Thanks for taking the time to review the Thrud article. I've been thinking about FACing it, but will act on your suggestion to expand the lead before doing so. GDallimore ( Talk) 11:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
New York City Meetup
|
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, and have salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).
Well also make preparations for our exciting Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, a free content photography contest for Columbia University students planned for Friday March 28 (about 2 weeks after our meeting).
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.
You're also invited to subscribe to the public
Wikimedia New York City mailing list, which is a great way to receive timely updates.
This has been an automated delivery because you were on
the invite list.

Hey, you disappeared from IRC right after you tipped me off about the stubs. I merged the two CR 516 bannered routes into the main CR 516 article. I figured I'd let the Monmouth County routes sit around for a bit, seeing as how they at least have a history section. (Who knows? I think that even qualifies them for Start-class as is!) -- Kéiryn talk 03:56, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, sure thing. I'll set up the page on Friday and I'll update you around that time. Rudget . 11:17, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
380 shouldn't be too tough for me. In fact, I thought about stopping and snapping a picture of the NY 394/CR 380 intersection in Falconer yesterday, but I didn't do it. I'll will try to get that photo, or another one, sometime soon.
I don't get down near CR 58 too often, but I'll make a mental note of it and try to remember my camera the next time I do get down that way. :) Skudrafan1 ( talk) 20:19, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello, and thanks for your support in my recent RFA! The final result was 61/0/3, so I've been issued the mop! I'm extremely grateful for your confidence in me and will strive to live up to it. Thanks again! — Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 07:46, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for contributions to the project, Great work, especially on 1983 Atlantic hurricane season - very nice use of free-use images, and good referencing. May you wear the crowns well. Cirt ( talk) 10:47, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the support | ||
It's been a great two years - we had some rough patches for the first, oh, 23 months of it ;) But, I very humbly thank you for being a good colleague and friend, and I thank you for nominating me. Well, we didn't quite make it to WP:100, but 92/2/2 isn't too shabby! I've already deleted one of my useless sandboxes (a redirect), and I plan on using my adminship tools appropriately and occassionally, so I can keep my status in the top ten of featured contribution lists. Thanks for the barnstar, too, and the only way it would have been topped would have been a guaranteed winning spot on TPIR ;) ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 23:21, 17 March 2008 (UTC) |

Reading around on Wikipedia, I had noticed, on the US Roads WikiProject page, that a new newsletter had came out back in mid-Febuary, but I had never gotten it on my talk page. My name is even on the list saying that I should be recieving them. I figure I would say something, in case there was a glitch or something. Thanks :) Whammies Were Here 04:07, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey, been really busy during tax season which has kept me away from editing more regularly. Was wondering though if you were going to update Routes 1-38, Routes 41-75 like you did for Routes 76-118A? If not, I'll do them in a couple weeks, but I figured you may want first crack at it to keep it as consistent as possible. Let me know! Also, thanks for making some updates to the PIP page to help get it to GA status. - Airtuna08 ( talk) 17:01, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I've reviewed the article and left notes on the talk page. I've put the nomination on hold for seven days to allow the issues to be addressed. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, here, or on the article talk page with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.
If you're going to nominate more New York articles for Good Article status, I ask that you ensure that all of the issues that I am currently fixing on all current NY Good Articles and GANs (as shown on User:TwinsMetsFan/to do) are not present on new nominations. Thanks. -- TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 20:51, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello there. Regarding these articles. Thinking of the prose and community table. I put help me on the talk page to see if I could get the town sizes and citations added differently but how I cited it is the wiki way. Maybe if in the community table, instead of just the town name, I added the size also...then the prose would flow better and wouldn't stop with all the mentions of the stats. The size I added for most communities as the number of residents rather determine whether all services are present...ie if you were traveling down the road....a village/hamlet of 100 or 200 is not going to have a service station providing gas after 5 pm probably, and maybe not even have a gas station at all. A town of 500 folk may have this service but not all hors, and a city will have evening, and probably all night service. A town will have a hotel, and only some villags and hamlets...this type of thing..is why I figured I would add the sizes. Before I changed the articles thought I would discuss as you started the formatting for the tables to make it more encyclopedic and thought I would follow the format as well, but now with a change...Kind Regards...

Hello Mitchazenia, this IP you recently blocked belongs to the University of Vienna and is probably shared by hundreds of persons. I'm normally not questioning block lengths from others, but blocking it for 27 months at this time is completely unwarranted, 3-31 hours would be more appropriate. The page the IP linked isn't blatant spam, there are some scientific papers on it which even could be used as a reference in those articles. While a block as such is justified due to the number of pages the IP edited, the above factors should be reflected in the block length. Regards -- Oxymoron 83 10:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the pass to GA. Have tried the peer review for this article, in two venues, general and highway peer review received little response which I fixed those. Did have different articles at league of copyeditors and no reply there. Will try this one there also see if it works better now. Get better notes at GA or FA. Maybe I'll try FA just to get comments. Kind Regards and best wishes Julia
County Route 115 (Tompkins County, New York) - why did you make this? At the very least, NY 330 should be merged into it, but I really don't see why this exists. I also don't see why you continue to make new articles on former routes when so many horrible existing articles on active routes exist. At the end of the day, having complete coverage of active routes is more important than coverage of some route that was deleted 30 years ago, since it is much more likely that a visitor to this site will look for an active route than a former route. And if the one active route they click on has a horrible article, that doesn't leave a good first impression.
From this, it's visibly apparent that you take more pride in making new articles than fixing what already exists. New York really does not need any more expansion, especially not county routes, when so many state highway articles are incomplete. (County routes are also not inherently notable.) Every active route exists; every major former route exists. But over a third of these are sorely lacking in content. Like I've said before, if you really need to make new articles, go to a state like Vermont or Ohio where the majority of the active system has yet to be written. --– T M F 20:16, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
I've been working on the Tropical cyclone WikiProject for almost four years now and I know that at times it can be pretty draining. Hurricanehink and I started a fun little thing two years ago called the Hurricane Hall of Fame (based on a concept I'd created much earlier). It works just like any other Hall of Fame: every year, five storms are voted in based on notability. Up until now, the voters were just me and Hink and the honorees were just Atlantic storms. Both of those are changing (hopefully). I'm trying to get more Project members involved in the voting and I'm going international this year. This ballot is for the Eastern Pacific. Following this election, I'll send out ballots for the Western Pacific and then perhaps the Indian Ocean...all leading up to the Atlantic ballot early this summer. I'd really appreciate your participation. It's just for fun; something to lower stress levels. I'll announce the winners next weekend. The nominees are...

Tax season closes tomorrow so I'll go up there and get a picture Wednesday. - Airtuna08 ( talk) 19:00, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Actually, here's a pic I had in my archives when gathering pics for Rockland Routes. So if you feel you can use it, your more than welcome to it. It marks the beginning of Orange 106 at its western terminus with NY 17/17A. - Airtuna08 ( talk) 21:04, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Here's the pictures! You'll see a couple of the detour road closing signs from Kanawauke Circle and the road closing sign at the final turn you can make before CR 106 westbound closes. I was going to walk toward the bridge, but there was a park ranger parked along side the road down there to make sure no one is driving over the bridge. Wasn't sure if he would want me down there. Then, I tired hiking the hill along side hoping for an overhead shot, but the angles really stunk from the trails. But I go up there on weekends once and awhile to hike or fish, so I'll try and get a picture of the bridge if there isn't a park ranger down there. But the road closing signs should be good too. I'll post them below, so feel free to pick and choose which you want.

Something in my head tells me shields for Tiorati Brook Road go all the way to the Seven Lakes Drive/PIP traffic circle even though mapquest says differently. I could be wrong though. I'll have to check it out, but here are some scenic shots from Arden Valley Road.

What do the NYSDOT logs say about Tiorati Brook Drive? Does it end at the county line or where the signage from the picture says? Interesting. Enjoy the pics though! - Airtuna08 ( talk) 19:08, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

That is what's holding it up... Dude Ranch Trail must be its own article, and the relevant information moved there. It also means that NY 418 needs to have some sort of a comprehensive history written instead. Does this information not exist? — Rob ( talk) 02:42, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello. It is soon time for the Saskatchewan May Newsletter to be launched (May 1). As you have shown an interest in helping to overhaul SK highway articles perhaps you would have a better idea of what to say, over the past few months, I have been trying to add comments here or there to start interest or show direction via the newsletter....? Did you wish to add anything else also before it is delivered, to reach the members of SK WP and SK highways WP about anything...etc? Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 00:07, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
I know this is a bit outside your focus, but could I get some brief criticism from you on how to bring this article up to the standards of the road project? Please leave any comments for improvement on Talk:Chain of Craters Road. Thanks. Viriditas ( talk) 00:39, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
