Talk:List of numbered routes in Massachusetts

message: Just an aesthetic comment, but I find it a scandal that the only SGS seen in this article's photos is the one in the background on the I-93 signs.   Anyone got a good example handy?   If not, it shouldn't be hard for any of us here to go snap one.   - Cheers, PhilipR 05:23, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

message: "Massachusetts state road" and "Massachusetts state highway" are redirecting here, so this article should have a canonical list of state-maintained roads (or pointers to such lists).  I'm getting these started right now, but we'll likely need to check with some state authorities to verify we haven't missed any. -- Beland 01:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unnumbered routes 

message: The table, in my opinion, is pretty awful. I really like the format at the Virginia state highways list. Perhaps, instead of the routes bunched up like they are with no indication of where they are, a simple four-column table with Route name, North/West Terminus, South/East Terminus, and Length in Miles?Anderfreude 04:19, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Format, route north/west & south/east termini 

message: I added the above to the list of named routes.  I'm not 100% sure about which routes.  Here is the link:

thread_title:  Added Yankee Division Highway 

message: The section of former US 1 in Dedham should be added to the section on unnumbered state roads.  As far as I know, it is still a state road, but it has no number.  Most people still call it "Route 1", even though that is not technically correct.  I think it's official name is "Providence Highway".  It becomes the VFW Parkway whn it enters Boston.

replies: text: I don't know how to edit the table, but I added it as text.  Hopefully eventually somebody will find this page and add that route to the table.  Mitsguy2001 (talk) 06:59, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

replies: text:  in the future, adding text like "I don't know how to edit the table, so hopefully somebody can add this route to the table:" into an article is rather poor form. You could have just added the text without that comment, or even just pasted your text here in the talk page with the comment so that someone else could move it over. Remember that readers reading the prose in our articles would take any similar statements as coming in "Wikipedia's voice", and encyclopedias are not written using "I" except in direct quotations.

replies: text: I posted in the talk page a while before.  Since nobody seemed to be reading it, I figured that adding that comment to the main text would get people's attention and add it to the table, which I still don't know how to do.  Mitsguy2001 (talk) 06:09, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I've move a section here for discussion. Since the purpose of the list article is to list the numbered routes in the state, it seems that a table listing named roadways that just happen to contain segments of state-maintained highways, or roadways that completely coincide with such highways, would fall outside of the scope of the topic.
