[edit] Article names

Currently most articles are at the naming convention Georgia State Route X, though most of those created in the past month or so have been at State Route X (Georgia). I think the first thing we need to do is come to a consensus on the names so we can avoid any nastiness.

I personally would be okay with either name, but would lean slightly in favor of State Route X (Georgia). –Pedriana 02:57, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

As if it needs to be said, I prefer State Route X (Georgia). --SPUI (T - C) 23:11, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
I prefer "Georgia State Route x". --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 16:34, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm also okay with either, but my vote would go to State Route X (Georgia)--mainly because the List of Georgia Numbered Highways already links to State Route X (Georgia) pages; also, when many people verbally talk about routes, it is usually either in the form "Georgia XX" or "State Route XX".--HowardSF 03:26, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] North end of SR 24

If anyone has anything to add to the discussion at Talk:State Route 24 (Georgia), please do. --NE2 03:25, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Slightly modified infobox

I have hacked the branch functionality into infobox road: see User:NE2/temp. This approach allows for greater flexibility, in that some bannered routes are duplicated and need to be linked individually. It also allows for greater consistency; if a new SR 40 Bypass is designated, it only needs to be added to one template, Template:Infobox road/GA bannered/40. Please comment. --NE2 01:47, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Please. Can someone comment, or should I start implementing it? --NE2 04:32, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I've made it even simpler; all one has to do is create Template:Infobox road/GA extrabrowse/num (as linked from Wikipedia:WikiProject Georgia State Routes/Completion list) and then make redirects from those templates for the branches, and it will automatically show up on articles that already use infobox road. See State Route 40 and State Route 404 Spur. --NE2 10:49, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I like this new setup. It looks cleaner than the default used by {{Infobox GA State Route}}, I must admit, and in fact by adding this in, {{Infobox road}} now does everything the other one does (and with slightly more flexibility, to boot, thanks to its ability to handle more than one banner of a certain type, as you mentioned). –Pedriana (talk) 14:54, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I've replaced all the uses of Template:Infobox GA State Route. --NE2 08:56, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[1] should give all that still use a generic infobox road. --NE2 08:59, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

What should be under the "Junctions:" tab? I've used it to signify junctions a state route has with an interstate, but I've noticed that others have used it just for major cities. --HowardSF 02:01, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:State route naming conventions poll/Part2

Your state is invited to participate in discussions for its highway naming convention. Please feel free to participate in this discussion. If you already have a convention that follows the State Name Type xx designation, it is possible to request an exemption as well. Thanks! --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 00:21, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:SRNC page moves

I've started on the page moves, but I'll need admin assistance for Georgia State Route 341 and Georgia State Route 370.

By the way, what about pages like State Route 25 Connector (Savannah, Georgia)? What would be the appropriate new name for these – Georgia State Route 25 Connector (Savannah)? –Pedriana (talk) 19:20, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Correct. What assistance is needed for the above pages? --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 02:44, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
The existing redirects at those titles need to be deleted to allow those moves to go through. –Pedriana (talk) 03:57, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Pages deleted. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 02:07, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Moves are now complete with the two exceptions listed above. –Pedriana (talk) 04:17, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Project directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 22:45, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 16:00, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TfD nomination of All USRD Clean-up Templates

All of the USRD Clean-up Templates have been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. master sonT - C 16:47, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed deletions (WP:PROD)

  • 19 September 2007 - expires 24 September
    • Expressways in Metro Atlanta (PROD by User:NE2; PROD nominator states: "What's the point of this?" This is a listing of U.S. and Georgia State routes in the Atlanta metropolitan area.) --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 14:42, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reminder from USRD

In response to a few issues that came up, we are giving a reminder to all state highway wikiprojects and task forces:

  1. Each project needs to remain aware of developments at WT:USRD and subpages to ensure that each project is aware of decisions / discussions that affect that project. It is impossible to notify every single project about every single discussion that may affect it. Therefore, it is the state highway wikiproject's responsiblity to monitor discussions.
  2. If a project does not remain aware of such developments and complains later, then there is most likely nothing USRD can do about it.
  3. USRD, in most to nearly all cases, will not interfere with a properly functioning state highway wikiproject. All projects currently existing are "properly functioning" for the purposes mentioned here. All task forces currently existing are not "properly functioning" (that is why they are task forces). Departments of USRD (for example, MTF, shields, assessment, INNA) may have specific requirements for the state highway wikiprojects, but complaints regarding those need to be taken up with those departments.
  4. However, this is a reminder that USRD standards need to be followed by the state highway wikiprojects, regardless of the age of the wikiproject.

[edit] Sign Colors

The Georgia State Route 520 article explains why the sign is green; why doesn't Georgia State Route 515 explain why that sign is blue? (I'm not a Georgian or a WP account holder; I was just passing thru, got curious about it, couldn't find an answer, and thought someone who knows ought to rectify the situation.)
