State updates

WP:MOSH

Missouri has been one of the more-inactive projects in recent months. Its heyday was before many of the project standards were adopted, including maps and intersection tables. Recently, an effort to modernize the project has gotten underway. Browse boxes, previously missing on the majority of articles, have since been implemented on all active routes. Some GIF shields were still in use; these have been replaced by the new-generation SVG shields. Currently, old-style cutout shields (used to denote decommissioned routes) in PNG format are being replaced with more accurate SVG shields. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scott5114 (talk • contribs) 06:52, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

WP:NJSCR

New Jersey's state and county route project has become unusually inactive. Formerly a well-worked on project, the project's articles are is some ways, "decaying". By the chart I creasted on my userpage, Out of at least 200 articles, about 3/4 are stubs and 2 articles are GA's. Ever since User:Northenglish left, the project has had less attention and most articles are being ignored, thus staying as the stub/start articles they are. A collaboration or drive, but its up to majority. Since Northenglish left, I have acclaimed the position of leader of WP:NJSCR and ask for you to work harder on these articles.Mitch32^contribs 01:27, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Rschen7754

Rschen7754 is the founder of this project, without him, WP:USRD wouldn't be what it is today. As an admin, he works hard to keep our encyclopedia free from trash and vandalism. I am proud to nominate him as the Featured Member. -- JA10 Talk • Contribs 01:23, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
