Undated

Look what I found!

Thanks, but I already know about that page. That is how I was able to add the "established" dates and "History" sections for the Georgia State Route articles I expanded in the 2013 USRD Cup, Round 1.
I appreciate that you are trying to help me with external links, etc. Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 14:18, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Re: Bannered routes

I've also got some sandboxes for Bannered routes of U.S. Route 460 and Bannered routes of U.S. Route 501, not to mention plans for nearly several others. Right now, I'd like to be able to sort them out from south to north and west to east, and in the case of US 441 I'm interested in getting all the details taken care of, primarily for the Florida routes. I'm not sure what I'd do differently for your new version of the List of Bannered US Routes, but one thing I'd like to be able to do is add supplemental bannered route lists of auxiliary routes in navboxes, i.e.; in the navbox for US 1 where you see the Bannered routes, you'd have a link to bannered routes of US 301/501/601 in smaller type and parentheses. -------User:DanTD (talk) 17:39, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

I noticed those, as well. I think that most, if not every, highway should have a "Bannered routes of . . ." page (well, at least those with at least 2 bannered routes). As for my reformatting of the "List" page, I have been re-sorting them alphabetically by location. I just hope that you and the others at USRD can help out with the reformatting (after I finish, that is). Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 00:35, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
What exactly are you trying to do with the list in your sandbox? Outside of alphabetizing the list, I don't see how it's any different than what is there already. –Fredddie™ 02:22, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
If you haven't noticed, I have been adding routes that are missing and correcting locations of those that aren't. I have noticed that most of the routes' links (even redirects) don't even exist. Most of the ones I have added were either from the "Bannered routes of U.S. Route . . ." page, the "U.S. Route . . ." page, the "U.S. Route in <state>" pages, or were on Rand McNally's Road Atlas (or their mapping site). Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 10:47, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Freddie, I've been looking to do something similar, but I want to add much more detail than what's available. Admittedly though, I haven't looked at Rand McNally's website as a source, although their own maps can come in handy. -------User:DanTD (talk) 03:26, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

The USRD newsletter needs your help!

We could definitely use your help at the USRD newsroom. We're looking for state updates! If you could write a short snippet about a paragraph or so long for how you've improved many of Georgia's articles during the USRD Cup, we would greatly appreciate it. With your help, the newsletter should be out in a few days. Cheers! TCN7JM 04:00, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Could you specify exactly what you had in mind? I would be willing to help, but writing is not my strong point (more mathematically-minded). I appreciate it. Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 04:52, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
Three sentences about what you did to improve Georgia's articles. You did find a map archive, right? Mention that. –Fredddie™ 04:54, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
"Map archive"? If you are talking about GDOT's list of state maps, then yes, I did. Other than that, I don't know what you are talking about. Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 11:54, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
What you posted was fine, but it was in the wrong spot. I got it straightened out, though. –Fredddie™ 13:40, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. Should I add/edit anything (links, extra details, etc.)? Thank you for offering to add some input from me into the newsletter!
Also, should any information be added to the state improvement section for Georgia? Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 18:20, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Category:Georgia county highway navigational boxes

I have added a wrinkle to the templates at Category:Georgia county highway navigational boxes. Please try to incorporate it on the rest of the templates. If this is a problem ping me.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:06, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
