[edit] re: Highway 16
No problem. I just happen to live in the La Crosse area and saw it in recent changes, so I had to read it out of curiosity. Incidently, when you post on talk pages you should sign your post by adding ~~~~ at the end - this is so people can easily see who the post is from. Happy editing! BryanG 06:56, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Note to self: gotta remember the ~~~~ when making entries on talks. Thanks again, BryanG. jwhouk 19:21, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WIS 83
Just wanted to give you a "heads up." I had placed state route junctions on other highways and they were removed by others later that week. WIS 15 for example because the editor felt that "it wasn't major enough." Just wanted to warn you. --master_sonLets talk 22:41, 4 August 2006 (UTC) - Gotcha, and thanks.--jwhouk 05:47, 7 August 2006 (UTC) I added a junctions guideline to the project page for the junctions. It is located in the Infoboxes section of the project page. Good work on the new articles so far. --master_sonLets talk 02:05, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Final state highway naming conventions debate
Jwhouk, your participation is welcome in the Wikipedia:State route naming conventions poll. Please give your input as to the process by 23:59 UTC on August 8.

[edit] Highway photos - just a note...
You recently placed an image on Wisconsin Highway 120 I ran into problems with users removing galleries of images from route articles (I-43 and Marquette Interchange for example) The best solution is to link to the Commons. There is a setting in the routebox for doing so. just add |commons=category to link to the commons category Wisconsin Highway 120. -- master_sonTalk - Edits 00:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the help. Is there an example of how to do this for the individual article? jwhouk 06:28, 14 May 2007 (UTC) -- Never mind, found it. Fixed the problem with what you suggested. Looks nicer, too. jwhouk 06:32, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Tennessee 109.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Tennessee 109.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 20:10, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

I was wondering, for the Wisconsin Highways, do you think we could have a template for it similar to the US highway one? Whsitchy 23:37, 9 June 2007 (UTC) That's something you should take up with the people at the USRD section.jwhouk 01:27, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] An important letter
Dear roads editor,
You may have noticed some changes at WP:USRD lately. Some of them, like the cleanup templates and the stub templates, have been astounding and great. Unfortunately, others have been disturbing.
This has become evidenced by the departure of a few prominent editors at USRD, a few RFC's, and much fighting among USRD editors.
After the second RFC, many of us found the opportunity to take a step away from Wikipedia for a while--as a self-imposed wikibreak, or possibly on vacation.
The result of such introspection was that many of us were placing ourselves in a "walled garden" and on a self-imposed pedestal of authority over the roads department. Also, we were being hostile to a few users who were not agreeing with us.
In fact, IRC has been the main incarnation of this "walled garden." Decisions have been made there to conduct grudges and prejudices against a few valued USRD users with poor justification.
For this, we have come to apologize. We have come to ask your forgiveness.
In addition to this, we hope to work as one USRD team from now on and to encourage cooperation instead of the promotion of interests.
All users are welcome to collaborate on IRC, the newsletter, or anywhere else at USRD.
In the future, please feel free to approach us about any issues you may have.
Regards,

[edit] USRD Inactivity check and news report
Hello, Jwhouk. We had a few urgent matters to communicate to you:
- Please update your information at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Participants, our new centralized participant list. Those who have not done so by October 20th will be removed.
- There are important discussions taking place at WT:USRD relating to whether WP:USRD, WP:HWY, or the state projects should hold the "power" in the roads projects.
