Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Pennsylvania/Archive 2

message: Welcome to the Harrisburg Area Roads WikiProject!  This is currently a work in progress, and is directly based off the Pennsylvania State Highways WikiProject.  
Please, feel free to make any changes to the project page!  --myselfalso 15:42, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

message: My thought was that the articles that should be written are roads in the Harrisburg area that have quadrant numbers given.  My idea was that anyone who has experience in the Harrisburg area could write the articles and then people who have more experience with, for example, creating quadrant route signs could create those for each road.  There are more than enough roads that have significance in the Harrisburg area, but wouldn't fall under WP:PASH because they aren't signed roads.  A great example is Paxton Street, which runs from South Harrisburg to Hershey.  A section of road which has a lot of traffic isn't a signed route.

thread_title:  Articles to be written 

message: Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory.  This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.  B2T2 22:45, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Project directory 

message: Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention.  Badbilltucker 16:09, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wikipedia Day Awards 

message: The name for quadrant route articles should be "State Route X (Y County, Pennsylvania)", since the quadrant route numbers are duplicated in every county. To call a single route "Pennsylvania Quadrant Route X" is misleading. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 18:42, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Naming 

message: All of the USRD Clean-up Templates have been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. master sonT - C 16:50, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  TfD nomination of All USRD Clean-up Templates

message: In response to a few issues that came up, we are giving a reminder to all state highway wikiprojects and task forces:
# Each project needs to remain aware of developments at WT:USRD and subpages to ensure that each project is aware of decisions / discussions that affect that project. It is impossible to notify every single project about every single discussion that may affect it. Therefore, it is the state highway wikiproject's responsibility to monitor discussions.
# If a project does not remain aware of such developments and complains later, then there is most likely nothing USRD can do about it.
# USRD, in most to nearly all cases, will not interfere with a properly functioning state highway wikiproject. All projects currently existing are "properly functioning" for the purposes mentioned here. All task forces currently existing are not "properly functioning" (that is why they are task forces). Departments of USRD (for example, MTF, shields, assessment, INNA) may have specific requirements for the state highway wikiprojects, but complaints regarding those need to be taken up with those departments.
# However, this is a reminder that USRD standards need to be followed by the state highway wikiprojects, regardless of the age of the wikiproject.
