@Anomalocaris: - I updated my signature a few days ago with the code you suggested. Please forgive my naivety, but what exactly is a "lint error"? I've been seeing mention of this lately on a few talk pages, but all I know about "lint" is what I clear out of the clothes dryer... -- LJ ↗ 00:36, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! For more info, see WP:Linter. —Anomalocaris (talk) 06:19, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for February 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Nevada State Route 169, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Muddy River (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Douglas County, NV

I'm not a regular Wikipedia editor anymore, but I noticed some edits you made nearly a decade ago to the Douglas County, Nevada article. I was reading articles related to metropolitan Sacramento, California. At the time you made your edits--reverting bot edits you thought were "inappropriate" or that couldn't be true "by no stretch of the imagination"--the Sacramento article was properly sourced and included Douglas County/Gardnerville Ranchos, Nevada.

US Primary statistical areas are updated every 4-5 years. There should be an update this year. The current delineations include Douglas County in the Reno-Carson City-Fernley, NV Combined Statistical Area, but Douglas County was a component of the Sacramento CSA despite the extent of your imagination. Here's a 2013 US Bureau of Labor Statistics report: https://www.bls.gov/regions/west/news-release/2014/unemployment_sacramento_20140221.htm

Rather than going with what you can or cannot imagine, you might check the Federal Register for Standards for Delineating Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas.

Cf. OMB BULLETIN NO. 10-02 (2009) and OMB BULLETIN NO. 13-01 (2013). (Reno CSA is coded 456 and Sacramento CSA is coded 472).--47.208.9.47 (talk) 21:53, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Summerlin Parkway/Nevada State Route 529

Recently, I took notice of the jurisdiction switches of Summerlin Parkway from the City of Las Vegas and Nevada State Route 529 to the city of Carson City. Would it be appropriate to move Summerlin Parkway to Nevada State Route 613 and Nevada State Route 529 to U.S. Route 395 Business (Carson City) to better reflect these changes in jurisdiction? Thanks. TextClick (talk) 01:14, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would leave Summerlin Parkway as is, per WP:COMMONNAME, at least until the SR 613 moniker becomes more well known (or at least signed in the field). However, I do think it would be appropriate to move SR 529 to the business route title now.

Question about the junction limits for I-80.

Hi. My name is Christopher Thompson. I wanted to talk about that last edit. Is there a certain rule on the I-80 page for keeping only 8 junctions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christopher Thompson (talk • contribs) 18:26, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

According to the WikiProject U.S. Roads Standards page section on Infoboxes, the major junctions listed in the infobox should be limited to the most major interstates (typically those ending in "0" or "5"). For a nationwide article such as I-80, we also try to ensure that there is not too much representation from one state.

NV highways under 1 mile

Have you been watching Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/M-144 (1937–1939 Michigan highway)? I was wondering if you'd considered merging NV highways shorter than one mile into a list of some sort. –Fredddie ™ 03:28, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I haven’t been following that discussion. I have briefly considered combining some short Nevada SR articles into a single list in the past. I didn’t do any work on consolidating in part because past precedent has supported separate primary state highway articles, and other than maybe one AFD Nevada SR articles haven’t faced much scrutiny. I also seem to recall some discussion about the “shorter than one mile” criterion for such lists being somewhat arbitrary. I have given some thought to combining articles on some pre-1976 state routes into RCS-style lists, as there are still a number of these that are stub and aren’t able to be merged into the history of post-1976 route articles—I haven’t been super active in editing lately due to non-wiki life, so haven’t implemented this.

If I grow a wild hair, I might throw something into a draft and work on it. My current state of joblessness has left me plenty of time for the wiki. –Fredddie ™ 19:29, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Like today: Draft:List of state routes in Nevada shorter than one mile. –Fredddie ™ 20:08, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
