My fear with the exit list is that it's so speculative at this point, it might not be useful. I'd prefer not to put it in the article until NCDOT formalizes it. I think an external link to the list is absolutely the way to approach it. Making the exit list on the talk page is another possibility. Then, if it crystalizes the way the speculation goes, it's very easy to move to the article. — C.Fred ( talk) 04:41, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
I just reformatted Interstate 77 in Virginia and pointed referenced WP:IH/ELG to show that there is consensus that it is the preferred formatting for the exit lists. I guess we'll just see what happens. — C.Fred ( talk) 05:48, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
I am changing this redirect back to Interstate 74, since South Carolina is also building their piece. -- NE2 22:22, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
I've seen the problem happen, so I know what's probably driving it. Finding where may be the challenge. I'll take a look, though. — C.Fred ( talk) 23:28, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
I see from your edit summary when you reverted my changes that they were not "in line with standards". Could you direct me to the appropriate standards, so I don't make future mistakes? Also, you reverted changes I had made in the "External links" section, where I replaced US Postal codes with the full state name (in this case, NC with North Carolina). Am I correct that this was an oversight on your part, or is that replacement also not in line with standards? – RHolton ≡– 22:07, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
The above project has been proposed at the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#France, would be needing some willing helpers to merge and bring together the various active Wiki Projects related to France. Let me know if you have some suggetion or ideas for it. STTW (talk) 16:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
see my reply on the proposals page. Simply south 17:32, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, when I got mile 88 instead, I realized I had included the western spur in New Jersey. While we don't have the mileposts on the exit list for Virginia yet, generally the exit numbers are more or less accurate (no +1 necessary). On rare occasions there is in fact an Exit 0, other times the DOT just naturally corrects the exits so they're numbered according to the nearest milepost. Perhaps to minimize on OR-ness, it would be better to say simply Milepost 83 (no precision, and no exit reference), since as of now we don't know where Milepost 83 is. -- NORTH talk 00:51, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello MPD01605, I hope that you are having a happy holiay season. I have recently been nominated to become an administrator here on Wikipedia. I am asking that since I have worked with you in the past that you stop by my nomination page and consider entering a vote, hopefully in support of my becoming an administrator.
IIRC, Interstate shields are federal works and thus not subject to copyright. The issue with the shields for some of the turnpikes is that they may be owned by private parties and thus subject to copyright and/or trademark. I think if the png is lifted directly from the website, then we have a copyright issue. By contrast, if the design is recreated from specifications, then it should be clear of copyright--the use of the image would then be subject to trademark. This has come up with college logos, except there the copyright issue is in play, since they're lifted from various college-licensed websites, so they are fair use.
So my thought is that if the shield came off, say, the Pennsylvania Turnpike website and is subject to copyright, it can be used under fair use on the Turnpike's article, possibly on the routes like I-76 that comprise/multiplex with the Turnpike, but not on articles for intersecting roads. If the shield is not subject to copyright--even if it is subject to trademark--then it's free for use anywhere on the Wikipedia (since we aren't opening a competing freeway). If it's recreated, then the creator can release it to public domain or under GFDL, and it's fair game in any relevant Wikipedia article. IMHO. — C.Fred ( talk) 21:57, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
About the edit to the article Pennsylvania Turnpike, it isn't okay to leave out I-95 from the infobox. Although it will be on the mainline in the future, it is still best to leave the "future" plate on I-95 until construction is finished. V60 VTalk - VDemolitions 20:20, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
If you're going to remove links to the old/defunct/never-built auxilary routes, etc., I think you should first create a new article that talks about all of them -- otherwise there's no central place where they're all listed. Jkatzen 06:19, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Take a look at hearing (sense) if you get a chance; see if you agree with my changes. Λυδαcιτγ 06:33, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Oops. Thanks for catching. I've had a habit of breaking that rule that I need to bust out of :-D • master_son Lets talk 05:51, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Better! I will try to pitch in a bit too. Thanks for your response. Kaisershatner 18:37, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
