This is a great idea about having the county road symbols....just two things wrong with them: the road digits are slightly too thick (bolded)...and YORK should be on top, while REGION should be on the bottom. The Legendary RaccoonFox • Talk • Stalk 01:12, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Whoa, Nelly!
Do we really need this depth of coverage on roads in your region? How about one article that covers the various major highways in the region? If there is enough material on a particular highway to have a separate article, then that's fine. You can put a line in individual town articles saying what highways pass through them, with a link or links to them. And then you are done. If you have all these categories, people are going to start thinking that we need articles on local streets and such, and that way lies madness. My advice: ditch all the "Roads in..." categories, and just have a "List of highways in the Golden Horseshoe" article, if there is some justification for having that instead of a "List of highways in Ontario". --Brianyoumans 22:26, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards
Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 15:53, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Overcategorization
I have made some nominations at WP:CfD to merge the Roads in City Categories into the Roads in Region Categories. It doesn't make sense to categorize a road by all of the cities it passes through. It would make more sense to list the cities in the article and to list the roads in the article about the city. If as you work through the project you find that you have more than 200 roads in a region category, then it may be time to start sorting the ones that are contained within cities in that region into subcategories. You are not yet close to that point, with it unlikely that you have 200 roads in the entire Category:Ontario roads structure. You can find the discussions at:
- Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 January 8#Roads in York Region
- Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 January 8#Roads in Simcoe County
- Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 January 8#Roads in Durham Region
- Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 January 8#Roads in Peel Region
I have decided that I am not going to propose any further merges until we see the results of these four. ~ BigrTex 18:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
