Talk:South Pole Traverse

message: Demoting to High importance to Antarctica, as subject is clearly currently not yet truly extant. Importance may change upon completion of construction. John Carter 21:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I noticed everything shifted to past tense -- does that mean anything was done with fiber cable? Somehow I doubt it -- that would have been a project costing hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars requiring dozens of traverses by caravans of snow-cats and specialized cable-placing equipment. --A.

message: Since this road connects two American research bases, should it not be tagged with  instead of ? --Admrboltz (talk) 20:17, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Doesn't WP:ANTHWY have a banner?  Seriously though, an interesting question.  Under what state or type would this fall for USRD? –Fredddie™ 20:26, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There is . :) If we retagged it to USRD, I'd leave it without a type or state, much like it isn't tagged for a HWY task force. Imzadi 1979 → 20:39, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I reverted the assessment back to C-Class for now. There's still additional content that should be added to this article by integrating items from the Further reading section as full citations. As a second reason, we have uncited material in the body of the article, including one item with an explicit "[citation needed]" tag present. This article has been on my to-do list for some time, and I will get back to it. Imzadi 1979 →  05:12, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Assessment 

message: Do the flags that mark the route have any distance markings, e.g. "Mileposts", so the drivers know the rate of progress and can give their location if they have distress?  I suppose they might simply use GPS to plot the location, perhaps customized navigators that have the route coded into them. GBC (talk) 18:15, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Retarding this revert, obliviously this highway isn't in "mainland" New Zealand, but it is in Ross Dependency. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 01:26, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The category is called "Roads in New Zealand", and since as I understand, no part of Antarctica is in New Zealand, Ross Dependency or not, the category isn't appropriate. Imzadi 1979 →  01:45, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

text: I'm not sure that's exactly the point. The point is that it is a WikiProject, and that the South Pole Traverse falls under it. MEisSCAMMER(talk)Hello! 14:46, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I don't see any objections, so I'm going to put it back up. MEisSCAMMER(talk)Hello! 23:01, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Considering the first box on the "wiki project" says "This page contains material that is kept because it is considered humorous. Such material is not meant to be taken seriously." I don't think its banner should be used to tag actual articles. Imzadi 1979 →  23:05, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  revert 

message: The article says the route was completed in 2007, but an NOAA photograph exists from November 1978 showing a black version of a U.S. Route 1 shield.  From the NOAA album, the photo seems to be on the McMurdo-South Pole Traverse.  Any ideas? 2606:A000:83D0:7F00:F556:BA52:90B4:4E66 (talk) 23:53, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: You're referring to this image, I think. I don't see anything at the album that would indicate it's not just a joke placed by one of the people stationed there. ☆ Bri (talk) 00:05, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
