[edit] Current state of construction
Can anybody give their input on the current state of construction of i-275? Particularly from Detroit, MI to Sandusky, OH. I heard they have been working on a stretch of that road for about 4 years. Is there any truth to that? ````Chaldean
- I-275 actually does not run through the City of Detroit or into Ohio. Perhaps you are referring to its parent, I-75?Thomprod 02:10, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Does anybody mind
If I decide to eliminate that tag on top. Frankly I find it quite amusing. It shows zero info why its not compliant, i mean we have the ability to write it down so folks and figure it out. Its quite commical. this is the comment on the tag, Article not compliant with current project standards. which just happens to be what the tag itself means. --Mihsfbstadium 21:10, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Do not remove the tag until it is compliant with WP:IH and/or WP:MISH. It is there for a reason, and the reason is that it isn't compliant. We require that articles be compliant, or at least try to be compliant. V60 VTalk · VDemolitions · VRoads 21:18, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- I understand that but uhm if people put tags up they need to spell out what needs compliance. Its a very simple idea and helps out other wikipedians to edit it so it can get compliant. Otherwise its a waste of space and annoying as all get out. --Mihsfbstadium 21:26, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- The tag is there because half to the whole article is not compliant. I can already say that 85% of this article is not compliant. Examples are the exit list, trivia section that should be removed, and the history section that needs to be prose. V60 VTalk · VDemolitions · VRoads 21:32, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Its fustrating to read what you are typing. Why dont you take some time and spell out what needs fixing in the tag. I wont spend my time which I could be editing pages I taged in the talk page to fix instead of argueing with you on stupid tags that some other person has been throwing on every single page in the road project. Its getting to the point of being quite annoying.--Mihsfbstadium 21:55, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Do you realize that we have all sorts of these articles all over USRD? Furthermore, do you realize how much time would be wasted trying to describe all of the problems with every single article just so an editor who is not informed about the USRD standards can understand what is going on??? --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 02:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- I could care less about your time. How about the time for the editors to first waste thier time in trying to figure out what needs to be fixed. The main thing we all want is things to be fixed. You wont get that with vague fix tags that say nothing about what needs fixing. All it does is slow down the edit progress. --Mihsfbstadium 06:41, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'll make this clear and simple. Read WP:IH and examine the structure specified by that project for Interstate articles. Compare that structure, including the section names, the order of sections, and the exit list guide, to this article. If you don't see any differences or problems with this article, then there's no point continuing this discussion. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 20:32, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite of History section
As suggested, I rewrote the History section as prose and added Wikilinks and web citations. This is my first attempt at such a large edit, so your comments are welcome. Thomprod (talk) 03:00, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
