IP vandal

Can you look through Special:Contributions/184.13.156.251 and see what needs reversion? This IP was inserting blatantly false information into the articles for I-68 and a handful of others, so I suspect that his edits in the Carolinas may be more of the same. Imzadi 1979 → 01:29, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The biggest change was I-540/NC 540 page, which I already made corrections on; person basically forced it onto the new junction list format but made several errors from there. Other pages I noticed simply added unopen exit numbers and such, reversed them. Probably new to it all and simply trying to help, probably didn't even notice the warnings. --WashuOtaku (talk) 04:16, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If the future exit number is known, it would be more incorrect to remove it, but their other edits added HOV lanes to a two-lane highway in West Virginia and marked an open interchange as closed along I-68. That's why I questioned what he was doing... good faith only goes so far until I can prove the information false. Imzadi 1979 → 04:44, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Interstate 74 in North Carolina

Where are you getting the information about what you are changing?— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 19:04, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NCDOT Projects, I have them listed in refs. --WashuOtaku (talk) 19:06, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The only refs I see are i73insc.com and a site which User:Imzadi1979 says is unacceptable.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 19:28, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'll fix that later today. --WashuOtaku (talk) 19:30, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I looked at the wrong references. There must have been some other stuff changed.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 17:35, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So, we cool? --WashuOtaku (talk) 18:07, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there were things fixed. I didn't see it, but you did fix the one problem I told you about in addiiton to everything else. As long as one of the references is good, Imzadi won't have anything to complain about. — Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 18:38, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I-274

Do you think it's a good idea to merge Interstate 274 into Winston-Salem Northern Beltway until the designation is finalized? –Fredddie ™ 23:23, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is probably a good idea, I-840 is currently merged with the Greensboro Urban Loop and that is a signed and labeled future route. I'm all for it. --WashuOtaku (talk) 00:20, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Interstate 95 in North Carolina

i am not sure why you have chosen to edit war on this page. your comment "I can play this all day, Revert back" is not helpful and can be seen in a very negative light. please discuss it on the talk page of the article. i have put a comment there - basically, there is no proof at all that it is called blue star highway. both links you provide show exactly what i am saying, and nothing to what you are saying. if there are good links for it, then please provide it. thank you.

SC primary routes

It appears that South Carolina does have primary routes; take a look at http://www.scstatehouse.gov/code/t57c005.php: the word "primary" is all over the place. Now it might not be the same as just the blue-and-white-shield-signed routes, since U.S. routes are not mentioned, but those state numbered routes are obviously not secondary and they're not Interstates, either, so it has to be that they're primary. True, no one's going to say "Take S.C. primary 73", but no one's going to say "Take trunkline M-46", either, yet Michigan DOT calls the routes in its state system "trunkline". My suggestion is to revert, adding a note on how John Q. Public notes the route designations (e.g. "South Carolina primary routes, usually identified by the public as 'State Highway xx',...."). Mapsax (talk) 13:57, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I think it's going too detailed and though it should be mentioned, I don't think relabeling sections into Primary is necessary when there is no list for Secondary. North Carolina also has a Primary and Secondary system in place, all none bannered roads are considered secondary and also has a coding system on signs that only NCDOT uses; but again, there is no list considering all roads outside town/city control is secondary. It's a good mention, but lets not go overboard please. --WashuOtaku (talk) 20:14, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that two mentions of the word primary is exactly overboard, especially since when there's a "secondary", there's a "primary", based on the definition of "secondary". However, I think that I've come up with a good compromise that I'm about to apply. Mapsax (talk) 11:45, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Works for me. :) --WashuOtaku (talk) 18:06, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
