Good work on Montenegrin highway articles

Good work on the new articles!

I went through and tagged them for their wikiprojects and assessed them as Start-Class. The Highways WikiProject uses a variation of the same system used at the U.S. Roads WikiProject called the "Big Three". Every good road article has at least three sections: a Route description, a History, and a Junction list. The names of the sections aren't quite as important, but if all three are present, the article will be at least C-Class. If only two are present, Start-Class, and one or no separate sections, then Stub-Class. Since your articles have at least a History and "Major intersections" (the "i" needs to be lowercase per MOS:HEAD), they're Start-Class, which is a good thing!

We have a standardized template called {{jct}} that uses the same Lua module as the infobox to call up the graphic and make the link. It does a lot more, and I put it into use on your initial articles. I also tweaked a few of the junction list tables to fit with MOS:RJL, the section of the Manual of Style on "Road junction lists". Your tables were very close, but the columns were slightly out of the order we expect, and a distance value in miles should be provided to go with the one in kilometers.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Once again, good work, and keep it up! Imzadi 1979 → 00:05, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I really appreciate the help and clarification. I was aware of the Lua module, but for some reason, Montenegro was not in the source code. I tried to bypass it by manually inserting the information, which I know was a bad idea, but I figured I would finish that first and leave it as reference, then request Montenegro's information be included. I'll be sure to include route descriptions in the future, but for right now I won't include them only because they are the most tedious to write. Again, thanks for the tips, I'll be sure to use them in future articles. I'll keep you updated if anything should arise! --Dr. Lurk (talk) 00:54, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bosnian road signs

If you find out how the new route number signs in Bosnia and Herzegovina are supposed to look, I can make all of the images. Even better if you can find measured drawings like this. –Fredddie ™ 17:14, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

M-21 Motorway in Montenegro

Hello Dr. Lurk, In Montenegro, they updated the road system all across and all roads are different names now. The M-21 highway (Montenegro) article you created is now outdated, and I'm afraid the the M-21 is retired. However, you can just put it's retired and etc. Audi1merc2 (talk) 17:24, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
