NY 59A

Hey, thanks for expanding the article on the former New York State Route 59A. I have to admit I was ready to give up on it. ----DanTD (talk) 03:59, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

NY 107A?

Where exactly was New York State Route 107A supposed to be? Are you sure you're not cofusing it with Nassau County Road 107A, that was the Old NY 107 in Glen Cove? ----DanTD (talk) 04:17, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Roads

Mitch

It would be a huge task to gather info for the entire route of anything more than a shortish road, in this respect, and beyond the scope of summary style. Rather than some kind of mandatory requirement, I had in mind that you experts might keep in mind the goal of creating a general knowledge base of what's out there, which areas and routes and parts of states are likely to be worth mining for local information, economic impact, environmental impact, and where the resources are. One of the features of local histories is that they are often not widely published (for obvious reasons); this raises the possibility of quite exciting finds, from time to time, that might be relevant to road articles. I see nothing wrong with exemplifying the impact of a route on a particular community or region, if that information is available; comprehensiveness is unnecessary, I suspect. And just making readers aware of the existence of one or two locally published histories at the bottom of an article would be a real service. You might as a group feel your way around at the start. And does NPR do radio documentaries on local histories? I know that the CBC does. Just a thought. Adding this dimension could lift the status of road articles on WP to something that people out there really go for.

On a wider note, you might consider your role as flag-bearers of the whole concept of road and highway articles on WP (indeed on the Internet), setting standards for WPians in other countries to emulate. I see no such articles for Canadian roads (at least as systematic as US editors have been), nor Australian, British or Irish roads. I really think it's about time WP encouraged the formation of WikiProjects for writing about roads in these countries too; they will look to the cluster of US road WikiProjects for guidance and standards, at least initially. I wonder how one might go about encouraging this? Perhaps the idea needs to be sounded out at country WikiProjects ... what do you think? Tony (talk) 14:10, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I was wrong: Pacific_Highway_(Australia) in my region, plus in other countries. But an alarming shortage of WikiProjects in those countries. Tony (talk) 14:16, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: NY 59A and NY 107A

My apologies. If you have more information, I'm not going to stop you from adding it. Maybe you should've told me before, and I would've considered transferring it to your sandbox instead. As for NY 107A, where near Merrick Road was thins? I've never seen it on a map or in real life before. ----DanTD (talk) 16:31, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

re: Reviews

Sure thing. I am working my way through the Tamil article at the bottom of the FAC list but then I can get to them. --Laser brain (talk) 03:50, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I can review wherever needed. It is always a huge benefit to review things at peer review before they get to FAC, so if you have any road articles you are getting ready for FAC and you want me to review them, I'd prefer to review them before you actually post them to FAC. If that makes sense... --Laser brain (talk) 04:25, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I have left comments at the NY 22 and 373 FACs, and left a pre-FAC review at Talk:New York State Route 3 so far. --Laser brain (talk) 05:53, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

2006 Pacific Hurricane Season

Your new rewright of the 2006 Pacific Hurricane Season has been undone, is that ok with you because i was also adding information on the season(most recently on Ioke)and i am not okay with it?--72.193.254.254 (talk) 16:50, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Mitchazenia, Hurricanehink and I discussed the matter, and decided that we would revert the recent edits to let Hurricanehink take over. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 17:10, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

NYSR tagging

You are removing the USRD tag from articles which are within the scope of USRD. Please stop. --NE2 17:51, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

NYSR and USRD

So let me say that I have no problem with what's going on, and wish you the best of luck. And who knows, maybe I'll come help out, too. I do have a concern though with the scope of the project and have one question about it. Interstates in New York...jointly covered by USRD and NYSR? Your recent edits to the talk page of the Bruckner Expressway suggest that that is the case. If it is, awesome. Just a clarification is all. I figured it's better than bringing it up on talk page where it could spiral out of control, you know? Thanks man, --MPD ^{T / C} 20:46, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

wikiproject

I don't agree that you should leave USRD. However, I have been having a problem with someone who keeps telling me that I am doing everything wrong there. So I don't know what to do. -- Carpetmaster101 22:00, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry about the shields, I'll still make them.Actually If I remember correctly, NE2 reverted some of my edits a few months back for no reason. So I thing I might leave USRD altogether to get away from the dumb fighting over there. -- Carpetmaster101 22:15, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

I need the list of the Washington county Routes so I can make them. -- Carpetmaster101 22:52, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Heyo!

I left some long comments over at WT:USRD. I support the fork of WP:NYSR. I'd like to see this lead to a confederate system of USRD unlike the federal system that developed. I think two things:

1) It's good to have standardized guidelines via USRD, and that's it. Any discussion that affects another state WP should be addressed where the discussion is happening, linked via USRD.

2) The USRD tag should be abolished for any state WP that is active and should be abolished as other states move into activity. Even if that level of activity drops again, it shouldn't be switched back to USRD.

Let me know your thoughts. I would reactivate myself in WP:PASH for this cause. Cheers! --Son (talk)

Don't despair

My only concerns is for you to find sources to go along with the maps, or something that interprets the maps. Are there any written travel guides? Are there any local histories? I'm sure a government agency may have publications on it. The maps can be used, but must be in conjunction with something so an individual does not have to interpret the map to understand. I had a problem interpreting the maps to find the evidence. Does this make sense? Ottava Rima (talk) 20:01, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Okay, that makes sense. I didn't have a chance to review many road FAs before because I was on hiatus during the summer from reviewing. However, I would have opposed them also. Are there no travel guides that deal with these kinds of things? A long time ago, when I was a sophmore in college, my Environmental Lit teacher would ride across the US writing travel narratives and guides. I got the impression that this was a big field. Perhaps check with a tourism agency or local governments to find out any information? Ottava Rima (talk) 20:08, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

You might be able to get the information faster than what you belief. Try looking up the county governments that the road travels through and email them for information. Also, the OR part is only about having people look at maps for the information. If the information is text, then it shouldn't be a problem. However, I had a problem following some of it. Ottava Rima (talk) 20:15, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Haha, that may be a alittle excessive. Why not order travel guides or find any releases for the areas just mentioned in the article? I'm also sure that local papers may talk about expansions of roads, and in doing so, discuss some of the history. You only need to fill in... what? 10 areas on the page with cites? Its not really a big deal. Ottava Rima (talk) 20:28, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks and question

Thanks for promoting the Guitar Hero FTC a day early (I doubt another day would have mattered, but hey, great!) Question: can I change the image that you selected for the topic? I was planning on using the free image Image:Guitar-hero-controller.jpg rotated and reduced which would make it obvious it was a Guitar Hero guitar controller. --MASEM 22:12, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

FT promotions

Hey, Mitchazenia. I appreciate your initiative in promoting an FT, but I'm have to let you know that you missed a bunch of steps in the promotion process, like adding the discussion to the log, adding it to the random topic generator, informing Goings-on and FTC about the promotion, and creating the talk page for the topic. The promotion procedure has become cumbersome, but for now it all needs to be done. Thanks for all your work on FTs. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 01:43, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Haste makes .....

Hi there, I'm not sure where we stand on the road reviews since you are clearly in a hurry to get them through FAC. That is not a great idea for a number of reasons—the biggest reason is that it is a strain on reviewers to have to bring articles up to standard when it should have been done before FAC. As I stated a few days ago, I prefer to see articles at peer review before they pop up at FAC. I'm going to cease reviewing the other road articles because I don't like to work like this. --Laser brain (talk) 03:18, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

NY 321, Foward Road, NY 174, NY 175, NY 173, NY 92, NY 41A, NY 359 pics

I finally added some road pics. Of NY 174 I had too many that I liked, so I added four...feel free to choose your favorite(s) and remove others. NY 175 I added a couple; I'd still like to get one of the Syracuse end...South Ave or Kennedy St...not the best neighborhood, and so will be an interesting contrast. NY 173 I added one; I still want to get one at the western end somewhere (Camillus or Warners). NY 41A I added one at north end; it has some gorgeous views along Skaneateles Lake...I'll try to get out there during foliage season and get something good. NY 359 I added two. NY 321, Foward Road and NY 92 are still on my to do list. Lvklock (talk) 12:38, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Portal:Finger Lakes/Selected picture

Great work so far, lookin pretty good. Just a note to take Portal:Finger Lakes/Selected picture/34 as an example, it is usually a thing at WP:FPOC that the image credit should be linked (preferably wikilinked, but if it is an offsite source than a hyperlink is okay too) and also in the description text the relevant associated article should be wikilinked and bolded. I went through the first few making minor corrections. Cheers, Cirt (talk) 02:24, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Typo redirect 1975 Pacific norrthwest hurricane

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on 1975 Pacific norrthwest hurricane, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because 1975 Pacific norrthwest hurricane is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting 1975 Pacific norrthwest hurricane, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Mitachazenia, please don't renom a FAC right after it was archived; it's not fair to reviewers or to other FAC nominators.[1] Your options are to contact previous commentors and opposers, or to invite peer review volunteers and previous opposers to a peer review.

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Mitchazenia. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mitchazenia~simplewiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
