Routing of I-69

I've reverted several of your edits in articles regarding interchanges with I-69 in the Indianapolis area because you're making assumptions as to the routing of the future I-69. The actual route of I-69 from Martinsville to the existing I-69 on the northeast side of Indianapolis has not yet been determined. The state is currently investigating 5 possible routes, two of which would branch off of SR 37 somewhere between Martinsville and Indianapolis to an interchange with I-70. That would mean that there would not be a new interchange needed for I-69 at I-465. Furthermore, if that routing were to be used, the state might decide to route I-69 on the existing I-70 all the way through downtown Indianapolis to the I-70/I-465 interchange on the east side. While I would be surprised if the I-70 routing were chosen, at this point we just don't know what will happen, so it's best not to put any speculation into the route tables.

Disambiguation link notification for September 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited U.S. Route 281, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page I-2. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I-73 in Michigan

I-73 in Michigan has essentially been cancelled. To add it to articles like I-69 in MI or I-496 as you did falsely implies that Michigan is planning on building the necessary infrastructure and signing it as I-73. For that reason, I've reverted you. Imzadi 1979 → 02:51, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Self-published sources

In short, self-pubilshed sources (WP:SPS) cannot be used on Wikipedia, period. In the future, please base you additions to articles on sources that are not self-published that are deemed to be reliable. The various roadgeek websites do not meet this criterion, so they should not be in use. Imzadi 1979 → 20:27, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Extraneous markers

Regarding, this edit, we don't list all of those markers at the top of the infobox anymore. For accessibility reasons, it's a best practice to have a caption of some kind along with any graphics. When it comes to the marker graphics at the top of an infobox, that "caption" would be the name of the highway that appears underneath it. Because "Pennsylvania Turnpike" isn't the name that specifically corresponds to all four markers, but only to one of them, we omit the extra three. You should note that we have a section in the infobox with the label "Component highways" to list the various designations along a named highway, and it has space to give more details. There may be articles that do things the old way, but they should be updated to this new best practice. Imzadi 1979 → 20:00, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Today"

You do realize why it's a bad idea to use that word, right? The text in article will be out of date within 24 hours. Imzadi 1979 → 17:14, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Exit list notes

I just want to offer another tidbit of friendly advice regarding how to format things, this time notes in exit/junction lists.

Looking at:

"Future Western Terminus of I-269; Old planned I-69 route"

In writing standard sentences, we only capitalize proper nouns/names in English, or the word that starts the sentence. In this case, "western terminus" is not a proper noun, so it should not be capitalized. The word "old" should also not be capitalized as it doesn't start the line of text or a new sentence.

The addition should be formatted as"

"Future western terminus of I-269; old planned I-69 route"

If you have any questions, just reply below. Imzadi 1979 → 21:58, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Manual of Style-related tips

Per MOS:HEAD, headings are written in sentence case. This means only the first word and any proper nouns/names are capitalized. So, "Route description" is correct, not "Route Description".
Per MOS:RJL, junction lists should be in table format except when writing national-level articles on highways that have state-level subarticles. That guideline also says to spell out "boulevard", "road", "street", etc in junction lists. (Many style guides say that those words are only abbreviated in the case of addresses, so "123 Main St." but "Main Street" alone.)
Per standard English, words like "traffic light" aren't capitalized. You should review MOS:CAPS and apply the advice there to your writing.
Per MOS:BOLD, there are a few limited situations we format text in bold. Most of your usages of boldfacing are improper.

I hope this helps. Imzadi 1979 → 00:44, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just a quick question, but do you read what others are telling you? I've noticed that you've created section headings again today, and in doing so you've used Title Case instead of Sentence case, even though I've explained that our Manual of Style tells us to use one and not the other. Frankly, we're going to stop bothering to try to help you learn things. Imzadi 1979 → 22:07, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Im sorry. It's just how I'm used to typing... i'll try to get over it. -EBGamingWiki

December 2015

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Florida State Road 9B into Interstate 795 (Florida). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. It appears that you did a wholesale copy of the contents of Florida State Road 9B to create that page. That has been reverted. In the future, when I-795 is signed, we can just revise the SR 9B article to switch the name over instead of creating a totally new article.

Nomination for deletion of Template:I-22 aux

Boldface text

I suggest that you read MOS:BOLD for the limited cases where we use boldfacing on Wikipedia. To summarize, we only use it for:

The first occurrence of the title word/phrase of the article, and often its synonyms, in the lead section;
The first occurrence of the name of a redirected title in a section, when appropriate;
Certain subheading levels that are boldfaced automatically by the server;
Words in dictionary definition lists;
Table headings, as done automatically by the server;
Certain mathematical objects; and
Volume numbers in journal citations using {{cite journal}}.

That's it. We do not use boldfacing for emphasis; instead that should be in italics.

On a tangential note, we do not need to list future termini of highways in the infobox unless we add an "Unbuilt segment" section to the box. Even if we did, we shouldn't put the words "Current" and "Future" in boldface text for emphasis. Imzadi 1979 → 20:38, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Interstate 669

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Interstate 669, is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Imzadi 1979 → 19:48, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I know that it has been over a year for this, but I created I-669 as that was the proposed designation for existing I-269. I'm not going to recreate the page. EBGamingWiki (talk) 16:34, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I-66 and disambiguation

You should read the guidelines at WP:TWODABS. The current I-66 is clearly the primary topic as the other I-66 doesn't yet exist. Until it does, you page move should be reversed. If you have any questions, just reply here with them. Imzadi 1979 → 17:38, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rhode Island Route 78

In comparison, the Connecticut portion of the combined highway is quite short, so it doesn't need equal billing. If the situation called for it, we'd have renamed the article "Route 78 (Connecticut–Rhode Island)" (note that there's an en dash, not a plain hyphen there). Imzadi 1979 → 21:10, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Corridor X-1 and I-422

I had to revert your changes for legal reasons. Essentially you performed a copy and paste move, which is a very bad thing to do. By copying the content, which you didn't completely write yourself, and pasting it in the new location, you wiped out all attribution to the editors who wrote that. That violates the terms of the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license used on Wikipedia be denying attribution to the authors of that content (the "BY" part of the license). Never do that again.

I get that you couldn't just move the page yourself because the redirect at Interstate 422 has been edited since it was created. You can nominate it for deletion through the WP:CSD process. If you use Twinkle the process is 4 simple steps

Load the page that's in the way of the page move.
Select CSD from the Twinkle menu
Pick the "G6: move" option.
Supply the name of the page that would be moved along with a reason for the move.

In a little while, an administrator will see the request and process it. Once done, the Corridor X-1 page will be renamed to Interstate 422, complete with its full page history. The old name will be retained as a redirect to the new name, and you can edit the page to clean up any issues in the text. Imzadi 1979 → 16:48, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Differences between highway corridors and highways

By way of example, if you were to look up the termini of the I-69 corridor in federal legislation, you'd find an interesting anomaly. I-94 between Chicago and Port Huron was included in the I-69 corridor by Congress, but this does not mean that I-69 itself makes a U-turn in Port Huron and loops over to Illinois. Another example is I-73. That corridor has two northern termini in Michigan according to federal legislation: Sault Ste. Marie and Detroit. For funding purposes, I-73 overlaps I-75 from Toledo to Detroit, and it also follows the rough path of US 223 and US 127 between Toledo and Grayling before overlapping I-75 from Grayling to Sault Ste. Marie. That does not mean that if Michigan actually built the missing pieces that I-73 would extend north of Grayling nor enter Detroit, just as I-69 does not enter Chicago. In short, Congress includes other highways sometimes just to make them eligible for funding for improvements out of the same accounts as new construction. Imzadi 1979 → 01:43, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know, I know the difference. Like a expressway compared to an interstate. -EBGamingWiki 20:49 6 November 2016 (EDT)

Indiana State Road 22

I leave a reference that State Road 22 through Kokomo be removed here and the press release from INDOT. It says "INDOT transfer the road to the city of Kokomo meaning that state road 22 designation would have been removed. What reference do you have saying it is still a state road since INDOT does really do what you claim. The same thing happen to SR 26 through Lafayette. P.S. If the road is not state maintained then that means State Road 22 doesn't exist.Travisarch (talk) 23:28, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

State Road 22 still exists. It is just City maintained. Not all parts of State Roads are State-maintained. EBGamingWiki (talk) 01:51, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually in Indiana all state roads have to be state maintained. (Don't quote me but if I remember right Indiana has a state code (law) that states all "State Roads" are to be state maintained.) Btw driving pass and reporting back is OR.Travisarch (talk) 02:04, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to check out page 16 and page 17 here. Also the code is Indiana’s Highway and Street System (IC 8-23-1), it is on page 16 above, it states as followed "State Highway System. Includes highways and streets of statewide economic importance. INDOT is responsible for these roads. It specifically includes a highway to the seat of government in each county and connecting arteries and extensions through municipalities." that was a direct copy of the code. INDOT transferred the road to the city of Kokomo meaning it is not part of SR 22 anymore. If signs still exist, in streetview you can clear see they have been removed, it is in NO way part of SR 22.

tl;dr Indiana code IC 8-23-1 states SR 22 through Kokomo since it was transferred to the City of Kokomo it can't be part of the State Highway System.Travisarch (talk) 02:34, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I-11

FYI, I'm reverting your recent changes to Articles tangentially related to Interstate 11. At this point I-11 is still a proposal. The routing is not finalized, nor is it 100% certain that it will exist, or if it is built that it will keep the proposed I-11 designation or routing. Therefore it is not appropriate to say things on the Reno article like "I-11 will run through Reno when finished." It may, it may not. The freeway could be rerouted to flatter terrain in the Desert (like US 95 is), assigned a different designation (such as an extension of existing I-19), or even never built at all. Regards and Cheers, Dave (talk) 04:16, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I-11 was in the 'build' stage, as construction on the Boulder City Bypass is under work... EBGamingWiki (talk) 04:24, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Be sure to have sources for your claims, and not just thinking it's correct. Cards84664 (talk) 15:31, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Another piece of unsolicited advice comes from Congressional action on I-69 or I-73. When the powers that be decided to extend I-69 southward from Indianapolis, they did something curious. They included the existing highway north to Port Huron, and I-94 from Port Huron to Chicago, as part of the corridor. The I-73 corridor includes I-75 between Toledo and Detroit as well as I-75 from Grayling north to Sault Ste. Marie. These corridor designations are for funding purposes only and do not require I-69 to be signed on I-94 nor I-73 to eventually be signed on I-75. So, by analogy, Congress can include I-19 in the I-11 corridor to fund improvements to I-19 as part of the same funding pool as the rest of the corridor, but that does not mean I-19 is part of I-11. I'm pretty sure that I've explained this to you before. Imzadi 1979 → 20:18, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Boulder city bypass is under construction. However, this is in southern Nevada, nowhere near Reno. The I-11 article is quite clear in saying that while funding has been approved for a select few pieces of this proposal, the rest is tentative and in the very early stages of planning. Nowhere is there mentioned on any survey or even discussion about how the freeway would be routed to Reno. A lot can happen once those discussions start taking place. That's why it's not yet appropriate to say I-11 will serve Reno in the Reno, Nevada article. It may; it may not. As an example of what can happen, I'd suggest looking at the article for California State Route 190. The article is quite verbose, but in a nutshell, the route was planned, defined and legislated with a specific route in mind. The two end sections were built. But while discussions about how to build the middle piece occurred, the environmental movement succeeded in declaring most of the necessary right-of-way a wilderness area. That all but guarantees that CA-190 will NEVER be finished. However, in CA law it is still defined as a contiguous highway; not two non-contiguous pieces of highway. It would be absurd to include in the article for the Kern River, for example, that when finished CA-190 will cross it, as that is very unlikely to happen.

You have to realize that the Australian and Saffir-Simpson scales are defined for different types of maximum sustained winds. The former uses a 10-minute period and the latter uses 1-minute sustained winds. Because the JTWC only estimates 1-minute sustained winds, the Australian scale is not applicable to it.

Infobox hurricane current

FYI we are not a news service and nor are we obliged to keep the Infobox hurricane current in storm or season articles, when a system is active.

Actually since no comments have been made against our comments for the last 18 days, most people are against the current storm info and the discussion has been archived, my view is that the decision to remove has been made.

If you need to ask someone about the ATCF, I’d suggest going to Meow. EBGamingWiki (talk) 20:07, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

One more thing - The Weather Channel isn’t official by any stretch of the imagination. EBGamingWiki (talk) 20:11, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that the part about the intensities coming from the ATCF is only part true. The ATCF is NOT official for a good reason. It is the Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecasting. The ATCF is automated and does not take other estimates into account. For example, the ATCF had Norman 15 knots lower than what NHC put it at on the advisory. The ATCF is useful, but it has no official standing. Unless information comes directly from advisories and warnings that either a RSMC (NHC, CPHC, JMA, Meteo France Reunion, etc..) or a TCWC (JTWC as an example) have issued, it is not official and therefore may not be used as a credible source for the system's intensity. You can ask any of the more experienced editors in the project and they will tell you that the ATCF is not official by any means. Figfires^{Send me a message!} 22:06, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

They do say it’s official. If you go back in the editing section, my edits when Jebi was upped to Cat 5 was getting reverted because it was one on the ATCF, and wasn’t on a JTWC Warning. Whatever the ATCF says, it is put up on here. EBGamingWiki (talk) 22:56, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with EBGamingWiki, I think the intensities coming from the ATCF is true. WriteHelpPizza (Visit my talk page!) 1:12, 10 November 2018

Hamilton, MS tornado rating

You're the second person to list an EF4 rating for the Hamilton, MS tornado. Can you provide a source for that? I can't find one. TornadoLGS (talk) 19:41, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kenneth

Please wait until a source actually states it has made landfall... Kenneth is not making landfall currently. If you look at the track graphic for Kenneth, it shows the storm won't make landfall for at least a couple to a few hours. Noah^Talk 13:36, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I said “Making” landfall, not that it has. EBGamingWiki (talk) 13:37, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, satellite imagery clearly shows it is making landfall. EBGamingWiki (talk) 13:37, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Im changing it to "about to make landfall" as the eye isn't going on shore. A storm isn't "making landfall" until the eye begins the process of moving ashore. Noah^Talk 13:40, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn’t say that. The western part of the eye is onshore, right now.

EBGamingWiki (talk) 13:42, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I undid your change to Kenneth. Desmond doesn't count since that statement specifically states "at tropical cyclone intensity". Desmond was only a moderate tropical storm. Noah^Talk 21:14, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ann

Article of the month, by Jason Rees

History of tropical cyclone naming - The practice of using names to identify tropical cyclones goes back several centuries, with storms named after places, saints or things they hit before the formal start of naming in each basin. The credit for the first usage of personal names for weather systems is given to the Queensland Government Meteorologist Clement Wragge, who named tropical cyclones and anticyclones between 1887 and 1907. This system of naming fell into disuse for several years after Wragge retired, until it was revived in the latter part of World War II for the Western Pacific basin. Over the following decades, various naming schemes have been introduced for the world's oceans, including for parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The majority of these lists are compiled by the World Meteorological Organization's tropical cyclone committee for the region and include names from different cultures as well as languages. Over the years there has been controversy over the names used at various times, with names being dropped for religious and political reasons. For example, female names were exclusively used in the basins at various times between 1945 - 2000 and were the subject of several protests. The names of significant tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Australian region are retired from the naming lists and replaced with another name, at meetings of the various tropical cyclone committees.

Storm of the month and other tropical activity

Cyclone Fani was an extremely severe cyclonic storm that made landfall in Odisha, India on May 3. The storm achieved peak intensity as a near Category 5-equivalent cyclone with 3-minute sustained winds of 215 km/h (130 mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 250 km/h (155 mph), and a minimum central pressure of 937 hPa (mbar). Fani caused over $1.8 billion (2019 USD) in damage in India and Bangladesh and killed at least 89 people.

Since the last newsletter, twelve systems have formed.

Southwest Indian Ocean
In the Southwest Indian Ocean, Cyclone Kenneth made landfall in Mozambique approximately 1 month after Cyclone Idai, causing widespread flooding and destruction. Overall, Kenneth killed at least 52 people and caused more than $100 million in damage. Additionally, Tropical Cyclone Lorna formed over the eastern portion of the basin in late April and dissipated in early May without affecting land.
Australian Region
In the Australian Region, cyclones Lili and Ann formed in early May and both affected land. No deaths were reported, although Lili caused moderate damage in the Maluku Islands and East Timor.
South Pacific
In the South Pacific, a tropical depression formed in mid-may, but failed to intensify and dissipated a few days later.
South Atlantic
In the South Atlantic, Subtropical Storm Jaguar formed in late May and lasted for approximately two days before becoming extratropical.
Western Pacific
In the Western Pacific, three weak tropical depressions existed during the first half of May.
North Atlantic
In the North Atlantic, Subtropical Storm Andrea formed on the same day as Jaguar, but failed to intensify and dissipated on the next day.

The Eastern Pacific hurricane season began on May 15.
The Atlantic hurricane season will begin at 2:00 AM EDT on June 1.
The Central Pacific hurricane season will begin sometime after 12:00 AM HST on June 1.

Editorial for welcoming new users, by Hurricanehink

Every year, editors new and old help maintain the new season of season articles. The older users are likely used to the standards of the project, such as how to Wikilink and reference properly. Newer users might make mistakes, and they might make them over and over again if they don't know better. If anyone (who happens to read this) comes across a new user, please don't bite, because with enough pushback, they'll decide that this group of editors is too mean, and unfun. This is all a volunteer project; no one can force anyone to do anything. We're all on here because of our love of knowledge and tropical cyclones. If you find someone new, consider using the official WPTC welcome template - Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Welcome.

I also encourage that if you know any tropical cyclone researchers, please speak up and try recruiting them to edit. Veteran editors can't keep editing forever. Life gets busy, and the real world beckons!

Member of the month (edition) – Yellow Evan

Yellow Evan has been involved with WPTC since 2008. Since the last newsletter, Yellow Evan has taken 5 typhoon articles to good article status as well as created 2 more. Overall, he has created and/or significantly contributed to more than 130 good articles. Your work in the Western Pacific Basin is invaluable... Thank you for your contributions!

WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors

Dear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.

We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. Noah^Talk 03:23, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
