A reference gore?

Very puzzled. A topographical map reference in the Geography section is a bad thing? That topographical map is quite good for displaying the terrain of mountainous western North Carolina. Better than just describing it. And what is a "Reference Gore?" Would appreciate a calm discussion of this. my email address: jw@jwdevore.com

Silverstone, North Carolina

Hi-Wikipedia also serves as a gazatter. The Silverstone, North Carolina article has a citation that has a topo zone zone that shows the location of the community. The map also shows a cemetery which is nearby. It is unclear why you revert the edits involving the article. Thank you-RFD (talk) 10:05, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

North Carolina Highway 88

Long-term vandal--this was one of a few that hadn't been reverted. If you're fine with the edit, it's fine with me. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 03:24, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Population Figures

Why is this an issue? It is a standard practice in county articles to have the estimates in the infobox as well as in the article, though the figures aren't updated very often. I will reach out to the U.S. Counties WikiProject for advice but to be honest I don't see any issue with providing updated information. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Edits) 22:27, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I didn't realize that city and county templates didn't do the same of identifying both the census and estimate counts. I see where it adjusted the text saying estimate, I'll revert my revert. --WashuOtaku (talk) 00:19, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am working on revising the code for county infoboxes that will allow both the decennial census and annual estimates to be displayed simultaneously in county infoboxes. The revised code is now in the template's sandbox, and the fifth test case (York County, Virginia) here demonstrates how it will look. It is intended to behave just like it would in a city/town/other populated area's infobox. FYI Those use Template:Infobox settlement which have allowed the estimates alongside actual population figures for quite some time. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Edits) 01:57, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Split up not!

Because you thought I was working with the splitup of SCETV's stations, I did not. Cheers! Central Time 301 15:05, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Interstate 40 Business (North Carolina)

I'm not sure why Salem Parkway has the wrong dates in the infobox. The announcement was made that the name WILL change when construction is completed. I added a couple of sources that say that. One of the sources could be interpreted to mean the name is already in use, which is why I added the second one. Or is there a good reason for Salem Parkway being in the infobox as if it is the current name?— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:26, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Vchimpanzee: That date was not wrong, did you not see the entire subsection in History regarding the Salem Parkway and it's reveal and use from that day forward. It's not fake news, it was established in 2016. So please change it back or I'll start reversing all edits. Thank you. --WashuOtaku (talk) 01:14, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just not sure the name has actually been in use. As the sources said, the name will be in use once the highway is finished.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:38, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

They didn't bother with signage since reconstruction was being done on it, but they started using the name in NCDOT press releases (you can do a search on those to confirm). The fact remains that the naming was established in 2016, despite not going to be signed for another four years. We typically make route changes once NCDOT makes it official, even if it is not on the ground yet, so why is this suddenly different? --WashuOtaku (talk) 18:08, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Vchimpanzee: If you want others to weigh in, be my guest. It's not clean cut as we would like with those dates, but there is currently a transition taking place now. --WashuOtaku (talk) 18:15, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I just haven't seen a source that says the name is actually in use, so I think that's the best idea.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:31, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, one source that was not the NCDOT confirmed what I have been saying. However, I did see this and in a couple of places the photos identify the road as Salem Parkway even though they are photos of work that has already taken place, and not what the road will look like in the future. There's no way to incorporate that into the article that will make sense.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:38, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I only found one NCDOT press release that mentioned the name Salem Parkway but maybe I'm not doing it right. However, it did say the name change takes effect when the signs go up. That should probably be reflected in the article.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:45, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
