[edit] Highway Exit Lists
Hey there, I've noticed that you've added a lot of helpful exit lists to various articles about California highways. What is your source for these lists? You've said on your talk page that you have relatives who work at Caltrans. Does Caltrans have a published book, or pamphlets, etc. with an index of exits for every route in the state? I noticed that the ones on the Caltrans website, for example this, are not at the same level of quality as the ones you post. For one, they don't include the cities and milepost numbers. I would be very eager to order a complete exit index from Caltrans if they really had them. Wikipedian06 05:25, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] California State Routes
I've noticed that you seem to be creating California highway stubs, but you seem to be using the wrong title format -- then redirecting from the right ones, making page moves possible on by admin action. As Wikipedia:WikiProject California State Highways puts it:
[edit] Article Naming Convention
The contents of each article in this project should reside in California State Route XXX, with XXX being the route number; also, California State Highway XXX should redirect to the article as well.
- I'll use the correct format from now on (curse my laziness in using red links) --Geopgeop 07:03, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nevada State Route 171
Take a look at Nevada State Route 171/temp. This should address the copyright issue since none of this is based on that outside source. If its OK, please replace the aticle with this version. Vegaswikian 05:53, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Break
Unfortunately, I will be away from Wikipedia for a few months. My access to the site has been limited and I can only get on during a few hours a week. However, during summer my schedule changes, and thus I am unable to get back on Wikipedia.
You may contact me however, at Wikisource or by email (keep me updated on the arbcom case, I will be able to respond)...
I'm not really sure when I'll be returning. Possibly in August or September... although I signed up to take AP Chemistry, AP Language, AP U.S. History, Pre-Calculus, Spanish 4, Physics, and Eschatology and Hermaneutics. Don't know how the homework load will be. But rest assured... I'll be back.

[edit] Nevada
I can't find the specs online. Do you have the specs - or alternately some high-quality photos of recent signs - that I could make them from? --SPUI (T - C) 17:39, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- Hello, I noticed the recent switch to SVG signs for Nevada. I don't think the SVG signs are accurate in the current form, please consider adjusting them. First is the size and font of the numbers. Second is the lack of contours in the lower-right section of the state outline. See for example: (Geopgeop: The following was a comparison between the photo and old revisions of the SVGs. For archival purposes they are still here. See the actual description pages of the SVGs for links to the old revisions. --Geopgeop 06:08, 19 July 2006 (UTC))

Thanks. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 17:52, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Let me know in a few days if I haven't gotten around to it. --SPUI (T - C) 08:02, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Yes, while the SVGs do look quite off from the actual signs, the sign specifications that NevadaDOT e-mailed me had the shape of Nevada with less contours. I could e-mail you the specifications if you'd like. Plus, the height is right, that the sign is 36 units wide and tall, and the route number is 8 units tall, and the NEVADA text is 5 units tall. Come to think of it, I think I needed a 0 pixel white border around the image to show up in dark background. Details, details. Oh yeah, I uploaded the blank as well (Commons:Image:Nevada blank.svg), try tinkering with that. If there is an SVG outline of the state of Nevada, I would have used that for the Nevada shape. I still have a lot to learn with SVGs. --Geopgeop 07:38, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, SPUI is looking over the images I uploaded as well as the PDF of the sign specifications, but for one last time I went and uploaded a new version of Nevada 207.svg (and also Nevada blank.svg as well). With the comparison that you made on my talk page, check it out. I'll leave the rest up to SPUI. --Geopgeop 09:46, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- This looks much better, very close to the actual signpost. Thanks for your work here. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 13:07, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
I must be blind (technically I'm legally blind without my glasses) but I just found out now that you're the one who created the List of Nevada state highways list and uploaded Image:Nevada_State_Highway_Signposts_Carson_Range.jpg. (Smacks head...)
Counting me, you, SPUI, and possibly Vegaswikian and maybe Rt66lt, a Nevada State Highways WikiProject (cool, WP:NEVASH, reminds me of Vash the Stampede from Trigun - I have a bobblehead of him in my room, or the Nirvash from Eureka Seven; Neva works, there's a Cal Neva in Lake Tahoe, why not, there's WP:CASH, okay enough -) could be created at this point. --Geopgeop 10:13, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, but I'm not sure I would be of any further use for this project. I have only been to Nevada twice, and so have very little local knowledge. It was actually after a trip that I realized that there were no articles on Nevada highways and so started the list. All of my contributions would be based on online maps and NVDOT data, which I'm not sure would be very helpful beyond what is already there. But, that said, I'm willing to pitch in whenever needed. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 13:07, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] County maps and related - SVG
I would certainly consider making my U.S. city/place location maps in SVG format, but I've simply never dealt with vector images before. The current PNG format maps are simply based on preexisting state county-outline maps already used on Wikipedia. I'm not overly techy and I don't know if I'd be as comfortable dealing with SVG files. I have no issue with anybody deciding to make vector versions of maps I've already uploaded. Hope this answer clarifies things. Bumm13 04:50, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] EMule mascot image
I noticed you tagged Image:EMule mascot.png with {{wrong-license}}, however, the image is hosted at the Wikimedia Commons and as such, there isn't really anything we can do about it's copyright status here.
