NJSCR Newsletter 5

The New Jersey State and County Route Newsletter Issue 5 – August 25, 2007

Issue #5 After a two-month hiatus, the fifth issue of the WP:NJSCR newsletter is out, by me, Mitchazenia.

Project News The wikiproject has been inactive since June! Please try to start working on their articles again. New Jersey Route 33 was passed for GA-class on June 17, two days after the prior issue was released. 33 is only the third NJ-based road to reach that rank with Interstate 295 (Delaware-New Jersey) and Pulaski Skyway being the other 2. New Jersey Route 18 was demoted to B-class on June 27 due to unfixed errors. A to-do list has been posted on the project page, with a more detailed version at WT:NJSCR#To-do list. The simple version: Ensure that all freeway exit lists are up to exit list guide standards. Make sure all infoboxes have the new maint= parameter. Make sure the straight line diagram is properly referenced in the infobox. Add a major intersections table to each article.

WP:NJSCR Newsletter 6

The New Jersey State and County Route Newsletter Issue 6 – October 1, 2007

Issue #6 The 6th edition of the WP:NJSCR newsletter. This one will hopefully start a monthly streak of newsletters.

Project News Many articles are starting to reach Start and B-class. New Jersey Route 55, New Jersey Route 47, New Jersey Route 74 all got upgraded to B-class. County Route 622 (Middlesex County, New Jersey) failed its 3rd Good Article nomination due to unreliable sources and other conditions. We currently now have over 10 B-class articles. New Jersey Route 75 has reached Start-class. A to-do list has been posted on the project page, with a more detailed version at WT:NJSCR#To-do list. The simple version: Ensure that all freeway exit lists are up to exit list guide standards. Make sure all infoboxes have the new maint= parameter. Make sure the straight line diagram is properly referenced in the infobox. Add a major intersections table to each article.

Pinellas County Shields

Hey, I see you're making the new shields for Pinellas County. They look good, just one suggestion, if I may. Maybe you could make them look consistent with the ones already in place? I've noticed on the ones, like , have the "County" is toward the bottom and the numbers a little bigger. I mean, yours look much better than anything I could draw, but it's just a suggestion from one fellow Wikipedian to another to maybe keep everything looking uniform? Everything else, the shape, the "Pinellas", the coloring, is spot on and I think they look great otherwise. Keep up the good work and thanks for helping out! EaglesFanInTampa 23:15, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm confused, and I don't think it's anything you did, but when I look at the thumbnails, they look great, but when I click on them, they show the original look. I noticed you've only done the 200's right now, but I even tried purging them and they're still showing the old way when clicking on them. I'm sure it's just me, though. Of the one I was able to see in the new size, CR 321, it looks great; my only complaint would be the numbers are one font size too big and the Pinellas could move down a little, but those are very minor and someone who's not a perfectionist like me wouldn't notice.

On a side note, I was an idiot and forgot one road, CR 264, which I'm going to put on the table shortly, so if you want to make a shield for that one as well, feel free. I'll try purging again, cause I'm sure those shield probs are just me, but I'll let you know what I find when I find them. Thanks again! EaglesFanInTampa 13:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Actually, after going over them a little more in-depth, you're 213 and 216 are perfect! They are spot on and couldn't be imprved in anyway. Just model the rest after those two and you got it! EaglesFanInTampa 00:05, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

The thumbnails all look great! It just the actual images need to be purged, so as I click on them I've been purging. If, after purging I still see some issues, I'll let you know. So, for helping out, I present you this:

		The Graphic Designer's Barnstar
		I present you with this barnstar for going above and beyond to make the Florida State Roads Project more user-friendly and appealing for the Average Joe by building the County Road shields for Pinellas County. Great work! EaglesFanInTampa 16:57, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Great job, and on behalf of the Florida State Roads Project, thanks! Hopefully, we can call on you in the future...? EaglesFanInTampa 16:57, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

More CR shields...?

Actually, I hate to be th guy who asks a favor right after you offer to do a favor, but if you have time, no big rush, would you be able to do another list I built: List of county routes in Salem County, New Jersey? The only diff is, as I'm sure you're aware, they're county routes and not roads. Like I said, no big deal, just whenever you get around to it, that'd be great! Thanks again! EaglesFanInTampa 01:35, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I like the font on the 2nd one you showed me, but maybe just a touch bigger on the font size. EaglesFanInTampa 13:37, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey, haven't heard from you in a while. Just wondering how you were coming along on those shields. If something else came up, no big deal. Just curious.... EaglesFanInTampa 21:24, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

No problem at all. Trust me, I've been very busy myself. Whenever you find the time, it's not a top priority, I swear. I'm just appreciative that you can do them, that's all! EaglesFanInTampa 19:05, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
