[edit] Routeboxes
For the primary Interstates please only put Interstates into the routebox. This is due to size limitations. For the secondary interstates you can probably put more in there, and for the really long ones you may need to only put 2 digit interstates into the routebox. Thanks! --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 01:40, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- Please follow the guideline above. I will be deleting the junctions that are not Interstates. If you have any questions ask them here. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:33, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New England Patriots
I reverted your recent change to New England Patriots. Currently the article is on FAC, and if it does get promoted to featured article status, we will most likely make the rest of the NFL team articles more consistent to that one—not the other way around. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 19:26, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Streets in L.A.
Thanks for your help in correcting links and such for my articles.

[edit] World Series teams
Are the categories for members of World Series champions really necessary? I can't help thinking it would be more economical to simply include the roster of the champion team in the article for that year's World Series (most of the WS articles could use some serious expansion). There's already something of a glut of categories on some articles, including those for baseball players with numerous All-Star appearances. (Between All-Star games and WS champions alone, Yogi Berra would end up with 25 categories, in addition to another 15 already on his page.) I don't think it's advantageous to have that many categories on an article; at some point, it gets difficult to wade through them, and individual categories become easy to miss.

[edit] Interstate 10 in California
I have reverted this edit, as the point of the other column is for a running total of the mileage. I'll do that at some point - see Interstate 80 in California for an example. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 03:29, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] okanogan
Hi there, How come you changed Okanogan County's location to "northeast" of counties it's north of? Thanks --Lukobe 18:10, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] World Cup goalscorers
Hi, thanks for your help updating this article. When I'm at work I'll have to hope somebody does it to keep it up to date. I take it you've noticed the 'correct after' bit at the start? By the way, I'm not giving that goal to Crespo until FIFA's panel adjudicate, it looked like a nailed on own goal by Borgetti. Mjefm 22:31, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kudos
Nice work on all the California roads stuff. User:David Jordan
[edit] Congresses
Thanks for all your disambig corrections on the Congress articles. I'm gradually going through and trying to edit all the links, but it will take time...and I appreciate your help. Don't spend a lot of time on the Senate classes in the 40's congresses. I have all the work done, just havn't uploaded because I'm editing the name links first. stilltim 20:51, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Alemany Maze
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Alemany Maze, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

[edit] Congresses
Thanks for all your work on Congresses. I'm doing a lot of similar work (especially sorting senators and members by state). I'm using these headers instead of the (===Alabama===) type headers. I'm gradually migrating toward that goal for all of them. If you could use these for initial sorts just as easily, it would save some time on my part. (There is some disagreement about which delegation articles to link to, but changing that is relatively easy compared to changing from this style (===Alabama===). I'm not aware of any disagreement about linking vs. just a header.) Thanks. Appraiser 22:04, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:SantanaAlbum.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:SantanaAlbum.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] County templates
Thanks for your work, creating all the Oregon county templates! Just one question: what kind of Rush do you like? The infobox links to a disambiguation page. Nyttend 15:53, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] TfD nomination of Template:1969MLBPlayoffs

[edit] U.S. Route 93 in Nevada
You may want to add some content to that article. With just an infobox, it would be a speedy delete if nominated. Vegaswikian (talk) 06:18, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed. Please add more than just an infobox. --NE2 11:38, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- And why are you creating all these redirects like U.S. Route 64 in North Carolina? --NE2 11:39, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] California jcts
I revert all your changes to California highways by adding jcts on infobox. Note that 6 to 10 is only the maximimum limit, and it is unnecessairly. Only the most major intersection and cities belong on infobox. CA has this rule becasue there is many state route connect to the highway and all the routes is list in the tables. On routebox we only need the nutshell (not general cities) and most major intersection. By listing to detail and too many is a bit of stretch.--Freewayguy (Webmail) 00:12, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Please do not add those junctions back to the routebox again. Possibly the WP:CASH have changed. I notice you have been on Wiki for 3 weeks. In California the hihgway maybe works little different from other states (I don't know). I'm not an expert on US Highways California highways only basically Souterh California Freeway (Metro-Los Angeles Orange County).--Freewayguy (Webmail) 01:53, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
