[edit] Interstate 70

In regards to your edits to I-70, the table that MPD put on the table is more compliant with project standards. It doesn't matter if it looks better or not; your reversion to the old table is outdated and needs to be replaced. I have reverted back to MPD's table.  V60 VTalk · VDemolitions 00:09, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] STL uni to STL edu merger

Hi Millbrooky, I support merging Colleges and Universities of St. Louis, Missouri to Education in St. Louis, Missouri, it's redundant with no need that I can see for separate articles, and should be merged soon. Evolauxia 06:17, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Munich U-Bahn

Sadly my system can't read the pdfs that are on MVG's website so I can't check the source, but there were 3 new stations opened last October which might not be included in that particular source. Could you please check if that is the case. Agathoclea 08:20, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

The PDFs on MVG's website are dated 1 Jan 2007 (April 2007 edition). I've also count 93 stations on the network map included in the article. I found the PDF at this link here. --Millbrooky 17:16, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Strange, if the previous figures were wrong then the people who maintained the German article have had a serious lapse, and they are the ones that know every piece of track. Anyway I left a message with Flo to see if he can come up with an explanation for the discrepancy. Agathoclea 19:31, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
I was refered to this where the MVG gives the other figures. In particular there they count three stations double, as they are seperate stations under the same name. (Junctions). Agathoclea 20:57, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Uta-med.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Uta-med.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 14:34, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Metrolink

Hi, I noticed your contributions to St. Louis Metrolink. The Light rail in North America has a section dedicated to St. Louis's light rail system but it is not written. What's needed is a 1-2 paragraph summary of the whole light rail system if you'd like to write it. Cheers.--Loodog (talk) 00:05, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] St. Louis WikiProjects

 Hello, I noticed you've made edits to St. Louis articles or that you are in some way connected to metropolitan area. I thought you might want to become a member of the St. Louis WikiProject. We've recently built the project page and started a drive to improve St. Louis related articles. Please take a look to edit an article or add one of your own. Once an article's status has been agreed upon, feel free to stop by and lend a hand in getting it to featured article status. Hope you can participate!

[edit] Michigan lefts elsewhere

The example I included in the article may not appear exactly like the aerial photo at the top of the article. But it is considered to be a Michigan left. Area traffic planners have used that term to refer to this location, and therefore, I feel, it is appropriate in this article. I also wish to see other examples listed here in the future. I just know of this one because I used to live nearby.

The satellite view I inserted into article is not the most perfect picture. But it is the best illustration I could find online. Anyway, this location does fit the description named in the introductory paragraph - a prohibited left turn that is replaced by a U-turn followed by a right turn.Sebwite (talk) 17:51, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] stl neighborhoods

thanks for working on the neighborhood articles. I've created a to do list for them and linked it in all the article discussion pages. None of them are really outstanding right now. If you would like to collaborate with me, we could pick one and try to bring it up to a standard good enough for the other articles to look up to. If they can reach a satisfactory level of description and informative character, I would like to create articles for the historic neighborhoods too. The problem with the downtown article is that it is the historic neighborhood not the current neighborhoods as they are broken down by the government. I lived down there, and I think there's a huge character difference once you cross tucker. I'm unsure how to address that right now though, so I'll leave it. Hope this finds you well.

[edit] Education in St. Louis, Missouri

the article for education in st. louis includes universities that are outside the city limits, but the name at least limits them to Missouri so places like SIUE shouldn't be included. So the merger with the list of colleges and universities isn't appropriate. If however a Education in Greater St. Louis article is created, then there is home for that information. You're the only active person in the stl project as far as I can see. Do give me your thoughts. DaronDierkes (talk) 05:53, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] MetroLink

are you renaming the categories in order to capitalize the L in metrolink? What about the station articles? most of them are spelled with have (Metrolink Station) as part of their title... DaronDierkes (talk) 01:04, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

The station articles all have to be renamed and redirected to match the main article. --Millbrooky (talk) 15:16, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Wow, you've done a lot of work. I noticed you moved a category, and that there are three more categories still to go that use the Metrolink name instead of MetroLink. I'd like to put in a slight objection to the categorizing of Bi-state under MetroLink because it is already under public transit which also includes the metrolink. As Bi-state runs the buses, the call-a-ride program, and the metrolink, I think it is better not to group it so low or to redundantly categorize it, but of course, no articles currently exist for the other two programs... Anyway, I'm ok with however you want to go about it. If you have the time and energy I do hope that you can look over Wikipedia:WikiProject St. Louis/Transportation which is still in its nascent phase. Edit away, any direction that can be given to the working group would be most appreciated. I'd love to start a dialouge on the talk page there too. I'm always here, if you want to talk about something or need help with a st. louis related project. DaronDierkes (talk) 03:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I've been on a tear today, and it's probably today only. As for the cats, I'll leave that up to you. Just thought that since Bi-state runs MetroLink that it should be categorized with MetroLink.

[edit] Nice work

For all the tagging you've done for WikiProject St. Louis as well as your work on transit related articles.Grey Wanderer | Talk 21:08, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Kansas City assessments

I've finally got the assessment categories working for WikiProject Kansas City and I've just run the Wikipedia 1.0 bot. I fixed the banner some time ago for assessments so everything should be in working order now. If you still feel inclined to tackle it then its all yours. You'll find the category structure at Category:Kansas City articles Grey Wanderer | Talk 23:31, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
