I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} after the question on your talk page.
Looking through your contributions, I notice that you seem to be interested in Kansas state highways. In that case, I encourage you to join WikiProject Kansas Highways and WikiProject U.S. Roads, where you can edit alongside other roadgeeks that will help you learn the ropes and write articles consistent with other states' highways. I look forward to seeing your work in the future! —Scott5114↗ 17:53, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Did you really write an article about a road that's only one mile long? I'm not sure if Wikipedia needs this type of article, because there's not much to say about the topic. Do you agree? --Mblumber (talk) 01:27, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Map references[edit]
When referencing a map, could you please use {{cite map}} to identify which map it is you are referencing, as opposed to merely linking to the page with all the maps? It makes it easier to verify information if an individual map is cited. Thanks! —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 14:07, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Image copyright problem with Image:K17map1932.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:K17map1932.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 02:22, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on K-61 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. LegoTech·(t)·(c) 06:14, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Which map did you use for reference four on K-61? It's important to specify which historic map you use so that other people can verify your work; it's recommended that you use {{cite map}} inside the <ref> for this purpose. Good job on the K-61 article, by the way; it's very comprehensive. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 18:40, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
