75.47

Just so you know, 75.47 moved on to 63.193 (Example: 63.193.92.68). Consider rangeblocking on 63.193? --Splat5572 (talk) 04:00, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey

[1] also look at the username too. I'll have to tell you about Missouri sometime. --Rschen7754 (T C) 22:05, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

RFA at Commons

Since my civility problem have stopped at Commons, is this impossible I will ever become an admin?Since you said my RFA over here is not impossible, I don't know about Commons, or it is just going to take a long time for my tantrum problem to be forgotton. I know I just have to not jerk around.--Freewayguy ^{What's up?} 02:03, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

I did. Will I never pass the RFA, how many trys will it take to pass the RFA? I will do the same thing to Deadstar too.--Freewayguy ^{What's up?} 05:13, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

And proof I've grown up and convince I can control admin tool.--Freewayguy ^{What's up?} 05:20, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I did pay back by apologizing. This might make communities see and be more ncomfortable to give me admin tools. I've grown alot anyways, and now I might been some steps closer than last month. I still have alot of stuff to learn anyways. Also I hve improved my grammar skills. I still don't like books, and will never like books, so writing might still be a struggle.--Freewayguy ^{What's up?} 05:33, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Copyedit?

Could you copyedit Interstate 82 before it fails its GA nomination? Finetooth is too busy, so I am requesting you do it. ~~ ĈĠ890100^{Review me!} 21:34, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

RFA

Did I get any closer to RFA than few reviews. My English skills did imporve a little bit however reading and writing is always a ordeal for me. If my English was as good as NE2 I would've written and expanded alot of good articles. THe problem with writing is they are usually a prompt, and I have to focus on one subject, organizing thoughts.--Freewayguy ^{What's up?} 18:56, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

• You can coach me about writing if you like. My civil problem is actually gone from Commons, I did apologize to Deadstar for vandalism page move, as well as User O by yelling at him.--Freewayguy ^{What's up?} 19:33, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

• Any part of English you like to coach me, especially wirting would be good.--I-405 (Freeway) 22:18, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

• Now I'm in school now. I may be available sometimes, to let you know.--I-405 (Freeway) 23:20, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

66.66 IP's MOS violation

I hope you know 66.66 has been messing up the exit list on mass tons of pages by adding blue, green, white plates on the exit list. I'm not dealing with these since I have enough with warring.--I-405 (Freeway) 21:50, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Should 66.66 have a Level 4 warning or should we block him for a while? he had a level 3 warnng so let's just give him one more warning.--I-405 (Freeway) 22:10, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

I gave that user a {{Uw-mos3}}. Since we don't have a Level 4 for MOS violation, I'll just give him level 3. Let Rschen7754 (talk · contribs) know about this.--I-405 (Freeway) 22:19, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

USRD Newsletter, Issue 6 (FINAL ISSUE)

—Rschen7754bot (talk) 03:51, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

If you have the time...

I saw you were doing IH BL merges and the new AL2TB sock created a whole bunch of those stubs. --Rschen7754 (T C) 06:15, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

I only created one stub, thank you very much. It's Interstate 205 Business (Tracy, California). Must eat worms (talk) 22:59, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Image request

Could you get an image (similar to commons:Image:Marquette County, Mich.svg) for List of state highways in Snohomish County, Washington. I am currently sandboxing it and trying to aim for FA and a FT or GT about roads in Snohomish County. You can do it whenever you have extra time on Wikipedia, and I realy won't need it until late October/early November. Thanks, ~~ ĈĠ ☺ ^Simple? 22:16, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

BTW, I think I found some GIS data from Snohomish County, WA: http://www1.co.snohomish.wa.us/Departments/PDS/Divisions/LR_Planning/Information/Maps/mapsgisdata.htm I'll get something from WSDOT later. ~~ This page was edited by ĈĠ 23:05, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Exit list issues on some California

I don't know why Rschen7754 keep undoing my changes for no rations. I don't know what's wrong with See Golden State Frwy link because that article has it's own exit list, and duplicating an exit list seems annoying. I don't know what's the problem when a person looking at the exit list have to jump between pages.--SCFReeways 23:30, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

• Can you answer this question. Because I don't think Duplicating an exit list seems like a solution because people will have to update two lists.--SCFReeways 23:31, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

• Rschen7754 just blankly undoing my changes on I-5, I-80, and US 101 in CA. I think this is way out of line and Rschen7754 is not beign fair. He should at least discuss the issue on talk page and let us compromise. i'm putting it on WT:CASH for now. What's IRC channel. Can you help me quickly?--SCFReeways 23:57, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

8Can you help me please. What Rschen7754 did to me is not right. I like See Golden State Frwy better than a duplciate exit list.--SCFReeways 22:07, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

My language coaching

Do you have any comments from my last coach? I don't seem to see any answers. Although I do not enjoy books, i do enjoy study solar system and astronomies.--SCFReeways 00:32, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Iowa

Does iowa still use state-brand shield on it's sign drawing. This source to me seems like a deadlink. Or it is the old state document.--Freeway91 23:09, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

date= in {{Cite map}}

Hi Scott, In this edit you removed the date= argument from {{Cite map}}. Was that intentional? I know there is some history around the use year= and date=. I don't know what the current consensus is. Should date= be added back in? Thanks, Patleahy 17:59, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Money Game

The addition was poorly written the several previous times it had been added and duplicated in the article. Sottolacqua (talk) 16:48, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

In addition, there's a clear difference between what should be considered "encyclopedic information" and "mindless trivia." For instance, fonts, random playings of Golden Road where the "dots" weren't used, whether or not Drew Carey says "Alakazam!", etc. should not be included in article descriptions. The scope and level of detail for most of the pricing game articles is already sufficient and there really isn't much more that can be added without it turning into fancruft. Sottolacqua (talk) 17:34, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Problems with Rschen7754

The problem with Rschen7754 is he's not being fair. He just undos my changes since he thinks he loves it, and mostly he won't say exactly why. Like San Diego Freeway I think should be emrge with I-405, since most contents is about I-405 passing Orange and Los Angeles County, and a little about the I-5. Do you think San Diego Freeway should stay merge with I-405 or should it be kept seeprate page. I see 3 person said to keep it merge with I-405, since whole part of SD Frwy is I-405, then it becomes a I-5 in South Orange County past Irvine, mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, San Juan, Capo Beach.--Freewayguy 23:16, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Should we merge San Diego Freeway with I-405? I meant oversighter just tell us don't worry about performance. Do you know anything about solar system and planets. On most things like Atmosphere of Titan we keep it merge with Tian, same as Neptune-the deep blue planet Atmosphere of Neptune stays merge with Neptune. Do you even want to try astronomy projects, or no. Do you know Jupiter is a gas planet?--Freewayguy 00:29, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Snohomish County Map mistakes

There are 4:

• Washington State Route 529 ends at Washington State Route 528 in Marysville, and it does not go north from Downtown Marysville.
• Washington State Route 99 ends at a 4-way interchange with Interstate 5, Washington State Route 526, Washington State Route 527 and Broadway (a street).
• WSDOT uses Image:I-X (big).svg shields on Interstates, but this is optional to do.
• Where's Lake Stevens?

P.S. Thanks for the wonderful map, and it looks great! ~~ This page was edited by ĈĠ 22:02, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Subpointing, RR a page

When I want to RR a page, do I have to go through normal AFD. Becuase San Diego Fwy have gone through nmerous of undos. Does AFD always mean an aritcle have to be totally deelte, if it is not to be kept, or AFD can have alternate action like RR, merge.--FRWY 19:25, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Texas State Highways/Completion list

I'm considering a split of the Texas State Highways Completion list that separates Parks and Recreation routes from the main list, among other splits. How do you feel about the idea? ----DanTD (talk) 16:48, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

OK interstates

We have severla contributors say not to use state-specific on 25x20px, and state-specific is only use on indep. use or Interstate A, not guide sign or interstate B. Alot of consensus say to only use state-spcific on 88x70px only. --FRWY 03:19, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

State-specific is only on indep use or both guide signs too?--FRWY 03:21, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Most other places, guide sign is use on ind. use only, MO uses neutral in guide sign, but ind. use is state-specific, same as California.--FRWY 03:47, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

This as example. I've seen the Califonria sign drawing 2006-09 illustrate neutral on guide sign use but the 1971 sign drawing still use state-specific. --FRWY 03:49, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Freewayguy

Can you give me the names of his alternate accounts? I can only block them if you list them for me... Thanks! --Jayron32.talk.contribs 23:33, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

More mistakes

For the Snohomish County map you made, Arlington is misplaced. It should be closer to the SR 9/SR 530 intersection. Thanks! ~~ ComputerGuy 17:31, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

P.S. Stanwood is on SR 532, and needs to be repositioned. ~~ ComputerGuy 17:32, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

P.S.S. Where is Washington State Route 204? ~~ ComputerGuy 17:38, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Here is a map ~~ ComputerGuy 17:41, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Google Maps

I'm sorry, whilst you raise a valid point, I will not stop delinking Google Maps, until you or some other contributor provide some concrete evidence that the links are acceptable, especially when there are other 'free' geo-data sources that data of equal value could be obtained from.

Maybe facts are not copyrightable in the US, but they certainly are under EU database rules (which is what Google Maps effectivly is- a large geo-spatial database).

In general the links are commented, rather than an outright removal however so could be easily reinstated.

If you feel the links are justified leave a note on the Talk page for the article concerned, justifying why Google maps data is being used in preference to says, USGS Terraserv , FHA, or countless other data sources that have less restrictive terms compared to Google's.

Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:18, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

You say citing a source is acceptable, OK in some cases the tagging may have been zealously done (and will be looked at again),

but some were reasonably tagged because the length/coordinate data is obtained from Google's database (and i might point also contain trap numbers). If you think the use of Geo-data from Google Maps is acceptable please comment on the talk page providing the equal of fair-use rationale for the data used. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:28, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Cord-data is not copyrightable and does not need a fair-use rational. Facts and figures cannot be copyrighted. -----J.S (T/C/WRE) 23:02, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

You're right.

My mistake...sorry. My misunderstanding of MOSDASH and what you were inserting..Cheers,

Template:Usban

Is there a way to center-align the banner with the route shield? I've noticed with three-digit routes, the banner is left-aligned. --Fredddie™ 10:22, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Huh. In Firefox, it everything is left-aligned (which is how I though it was supposed to be, except for the banner), but in Safari, it's all center-aligned. --Fredddie™ 02:20, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

I ended up added align=center to the offending lines in the table to make it show up correctly. I compared the outcomes in Firefox and in Safari and they look the same.--Fredddie™ 07:28, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Help!

Please see this discussion Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games#Final_Fantasy_Legend_name_translation_woes.2C_mk._II

There is an ongoing issue with Kung Fu Man over an edit dispute which is getting out of hand, and I'm fairly certain the user is relying on sockpuppets to make revisions to the article. Check the revision history yourself to verify this. Also, I've been receiving harassing comments and threats from this user and am not sure where to turn for help. Please get involved and try to act as the voice of reason. Thank you. 74.242.123.2 (talk) 01:19, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Australian highways

Haha, if only it were that simple: Highways in Australia. "Right mate, take the M31 to NSW, then follow 31 to State route 8, which become Metroad 6, and then follow Route 1 north to Qld, where SR10 becomes B7." The best we can hope is that it's simpler :D.

New image project

Hi. This little form letter is just a courtesy notice to let you know that a proposal to merge the projects Wikipedia:WikiProject Free images, Wikipedia:WikiProject Fair use, Wikipedia:WikiProject Moving free images to Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia:WikiProject Illustration into the newly formed Wikipedia:WikiProject Images and Media has met with general support at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Files. Since you're on the rosters of membership in at least one of those projects, I thought you might be interested. Conversation about redirecting those projects is located here. Please participate in that discussion if you have any interest, and if you still have interest in achieving the goals of the original project, we'd love to have you join in. If you aren't interested in either the conversation or the project, please pardon the interruption. :) Thanks. Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:40, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Image request: File:Pend Oreille, Wash.svg

I once again return for a map request. This one will be for Pend Oreille County, Washington, a small county with only one city (Newport) and four towns (Cusick, Ione, Metaline and Metaline Falls). There are five current highways (US 2, SR 20, SR 31, SR 41 and SR 211), so this will be a quick job. I'd like the image to include the city, four towns and communties listed on the Wikipedia article on the county. I am soon making a list for the highways, currently undergoing sandboxing here: User:ComputerGuy/Pend Oreille. Thanks and the image should be located at File:Pend Oreille, Wash.svg! –CG 05:45, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Old OK turnpike shield request

Hey, I haven't been on IRC lately because with my internet switching off and on, it's become a PITA for me to stay connected. I should be back after today, though, since the company's supposed to fix it today. In any event, the main reason I'm posting here is that I re-took on your request for the old version of the OK Turnpike shields. I messed around in Inkscape for about an hour a couple days ago and came up with File:Muskogee Turnpike shield (old).svg. If that looks good to you, I can upload shields for any of the other turnpikes. Just let me know on my talk page or post at the section for the shields on the request page. Although, since I know you know your way around Inkscape, you could probably do it yourself. =) – TMF 12:56, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
