Hey there. I wanted to inform you of a few things. 1) If you need pics for NJ articles, you can pull them off my Flickr page. For example, your NJ 23 articles has a pic section. Here is the entire NJ set of mine: here. 2) Once you complete the final articles for NJ, you will be declared the winner of the County Challenge. Congrats. Also, #3) We have a new USRD/CRWP competiton called the USRDCRWPCup. We would like it if you would join :). (Also, have you been able to get a IRC chat client? Chatzilla, Mibbit.com, or Freenode's Java chat work.) Cya.Mitch32( Go Syracuse) 18:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Dough4872, and welcome to the USRD-CRWP Cup. This is just a reminder that the contest will start at 00:00 UTC on Saturday (about 4 PM Pacific and about 7 PM Eastern on Friday). Nominations must be made after that time to count for the contest.
Currently, there is only one pool for contestants. Please feel free to invite any Wikipedia user to join. We need a few more users to get another pool.
It is unknown when the first round will end; however, it will last at least 3 weeks.

Hello Dough, I'd like to calmly request you stop reviewing User:Mitchazenia's articles at GAN. No offense, but your reviews are not exactly from a neutral standpoint, as you both are extremely familiar with transport articles. Unfortunately, Mitchazenia was docked 250 points due to this, so please do him a favor, and don't review any more of his articles.
It's not your fault, but we need to be fair to every contestant in the WikiCup, and some of the reviews you gave on his articles are not fair compared to those of other contestants. Thanks, iMatthew // talk // 15:51, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Since we are growing the NJSCR project so much, maybe if we keep looking, you and I should start looking into plans for the State Highways in New Jersey book using that book feature.

I finally replied to your comments on the ACR. Could you take another look? Thanks, Rschen7754 ( T C) 04:41, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Hey there, I just have to bring you up to date on a few things. Anyway, I am fine now with getting rid of NJ 180. I guess it was the wrong decision on my part to write it. Anyway we have another problem for NJSCR, because of the mass amount of GAs now using Alps' Roads as a primary source, we could run into a major delistment. We have to find sources and fast (see New Jersey Route 284 for example). I would highly suggest sources of maps and more stuff.
Second thing I wanted to tell you is that about the WikiCup situation. iMatthew gave me my 250 points back, but left something for me to tell you. With the County Challenge going on in the side, you'll have to back off on reviewing anything of mine that relates to the Good Article stuff. iMatthew said it would be more preferable that you back off on all types of reviewing because of the Conflict of Interest and well, its going to have to be so. Just do me that favor. I hope you understand.
See you later.Mitch32( Go Syracuse) 15:12, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey Dough4872. I would just to apologise for and explain the disruption you may have noticed on WP:Good articles/recent. Following a bot request, it became apparent that it would be handy to have a bot pipe new additions to WP:GA onto the /recent subpage. Now, I admit that the bot's been having a few problems (it's still officially in trial), but I hope these have now been worked out. It should mean that every 5 minutes the newest additions are added automatically, so all users like you have to do is add the newly listed GA to WP:GA and let the bot do the work. Of course, you're allowed to do it yourself, but you don't have to. That's the plan, anyhow, so it might be an idea to add the article to WP:GA, then wait ten minutes. If the bot hasn't added it yet, add it manually and come straight to me so I can fix the bot. Essentially though, you can either carry on as normal or take advantage of the bot, as you wish. Thanks for your patience and sorry for any disruption caused. - Jarry1250 ( t, c) 17:50, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
I apologize, I didn't get to devote quite as much time to Wikipedia as I thought I would today. That being said, I did get the chance to look at the route description and maps of the area more thoroughly, and it's a lot clearer to me what's going on now.

Hi Dough, thank you for your review. I am working on all your items, but in the meanwhile, I have a question about your item #1, "Citations are not supposed to be in the lead as it is supposed to be a summary of the article." The current MOS guideline for lead citations says, among others: "The necessity for citations in a lead should be determined on a case-by-case basis by editorial consensus. Complex, current, or controversial subjects may require many citations; others, few or none." It does not say that "citations are not supposed to be in the lead." Would you mind checking this point? If you'd like, I can start a thread about this on WT:LEAD. I don't mind either way, I just want to get it right. Thanks again, Crum375 ( talk) 01:40, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
Since most of the edits you suggest are rather minor and none are isurmountable, requiring mostly minor edits to fix, how about giving me a couple days to fix them before an instant fail? -- Kumioko ( talk) 17:10, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
I noticed this instance fail and I have some concerns. From here, your #1 point is not a GA requirement. It can easily be fixed. Your #2 point is unnecessary, as one picture is enough, and sometimes GAs lack pictures. Your #3 point is wrong, as they are from multiple individuals and thus discuss different parts. Furthermore, notability is not a GA concern. #4 is a misreading of stable, which merely means that there are no edit wars. GAs constantly change after their rankings, especially when people expand them for FAC. I would suggest you reopen the GAN and take another look. If not, I shall do it instead.

So these are how many roads are left. Maybe I need more help on the state routes than I thought.Mitch32( Want help? See here!) 14:04, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
More roads on Flickr today. NJ 68, NJ 156, NJ 129, NJ 160, NJ 170, NJ 174 were the major part.Mitch32( Want help? See here!) 23:46, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Wow, out of nowhere I went and expanded NJ 59 and NJ 64, two of the shortest routes on the system.Mitch32( Want help? See here!) 00:50, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey, for warning, when you do the history of Route 440, don't keep 169 bolded, as I am planning to write it. I just need a chance to sit down at the library and look through the construction stuff.Mitch32( Want help? See here!) 16:16, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
Why did you call NJ 109's intersections with CRs non-notable? It is an extremely small state route, so these intersections wold be considered notable, in my opinion. ~ EDDY ( talk/ contribs/ editor review)~ 12:33, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi Dough4872. I just wanted to apologize for dragging your GAN through a rather needlessly long review. Please note that I do not doubt your ability as an editor to write excellent articles, and I wish you the best of luck in the rest of your nominations.-- Edge3 ( talk) 20:11, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I keep meaning to take a picture of the new sign and what-not, but I forget to have my camera with me whenever I drive past the place. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 21:39, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your reviews. Greatly appreciate your input to improve my skills in editing the articles. :) Aviator006 ( talk) 06:24, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi there. I am a fellow highways and maps lover. I noticed that you've got a hefty share of good articles on the topic written, and was wondering if you would be interested in reviewing an article that I wrote. Your outside and knowledgeable eyes would be of great assistance in promoting the article to featured list. Hope to hear back. Cheers, ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 01:16, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Aside the name and route number being reversed, could you explain how AotS is different than Trenton Freeway? AotS was created in the early 1990s, while IA 27 wasn't designated until 2001; MO 27 was designated shortly thereafter to match IA 27. Also, if IA/MO 27 are separate from AotS, how would MO 27 be different from I-74 in Iowa? (You supported a merge to I-74.)
Given these examples, your position at AotS is confusing to me. -- Fredddie ™ 01:59, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
I saw this morning and I am not the least bit pleased. Come on IRC, since I have a couple hours to discuss said issue and some other things.Mitch32( The Password is... See here!) 15:50, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
NJ 151 and NJ 155 for the lot :D.Mitch32( The Password is... See here!) 21:06, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your help in getting Interstate 70 in Colorado to Featured Article status. Dave ( talk) 06:26, 10 October 2009 (UTC) |
I finished New Jersey Route 166 and New Jersey Route 167 yesterday. I also have New Jersey Route 63 half-finished in a sandbox. I see you wrote part of 143, I'll finish that later, but I updated the book for other things, including 180 in a sandbox.Mitch32( The Password is... See here!) 12:32, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

I went there today and got photos. Will upload later.Mitch32( The Password is... See here!) 23:11, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
151 did precede the 1953 renumbering! I found a news article from December 28, 1952 listing Route 151 remaining the same during the renumbering, along with Route 84.Mitch32( The Password is... See here!) 17:20, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Nice work on US 22! I need a mention of NJ 11 though :P. I was on a busy streak this week: 140, 157, 138, 133, 177 and 303 this week alone I believe. We should keep this pace :D. As a bonus, only two active state routes are stubs. :D NJ 347 and NJ 33 Business (which will be in the next day or so). So let's keep a good pace. Doing US 46 next or US 206? I will help with 206 if necessary,because I have lots of photos and experience. For me: 33 BUS, 153, 26, 32, 82 and 67 are in the ready portions for next week.Mitch32( A fortune in fabulous articles can be yours!) 00:31, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

I noticed while reading my printout of the Route 27 article, you misspelled the street I live on :P - if you can find it, you'll laugh. :P - And on to other business 26 is done, more of annoyance then I expected.Mitch32( A fortune in fabulous articles can be yours!) 14:32, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
Clinched and photographed NJ 122. Rather interesting that the 0 Mile Marker is US 22 ALT's, not NJ 122s.Mitch32( A fortune in fabulous articles can be yours!) 01:47, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
Ok. I have been working for straight hours on the state highways in nj list, which is up to 120 kb in size already. If you come on IRC, I can show you how its going. By the way, go to my NJ 163 set and grab the photo of the NJSHR 5 stamp for US 46, which you did a gerat job on.Mitch32( A fortune in fabulous articles can be yours!) 02:54, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey there. Nice job on U.S. Route 130.Now we have the harder fish to fry for last (9 and 206) outside of 1 and 1 Business. I have not accomplished much this week outside of normal stuff. I have been staring all week at NJ 92 as if it was mocking me. I have no idea why. Anyway, we're getting closer. I have the 51, 153 and 169 sandboxes still waiting, so we'll see. I am also putting the thought of putting Darlington's Bridge at Delaware Station and Yardley-Wilburtha Bridge (when re-written) in as backups to 39 and 163, but that's not set in stone yet. If you can come on IRC, i'd like it.Mitch32( A fortune in fabulous articles can be yours!) 02:49, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
I've reviewed the article and left notes on the talk page. I've put the nomination on hold for seven days to allow the issues to be addressed. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, here, or on the article talk page with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.

Hey there man. Great job on 1 & 1/9. As a result, I will do you a favor. I'll take US 1 Business off your hands so you can go to the other important roads (9, 206, 78, 80). Just merge 11 when you're done with 78.Mitch32( A fortune in fabulous articles can be yours!) 12:54, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Imagery from the 30s to the 50s of shields from all different places. However, several are on books.Mitch32( A fortune in fabulous articles can be yours!) 18:43, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Cool news. I've been checking updates, its getting there. As a bonus. We can choose a color and any image of our choice. They have image choices, but its somewhat limited. Right now I was looking at using either the Interstate 173 pic, the SHR 13 stamp on NJ 27, or one displaying a shield in a public form. What's your ideas.Mitch32( A fortune in fabulous articles can be yours!) 20:36, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
71 done. Waiting for you on 347, which i hope has a good history, because the RD can't keep its own if the history is bad.Mitch32( A fortune in fabulous articles can be yours!) 23:09, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
