== Sierra Highway == |
|||
Rschen, |
|||
I _FINALLY_ finished the re-write of [[Sierra Highway]], a stepping stone to get both [[U.S. Route 395 (California)|U.S. Route 395]] and [[California State Route 14]] up to GA. Would you mind giving this a quick overview to see if I missed anything. As this took about 50 times longer than I expected, i'd like to get a DYK out of it =-). Also, I think I might nominate this for GA also, I would argue this should not have a major intersections table, as this is more talking about a historical highway whose modern definition isn't 100% clear. do you concur? (if it does need a major intersectins table, I'll drop work and not nominate it for GA, i've improved it enough to meet my needs).

Hello, Rschen7754, 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. |

You should have asked me during my more active days! :) Sorry though, I just don't have the time to involve myself back to Wikipedia, at least for the time being. It definitely is a good idea, and you've got a good amount of editors already signed up. Good luck with the Cup! Hope it brings more activity to our project.

First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject). |
|||
I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art]], a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the [[Los Angeles County Museum of Art]] (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list. |
|||
If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006! |
|||
If you are interested in attending, please add your name to [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art]]. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested. |
|||

Thanks for bringing my attention to the highway edits. I'll roll back those edits, if you like, which I believe to be all those containing the words "route", "highway" or "interstate", other than [[Route Twisk]]: this will also roll back all such edits to similarly-named road articles in Canada. You'll need to unblock the bot for me to do that.

I am uploading images I have taken of roads months ago, way before this competition began. I usually like to take a LOT of pictures of the roads I travel on.

== RE: USRDCRWPCup == |
|||
Please let me know: |
|||
1) if it is too late to jump in to the competition, and |
|||
2) if maps such as found at [[Massachusetts Route 88]] are definitely MTF compliant. I am confident this and the dozens of others I have done in [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Maps_of_state_highways_in_Massachusetts this Commons category] are OK, I would simply like confirmation before continuing to contribute using this style. |

- Hello, Rschen7754,
- I'm also late to hearing this news. Thank you for all that you have contributed over 18 years, it's been invaluable. Good luck with whatever you decide to spend your time on, those folks will be lucky! Liz Read! Talk! 02:48, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- Rschen, did not know you that well, but I did like what I saw of you and I hate to see good people not stay with us and keep up the good fight. Best Wishes. Huggums537voted! (sign🖋️|📞talk) 06:12, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

[edit]You and others left to form your own project elsewhere. That's all fine, but your group already used your last newsletter to canvass people to the new project, and you got away with that. Coming back and doing it again is really pushing it, and in case you didn't notice all those edits have been reverted. This is obvious WP:POINT behavior and if it happens again you can expect a block for it. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 20:35, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Just Step Sideways: I am afraid that this sort of threatening behavior (reminds me of a certain social media platform [1]) says more about this project than us, and might backfire. If this community is chasing editors away (that we have worked with for several years), then I would consider it courteous to let us diplomatically present an alternative (notably, for the rest of the world that was not in scope in 2023) and amicably let those editors part ways, rather than you having to do it yourselves. Just a thought. --Rschen7754 20:48, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not the place to advertise your project. You were active here more than long enough to be perfectly aware of this. This is a simple matter of policy and nothing else. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 21:07, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- This sort of behavior goes against the spirit of foundation:Resolution:Wikimedia Foundation Guiding Principles#Freedom and open source. And no, there seems to be some decision on what policies to selectively enforce, and methods to enforce them going on here. --Rschen7754 21:17, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- Feel free to complain to the office then, I don't work for them, I'm just a lowly volunteer admin going by what our local policy actually is. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 21:36, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
