Mini-infobox for proposed routes
editHello, I recently noticed your creation of NC 417, and while I am fine with most of it, the only parts I believe doesn't belong is the History in the infobox and the mini-infobox for proposed US 17 Bypass. I say this because there are countless proposals by local leaders wanting this or that, but if it was never pursued beyond the initial phase then it is merely a footnote. While discussion in the History section is fine, I believe the Infobox History and mini-infobox gives it more weight than it actually had, which was a idea that didn't go anywhere (no NCDOT support, no AASHTO, no nothing). --WashuOtaku (talk) 02:15, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
- That makes sense. I went ahead and removed these. I left a bolded mention of US 17 Bypass in the route designation subsection, but I removed it from the lead section as well. Roadsguy (talk) 02:49, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for December 15
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of highways numbered 140, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Interstate 140 (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

I have closed the merge discussion to incorporate the article into Interstate 74 in North Carolina. You are welcome to follow-up in making the merge happen as you discussed back in January. --WashuOtaku (talk) 13:35, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

1 year overdue merge
editIn this discussion, you volunteered to merge North Carolina Highway 74 into Interstate 74 in North Carolina. This happened almost a year ago, so why haven't you done so? HighwayTyper (talk) 17:15, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
- Honestly, I had forgotten about it after becoming busy with real life stuff soon after. I'm not entirely sure why I didn't just do it right away; I think I just overestimated how much work it would take to actually perform the merge, which turned out to not be much at all. Anyway, it's done now. Roadsguy (talk) 05:27, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
