I see that your newly-created "User:Naturalist" userbox has the same picture as "User:conifers". Would you be opposed to changing it? Morgan695 18:27, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

NY State Highway stub
I've noticed that you seem to be interested in NY state highways. At
- We can't have two separate stub and category systems. I'm making {{]
- I'm confused by your apparent change of mind on the capitalisation issue on this, following your earlier comments on Wikipedia:WikiProject Highways/U.S. state highway naming conventions that not capitalising as a common noun was appropriate for these generic references. Indeed, that seemed to be the majority on that page. Can you elucidate your thinking somewhat? Alai 04:56, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply. I didn't mean to seem to be giving you grief about this, just wanting to understand where you were coming from. I have to agree with you on what an energy-sink this can be. Alai 18:33, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you about this again, but if you concur with my analysis, can you change your nomination back to -State-route (or better, to -state-route)? As it stands it gives the appearance that the generic supports are going with Rschen's mass caps. Alai 19:01, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- What happens now is that some poor fool has to sort the mess out, and close the discussion as a move-or-not, then if so, the actual "move" of the category page takes place after the articles have been re-sorted. I won't rush to do so myself, given my earlier involvement as a debater on the topic. You're right about the naming conventions, we're not at all consistent about things like -stateroute- vs. -state-route-. One can only hope things will become more regularised and systematic over time. Alai 21:15, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Project U.S. Roads
It's on all the state WP pages to help provide info regarding other road projects. If you absolutely don't want it on there then remove it, but having it on there helps other road WikiProjects, and mentions AFDs as well. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 03:00, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Re New York highway/route stubs
Hi Censorwolf - you asked: So what happens with the stub rename from {{NewYork-State-Highway-stub}} to {{NewYork-State-Route-stub}} process on Stub_types_for_deletion now that it is "old-business"??
- Since this is a thorny one, it'll probably continue to be debated for a while so as to get some sort of consensus. unlike the other deletion processes which are largely "keep or delete" with SFD we like to hammer out some sort of middle ground if there's strong arguments on both sides. In this case, I think that if the main Category:New York state highways is taken to cfd for renaming (which has been suggested) whatever happens there would sway the argument one way or the other. Grutness...wha? 00:51, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
- OTOH, it's not likely to be desirable to leave this "open" while the NC subpage allegedly reaches a consensus (this has been rolling around for months already, and could do for who-know-how-long), then then goes to CFR. Alai 02:44, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Well... there's arguments on
- I'm making appeals to common sense here, however. The WP guidelines were not written with highway systems in mind. I'm pretty certain of that. But now we have the opportunity to revise them. I'll explain again: The phrase "New York State Route" (for example) is capitalized because it is a part of a specific highway system. And what is the problems with appeals to authority? The Chicago Manual of Style probably does not address highway systems either. (After all who exactly cares about that except us road people? lol) So both of these authorites have shortcomings that we can address. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 05:44, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
NC
Good idea with the votes system... at least we can get the mess at
NY 416
Not a problem. I'm going to be working on a lot of these, probably some of the shorter routes, all over the state, and I don't really have a dog in the NC argument as long as the articles are good. Daniel Case 17:14, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
If you liked 17K, take a look at what I've done with New York State Route 208, and New York State Route 214, which I just created. Daniel Case 20:51, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Don't we all know it. These road articles present an excellent opportunity to reuse some pics I've got elsewhere. Daniel Case 20:59, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

As long as the legend is linked to... since people will just keep complaining about size and this is something we can do without. I wish we didn';t have to do this but ... yup. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 03:00, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Not a problem. The page was getting very sloppy as was. Daniel Case 18:07, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, I don't live in the section of Orange closest to Sullivan ... more like closer to Ulster (Look over the articles for communities in northern Orange County, see which one is the most developed, then check the accompanying edit histories, and you can email me your guess as to where I live (I have learned the value of being slightly circumspect about these things in public fora)).

Presenting category moves as a fait accompli
This is a reminder that you should not depopulate categories prior to bringing them to
- Go ahead and move them, but please realize this was an effort to organize the articles under one category instead of two, as well as aligning article names with category, not intended to be presented as a fit accompli, but rather as an effort at organization. If you re-categorize just the articles previously designated as "highway" you are in effect de-organizing wiki and someone other than me will probably later re-categorize them. Note that all the article names are "Route" and the category you prefer is "Highway" which does obviously not agree with the article names; so you should then move all the article names to comply with that, keeping track that you only move the ones that were erroneously categorized as highways, and fixing any links as necessary. This again will probably be reverted by the others working on the NYSR project as we have agreed to use "Route" as the article name for various reasons, mainly as this is the offical NYS-DOT convention.
- BTW, there is quite alot of discussion ongoing about highways/routes in general but mostly CA, and it was agreed that there should NOT be a US standard, but only within each state as much as possbile. If you start renaming articles in NY to comply with some perceived US standard, you will most likely be spending most of your time discussing these moves with the editors of the highways projects. Good luck! --Censorwolf 22:25, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
- Well, something to consider is I'm not the one doing anything other than being the instrument of decisions on CFD. If WP:ROADS ends up with consensus, you need to make sure to broadcast that consensus to cfd...otherwise the usual suspects may be ignorant of discussions elsewhere and decide something contrary. I just wanted to make clear that personally I don't care *what* the roads get classified under, I'm just the admin who closed out the move/delete discussion. --Syrthiss 13:50, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello, My name is Nick Mokey, and I’m currently writing an article on Wikipedia for the Daily Orange in Syracuse, NY. The article will focus on how Wikipedia is being used in academic environments, specifically college. I wanted to know if you, as a Wikipedia contributor, would be interested in a brief interview for the story. It will take 15 minutes tops, and it would be an enormous help to me. If you are interested, please contact me at [email protected], my deadline is midnight on Friday (4/28) but I can work you in any time during the day, it will just be a quick discussion over the phone. Thanks, Nick Mokey
County Highways
I noticed you are interested in New York State Highways. I was wondering if you would also be interested in
Hello
Hi, I haven't run into yet on Wikipedia, but I saw you listed in the category for upstate people in New York while I was looking for people in my area. Looking through your talk page I saw someone say Orange co. close to Sullivan. That would put you pretty close to me. I live in Deerpark, which is right next to Sullivan co. if you go up Rt.209. Just cool to see people from around here on Wikipedia. Good day, Chuck(척뉴넘) 09:03, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
NY 25A Routebox
I just created the New York State Route 25A routebox tonight, and I'm having nothing but trouble relocating the shield into it, let alone formatting the colors for unconstructed roads. Is there any way you could take over these problems, or teach me how to do them myself? ---- DanTD 21:18, 30 May 2006 (EST)

US Routes - NY 4, in particular
I've done a ton of new NY route articles, and now I'm at a point where I can't see doing many new ones (since I prefer to drive the route in its entirety first). But, since I live fairly near the ST of US 4, I drove the NY length of that route today and have all the data I'd need to create a US Route 4 (New York) article. But while I was able to dive in to the NY routes project and create articles by adaptation of what I found there, I can't see it happening on the US routes side. So, I invite whatever insight you can give me. Since my user talk page is very small, feel free to move this discussion to my talk page. Fwgoebel 04:30, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
