A Vital barnstar for you!

		Vital Barnstar
		Thanks for coming from the watchlist and improve Telescope to 30kB, as part of the 30 kB drive. I had tried to improve it to 30 kB before but at the time I couldn't get around to do it and eventually quit. So well done – you did what I haven't be able to do.

Cite format change

Please read WP:CITEVAR and revert your edits changing the cites to sfn format for this article. I've already reverted your improper edits to Malaya. Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:49, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Apologies, I missed the section about changing from plain text to using a template. I have fixed the Valiant article. Gusfriend (talk) 22:26, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for doing this so promptly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:27, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

"Good Article" that was exclusively referenced by about 30 maps with no non-map references

I'm curious, what is the "Good Article" that was exclusively referenced by about 30 maps with no non-map references you reference at the pump[1]? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:40, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

I will admit that I was going from memory and there are 17 maps supporting it currently. The article is U.S. Route 1A (Wake Forest–Youngsville, North Carolina) and there was an extensive discussion at Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/U.S. Route 1A (Wake Forest–Youngsville, North Carolina)/1 before it was delisted. The closer referenced maps and OR in their closure reasoning. Gusfriend (talk) 21:36, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
