San Diego Highwayman

You may want to chime in on this discussion. Bovlb (talk) 05:09, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Louisville, Colorado POV concerns

NE2, a few months ago you indicated some POV concerns about Louisville, Colorado. I began a discussion about them on the talk page a couple of weeks later. Another editor, User:Brainerror138 had some concrete suggestions for repair, and yet another user, Aetheling (talk), has attempted to fix all of these problems. To date, no one else has evaluated the article, or commented one way or the other. Brainerror seems no longer to be contributing. Could you please revisit the article and, if you think the issue has been resolved, remove the NPOV flag?

Thanks! -- Ken g6 (talk) 18:12, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

WT:USRD and CASH state law

I assume that the consensus was to remove the state law sections? Then WP:CASH should be updated. --Rschen7754 (T C) 23:00, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Image:E-470.svg

I recently uploaded the shield for E-470 at the Commons; an svg image using Inkscape as you told me some time ago. Something is wrong with it as you can see. Why is it that on Inkscape, the numbers are okay, but when the image is uploaded, it appears as a blank white rectangle instead? If you know how, can you tell me how to fix that on Inkscape, or do it by yourself if you prefer it that way? ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 05:54, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh, thanks for saying the SVG was good. For the SVG, the only thing I really need to work on is making the typeface bold, as it normally appears on all E-470 shields. I'll do that as soon as I have time (most likely during President's Day weekend.) But again, thanks. :) ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 01:38, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Although it took me many attempts, I've finally uploaded a newer version of Image:E-470.svg. How is this? 04:23, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I'll fix that as soon as I have more time. ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 04:31, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

About that image E-470.svg

I remember you told me that the image E-470.svg is copyrighted, but it can still be uploaded to Misplaced Pages under the non-free images category, right? ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 00:54, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Inkscape

Oh, and for future reference, could you give me steps on how to convert any text into paths? (That is, if that's okay with you.) ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 00:54, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Misplaced Pages:Deletion review/Log/2008 February 10

I removed your requests because it seems that you have not added a rationale for your requests and it's been more than 20 hours already. Please don't add something to the deletion review unless you are ready to present your case. I would also suggest that when your ready, readd the deletion review case to the current date, as I think it is also in your interest for the deletion review to run its full course, as it should. Yamamoto Ichiro 会話 05:06, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Ah, Thanks for clarifying. I think the reason that nobody commented on the deletion review so far is probably because the nomination statement was rather vague and probably there were other people who have interpreted your statement the way I did. I would probably still recommend a renom under the current date just to make sure that other people understand what your trying to say in a full 5-day period. Yamamoto Ichiro 会話 05:13, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Actually it occurred to me that I don't think you even need to run those images through DRV if your goal is to recreate rather than undelete, as it is probably just faster and easier that way. If you can address the issues to why the images were deleted in the first place I don't think it is necessary, unless you really think having the deleted history is helpful. Yamamoto Ichiro 会話 05:20, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Ok, I have uploaded the deleted images to a third party image host. and . Hopefully this helps. Yamamoto Ichiro 会話 07:05, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

DYK for CA 139

Updated DYK query On 11 February, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article California State Route 139, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Nice work lately! --Daniel Case (talk) 06:03, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Interstate 210 and California State Route 210

REMINDER: Interstate 210 (California) and California State Route 210 has been merged together. You might need to draw a new map for that article if you agree with the merge. ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 23:35, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

SR 57 (CA)

You might made possible changes to the future sections on SR-57. Allright, I saw you change the establish dates to 1964, I thought is made in March 1972? I thouhgt they are not going to exted the 57 Frwy South at all. Too many people in Fountain Valley is not accepting it for varieties of reasons. Thats what I've been told.--Freewayguy (Meet) 00:14, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Do you live or work in California? You seem familiar enough with California Highways. I thought you live in New England states.--Freewayguy (Meet) 00:39, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: NJ 163

Whoops. Thanks for the catch, you didn't specify what bridge and neither did the article, so I just used the only bridge linked. I'll fix it now.32 00:31, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Fixed, sorry about the huge sig, just a test.32 00:34, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Triple Crown

I think you might be eligible to be nominated for a Triple Crown. WP:CROWN details the requirements, but in brief for each TC set awarded, an editor needs to lay claim to a DYK, a GA article and a piece of featured content (FA article, feature photo, etc). I know you qualify with many DYKs, and I'm sure you qualify on the others. I can help you with the nomination if you'd like. --Imzadi1979 (talk) 19:12, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I honestly don't care. I'm here to write articles, not level up. --NE2 22:47, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions! Nishkid (talk) 04:05, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

East Papago TI

That's the only source I found for the name, so I will mark the article for deletion. My apologies; I should have looked for at least one other source that called it that name before creating an article. Rko202 (talk) 01:28, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

U.S. Route 395 in Oregon

May I ask why was it necessary to fix a target link in the infobox and turn it into a redirect link? ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 03:40, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for fixing my mess up at the noticeboard. I must have edited an old version without realising it, very embarrassing. Great that you noticed it and fixed it so quickly, thanks again! JdeJ (talk) 08:17, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Your solid works to California highways

I'm just curious Where you live? In Vermont? Massachsetts? You seem you know all the exits in California. How old are you? You ever been to Los Angeles, California before?--Freewayguy (Meet) 20:44, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

      • I live in Pleasegoworkon, Existingor, New Articles. --NE2 02:44, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
        • Man, NE2, you're that protective of your location of where you live? If you want Freewayguy to stop asking you that question, I suggest that you should just tell him what state you live in. No one will stalk you if all we know is your state. Also, realize the fact that your IP address has been recorded on Misplaced Pages's servers; therefore, checkuser might reveal your IP address, thus giving us a clue about the city you live in. ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 02:48, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
          • I don't think that will happen. Stop harassing me. --NE2 02:49, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
            • I'm not asking you to tell me where you live; I don't care about where you live. I'm suggesting that you tell Freewayguy. And if you want him off your back, lie... but select a location that isn't as ridiculous as "Pleasegoworkon, Existingor, New Articles." ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 02:56, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
              • Yeah, I don't think he'd believe me... but for the sake of argument let's say I live in Indianapolis. Freewayguy, pretend I live in Indianapolis, am 34 years old, and ride a motorcycle. --NE2 02:58, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

May I help?

What's up, NE2. Anything I can do to assist you with that dispute? ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 02:47, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Short tempers, at least on my side, have turned a teapot into an ocean. I'll just try to show a bit more restraint. Sorry. --NE2 02:50, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
That's cool, NE2. Happy editing. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 02:54, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey, sorry for that terse warning a little earlier. I didn't realize just how much of a vet you are and that there was prior history. Happy editing, bro. east.718 at 03:10, February 21, 2008

I don't know... the implication that it's OK for vets to harass each other isn't necessarily a good one. --NE2 08:34, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Please Respond to my latest question.

NE2, if you're still on line. I have included the results of a field trip at ]. I have also stated, what I believe is what I should to with the Nevada project. Please comment. Although we have locked horns before, I do value your opinion, and would like to know if you agree with what I proposed.Davemeistermoab (talk) 05:12, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh and another thing. I also got a decent picture of downtown Sacramento taken from the U.S. Route 50 in California/Interstate 305 (California) bridge over Interstate 5 and the American River. If you are interested, I' will upload to commons. I also noted that at the CA88/89 junction, the control cities are listed as Woodfords/Marlkeville to the west and Kirkwood/Jackson to the east. the CA49/US50 junction in Placerville lists Columa and Gold Run. I couldn't see the ones southbound due to construction.Davemeistermoab (talk) 05:17, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Dubai: Is it a road or a highway?

You added {{HWY}} to several articles about roadways in Dubai. I removed them on the basis that "the road is not a highway and does not fall under WikiProject Highways." Then, you reverted that change by saying "This is a highway." I will agree that D 75 is a highway (although only part of it can be considered a highway). But, for D 85 and D 92 I still disagree with you. They are just normal arterial streets and are not considered highways. I think {{HWY}} should be removed from their respective talk pages. But, before we begin an edit war, we should discuss the issue. I would be interested to know your reasoning for calling D 85 and D 92 highways.

U.S. Route 50 in California

Stop the edit warring, please. Continuing to do so could result in page protection or blocking of your account. Please use the talk page to reach consensus for changes that others disagree with. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:46, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

There's already consensus at WP:LEAD#Bold title. See Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Highways 2/Proposed decision#Guidelines. --NE2 01:49, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
It does not matter that somebody is right; It is still a content dispute, and edit warring solves nothing. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:50, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Then how would you suggest applying said general guidelines? --NE2 01:52, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Have you tried talking with the user on a talk page? - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:53, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Yes, at WT:MDRD among other places. --NE2 01:54, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
I see nothing there about this dispute specifically. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:56, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Roads in Maryland#<national highway> in Maryland articles --NE2 01:57, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

(unindent) Ah, sorry, I missed that. Well, if there is a clear consensus and this user is going against it, revert warring isn't appropriate. In the future, I'd recommend making a note at WP:ANI. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:58, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I thought blocking was only for vandalism and edit warring (which applies to both sides)? --NE2 02:01, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
I've warned you both to stop reverting. Even if you are reverting to a consensus version of a page, it is unacceptable to revert-war. - Rjd0060 (talk) 02:03, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm asking what admins would be able to do if I took it to ANI. It's not vandalism, so they can't block for that, and since each side does the same number of reverts, a block for revert warring would be hypocritical. --NE2 02:06, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Although you are reverting to a consensus version of a page, you cannot edit war. The key is that you seem to have a consensus for the version that you are reverting to. Just don't revert anymore, k? - Rjd0060 (talk) 02:08, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
So how can I implement the guideline if AL2TB insists on ignoring it? --NE2 02:09, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution is something you can explore. Also, if he continues, leave a note at WP:ANI like I said, and be sure to link the discussions which show the consensus. - Rjd0060 (talk) 02:11, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
And what would ANI do? They can't block for vandalism, since it's not, and if they blocked for edit warring I'd be blocked too. --NE2 02:12, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Don't edit war, and you won't be blocked. You haven't technically violated WP:3RR yet. - Rjd0060 (talk) 02:14, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Don't edit war, and the guideline doesn't get implemented. What other option do I have? --NE2 02:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
This is a spot where Misplaced Pages does lack a guideline - what to do when editors make good-faith edits that damage the encyclopedia. --Rschen7754 (T C) 02:20, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

(unindent) I'm not sure what else to say, that I haven't said already. Take my suggestion and do not revert anymore. If he continues going against a consensus version, make a report at WP:ANI. It will be taken care of. - Rjd0060 (talk) 02:18, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm asking how it will be taken care of. What will be done about it? --NE2 02:19, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Okay. I've taken a closer look at this entire situation, and a number of ongoing discussions. There are a number of things going on here, pertaining to a content dispute relating to manual of style problems. I will not comment on the dispute itself, however, I will reiterate if you continue to edit war (i.e. violation of WP:3RR), no matter "who is right", you will both be blocked for that edit warring. I invite you both to continue discussion in a civil manner. - Rjd0060 (talk) 02:30, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
