State Road 589 (Florida)

Thank you so much for updating the toll information for Florida State Road 589. I rarely travel along that route and do not know the cost of the tolls as a result. Wslupecki 01:38, 27 September 2006 (UTC).


Re: NY 231 article

I fixed the problem and put all but two of the CR intersections into the junction table. --JB82 00:30, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Moved page

FYI, I ran into DanTD's Road-Related Projects in the mainspace while I was sweeping through Special:Uncategorizedpages. My guess is that you meant for it to be in your own userspace, so I took the liberty to move it to User:DanTD/DanTD's Road-Related Projects. I hope this isn't a problem.  :) If you have any questions, let me know! --Elonka 09:13, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

WP:USSH

So you are aware, WP:USSH states that pages such as State Road 41 (Florida), one you created, are supposed to be at Florida State Road 41 instead. I've moved the page. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 18:46, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:1950 Vets Highway Map.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:1950 Vets Highway Map.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

NYSR-NYCR Newsletter - Issue 1

The New York State and County Route WikiProjects Newsletter
Issue 001 – December 2006

Intro Issue

The Beatles WikiProject has been running a newsletter for some time now to great success, and, after some consideration, I've decided to launch a similar effort for the New York County Routes and New York State Routes WikiProjects. This could prove to be a very effective medium of communication between the members of the groups, and with increased communication comes the possibility of increased production. For the most part, this first issue will be a "dry run" of sorts, to work out any bugs in the system. The first serious issue with permanent sections will most likely be January's issue.

Nothing as elaborate as the Wikipedia Signpost is planned, but the amount of information that will be found here will more than make up for the lack of framework.

From the Editor

This is a work-in-progress and likely will be for some time. As we get settled with a format, I'll begin to make some improvements to the barebones structure and give a little more life to this page.

Your feedback on the content and format of this newsletter is greatly desired. With your help, we can make the newsletter better and more informative! Don't be afraid to comment!

Lastly, remember that this is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue (Issue 002 – January 2007). Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or just start editing!

Happy holidays to everyone, regardless of how you celebrate.

  • Plans to reroute New York State Route 63 in Peoria, Covington, Wyoming County (15 miles southeast of Batavia) were unveiled on December 6. The project will eliminate a sharp curve present in the center of the hamlet, rerouting NY 63 along a new alignment to the north. Details will be finalized by Summer 2007 and construction will commence in Summer 2008.
  • New York State Route 23A, closed from Palenville to Haines Falls since June when record rains caused a retaining wall to collapse and give way to a mudslide, was reopened on November 22. During the time that the road was closed, numerous upgrades were made, including the replacement of culverts, upgrading of drainage systems along the road and the repair of both the collapsed wall as well as the existing retaining walls.
Project News
  • Likewise, articles on county routes are also being made in impressive numbers. When writing these articles, be sure to abide by the guidelines on the project page, to maintain a consistent feel across all of the articles. Missing shields for county routes? See TwinsMetsFan or Northenglish.
  • County routes in New York was recently created. Pictures of actual county route shields are greatly desired and needed. Also, if possible, some additional text and history about county routes in New York State would be welcome.
  • New York State Route 52 was, unfortunately, not qualified enough for Good Article status due to a lack of references (full report). Any references that can be added to the article, particularly the history section, are greatly appreciated.
Member News
  • One month ago today, Fwgoebel came on board to the project and, in the time since, has contributed over 50 new articles on touring routes and has added to dozens more, including helping in the effort (along with JB82 and TwinsMetsFan) to convert all usages of Template:NYSRInt to {{NYint}}. It may be belated, but welcome!

The MSBA still owns the copyright to your crops, and they cannot be used under our fair use criteria because a self-made map can have the same information. --NE2 15:03, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

No, that won't do, because you have not shown that the MSBA has released the map into the public domain. --NE2 15:29, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

You don't understand copyright. Most things that are distributed to the public are not public domain. No tag would be appropriate, and the images will be deleted, unless the MSBA agrees to release these maps under a sufficiently free license. --NE2 16:03, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

That's how our copyright policy works. However, if you are meaning to use these as references, you can still do that: <ref>MSBA map, [date]</ref> --NE2 16:13, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
