November 2023

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Interstate 20 length

Just to follow up, the I-20 in GA article had an error. If you click the links in either footnote, the length of the highway is 202.61 miles in Georgia. The I-20 article was citing the official FHWA source as well. Wherever that other length came from, it is not supported by the footnotes. The lengths table in the I-20 article is cited to that FHWA source, and by changing one number, you also introduced a discrepancy where the total at the bottom would no longer match the sum of the lengths in the table.

Now, GDOT may not have put up a mile 202 marker for various reasons. I wouldn't want to speculate on this specific situation, but I can offer ideas on why the physical signs can be in the "wrong" location or have the "wrong" number.

The sign may have been hit by a vehicle and not replaced.
The sign may not have been included in a general resigning project in the area.
Mile markers may be placed up to a tenth of a mile away from the correct location per the MUTCD.
Mile markers may appear out of location or reset for historical reasons, such as how INDOT handled renumbering the original section of I-69 north of Indianapolis to account for the new southern section or how I-87's numbering resets when it transitions off the New York State Thruway.

None of these may explain the situation, but it is a fact to keep in mind when trying to cite physical MM signs instead of official documents.

In short, please do not reintroduce the length error into articles. Imzadi 1979 → 20:20, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:I-59’s northern terminus.jpeg

A tag has been placed on File:I-59’s northern terminus.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a copyright violation of https://www.aaroads.com/interstate-guide/i-059/ and has no credible claim of fair use or permission. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
