"American Highways"

According to O, I should ask you about the publication "American Highways" that's cited on U.S. Route 322 in New Jersey. As I said on Wikipedia:WikiProject Highways/Peer review/U.S. Route 322 in New Jersey, it could be a great resource; does it contain a full history of the U.S. Highway system, or just a bit about US 322? Thank you. --NE2 00:00, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I didn't cite in on U.S. Route 322 in New Jersey, I originally cited in on U.S. Route 322 but removed it. -- JA10 TalkContribs 02:53, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Well, what exactly is it? Does it have a detailed history of the system? Would it be useful for other articles? --NE2 15:11, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but I don't feel like answering any more questions here, since you accused me of not reading the issue. -- JA10 TalkContribs 19:32, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
That was O that I "accused", since he did all the editing on US 322 in New Jersey. --NE2 14:46, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

According to WorldCat, "American Highways" is a quarterly periodical.[1] Which issue was it in? --NE2 19:40, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I can't remember, I just went to the library and saw the 1973 version. But it does mention alot of U.S. Route information. -- JA10 TalkContribs 22:04, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
I've asked for it through interlibrary loan, and hopefully will receive it and will be able to improve other articles with it. --NE2 23:10, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Can you please comment on my proposal to move it to Pennsylvania Route 19 (1920s) or merge it into Pennsylvania Route 5 (1920s)? Thank you. --NE2 17:23, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I'll take a look at the sources you brought up and make my decision to merge it. -- JA10 TalkContribs 18:00, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Interesting, the US 11/US 106 alignment, looks like it was first PA 5, then after the 1926 US Highway System, PA 19. But I didn't see a "PA 39" on any of your links, so yeah, It might be a good idea to move it to either to PA 19 or PA 5. PA 19 makes more sense to me, but I'm not sure It's accurate. -- JA10 TalkContribs 18:33, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Leaving USRD

Hey man, I'm sorry with what happened. I didn't know NE2 was this distressful.

I will not give in to his actions, and neither should you. This NE2 character is really starting to get on my nerves. —Imdanumber1 (talk contribs  email) 05:22, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, but it's best if I contribute to the Baseball WP for a while until things can get back to normal. -- JA10 TalkContribs 05:25, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Shawn Green

Hi. Not sure what happened, but you seem to have deleted the official site (mlb.com ... it should always therefore be an EL), and we now have two baseball reference site ELs ...........--Epeefleche 01:33, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Yah, that was a mistake, sorry. I was trying to add a {{baseballstats}} template there. -- JA10 TalkContribs 02:00, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
All fixed, I copied and pasted the wrong text (ESPN link) without knowing, sorry. -- JA10 TalkContribs 02:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Arbitration request for User:NE2

Good evening. An arbitration request has been opened for NE2. I have placed you as an involved party as you have recently been involved in NE2's past RFCs. You are therefore invited to take part in the discussion at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration#NE2. Thank you. —Imdanumber1 (talk contribs  email) 03:18, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Flag of Georgia

Hi, just wanted to say that the flag of Georgia on your user page is actually the flag of Georgia (country), not Georgia (U.S. state), which I imagine is most likely the one you visited. Here's the Georgia (state) flag: . Cheers! --Targeman 01:48, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

An important letter

Dear roads editor,

You may have noticed some changes at WP:USRD lately. Some of them, like the cleanup templates and the stub templates, have been astounding and great. Unfortunately, others have been disturbing.

This has become evidenced by the departure of a few prominent editors at USRD, a few RFC's, and much fighting among USRD editors.

After the second RFC, many of us found the opportunity to take a step away from Wikipedia for a while--as a self-imposed wikibreak, or possibly on vacation.

The result of such introspection was that many of us were placing ourselves in a "walled garden" and on a self-imposed pedestal of authority over the roads department. Also, we were being hostile to a few users who were not agreeing with us.

In fact, IRC has been the main incarnation of this "walled garden." Decisions have been made there to conduct grudges and prejudices against a few valued USRD users with poor justification.

For this, we have come to apologize. We have come to ask your forgiveness.

In addition to this, we hope to work as one USRD team from now on and to encourage cooperation instead of the promotion of interests.

All users are welcome to collaborate on IRC, the newsletter, or anywhere else at USRD.

In the future, please feel free to approach us about any issues you may have.

Regards,

Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 17:11, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
