Disambiguation

Re your edit comment here -- they are indeed similar cases, but in my opinion San Diego Freeway also is not a disambiguation page. The names are not ambiguous; it is the editors' choice that the articles about California highways are classified by route number rather than by name. Frankly, putting "disambiguation" on these pages strikes me as insulting to the reader -- "ha, ha, you didn't know enough to search for the right article." If there were two San Diego Freeways located in different places, then the title would be ambiguous. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 18:51, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

However, this is a disambiguation in that Eastern Toll Road is not a real article. Your comment about disambiguation being "insulting" is, frankly, your own opinion. --Rschen7754 (T C) 19:54, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

I just got another heads-up from another user who blocked the guy. He should be fairly easy to spot; he's here in SoCal and he edits articles on the local freeways. Believe me, I am an expert on the Southern California freeway system and I'll clobber him on sight if he starts in on any of them. If I miss him, please let me know if you spot him. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:59, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New Jersey Route 180

I noticed you merged New Jersey Route 180 back into New Jersey Route 72. I am currently working on improving the NJ 72 article and it seems awkward how the NJ 180 information is mashed in right after the NJ 72 information. Mitch had created a separate NJ 180 article and was going to improve it. I personally think there needs to be a better way to handle this by either branching out the NJ 180 information again into its own article or passingly mentioning the NJ 180 history within NJ 72's history as in this version of the article. Dough4872 (talk) 14:49, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I cleaned it up myself as part of improving the article as NJ 180 would probably not do good as a separate article. Dough4872 (talk) 16:35, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. It's not my job to fix articles that I didn't mess up. There was a reason why this article was merged; I don't get why Mitch decided to undo it. --Rschen7754 (T C) 17:17, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On bad faith

We are not required to assume good faith given clear evidence to the contrary. The fact that several of these moves have been done in a short space of time, and the comments of those supporting it (throwing around accusations of "British POV" and "admin abuse") to me is"clear evidence to the contrary". 81.110.104.91 (talk) 15:38, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know what I saw, and it was not acceptable accusations, even when "given clear evidence to the contrary". I'm warning you. The end. --Rschen7754 (T C) 16:08, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Be careful

When you merged the Santa Ana Freeway exit list into Interstate 5 in California, you duplicated a few interchanges. I'm reverting the merge entirely, since the article still exists, still has an exit list, and has no consensus for merging. --NE2 06:09, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oops - that wasn't you. --NE2 06:12, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think we need to reopen that discussion (regarding splitting the exit lists) after all that crud went down and after we lost a few users. (This may need to occur at the national level - do we want to make this a ELG / USRD standard, or do we not like it at all?). --Rschen7754 (T C) 06:13, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delaware Turnpike

I see that you deleted my note on "shunpiking" (thanks for the new word, by the way) the toll. So...does Wikipedia have an agreed policy of omitting this information? If so, please point me to it. If not, I will restore the info.

My take is that the information on the toll bypass is relevant and useful, and it offers people a totally legal alternative to paying an incredibly outrageous toll. I have spent so much time backed on that road on holiday weekends just because of the queues to pay the toll.

My account

I know that recently you, Rschen7754, have deleted my account, which was: I'm gonna hesdbutt ya!. I know now why I was banned from editing, the username, correct, so if you or another administrator could un-ban me I will change the username within a week of you letting me edit again. I cannot request a new username at the moment because I cannot edit the request for new username page. And don't worry about me also not knowing what the other policies were, I read them all while I was banned. Anyway, this matter is semi-important. Oh, and if you're looking or have looked at this IP adress's previous posts which are all mostly one sentence saying nothing useful, that is my younger sister messing up wikipedia. If you want to know what username I will want to change into, it's "A High Schooler that likes science and anime", that is okay right (I'm not sure if it's too long, but if so I'll cut it down or change it slightly)? P.S.- It doesn't matter too much to me, I do have a busy life
