[edit] What about spurs and links?

Do we do one big spurs and links article or do we do one for each and every one? 90% of them (at least) don't have much of a description other than they are a spur to city X from Highway Y. It would seem easier to just do a large graphic article than one on each of the ones in the highway system. DandyDan2007 05:02, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

I can't see spur and link routes getting their own articles - If I'm correct (I'm not too familiar with Nebraska) they're Nebraska's version of "county routes" so to speak. Most county highways should not get their own article depending on the number of routes. --• master_sonLets talk 05:58, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
They are a part of the state highway system. A link describing them is at http://www.dm.net/~chris-g/ne-spur.html . I would personally compare them to Missouri's supplemental routes, only not so extensive. DandyDan2007 06:54, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the clarification. Unless you have enough detail on each route, an article for each route is overkill. --• master_sonLets talk 15:16, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What about discontinuous routes?

Should they get 1 infobox for each section or 1 for the whole route? DandyDan2007 05:08, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

probably one article - though i think that can be negotiable. --• master_sonLets talk 05:59, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 16:03, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Added Highway 2

I thought it was best to do each section of Highway 2 with an infobox for each section. Not sure if that was the best idea, as I had nothing to go on as a basis to decide whether that was a good idea. But it seemed better than one big infobox for a highway with 2 distinct sections. I hate to imagine how much space goes to infoboxes on the three-part (or is it 4 part?) Highway 66. DandyDan2007 12:08, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Lets keep it to 1 infobox per article - seperate the route by section in the junction list by a <hr> with the termini being the farthest left to farthest right (assume looking north or west ;) ). Then use the article itself to state where the intermediate termini are (I assume that most of it was supplanted by a US route or I-80?) • master_sonLets talk 00:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox question

Since there is no NE 30, as there is a US 30, should I fix up the infoboxes such that if the next route is a US route? Currently, on the Nebraska Highway 31 page, the previous route is Nebraska Highway 29 and really, it should be US 30. DandyDan2007 21:34, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Per WP:USRD/INNA, the previous route for NE 31 should be US 30. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 21:41, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
