[edit] Open for nomination?
Is this already active? There's a highway article that I think deserves some attention from the wider community and would like to nominate it. The highway is the Merritt Parkway. --Polaron | Talk 14:27, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- Go right ahead. The first article will be selected next Wednesday. --Holderca1 14:34, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Ridge Route
This already has four votes; can we skip the bureaucracy and get to work? Or do people need time to get books? --NE2 02:19, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hopefully... WP:FARC looks ominous... --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 03:56, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
- What happened here? I'm waiting on a book through interlibrary loan, but why did almost nothing else happen to the article? --NE2 18:42, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- This issue has been discussed at IRC a few times. But basically, we've complained many times that this project is falling apart. We've got too few editors here, after many having left because of SRNC. Also, we wasted teh SRNC time on the debates and not on fixing the articles that got created during that time. Unfortunately, we're still trying to dig out from SRNC. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 00:25, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Perhaps we need to address this, go down the WP member list, see who is still active. Then possibly consolidate projects. Perhaps consolidating WP:USRD, WP:USH, and WP:IH. This would leave us with one project covering all national roads and provide support to the state WPs. It would also consolidate conversations about the entire project to one project as well. I would propose merging all three to U.S. Roads. --Holderca1 10:45, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Possibly I suppose... yeah, have some verification system. And bout consolidating, might be good to send to WT:USRD first. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:14, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What to do when article is chosen
I think that whenever an article is chosen, the nominator, the supporters, or someone familiar with the road should create a list of specific tasks that need to be done. This way, people who are less familiar with the road can help out in the improvement. --Polaron | Talk 15:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Nevada State Route 401 expansion
I just added a shield for the Nevada State Route 401 article. Anybody who knows more about the road than me should add the rest. ---- DanTD 22:26, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
