Projection issues?

Have you tried this before? http://qgis.spatialthoughts.com/2012/04/tutorial-working-with-projections-in.html It worked for me - now just have to fix the horizontal stretch issue... --Rschen7754 07:21, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Also, would you mind taking a look at the KML on California State Route 186? I exported from NHPN, but it seems a bit off on Google, Bing, and the built in miniatlas. --Rschen7754 07:34, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

I got the mileage from https://www.pikepass.com/ and the mileage for say if you want mileage for Cotton County it would be http://www.odot.org/hqdiv/p-r-div/maps/control-maps/cotton.pdf off the ODOT site. The names for the tollbooths are on the pikepass site. byclipper — Preceding unsigned comment added by Byclipper (talk • contribs) 07:03, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

There was not any two decimal mileage on the OTA site. Just miles without decimals. The only two decimal mileage I could find was on the ODOT. byclipper — Preceding unsigned comment added by Byclipper (talk • contribs) 15:39, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Kansas Turnpike

I'm a bit concerned as to how this is going. Are our comments and suggestions helpful? Do you need help looking up specific sources? --Rschen7754 06:40, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

• Okay, here's some sources that don't seem to be tapped into enough on the article:
  • map archive
  • County map archive, not all the years are here
  • The turnpike history book by KTA
  • bit about the highway patrol
  • [1] the law

I think serious parts of the article will need to be rewritten; a lot of the history's missing cites, and it's in danger of failing the comprehensive criteria of FA. Might do a newspaper search soon. --Rschen7754 09:33, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

I-70/I-49

How do you add a to as in the I-70 in missouri? I know, I am dumb as far as Wikipedia is concerned. For your information, there are three stoplights on US 71 that cannot be removed as per a court order — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brycecordry (talk • contribs) 03:19, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

The jct template works in such a way that each highway designation has a reference number, from left to right. As an example: I-35 / I-44, which is coded as {{jct|state=OK|I|35|I|44}}, I-35 has the reference number 1 and I-44 has the reference number 2. You can then modify the output of jct by using various parameters that use these reference numbers; adding a to is one of these. In this case, say we want to add a to to I-44; I-44 is number 2, so we add |to2=yes and get the output:
I-35 to I-44. You can do various other things like this, like suppressing links with nolink1, nolink2, etc; adding directions with dir1, dir2, etc.

Being familiar with Kansas City's highway system, I am already aware of the stoplights on the Bruce Watkins Drive section of US-71. This information was removed from Interstate 49 in Missouri by another user because it is irrelevant to I-49 (which ends south of that segment at I-435). I agree with his decision to do so. A discussion of this segment of highway would be more appropriate in U.S. Route 71 in Missouri, which needs expansion anyway. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 03:34, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

OK, I edited US 71 in MO, so we will see how it goes. Brycecordry (talk) 22:36, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Notice of Dispute resolution discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute in which you may have been involved. Content disputes can hold up article development, therefore we are requesting your participation to help find a resolution. The thread is "Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Road junction lists".

Guide for participants If you wish to open a DR/N filing, click the "Request dispute resolution" button below this guide or go to Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/request for an easy to follow, step by step request form. What this noticeboard is: It is an early step to resolve content disputes after talk page discussions have stalled. If it's something we can't help you with, or is too complex to resolve here, our volunteers will point you in the right direction. What this noticeboard is not: It is not a place to deal with the behavior of other editors. We deal with disputes about article content, not disputes about user conduct. It is not a place to discuss disputes that are already under discussion at other dispute resolution forums. It is not a substitute for the talk pages: the dispute must have been discussed extensively on a talk page (not just through edit summaries) before resorting to DRN. It is not a court with judges or arbitrators that issue binding decisions: we focus on resolving disputes through consensus, compromise, and explanation of policy. Things to remember: Discussions should be civil, calm, concise, neutral, and objective. Comment only about the article's content, not the other editors. Participants who go off-topic or become uncivil may be asked to leave the discussion. Let the other editors know about the discussion by posting {{subst:drn-notice}} on their user talk page. Sign and date your posts with four tildes "~~~~". If you ever need any help, ask one of our volunteers, who will help you as best as they can. You may also wish to read through the FAQ page located here and on the DR/N talkpage. Please take a moment to review the simple guide and join the discussion. Thank you!

It is a part of List of casinos in the United States and they all need the same format to display correctly. I looking at the list right now, I see that someone else made a change that messed up the display, so that will need fixing. Most casino companies already have navigation templates for their casinos so doing this in a US list is not quite a necessary. Also some of these companies also have international casinos so the company template is the better solution in those cases. If you want to change the master format, then it probably should be discussed on Talk:List of casinos in the United States or at Wikipedia:WikiProject Gambling.

At some point, if we're being a tad ambitious, I might request maps for CR 510 (has an article) and CR 550 (will have one someday) as well. About the only other CR in the county I could imaging getting an article is CR 480; pretty much any other primary CR isn't going to be up to GNG goals. Imzadi 1979 → 22:59, 5 May 2013 (UTC) Wikidata Regarding the Wikidata: By German law the "Bundesfernstraßengesetz" is a "Bundesstraße" (in Germany) a "Fernstraße" and not a "Außerortsstraße". It may be that in the USA and in the English language the term "road" is not determined. In Germany there is the term "Außerortsstraße" a clear legal basis and is limited by law to a type: all streets outside built-up areas according the traffic act ("Straßenverkehrsordnung"). It may be that there is a need for discussion. But simply to say that I do not know what I am talking about and reset my contributions that I find it is not alright! By the way: the correct translation for "road" according to the dictionary is "Landstraße" or "Überlandstraße". These terms are in German not determined. --Labant (talk) 22:03, 12 May 2013 (UTC) (talk page stalker) Ever heard of WP:BRD? I'm not sure if it applies on Wikidata, but it most definitely should.

I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles. We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article. Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks!

Omitting the overlap mileages means that the table is lying about the distance between the SH 11 junction and the north split with US 138. There's also a relatively minor issue at US 50, where CDOT decided to start at exactly 95 rather than the more precise 95.018 miles from Oklahoma to the split. (.018 miles isn't much, but it's very likely that there are larger differences on other routes.) It's not ideal to recalculate the mileage north of US 138, since mileposts are posted according to the official mileage. For reasons that should be obvious, I'm changing it back. If you have a problem with this style of mileposting, why not start with a featured article? --NE2 08:03, 18 November 2013 (UTC) I've gone ahead and fixed the formatting - the {{jctint}} templates have been significantly upgraded since you were last active. --Rschen7754 09:57, 18 November 2013 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification for November 25 Hi.

We noticed though that when you edited List of state highways in Texas, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page I-37 (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

What exactly are the issues you have having? I use QGIS to make my maps and I'm wondering if the tricks I use to fix the problems are the only things stopping you from doing svg maps. I couldn't find any information on what SVG editor you're using so I will assume for now you're using Inkscape. Every single thing is grouped together at the first open of the SVG. Just hit ungroup once. Extra boxes in background. When I use the composer, three boxes appear in the background. One is the background of the map I will be using (the one that's this color per current MTF standards), another is a white box, and finally a grey box. The #f7f7ed background color can be specified in the QGIS composer under the item properties tab, general options header, and background color button. I just delete the two extra boxes. This one might just be with older versions of Inkscape (I still run 0.46), but the viewBox attribute causes issues for me when resizing the file. I manually delete the viewBox by either going into the XML editor and deleting the attribute or if I'm doing a mass creation and want to get this out of the way early, open as a text file and delete the line viewBox="0 0 [foo] [doo]". For me, the background box does enlarge itself after deleting the viewBox, but I just go to Document Properties and resize to the background box. Line segments outside of the limit of interest. This one may just be with me due to the way I go through the data for a state's highway system before mass map creation but occasionally I'll get road segments way outside of the LOI such that when I do zoom extents, the LOI ends up being really small. To fix, while the types of lines are grouped together, I rubberband select all areas outside of the LOI to catch these extraneous segments. Also when this is done, I combine (Ctrl+K) all lines in each type of route together (state routes, US routes, Interstates). The stroke width usually gets screwed up when combining but that's just a matter of going into the Fill and Stroke box. Lots of empty groups. I think the QGIS SVG composer creates an empty group for every type of thing composed (state routes, US routes, Interstates, toll roads, county lines, state lines, urban areas, water, etc.) Rubberband select everything in the LOI and hit ⇧ Shift+1 to invert the selection and delete the empty groups (before deleting, make sure a line or two didn't get selected here) I apologize in advance if you already know these troubleshooting methods but I just wanted to give you a heads up. If there are other issues that you've encountered but I didn't mention, feel free to let me know about those. Since I'm contacting you, your method of replying as noted at the top here may override my talk page request. Thanks! —Mr. Matté (Talk/Contrib) 13:23, 3 January 2014 (UTC) Re File:Ok-325 path.svg, it looks like the data you used caused the million little segments, not QGIS (note that I'm just guessing since the data link on the map no longer works). I typically use the TIGER Census data to build my maps and the polylines from there do have multiple points; things like that have never happened to me using Census data. I guess this is moot since as you stated, you don't do .svg maps but I just wanted to add my $0.02 (2007) ($0.023 in 2014). —Mr. Matté (Talk/Contrib) 19:07, 3 January 2014 (UTC) A reference problem Hi! Some users have been working hard on Category:Pages with broken reference names. Here you added a new reference <ref name="odot-control-stephens"/> but didn't define it. This has been showing as an error at the bottom of the article. "" Can you take a look and work out what you were trying to do? Thanks -- Frze > talk 13:56, 7 January 2014 (UTC) File:MISH FA map.png You wouldn't be able to do one of those for Utah would you? I'd like to have FA/A/GA but I'd only ask for it to be updated at most monthly so there's not constant updates of GAs. --AdmrBoltz 22:28, 9 January 2014 (UTC) I'm so lucky we already have one for South Dakota. TCN7JM 00:53, 10 January 2014 (UTC) Hahaha. --AdmrBoltz 01:56, 10 January 2014 (UTC) Might be something I could do. TCNJM is rounding up all the GA KMLs for me so that this would be possible. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 03:36, 10 January 2014 (UTC) Farm to Market Roads in Texas (1-99) Have you seen my work I've done to that page!
