Hello, I'm ActivBowser. I've noticed that you said that I had to cite sources to prove that Corridor L is 68.4 miles and that Corridor C is 71.7 miles, but here are they: Corridor L: 82.9968419!2d38.879518!3e0https://www.google.com/maps/dir/37.8401188,-81.2118005/38.6158397,-80.7545835/@38.6150171,-80.7550879,17.88z/data=!4m2!4m1!3e0 Corridor C: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/39.8661562,-83.004956/Lucasville,+OH+45648/@39.8688798,-83.0036158,16.58z/data=!4m9!4m8!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x8846f07e40f560d9:0xf4668aefb931ebbf!2m2!1d-82.9968419!2d38.879518!3e0 Have questions?

There's nothing showing those specific points you're measuring from are the actual endpoints of the corridors. The routes you selected end randomly, short of interchanges and ramps. WV signs Corridor L mile markers onto the WV Turnpike southbound ramp, for example. The maps you're linking are not acceptable citations relative to the other sources.

Oh, I see. ActivBowser9177 (talk) 00:42, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hear this: https://www.arc.gov/images/programs/transp/ADHSFY2015StatusReport.pdf Go to the Ohio section, and you'll find that the length is 71.7 miles for Corridor C. The ref in ADHS Page only shows miles for ADHS Funding (13.1), but it never really expressed the length, nor was there a note to show that the length was ADHS Funding. And... Corridor L's length is rather 69.9, not 68.4 nor 60.5. Hope you understand me. ActivBowser9177 (talk) 16:06, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, you find an appropriate reference to cite for corridor length. I'd suggest using those figures over what is there now. Bitmapped (talk)

WV Centennial

Appreciate the note. The WV Capitol complex has concerts very often. They had a huge centennial bash in 63. It is cool to see the steps in use, I agreeCoal town guy (talk) 02:32, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Greenbrier River Trail

Thanks for your work on this file and your expertise. I know its probably felt at moments like we were both at odds, but the article is much better for our work, trying out different wordings, trying to get the right information using the best tone and emphasis. Again, thanks.842U (talk) 12:03, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your help, too. The article is much improved from what it was before. Bitmapped (talk) 01:18, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WV State Capitol questions

Hi Bitmapped

IU was planning on creating a table showing the years that the WV Capitol occupied its many places and then making a history section with all of the details surrounding the moves. I took a look around at other US State Caiptol articles and noted that Pennsylvania is a featured article...so I hope the format is ok? What do you think?Coal town guy (talk) 01:51, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if a table is the best way to display the information, but having more information on the previous capitols would definitely be a nice addition. Bitmapped (talk) 15:09, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Most excellent, I was able to speak with some folks at the WV culture and history center. I am currently looking into state archive photo permissions as each capitol does have a historic photoCoal town guy (talk) 16:27, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds great! Bitmapped (talk) 17:55, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

West Virginia State Capitol updates

Hi Bitmapped

JUST A FYI

I managed to get alot more refs and add some concise dates as well as added history of how Clarksburg and Martinsburg were also choices for the Capital location. Let me know what you thinkCoal town guy (talk) 13:52, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your changes look good. Thanks for working on them. Bitmapped (talk) 17:13, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Zero Mile marker at WV State Capitol, is not mile zero

Hey There. I did some digging about the zero milestone marker in Charleston WV. THEN I read the sign on the marker. The milestone in its current location is not mile zero....looky at this link https://www.hmdb.org/PhotoFullSize.asp?PhotoID=233975

Should this be removed from the article?Coal town guy (talk) 13:25, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a problem keeping it in since it is at the site. I'm not sure WVDOH uses it for anything other than maybe figuring distance to Charleston, if that. It's definitely not used for all highway measurements in the state as the article said before. WVDOH measures highways based on their western or southern endpoint in the county (US and WV routes) or state (Interstates), not from Charleston. I've tweaked the text a bit but it would be great if we can nail down if it has any real purpose. Bitmapped (talk) 13:41, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In that case it marks when Interstate 79 ends and Interstate 77 Begins. 184.15.173.170 (talk) 21:51, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The exits and mile markers on I-79 are from where it ends at I-77. That is separate from the distance to Charleston that shows up on distance signs. I'm not exactly what point they measure the distance to Charleston from. It may be the Mile 0 stone or something else. Bitmapped (talk) 21:53, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I did double check, once it was moved off the grounds, and once the highways changed, this thing is an artifact, a cool one, but an artifact which is not accurateCoal town guy (talk) 13:49, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for checking on that. That's kind of what I figured. Bitmapped (talk) 18:02, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the boyscouts had their input at its creation, a community for certain. I am in the middle of real life of course, but plan to rework the current Capitol intro, found some good sourcing on Architectural originsCoal town guy (talk) 13:29, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
