Previewing

I'm not really a computer coder, so I wanted to make sure as a big edit that things were saved properly. It does look sexy though don't it? Airtuna08 02:09, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but it clogs up RC. When I'm fixing Indiana State Road articles, I use the preview button, every time, no matter what.  V60 干什么? · VDemolitions 02:11, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At 58K, it will need some trimming, but it's not really much longer than most FAs or GAs. (New Coke, the GA I've had most to do with, is about 53K at the moment). Remember also that tables (and we have a huge one in there) are not counted towards the "real" length of the article (or so I understand).

Before we send it to GA, I'll take a look at the route description section and see if I can streamline it a bit (Eventually, I want pictures to be able to tell a lot of the story).

If tables do count towards overall length, I suppose we could follow the lead of what we do on the rivers project and move junction lists to separate articles. Daniel Case 02:09, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Using the quick-estimate method described in WP:SIZE footnote 2, I find 30-31K of readable prose in that article ... certainly within limits. But I'll still see what cleanup I can do (I definitely see it as a GA, too, but maybe we should consider PR first also?). Daniel Case 02:15, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your reversion on Interstate 80 in Wyoming

I noticed you reverted my edits, adding Rawlins and Sinclair exits. Your summary was "not how you do it". I spent a good 30 minutes making those edits, so I'd appreciate if you could explain what I did wrong. As far as I can tell, I did it "properly". - grubber 03:03, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't it easier to keep his edits and fix his minor formatting problems, rather than all out reverting and doing it all yourself? With the exception of the shield placement, it did meet ELG standards. -- NORTH talk 06:22, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've uploaded the remaining county route shields necessary for the exit list. I may get around to finishing the list tomorrow. -- NORTH talk 09:12, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have read through the standards, and although I agree that I didn't do it completely correct, I think my I was 95% of the way there and I don't understand why it was reverted. It would take 30 seconds to fix the errors, a few more minutes to insert the omissions -- but it would take you 20-30 minutes to do again from scratch. I saw that you were doing this long list all on your own and wanted to help you out. I did use that webpage as a source, but I was careful not to just copy it over verbatim, as that would be plagiarism. However, the fact that exit post 219 is labeled "XXX" is public domain knowledge and there is no copyright on commonly-known information. - grubber 15:05, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will. I'm doing it in two steps. First I'm doing the exit list from the one source, then when I'm done I'll add in the mileposts from the other one. -- NORTH talk 21:23, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Monobook CSS

What I'm trying to do is to change the color of links I've already visited to a bright green color so I can differentiate the diff link on my watchlist as to whether I've visited it or not. Any help? ---- GIGGAS2 | Talk 06:21, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
