[1] Please don't do this again. A project talkpage is not the place to dump large amounts of text. --Rschen7754 00:14, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
- First, I want to say that I don't like my reply (or my "re-reply", for that matter) being removed (without a courtesy asking/telling me why). User Michael J asked me a question, and I thought the easiest way to answer him was to paste my researched route log for Georgia in the edit box.
- Second, I want to re-write the List of numbered highways in Georgia (U.S. state) page, including all of the state routes. If there is any way that I could do that, could some people please help me? Thank you. Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 00:36, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
- The reasons for the removal were given in the edit summary both times; WT:USRD is not your personal sandbox, and pasting that much text makes the page very hard to navigate. It is definitely possible that there are missing routes from the Georgia page. Unfortunately, a lot of us are hard-pressed for time as it is; speaking for myself, I'm bogged down with graduate school and trying to get two articles to FA and one to GA while serving as an admin and OTRS member. If you came into IRC though we might be able to give you pointers though. --Rschen7754 00:51, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
- We do have a new Georgia road editor though: Concertmusic (talk · contribs). --Rschen7754 01:10, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Navbox links
Assuming the navbox isn't deleted, this edit had to be reverted. When a link points to the page it is on, like a link to User talk:Morriswa will here, MediaWiki places it in bold instead of a blue or red link. By changing the navbox to use the redirects, they'll stay blue on the article where the navbox is used. For that reason, the links have to be piped in navboxes to link to the direct location of the articles, even if the displayed text is different. Imzadi 1979 → 13:37, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Just giving you the heads up. You ran a script on this article to "fix the bare references". However, if you check your edit it actually introduced lots of citation errors: [2]. In actual fact, there were no bare links to fix ([3]), your script seems to have identified WP:SFN templates as "bare references" and removed them, so ideally this needs to be reported to the script author, since it seems like the script is actually damaging the referencing in some articles.

Texas road importance categories
I think you accidentally assigned the Texas road transport importance categories to Tennessee. ;) -happy5214 13:36, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
- Oops! Thank you for noticing and correcting them. Also, thanks for continuing to make more of those categories. Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 23:59, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
