[edit] Oklahoma Wikiproject Logo

Hey, I liked what you did with the logo I uploaded; but could you change the color back to the original blue. It matches the Oklahoma flag, I would do it my self but every time I try to upload a new version of the file it is distorted. Thanks--CPacker (talk) 04:24, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey thanks a lot it looks great, good job. --CPacker (talk) 04:39, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Question, its showing on the template clear but the image is white; does the server just need time to catch up?--CPacker (talk) 05:03, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Works now, thanks--CPacker (talk) 15:18, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment?

Out of curiosity, why did you assess Idaho State Highway 41 as Start instead of B? I think I already know the answer, and agree with you to some extent, but it does have each of the big three sections – so I would think it really ought to be a B. -- Kéiryn ^talk 20:07, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

That's precisely what I meant when I said I thought I knew the answer. The only thing I disagree with is when you say its only tangentially related to ID-41 – it's meant to be an article on both ID-41 and WA-41, so any history of WA-41 definitely belongs there. That being said, it's really just a tidbit I salvaged from the old Washington article, and I really don't know $h*t about the history of Idaho highways – so if you want it to be a start, then I totally trust your judgement.

-- Kéiryn ^talk 20:39, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, the reason I was creating it was to get rid of a stubby article on a Washington highway that doesn't even really exist. I don't know whether or not the southbound side of the street is signed with Washington or Idaho shields, but there is no northbound WA-41... :-P -- Kéiryn ^talk 20:48, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] One Bid

I saw you had protected One Bid, that's probably the best move. Dennyg2007 seems to be making quite a few messes and causing disruption everywhere here goes, and TPIRFanSteve is convinced he's a sock. I've filed an RFC on him [1], since I'm pretty sure we've seen him before. Hopefully that'll straighten things up. Thanks! Redrocket (talk) 04:30, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Application Security, Inc Delete

Where is the content I spent 20 minutes creating for you to delete in 10 seconds? I'm trying to document the history of the company so I am not sure why this is different than EMC, CISCO and other technology companies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcoveney1 (talk • contribs) 21:06, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I noticed you protected the interstate pages around St. Louis. I was wondering if you would be interested in joining a working group I'm putting together for transportation in St. Louis. Here's the short page we have so far. Wikipedia:WikiProject St. Louis/Transportation I'm currently recategorizing everything and moving pages off of the Transportation in St. Louis category into more specific categories under Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri and Transportation in St. Louis County, Missouri and then grouping all of these under Transportation in Greater St. Louis. This is kind of a big process that's going to take some time. I would welcome any input that you would have though. DaronDierkes (talk) 02:23, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Interstate 635 (Texas).svg

Do you mean keep this image. Because this image vs is not exactly the same. The white text is fatter in metric version; and skinnier in older version. I don't for truth mind if we do not delete this, just have to be remove from interstate-shield gallery and categorize somewhere else. --Freewayguy (talk) 02:29, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

- Do you want to delete it or keep it? Your vote didn't say clearly if you still want the image or not. This and metric is not exactly the same, if we keep its better not to match up with image shield category; maybe better to keep under i-635 stuffs only if works out. I think they have over 280 files, epople likes to upload more anyways, only because they thought the image looks neat, and trying to be creative.--Freewayguy (talk) 02:53, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

- Okay; I say this image probably don't need to be delete it. The MUTCD of interstate-state-name-specific changes from time to time. First normally comes from ; then the second modification is the intermediate version; and lastly after 2000 is . None of those 3 image is exactly the same copies; so won't "kill" not to delete it.--Freewayguy (talk) 03:12, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:635-galleria.jpg

I think image should be move to Commons. Commons is better place for images maybe Image:Interstate 635 (Texas).svg can be move there, if we don't delete it. Things change over time; I think once Texas have white text tighter; is the very old version, then later they make the white text larger in size, and the last change in 2000 I think is making the white text number bolder; and float up to the state name.--Freewayguy (talk) 02:41, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Split of HOT article

I think it was an excellent idea the separation you did on the High-occupancy toll, long lists should always go to an Annex or List. Can you drop by Electronic toll collection, I think is now becoming a list instead of an article. Mariordo (talk) 16:42, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rush Street

I am not a road guy. What does the phrase "there are no photos clearly showing how Rush Street is typically signed" mean. Is this or this what you want?

I have been swapping out images as they have been made available at Flickr. I am waiting on one more person to change their flickr licensing. How am I doing so far with the images?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 16:09, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I am waiting on a licensing conversion for the best I can find. Will that suffice as the main image. I will also try to take photos tomorrow when I am downtown, but the weather for Chicago is not looking so good.

If I can get the image above, it will go up at the top. You mentioned making a .svg. Do you know how to make a map for this street?

How were Image:E233rdSt map.png and Image:Gun Hill Road (Bronx) map.png created?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 17:18, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Please keep an open mind to the new plethora of images. Please reconsider your opinion.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 22:04, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Please come assess the new image arrangement.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 07:37, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I added map to the infobox. I could swap positions of the images if you like, but I think it looks good.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 14:23, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] {{Convert to SVG and copy to Wikimedia Commons}}

You recently converted {{Convert to SVG and copy to Wikimedia Commons}} to the new {{imbox}} format. Is there any change you could go and fix it so that the image doesn't crash headlong into the text, please? Kthxbye Stannered (talk) 23:31, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Z param 1.PNG

What is this all about? SpinningSpark 20:55, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm happy to make clean images but only if they are going to be useful somewhere. If it is never going to be used in an article it is a waste of effort. It is especially pointless on the one you tagged because it is one of a series of four sketches and is useless on its own. SpinningSpark 00:36, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] USRD participants list

As discussed at WT:USRD, the participants list at WP:USRD is being split by state. Due to any of the following factors- your extended participation in WT:USRD discussions, your IRC participation, or your extended participation in Shields or Maps, I have guessed that you are a nationwide editor and have designated you as such in the USRD partiicpants table. This is part of the lengthy process. If this is in error, please let me know immediately. This is especially likely with this group as I have to guess whether you are a national or a state editor. Regards, Rschen7754 (T C) 21:55, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kansas

Is KS a mix shield state or mostly state-shield (On Interstate-Gude should it be pink state or blue state). The state-name specific is add in infobox a while ago, but some shields lack state name. In sunflower state, the state have no state document. or I think we should use state-name specific in routebox until we get specs with neutral shields.--Freewayguy ^{TL C} 20:33, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] CommonsHelper

Hi, in the discussion on Commons about CommonsHelper (thanks for the support, BTW:-) I read that you want to transfer a lot of images to Commons. Just FYI, CommonsHelper has been "retrofitted" with a verification system; it takes about a minute to sign up, after that, your browser should remember the new login for the CommonsHelper page. Should work again almost like old times ;-) --Magnus Manske (talk) 19:47, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] State/neutral shields

Anyways when you said earlier, some shields don't even post when is maufacture. The i-5/ Orange County Route S18 the I-5 neutral shields is post at november 2007, but when the sheilds post doesn't mean when is manufact. In California some i-5 shields is lacking state name too. I went through Downtown Burbank on 4/26/2008 on i-5 leaving off after SR 118, I saw one i-5 sheild lacking state name. In California, most contraction errors take place on I-5, as well as Central Valley. In Oklahoma does I-235 also have contraction error, and how old the sheilds is. New Mexico the DOT I think is worse, and Northeastern states. Some pavements use salt to make. California I think is the best DOT in USA, now most freeways in LA-Orange County has congestion problems especiaaly the I-405.--Freewayguy ^{T C} 19:44, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Yea, I thought if you post a shield at certain time like October 2007 for instance you still dont know how old it is is that right? Sometimes they just cut and paste from various locations.--Freewayguy ^{T C} 19:46, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kansas Cities

Thanks for responding where no one else would, the insight was well. Theres a Dallas, Missouri, but if you do a Search for "Dallas" it takes you to what you intended or expected, which is the most populated city by that name. The words Kansas City refers to Kansas City, MO, unless you say Kansas City, KS, because Kansas City, KS is MUCH smaller and less known. Anytime anyone references Kansas City they aren't talking about the suburb in KS. I took that to the next level and it looks like Wikipedia agrees and the change is holding, I hope that it sticks because I find this insulting. Thanks again for the insight friend. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SakuraAvalon86 (talk • contribs) 15:23, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok so I didn't sign it, sorry, I know this doesnt help either lol. SakuraAvalon86 (talk) 15:49, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I too live here in Kansas City, and I'm a huge fan, just as I'd imagine a KCKS person would be. It's too bad that what people in Kansas City, KS want to believe isn't whats legal, KCKS is a Suburb of Kansas City, MO, whether or not they like it. It's not really debateable, just like Raytown, Overland Park, Lee's Summit, Liberty, Olathe, Independence, Shawnee Mission, Meriam, Grandview, Blue Springs, and Ray-Pec. Look at Independence and KCKS, the two are similar in population, the only difference is a state line, and a 913 area code. Kansans use terms like "neighboring" to decribe Kansas City, MO, where the term "anchoring" should be used. If someone were to pull a population card, then Overland Park, KS would be the anchoring city on the Kansas side, even then Overland Park is a Suburb of Kansas City, MO. I'm glad I'm on my side of the debate, it's easy to make sense when something is true. The whole thing stemmed from the rerouting of Kansas City, to the MO side instead of a Metro page, which was unacceptable, however, the problem seems to be resolved, thanks to everyone's help and understanding. This is until someone else from the Kansas side comes along to change the page again, then we will have to start all over. Thanks again friend. SakuraAvalon86 (talk) 22:48, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Contraction errors

Yopu said about the sign issues in Oklahoma, they don't comply with official ODOT guidelines most of time. You told me earlier anything they do besides what's on official document is an error, as of purple US shields. Just to ask you do they actually have purple or blue US shields anywhere, yes I know those is definitely error. Because USDOT official docs wants US to have white bckground with black text. Green tour (guide signs) I thought updates more than independent use because independent use is post on highway on the right side. You know where I live? Eveytime whene i pass El Toro Y interchange from Lake Forest I see a brand new green plate saying I-5 North on top and I-405 north to Long Beach. i saw them post like fall 2007, anyways they look alot newer, but I think they have been manufacture like two years older maybe 2003.--Freewayguy ^{T C} 23:15, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Missouri

I thought Missouri complys with DOT more than Oklahoma does. The most problem in Oklahoma is the green guide signs lackof capitalization. You said Oklahoma City has alot of neutral shields. Some states have blue bus signs. Where you get purple US signs from. Some places US bus is in green rather than white.--Freewayguy ^{Talk Contribs} 20:01, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
