About how much longer, because Check usage for images is also getting slow, and sometimes its just waste of time to open that file, and wait for 10 minutes to load.

Since those states is probably absent of state document, on interstate-guide it either mark those states in pink or black without the list on bottom.

:Yes, Esperanza is a great example.  I agree with you; I have grown frustrated for some time because of the problems with USRD.  I have no problem having a collection of standards and such to keep all US Road articles looking similar.  However, the centralized format the project became has been an oligarchy, which has led to the cries of the "walled garden" that is USRD.  
:I wish there were some openness to the problems presented, as opposed to complete silence on the issue.  USRD has negatively impacted [[WP:PASH]], not positively. The project had a few editors who helped out, but the problems chased them away (not to mention other real life stuff we all face).  
:I honestly wish there was another alternative to USRD, though under the Wikipedia construct, seems unlikely.  Unless there's a Confederate USRD!  Haha.  --[[User:Son|Son]] ([[User talk:Son|talk]]) 00:10, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Your revert is odd, since (a) it doesn't follow the usual rule and (b) makes the topic harder to read.  Embedded external links like that don't provide the reader with the information needed to gauge the applicability of the cite. [[User:Tedickey|Tedickey]] ([[User talk:Tedickey|talk]]) 20:18, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Also, urls of the type used there are relatively volatile, and if the extra information isn't given, when the url expires someone has more work to repair it and provide a usable cite. [[User:Tedickey|Tedickey]] ([[User talk:Tedickey|talk]]) 20:21, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

== Volunteer opportunity in Bethesda, Thursday, July 16 ==


The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16.  The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions.  (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.)

The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m.  Lunch will be provided.  (The full schedule can be found [[User:John Broughton/NIH schedule|here]].)

The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things.  If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify.

If you're interested, please send [[User:John Broughton|John Broughton]] an email.  If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note on [[User talk:John Broughton|his user talk page]], so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.

They are parts of the Interstate Highway System, so yes, Highway should be capitalized. As for the other list, they are parts of the United States Numbered Highway System, so yes, Highway should be capitalized. Highway in both cases is part of the full, proper name. [[User:Imzadi1979|Imzadi1979]] ([[User talk:Imzadi1979|talk]]) 02:54, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:Highway is not a proper noun, so it should only be capitalized if it is part of a name.  "Interstate highway" and "U.S. highway" are not proper nouns because they refer to ''types'' of things, not ''individual'' things.[[user:Jeff02|-Jeff]] <sup>[[user talk:Jeff02|(talk)]]</sup> 02:59, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

::Interstate Highway 95, U.S. Highway 1. The name of the systems: the Eisenhower Interstate and Defense Highway System, the United States Numbered Highway System. Highway is a part of the proper name, and all other similar lists are named this way. [[User:Imzadi1979|Imzadi1979]] ([[User talk:Imzadi1979|talk]]) 03:05, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

:::Interstate Highway 95 and U.S. Highway 1 are individual highways, they are capitalized because those are names that identify an individual entity and thus proper nouns.  "Highway" by itself is not a proper noun, and adding qualifying terms to it does not make it proper either.  So, highway, long highway, state highway, Interstate highway, and U.S. highway are all common nouns.  While yes, you do capitalize the qualifying terms in some cases (for example Interstate, because it refers to the Interstate Highway System), the base word "highway" remains uncapitalized.[[user:Jeff02|-Jeff]] <sup>[[user talk:Jeff02|(talk)]]</sup> 03:13, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

== Hello! ==

Just wanted to see how you were doing and to say that we miss you! --'''[[User:Rschen7754|Rs]][[User talk:Rschen7754|chen]][[Special:Contributions/Rschen7754|7754]]''' 08:55, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
:Thanks for checking up.  I'm doing well.  Most of my time has been consumed by my personal life, and when I am online I'm usually on Facebook, Youtube, or video game sites.  That's not to say I've lost interest in highways.  I do have moments when I like to think about where I-66 should go if it could go across the country, or what if the U.S. Highway System had shorter 3-digit spurs and their numbers could be repeated in different states like with the Interstate System (incidentally, DE 1/MD 528 -> US 150, MD 4 -> US 401, and MD 100 -> US 129 to name a few).  I also occasionally lurk in the AARoads forums, I still play around with SVG, and if anyone needs my help with anything at all, I'd be glad to help out.  Since I only check Wikipedia now when I think about it, or when I'm looking something up, it might take a few days to get a response from me, as you've probably noticed.:P  Of course, I do still come on from time to time, and that big orange banner is sure to get my attention.  Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays, and good luck to you and the others![[user:Jeff02|-Jeff]] <sup>[[user talk:Jeff02|(talk)]]</sup> 15:59, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
::Thanks, and same to you! Yeah, we're getting more articles to FA and GA, and things keep improving. The MD articles are improving overall (I think you're 5th in the nation right now!) thanks to VC. I'm trying to balance article work in CA with a lot more admin work nowadays, with graduate school in between, so it's definitely been interesting. Let us know if you want to jump back in anytime soon! --'''[[User:Rschen7754|Rs]][[User talk:Rschen7754|chen]][[Special:Contributions/Rschen7754|7754]]''' 06:12, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

== An exciting month of wiki events! ==

<div style="background: #EFFDF5; padding:3em; font-family:'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif; font-size:110%;">
Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a ''very'' exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Women in the Arts 2014|Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon]]''' will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever '''[https://www.eventbrite.com/e/open-government-wikihack-tickets-10862424805 Open Government WikiHack]''' with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Sunlight Foundation Happy Hour|happy hour]]''' the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Africa Collection Editathon|Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon]]''' will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Wiki Loves Capitol Hill 2014|Wiki Loves Capitol Hill]]''' training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our [[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC|meetup page]] with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best,<br />[[User:Harej|James Hare]]

== Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon ==

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.
 
'''When''': Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

'''Where''':  The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC
