Part 3: Implementing the convention

A. Official policy

The official policy draft is located at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (U.S. state highways). Feel free to edit the proposal.

Voting takes place here and there:

The following discussion is an archived debate of the vote. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the vote was support. --TMF ^{T - C} 13:56, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Vote

Remember that the 100 edit rule applies. Also, the no comments with the votes still applies. Any comments left will be forcibly removed by a judging administrator. Please vote using three tildes (~~~), not four.

Um? can we allow comments somewhere else??? I'm certainly interested in them. especially the opposes, I want to hear what they propose instead (that fits within the framework of where we are so far, no repudiating the whole thing, that's just not useful) ++Lar: t/c 20:34, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Presumably, that would go under "Discussion". However, if you find freakofnurture's inline comments ("Oppose in the name of all that's fucking holy.") to be "interesting"... =) Powers ^T 15:06, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

... Ya, I saw it... what I am interested in is what alternative is on the table that he supports, which is why I think a comment area somewhere makes sense. That vote, as it stands, counts for zero (or less) in my book, as it's neither useful nor collegial. Hopefully he'll choose to share some positive thinking on what he'd rather see, directly below. ++Lar: t/c 17:44, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Discussion

Is the implementation perfect? No. But I urge you (as a fellow editor, not as the creator of the poll) to support this for the sake of consensus and to get this issue over with and to move on. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 01:59, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Those footnotes are ugly. Is there really any question over whether someone will be willing/able to make the page moves required? Powers ^T 15:43, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I like how we went from "move them only if there's consensus at the state level" to "move them, screw the state level". --SPUI (T - C) 18:34, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I am willing to move the pages. Correction: I will be willing to move the pages when I find the time. Probably won't get to it for a few months. And the admins made that call. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 23:19, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't get it. We are voting on whether we support the policy above, but it can still be edited? I am not voting on something that may change. What I support now could change and I could oppose it later on. I will refrain from voting until the policy page is finalized and protected to prevent editing during the voting. --Holderca1 16:57, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Everything that has been decided by Poll 1 and Poll 2 is pretty much set, which is the table of states and their respective methods of titling and referencing...It is going to correspond to whatever was decided before so that's not getting edited. Everything else is just style guidelines that everyone has pretty much agreed upon, or what we've always been doing. The big thing is the article titles, if there's a controversial edit to anything else, I'm sure it'd get reverted and discussed first. However, it might not be a bad idea to stop editing tonight (9/25) at midnight that way everyone can be sure they approve what's been written by the 9/26 23:59 UTC deadline.

Yeah I thought about that but I didn't get around to implementing that. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 02:03, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Is this over with, or are we leaving it open a little longer? Stratosphere ^{(U T)} 14:12, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

B. Page moves

Page moves take place only after the policy has passed. (You can sign up though).

First of all, the following need to be notified:

• WP:AN
• WP:ANI
• WP:RFAr
• User:Curps

Secondly, sign up for moves. Strike out ones that you have completed. Fix double redirects, but do not "fix" any other links to the old name. It would be helpful to create the redirects ASAP too.

ALL NON-ADMIN USERS MUST BE SIGNED UP BY THE TIME WE NOTIFY CURPS (see above for time). This is so you do not get blocked by Curps. Admins are automatically whitelisted.

How to mass move pages: 1) Move the page, showing WP:SRNC for justification 2) Check for double redirects 3) Check all possible sources for articles- that would be lists, categories, stub categories, WikiProject templates 4) Create redirects with a completion list (if time allows)

States that require no changes

1. American Samoa
2. District of Columbia
3. Guam
4. Idaho
5. Illinois
6. Kansas
7. Louisiana
8. Maryland
9. Michigan
10. Minnesota
11. New Hampshire
12. New York
13. Northern Mariana Islands
14. Pennsylvania
15. United States Virgin Islands
16. Virginia

Signups for User:Rschen7754bot

This bot can only convert links such as "Iowa State Highway xx" to "Iowa Highway xx". After I fix the U.S. Routes I can do some states. If you want to sign up a state for this, add it to the list below. Don't convert P2 links to P1 if it goes against WP:USSH. Only links to existing pages can be fixed at this time. Apologies.

• New Mexico

Signups for AWB

NE2 has run AWB on a lot of states to change links and text for all routes, whether or not they have articles. If you want others done, you can add the state below or let me know. AWB can also help fix double redirects after moves by generating a list of all possible redirects and then applying regexes to the redirect pages.
