[edit] UTM to degree/minute/second conversion script

I've converted List of bridges on the National Register of Historic Places in New Jersey to degree/minute/second coordinates, via the {{coord}} template. I wrote a Perl script that does the conversion. (It's basically adapted from the PHP scripts that I'm using to do National Register database queries, along with a wrapper that does an HTTP request that gets the raw Wiki markup and substitutes the {{coord}} templates.)

I'd be willing to share the code if you think you'd find it useful. I suspect you're doing queries on your own copy of the database, so if you have the code, you can plug in the UTM to DMS converter and make it easier to generate DMS coordinates on your own. If you want the Perl script, let me know and I can upload it somewhere here. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 16:34, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't know what to do with the script :( --NE2 16:35, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Oops -- sometimes I forget that not everyone in the world is a Perl programmer. :) Are you generating the tables by hand, or through a Microsoft Access database, or something similar?
As far as the coordinate differences are concerned, I'm using the NAD27 datum since those are the coordinates in the National Register database. The difference between coordinates might be because I'm rounding the DMS seconds down to an integer. This was after a discussion where someone mentioned that having an inordinately precise number in the infobox was overkill, because one second's worth of difference is really only 18 meters or so -- I forget the exact number. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 16:45, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
You can actually see the process in the history of the newer ones like List of bridges on the National Register of Historic Places in Guam - I copy/paste from Access and then run a regex in AWB. I just did the final step on List of bridges on the National Register of Historic Places in New Jersey. --NE2 16:53, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
In other words, if you run the script on the rest of the blue links on Template:NRHP bridges I can then do the final cleaning. Thank you very much. --NE2 17:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
OK, I'm finished with the ones that are blue links in the list. I also added Venetian Causeway to the Florida list -- it isn't technically one bridge, but several bridges connected by manmade islands with pretty nice homes on them. (I skated that causeway in the Great EsSkate in Miami Beach last February.)
Since I thought of the Venetian Causeway example, I realized there may be a few other bridges that aren't listed under the name "bridge", but that are part of a bridge Multiple Property Submission. I did this query:
select refnum,resname,multname from propmain where multname like '%Bridges%' and resname not like '%Bridge%';
to find out anything that's part of a multiple property submission but isn't actually named something-bridge. One of my favorite bridges, Seventh Street Improvement Arches in Saint Paul, Minnesota, is listed under an MPS but isn't named something-bridge. Speaking of which, if you generate the Minnesota list at some point, let me know; I'd like to check it out. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 19:58, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I had forgotten about "causeway" - that's now in my search and I made sure I wasn't missing any. For the MPSes, I've missed the following:
  • Arizona: Hoover Dam, Roosevelt Dam (not really bridges)
  • New Jersey: Palatine Road Brige over a minor tributary of the Lamington River (ugh)
  • Pennsylvania: Delaware Division of the Pennsylvania Canal (covered bridges), Pithole Stone Arch, Speakman No. 1 (covered bridges)
And I had forgotten "trestle":
  • Alaska: Grant Street Trestle
I'll add these; I'm just not in the mood right now. --NE2 20:21, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

The only relevant matches for "arch" that I wouldn't have found are:

--NE2 20:35, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I went through everything that has now become a blue link in {{NRHP bridges}}. That's probably why I missed Arizona; I had checked it out at some point, making it a purple link, but I forgot that I hadn't converted it yet. Let me know if I missed any others. In the meantime, I'm going to get to work on the Minnesota list.
By the way, what would you think about expanding the "type" column or generalizing it to include some historic significance about the bridge? For example, I could mention that the Stone Arch Bridge (Minneapolis) is one of only two stone arch bridges across the Mississippi, or that half of the bulk of the Tunkhannock Viaduct is underground. It's sort of like the "summary" field we've put into NRHP county lists, like in List of Registered Historic Places in Hennepin County, Minnesota. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 03:09, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't see a problem with it. --NE2 03:10, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 17:46, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] U.S. Route 19 in Florida

I hope you realize that I've already got a sandbox for U.S. Route 19 in Florida that I've been adding material to bit by bit. If you'd like to collaborate on the article, or know of other Wikipedians who would, you and/or they are welcome to it. ----DanTD (talk) 13:48, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Parke County Bridges

Please stop adding Registered Historic Places in Indiana as a cat to the bridges of Parke County. The covered bridges category is already a subcategory of it. Thank you.

Is every bridge in that category on the NRHP? If so, what if someone writes an article about a former bridge that has been destroyed? --NE2 20:40, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
It was a Multiple Property Submission. Parke County, Indiana is extremely proud of their covered bridges, so they had everyone they still had at the time, over thirty in total, added to the National Register at the same time. Personally, I think most shoudl be rolled into the same article, as they can never be anything above stub status, btu I haven't ouyt of respect to the guy who started it, who was apparantly from Parke County. Then again, maybe he worked for them.--Bedford 20:46, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I understand that, but if someone wrote an article about a former bridge that was torn down before the MPS was made, it would belong in the bridge category but not the NHRP category. --NE2 20:47, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
The MPS was done in 1978, so any such bridge would be over thirty years gone now. I also don't remember such a bridge being in existence, so its a moot point.--Bedford 23:32, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stone Arch Bridge

I see that you created a DAB page for Stone Arch Bridge. This is worthwhile if articles are created for the two in Illinois. But you need to go through the ~60 articles currently linking to Stone Arch Bridge and change them to [[Stone Arch Bridge (Minneapolis)|Stone Arch Bridge]]. I fixed the one that's going to be on the wp:Main Page next week, but I believe it is your responsibility to spend the hour it will take to do the rest. Thanks.--Appraiser (talk) 13:27, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that; it's all fixed now. --NE2 13:42, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. I need to learn how to use Popups!--Appraiser (talk) 13:50, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Alberta Highway 1 (Trans-Canada).png

Thanks for uploading Image:Alberta Highway 1 (Trans-Canada).png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

The following images also have this problem:

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --20:16, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I fixed all except Image:Alberta Highway blank.png, because I'm not sure how to best approach that one. It looks like there's a different blank used on other Alberta highway pages which is released (incorrectly?) under a creative commons license. -- Kéiryn talk 00:44, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I discussed this at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content/Archive 35#Alberta highway signs and apparently it's public domain. --NE2 00:52, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
So essentially it's a moot point for all these images, they just haven't had the tags updated yet? -- Kéiryn talk 01:12, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
It's moot for the simple background, but not the more complicated ones. What's annoying is that I put in a proper rationale, but someone else added the image to the list of highways numbered x, and I got spammed about it. --NE2 01:29, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Yup. ^_^ -- Kéiryn talk 01:41, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Exit lists at state lines

Regarding my recent edits to Interstate 255 and Interstate 270 (Missouri–Illinois):

  1. My first edit, removing the mile column, was a legitimate screw-up. It was empty, so I didn't see the point in keeping it.
  2. My second edit, widening the state line rows and making them 1 row tall, was part intentional and part unintentional. Unintentional because Safari does not show the rows with the state lines as two rows: as such, each bridge appears only 1 row high and belonging only to Illinois and not Missouri. Intentional because it is how almost every other 3-digit interstate exit list is done: e.g. Interstate 635 (Kansas-Missouri), Interstate 280 (Illinois-Iowa), Interstate 295 (Delaware-New Jersey). The exception is Interstate 535 which is like I-270 and I-255.

[edit] Interstate 605 Map?

Could you make a svg map for Interstate 605 that uses the SR 18 map and the proposed route around Lake Sammamish? Thanks, — ComputerGuy890100Talk to meWhat I've done to help Wikipedia 17:43, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

P.S. I have just downloaded Inkscape and need some help on making maps. — ComputerGuy890100Talk to meWhat I've done to help Wikipedia 17:43, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
No, because I don't think anyone knows what the proposed route is. --NE2 17:52, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hogenakal

Hey, what do you think should be the next step on that page? Should we be filing for unprotection of the page since the issues seem to have been sorted out? Thought I'd ping you for your thoughts. Sarvagnya 00:20, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Have they been sorted out? Last I saw, two people still claim the river is not the border. --NE2 00:41, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
But from what I can tell, they dont have anything to show for it and this isnt about counting votes.. Correct? And btw, there is another issue I wanted your opinion about, which they have completely sidestepped. Do you think the citations 1 through 6 in the lead support what has been written? Sarvagnya 01:10, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Unfortunately there are enough incorrect "reliable sources" like Google Maps and the state GIS app that it's not that simple. --NE2 01:51, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Since the Google maps is at odds with maps from the Govt. of India, the Govt of Karnataka and the Govt., of TN, it can safely be ignored. And with the GIS map also, I dont see how it supports the view that the falls is in TN. If anything, the part of the river near the Karnataka-Dharmapuri-Krishnagiri border (which is where the falls is located) is not in TN at all! Sarvagnya 22:09, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
I agree with you, but they won't... --NE2 00:02, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nevada Scenic Byways

Your reason for change is "hat photo is not of the part that is a scenic byway." Actually, It is. That picture is of Spring Valley, which is east of Ely and therefore part of the Scenic Byways designation. Please restore Dave (talk) 07:46, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nevada State Route 604

Surely you jest! Can anyone really believe that making one of the most famous streets in the world a redirect is correct? This is a pure road geed rename. The common name around the world and not just locally is Las Vegas Boulevard. Articles are suppose to be at the common name and the one most used. No one in the area use SR 604! And I suspect that even fewer use it around the world. You may also want to consider renaming Nevada State Route 159. While I have not checked, neither of these have many if any signage and I drive Charleston all of the time. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Las Vegas Boulevard was redirected back in March 2007... --NE2 18:04, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
I would support reversing the direction though, but it's not a simple move. --NE2 18:33, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] State Route 278 (Utah)

And it turns out that I'm a right idiot. I didn't even notice that there were two different numbers and that 278 was going to 279. Mistakes all around that turned out OK. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 05:06, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nevada State Route 153

Out of curiosity, why does this redirect to Rainbow Boulevard (Las Vegas). It's not currently mentioned anywhere in the article.

Is it a current designation? If so, it needs to be mentioned in the article explaining why it redirects there. If not, it's not quite as crucial to be mentioned in the article, but then List of Nevada state highways should be fixed to make sure it lists it properly. -- Kéiryn talk 14:55, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Once I saw that you were the one who created the redirect, I kind of assumed that it was a former designation (of sorts) mislabeled on the list article. :-) -- Kéiryn talk 16:25, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Maps

You must be very good at making SVG maps. Would it be okay if you can make a map for county routes such as County Route S18 (California)? I ask you this because I do not know how to draw a map. (Gosh, how do you guys do it?) Dabbydabby (talk) 21:51, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I've thought about making maps for county routes and decided not to because we don't have any reliable sources for their routings. --NE2 21:54, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

So what kinds of reliable sources do you have for regular state, US and Interstate highways? Dabbydabby (talk) 22:29, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Uh, Caltrans logs... --NE2 22:50, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] USRD participants list

As discussed at WT:USRD, the participants list at WP:USRD is being split by state. Due to any of the following factors- your extended participation in WT:USRD discussions, your IRC participation, or your extended participation in Shields or Maps, I have guessed that you are a nationwide editor and have designated you as such in the USRD particpants table. This is part of the lengthy process. If this is in error, please let me know immediately. This is especially likely with this group as I have to guess whether you are a national or a state editor. Regards, Rschen7754 (T C) 21:58, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merges

Why you undo my merge Nathan? It cant go to Hollywood Frwy; because those don't match neither Hollywood Split. That page is sketchy and too short. Glendora Curve should definitely be merge to Orange Frwy because thorugh my 15 years living in Orange County I barely hear that name, and I dont think anybody does, so Glendora Curve should bee in page of SR 57 (CA). Merging does make sense for this case. Should we merge Hollywood Split anywhere? Four level Interchange and Pas Frwy is same thing if you ever been thorugh Downtown.--Freewayguy TL C 20:20, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

The Four Level is a historic structure, and should not be merged anywhere. --NE2 20:28, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
What about Glendora Curve? I never hear this name besides maps.--Freewayguy TL C 20:29, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't know, but why would it be merged into SR 57 and not I-210? --NE2 20:30, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
To be honest the only name I commonly hear is Orange Crush, El Toro Y, muy home, and Kellog Hills, maybe Newhall Pass.--Freewayguy TL C 20:31, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SR-270

Hey there. I understand everything else you're saying now (thank you for that by the way) but why do you keep removing SR-269 as a major junction in the infobox? Considering the length of the route and where it is located, SR-269 would be considered a major intersection. Right? CL — 21:44, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm not really a fan of "padding out" the infobox just because we can, but if you really feel it should be there, go for it. --NE2 08:39, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Glendora Curve

I merge it with I-210, anony keep putting it back to seperate page. I live in Orange County for over 15 years, and I barely hear this name besdies map just like Diamond Crunch, and Los Alamitos Curve-the one you vote for AFD.--Freewayguy TL C 20:06, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] U.S. Route out?

I'm just curious why you made a bunch of edits like this: changing links from their proper targets to redirects? It has nothing to do with WP:USSH. Nyttend (talk) 13:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Two reasons: US-95 is definitely long enough in Idaho for an eventual article about that portion, and in Idaho "U.S. Highway" is the standard naming. (Normally states that use "State Highway" also use "U.S. Highway" rather than "U.S. Route".) --NE2 13:58, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Interstate shields in infoboxes

Do you have any idea how to make the new shields (Image:I-15 (big).svg, etc.) show up in the infoboxes? They already do with the {{jct}} template, but I don't know what to do so they're in the infoboxes as well. Regards, CL — 18:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

If you hit "edit" and look below the edit window, you can see the list of templates on the page. Look for one with "shield"; here it's Template:Infobox road/UT Interstate shield. --NE2 18:58, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
It works! Thanks. CL — 19:16, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Whoa, thanks for fixing that before I got a beating from anyone. CL — 22:02, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reply to "Moving"

I wanted to create redirect pages, but I wanted to redirect its talk pages as well. So moving the pages and then back creates the redirects for both the article and talk page. Dabbydabby (talk) 00:10, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Moving pages is easier for me -- I don't want to type in "#REDIRECT [[TARGET ARTICLE NAME]]" all the time. Dabbydabby (talk) 00:15, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

What if a consensus has changed and they would rather move the article into the new name? They can move over a moved redirect - for example if they wanted to separate county routes by county, they can type this: County Route J4 (California) to County Route J4 (Contra Costa County, California). They are writing county route articles like this - for each county - in New York. Dabbydabby (talk) 00:19, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

It works! Thanks. Now I'll just create normal redirects. Dabbydabby (talk) 00:23, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. --NE2 00:25, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Maps

I noticed a lot of road articles in California contains maps made by you. How can we make a map? Also, how do we know the geographic location of the highways? Dabbydabby (talk) 00:36, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand what you're asking. --NE2 00:37, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll rephrase my question: How do you make a map on highways in California? I noticed each article contains a map in the infobox, and they were made by you. Dabbydabby (talk) 00:38, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I created GIS data that described the routes and exported maps. --NE2 00:40, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
This article Eastshore Freeway has no map. --75.47.196.255 (talk) 02:28, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
I know. --NE2 02:29, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Welsh Bridge

Hi, was a disambiguation page at Welsh Bridge actually needed? are you intending to create an article on the one in Iowa? If not then Welsh Bridge (Shrewsbury) is an obvious candidate to be moved back, with the Iowa one as a seealso at the top. If you are intending to create it (and therefore the disambig page would stay) then could you please also fix the links from the Shrewsbury articles? Thanks, Asdfasdf1231234 (talk) 12:26, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Whether or not I'm going to create it, it is notable. Looks like I forgot to fix the links; I'll do that now. --NE2 14:15, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing the links. Well it may be notable, but would it not have been better to create the article before making it a disambiguation page? It seems like an unnecessary disambiguation page as it stands, because there's only one actual article you can go to, so naturally it may aswell go straight to that page. Thanks anyway, Asdfasdf1231234 (talk) 19:44, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Uh...

What's the story behind this edit? -- Kéiryn (talk) 13:55, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Adding the dash. It's minor but done for consistency. --NE2 14:15, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
I didn't even notice the dash, but yeah, good idea to fix that... What's with changing Route to Highway though??? -- Kéiryn (talk) 14:25, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
That was one of the "general" fixes I was doing across Idaho, since that's the standard used by the ITD. Usually it affects the text; if the only change here were on the left side of the pipe, I would not have saved the edit. --NE2 14:27, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Do you plan to move that article to a new title then? -- Kéiryn (talk) 14:54, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Isn't "U.S. Route" the naming convention for all U.S. Routes, regardless of state? --NE2 15:41, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
That's what I thought. But if it is, then why are you creating links to a different title? -- Kéiryn (talk) 14:31, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Because one of the regexes changed "U.S. Route" to "U.S. Highway", and usually had an effect on the actual text. --NE2 18:20, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] U.S. Route 97 in Washington

If you are interseted, you may add a major intersections chart to my sandbox article, User:ComputerGuy890100/Sandbox/US 97, so I may make it into U.S. Route 97 in Washington. Thank you. — ComputerGuy890100Talk to meWhat I've done to help Wikipedia 21:59, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

There's no reason not to move it now; I'll probably add the table later. --NE2 22:00, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
It has been moved. Maybe you can do it in about 2-3 months? — ComputerGuy890100Talk to meWhat I've done to help Wikipedia 03:40, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bot acct?

I appreciate the USSH compliance work you're doing with AWB, but could you see about maybe registering a bot account so that you don't flood watchlists/recent changes? (Bot accounts for regular AWB runs have been established in precedent; User:Rschen7754bot is one such AWB bot account). Thanks. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 06:52, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Circle Interchange

Why it has to be a seperate page. That page is much of a stub, or it has enough contents. I've check the Chicago maps though I only been to the airport flying back to Orange County, and was 3 years ago, the interchange I think is where the I-290 ends. I-90/94 is Dan Ryan Expwy; so thats a good destination.--Freewayguy T C 02:17, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

No, it doesn't make any sense; it's a junction of three separate highways. Your merges are usually bad, and you should stop making them. --NE2 02:18, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Don't it have enough contents. Do they have different history, and is it a famous feature like Orange Cursh? You use to do alot of merge on California articles, like San Diego Frwy to I-405, and you told us to merge SR-210 into I-210. Huh? And Escondido Frwy nto I-15.--Freewayguy T C 02:28, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Stop. --NE2 02:29, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Recent Edits to US Routes

Apologies for questioning your editing, but being as I like to think I'm efficiency minded (well, some of the time)... I noticed that, for example, you edited U.S. Route 63 (on my watchlist, since I used to travel it a fair amount) to change various links to other U.S. Routes to, for example, U.S. Route XX (State), which are simply redirects to U.S. Route XX#State... and I have to wonder, would it not be simpler to skip the redirect and (since it appears you're using some kind of tool (apologies, not really familiar with AWB)), perhaps simply replace with the final destination instead of a page that's simply a redirect? Just curious, umrguy42 03:40, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

No, because it's likely that eventually a separate page like U.S. Route 89 in Utah (my current project) will be created. See WP:R2D for more information. --NE2 03:41, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Las Vegas Boulevard and SR 604

Re the split of Las Vegas Boulevard and Nevada State Route 604 you stated on an edit summary that "we discussed a move and made the move. If you think this ill-advised split should be done, explain why." I'm not sure why the split is "ill" advised (please AGF) but it was advised as you can see at the RM discussion. Furthermore, as you can see from that discussion and the section following, there are legitimate reasons for it. If you disagree, that's fine. (As I noted, I'm not adamant about the split myself.) But, in line with WP:COMMUNITY, please have the courtesy not to merely revert changes with the undo button. There is material in the split SR 604 article that was not in the LV Blvd article and the LV Blvd article conflates LV Blvd with SR 604 when this is not the case in fact. If you feel your case is solid, please present it at Talk:Las Vegas Boulevard and if you feel the need to revert without discussion, please do it in a constructive manner that preserves the information I have added and improves the quality of the resulting material. If you feel such work is too tedious, then leave this subject alone and and allow others to proceed with contructive changes. — AjaxSmack 19:09, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

How does having both topics covered in the same article conflate the two? We can make it clear that portions are not SR 604. --NE2 19:18, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Sure, but hitting "undo" and walking away doesn't accomplish that. — AjaxSmack 20:56, 1 June 2008 (UTC) And please join the discussion at Talk:Las Vegas Boulevard‎ going on now. — AjaxSmack 21:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Map for CR S18 (CA)

I made a map for CR S18. If you have a SVG version of the map, feel free to replace the current map. Dabby (talk) 00:30, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Should SR 9 break?

I don't know the answer. I know that a lot of the reviewers at FAC care; I know that not many GAN reviewers care. I'm still waiting for someone to tell me if the style guidelines have given up on asking editors to handle this problem themselves. - Dan Dank55 (talk)(mistakes) 22:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects for New Jersey

Why are you creating redirects with dashes in their titles? (e.g. NJ 5-4-A) Dabby (talk) 03:54, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Why not? NJ S-4-A (not 5-4-A) is an alternate way of writing NJ S4A. --NE2 04:36, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Safilguda Railway Station

Re your deprod-ing of my prod on this railway station with the edit summary 'railway stations are always notable'. Not according to WP:Notability (Railway lines and stations) which says enough referenced information to make it encyclopedic. This particular station has no referenced information at all. --Regents Park (roll amongst the roses) 18:56, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

That's not what my experience has been. --NE2 19:14, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Highland Lake(s)

I'm in the middle of scanning a book, and only really have time for little edits while the computer registers the new images. I'll get back to you when I'm done; I'm past page 270, and the book is about 300 pages. Nyttend (talk) 04:53, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Ahh, really interesting book, 320 pages, but sad to say all the covers are gone (it's from the 1800s)...okay back to why you left a message. Are you saying that Highland Lake(s) is in a situation like C/Lisco, Nebraska? I'm sure you know Alansohn; if you examine the article history, the only place where (in my understanding) the CDP name issue is directly addressed is this edit by Alansohn. Please forgive me if I'm not understanding you well or if I'm not making sense; I've not slept a ton lately, and I scanned books for eleven hours today. If this comment wasn't helpful, please let me know, and I'll try to be helpful in the morning. Nyttend (talk) 05:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
