I reverted the recent change by an anon IP. I'm just gonna trust the at least one logged in person more than the anon. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 01:28, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

- Some of us anon's have dozens -- if not hundreds -- of edits. In my case, I have a username, but my work computer rejects cookies... and I gave up having to sign in every five minutes months ago. The contribution history will help you if need be... 147.70.242.21 01:20, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] history_educator
What has me curious is why is an entire INTERstate highway located in only one state? Doesn't the meaning of interstate involve several states and not just one?
- List of intrastate Interstate Highways --SPUI (talk) 23:19, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
- It's part of the Interstate Highway System -- the name was spelled out in a bill signed by President Eisenhower in the 1950s -- believe it or not, all 50 states (and Puerto Rico) have Interstate Highways (many of which don't have that red, white and blue shield). 147.70.242.21 01:20, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- I-4 is also one of the only parent interstates in the continental US that has NO spur routes. Wslupecki 14:07, 4 August 2006 (UTC).
[edit] {{Infobox Interstate}}
Per the mediation on Interstate 76 (east) the routeboxint must stay. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 02:36, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
I put a fresh routeboxint in earlier (as I understand, that's the project's specs), and now it's gone, replaced by the original template. Who's in the right? And if it's me, can someone put it back, please? --WhosAsking 23:23, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
- I would say that you are in the right because of the Mediation Cabal. It's also happened at Talk:Interstate 76 (east), see that page for more details. We're working on a solution now. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 02:01, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
- As an outside opinion, it seems to me that the results of the Mediation Cabal and the RfC should stand. SPUI, I've seen a lot f your edits and you're not stupid, but I think you're being unreasonably obstinate here. Considering the circumstances, this seems like an awfully silly thing to be digging your heels in opposition to (maybe not quite to the level of WP:LAME but getting there). As WP:DR states, if you still can't come to a resolution, the last step is to ask for arbitration and this really shouldn't have to escalate to that. howcheng {chat} 07:39, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Malfunction Junction
I heard from both news articles (I cannot locate those at this time) and a now shut-down Tampa Blog, that the I-4/I-275 Interchange, better known as Malfunction Junction, actually earned the notorius nickname about five years after the interchange was built in 1965. At that point, the junction was already seeing rush hour backups due to the immense ammount of traffic that the interstate was handling. This was blamed mostly on the rapid growth of Tampa in the 1970s. Wslupecki 12:11, 1 August 2006 (UTC). Now with the current reconstruction, I'm sure that has made everyone's commute just that much more frustrating. However, I am quite thrilled that the construction is almost done, so that traffic can finally flow through the junction more efficiently and that rotten nickname will finally disappear as a result.

[edit] Cleanup Issues
Sorry for the mass confusion regarding the I-4/Crosstown connector project. I was using the original, full of mumbo-jumbo, template for that section, which contained a ton of misspellings and confusing phrases. I have since revised the section and added a link to the project page (which is in the Tampa Bay Interstates website). I have also removed the cleanup tag now that the article is neat and clean. If there are any issues regarding the revisions, please contact me via my talk page. Wslupecki 12:24, 1 August 2006 (UTC).
For those of you who are already well familliar with the proposed I-4/Crosstown Connector project. I am planning to eventually spilt the I-4/Crosstown Connector section from this and the Lee Roy Selmon Crosstown Expressway article, and create a new section entitled "Interstate 4/Crosstown Connector". For details, visit the Selmon Expressway Talk Page.
[edit] History Expansion
Thanks to a website I found that lists historical info about Florida's Interstates. I was able to dramatically update the history section on I-4. I have listed a link to the website in the Reference section of the article. Wslupecki 14:05, 4 August 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Split I-4/Crosstown Connector section
I believe that this section should be split into its own section entitled Interstate 4/Crosstown Connector. Please visit the Lee Roy Selmon Crosstown Expressway discussion to voice your opinion.
Split Complete. I have created the new I-4/Crosstown Connector article after much planning. As a result, all pertinent info on the Selmon Exwy and I-4 pages have been replaced with a link to the new article. Wslupecki 03:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC).
