDIRECT and then I-76. That's better than moving the page. I would assume that I-76W is just I-76 West, probably a spur off I-76. The spur should never take precedence. Geogre 21:00, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • To paraphrase "Logan's Run", THERE IS NO INTERSTATE 76W! There are two separate interstates called Interstate 76 in different parts of the country. Both are discussed in the Interstate 76 article. The I-76W article is then superfluous. 4.239.183.132 23:31, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete "Interstate 76W" is a neologism. Both segments are "Interstate 76". The Federal Highway Administration does not distinguish an E or W segment [1]. If we are to keep this article, then Interstate 76 should become a disambiguation page with both east and west segments in separate articles. But personally, I think they should remain in one article. older ≠ wiser 00:44, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • Given that the W is not officially part of the highway, try this: rename to "Interstate 76 (West)" or "Interstate 76 (Western)" or something like that, and put the Eastern Interstate 76 at somethign similar, making Interstate 76 a dis-ambiguation page. Please try whatever technic is possible. Both sections are large enough to be separate articles that are not stubs. 66.245.10.194 01:28, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
