Hello, Hwy43, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Alberta Highways, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Hiya, Hwy43.
Before removing redlinks from articles, please would you read and consider WP:REDLINK?
I also want to say, thanks for your contributions. I can see you're making constructive edits and trying to help, and we need people who do that.— S Marshall Talk/ Cont 10:39, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to

The demands of encyclopedic writing are not the same as the demands of a website that serves as strictly a data table; in writing, it's completely counterintuitive and awkward to go backwards. If the information were being presented as a table, I probably wouldn't bother with this — but if it's in written format, it needs to be presented in standard chronological order, because the very nature of written presentation makes backward chronologies look utterly wrong.
