Hey, I was wondering if you could possibly create an interchange for the spaghetti bowl in Salt Lake City? A Google Maps overview is here. If the image could contain I-15, I-80, SR-201 and 900 East, that would be great. Thanks! --Admrb♉ltz (talk) 02:32, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.

We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Hey man, how have things been? Are you thinking about making a wiki comeback? We could definitely use the help. =) – TMF 04:43, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Yay! Nice to see you back!Mitch/HC32 00:54, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks its good to be back. I see your resume is ridiculous since we last talked, congrats on your success! —JA10 Talk • Contribs 00:58, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Uh well - that's a story for a rainy day. 2009 has not been great to me though. :( - Mitch/HC32 01:00, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Also, come on IRC if you can :) -Mitch/HC32 01:01, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

We moved to #wikipedia-en-roads - in 2008.Mitch/HC32 01:13, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have found some concerns with the article which you can see at Talk:State Route 1002 (Lehigh County, Pennsylvania)/GA1. I have placed the article on hold whilst these are fixed. You are being notified as you are a major contributor to the article. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 06:41, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for creating a map for Sierra Highway. Looks nice. Dave (talk) 21:37, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry JohnnyAlbert10, but I replaced your version of the map with the one that all CASH articles use. Gill Giller Gillerger (talk) 04:14, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Was that really necessary!? --Rschen7754 (T C) 05:32, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes, that was really necessary. What's wrong with establishing uniformity in CASH articles? Gill Giller Gillerger (talk) 06:08, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

I'll explain more in a bit, but in short your map was worse than his was (as I am told by others). It does no good to make things consistent if you make the articles worse in the process. --Rschen7754 (T C) 06:11, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Please explain how the map I uploaded was worse and suggestions to fix it, then. I only spent about five minutes for the first draft. Gill Giller Gillerger (talk) 06:13, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

It needs labels. Also, this was completely unnecessary - JA10's map was fine. The CASH maps do not need to be consistent, as long as they are fully compliant with WP:USRD/MTF standards. --Rschen7754 (T C) 06:28, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

I thought that by "worse" you meant the highlighted alignment I traced was off - that's the area where I'd be willing to fix. And JohnnyAlbert10's map version does not show segments of other highways being freeways or regular routes. And I don't know why his map also makes US highways bigger than state routes. Gill Giller Gillerger (talk) 06:55, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, then somebody will replace your map when it comes FAC time. (And considering this is GA, it's not that far off, as long as you haven't already chased Dave away from CASH). When you see problems like that, you either talk to JA10 or you download his map and fix it yourself; it's rude to just replace his map for frivolous reasons.

It's probably not a good idea to become JA10's enemy. JA10 actually started his Wikipedia career the same way that you did: we accused him of being a sockpuppet of a banned user. However, instead of harassing users and creating socks, and messing up articles, he was willing to learn and to improve. And he did improve. To the point that we lost a valuable contributor during his extended absence, and to where we gave him trust. I see a lot that you could learn from his example. (JA10, don't feel obligated to reply to this; I realize it's sort of an awkward comment to leave on your talk page). --Rschen7754 (T C) 07:05, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

His map is kind of wrong too, it has the Sierra Hwy ending at I-80 and beginning as SR 14 when it actually begins as SR 14U.—JA10 Talk • Contribs 15:40, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Fixed. Gill Giller Gillerger (talk) 18:11, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for creating maps for Rhode Island Routes 403 and 99 - they both look great! Cheers, Rai•me 02:53, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the maps of Florida State Road 50, Florida State Road 50A, and Florida State Road 52. I would like you to keep holding off on Florida State Road 54, though. There's currently no route description for it, and the map of SR 52 that covers SR 54 ignores the realignments that have taken place on that road for the past 15 years. ----DanTD (talk) 22:16, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the RI 37 map - as with the others, it looks great! Cheers, Rai•me 00:14, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for making a map for Nevada State Route 447. I had a couple questions for you regarding that. Is there a reason why it's oriented the way it is, with north pointing to the upper left? Also, what GIS data did you use for your source? I've been interested in learning to make maps for Nevada route articles, but couldn't find a statewide data source for the state highways. Regards. --LJ (talk) 19:01, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

I was wondering why the map itself is oriented as it is, not the north arrow. I previously read the tutorial you linked to. The only source data I could find that covers all of Nevada is the Tiger/ESRI data. It seems to cover *everything* in the state, but is inconsistent in labeling and had multiple errors that I didn't feel like dealing with previously. That's why I was asking what GIS data/shapefiles you used, to see if you found a better data source. --LJ (talk) 22:37, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Just a happy Birthday message to you, JohnnyAlbert10, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day!

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to 2010 World Series, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 05:27, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of April. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 200. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. Hope we can see you in April.

Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of WikiProject Good articles. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.

If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline. Remember that even if you are not interested at this time, you can always re-add your name to the list whenever you want. The deadline to sign your name on the page above will be November 1, 2012. Thank-you. 13:28, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified. If user's don't sign on this page, they will be moved to an "Inactive Participants" list rather then be being removed from the entire WikiProject. Sorry for any confusion.--Dom497 (talk)15:18, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
