County road notability

If a subject is going to have a separate article on Wikipedia, it has to be notable. The rule of thumb for this is WP:GNG, the General Notability Guideline. For state highways, they've been assumed to be notable. For county roads, they normally have to individually meet the GNG rule. Normally, individual CRs will not have articles, and instead they're merged into lists.

For example, Brockway Mountain Drive has an article, but none of the other county roads in Keweenaw County, Michigan, do. County Road 492 (Marquette County, Michigan), County Road 510 (Marquette County, Michigan) and County Road 595 (Marquette County, Michigan) all do, but for now County Road 601 (Marquette County, Michigan) does not. In the future, I could create List of county roads in Marquette County, Michigan and create a single table that lists all of them, linking to just those that exist. List of County-Designated Highways in Michigan has such a table for that statewide system of roadways.

For those reasons, I redirected the two articles you created to their lines of the appropriate table. I'd also recommend that if you did create any articles, that you use the standardized naming scheme: "County Road/Route/Highway X (Y County, Z)" where X is the number, Y is the name of the county, and Z is the name of the state.

Information icon Hello, I'm Dual Freq. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. City / Village / Town is how the municipality is incorporated. It is not based on population. Please do not continue to change without a citation. Thank you.

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give O'Hare West Bypass a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Also, you should take a look at WP:USH, which is the naming convention for how we title highway articles. In this case, the correct title would have been Interstate 490 (Illinois). The title you picked is for a state-detail sub articles, not a single-state auxiliary Interstate which shares its name with another highway in another state.

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! Imzadi 1979 → 19:08, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. Route 52 in Illinois

I made some basic formatting fixes. Before you create any more articles like that, I do suggest you take a look at USRD's new user orientation page. That will help give you some basics on how to format a highway article. Also, to be perfectly blunt, don't be surprised if in a few days that your new article were directed back to the parent article. In short, you need more than just an RD section to justify creating the sub article. At a bare minimum, I'd suggest you either write the start of a decent history section, or create the missing junction list table. Without either of these, a reader would be better off reading the IL subsection of the parent article's RD section. Imzadi 1979 → 05:08, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Official city names

Can you please stop changing the names of all these cities? It's not improving the encyclopedia. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 21:03, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's standard practice to use {{official website}}. Please stop changing it. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 21:09, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Why are you ignoring these messages? Please stop so you don't get blocked for being disruptive. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 21:11, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. I won't do it again! Hunter Dudlicek 21:13, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Then why did you just do it again? —C.Fred (talk) 21:19, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not doing it again! I promise. I'll just leave it alone. Hunter Dudlicek 21:22, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Along the same lines, official highway names really don't have a place in a junction list. Quite a few of them, US 6 and US 34 (Grand Army of the Republic Highway and Walter Peyton Memorial Highway, respectively), are much too long to mention every single time. Most times, we only need to provide the local street name. –Fredddie™ 21:36, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
