OK 77H is to be truncated

[1] AASHTO approved a reroute of US 77...it will stay on 12th Avenue to Tecumseh Road, turn west, and meet up with the present alignment where Tecumseh intersects Flood Avenue. So OK 77H will be truncated to the Tecumseh Road–12th Avenue intersection. The change is going to take place in April when some work on Tecumseh wraps up. —Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 21:26, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Google Books

If the Google Books text is PD please say so in the link which you are free to reinstate.

If the book is not PD , it shouldn't be linked to per WP:EL.

I'll look over this one.. Thanks for the note.

well the Link to Google Books doesn't appear to actually have the full text... Dead link ? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:51, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The link currently points to the description page. That can be changed to point directly to the PDF of the book, which is here. - Algorerhythms (talk)

File:New York Route 311 map.png

As the creator of File:New York Route 311 map.png, could you list the source where you got the info for it? A comment to that effect was left at NY 311's FAC. Thanks! –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 04:42, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All of the maps I've made for New York roads are based on the NHPN data (the link is on my user page). - Algorerhythms (talk) 05:30, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Interstate 68

On January 25, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Interstate 68, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Thanks!

For making those few state route maps I requested! --Airtuna08 (talk) 19:26, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And can I ask what you use to make them? I'd be interested in buying the software (if it isn't ridiculous, haha) and learning how to make them. --Airtuna08 (talk) 19:31, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can make them with a free program called Quantum GIS. There's a good tutorial for how to use it to make road maps here. - Algorerhythms (talk) 04:37, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good, thanks! --Airtuna08 (talk) 08:21, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maryland Route 5 map

I noticed a modification that needs to be made to the map of Maryland Route 5. The route was rerouted in the Waldorf area to head due north on Mattawoman Beantown Road to US 301 at the Prince George's County border rather than turn west and run north along US 301. This link shows the routing of MD 5 in that area. In addition, the southern terminus of the route needs to be fixed per this link. Dough4872 (talk) 01:49, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've uploaded a new version of the map. - Algorerhythms (talk) 03:40, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BUS M-28 map

File:Michigan 28 Business (Ishpeming) map.png could use some tweaks. It was suggested that the red line should be thicker. There could also be an inset that shows where in the state the larger map is located. One inaccuracy is that the line for M-553 isn't in yellow like the other trunklines are. (it's the long grey N-S line leading south from Marquette. Imzadi1979 (talk) 03:00, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't able to locate the GIS data I have for Michigan (been having a few computer issues with GIS lately), so I edited it in GIMP to reflect those changes. Hopefully that's ok. - Algorerhythms (talk) 23:52, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MTF and SVG's

Hey,

Thought I'd continue our discussion here instead of on the requests page. Yeah, I've tried different fonts, but nothing seemed to work. For fonts, I'm sticking with DejaVu Sans. Did you happen to see the discussion I went through here? Thought it might be useful... Most of my previous Texas maps have gone bad, but some of them haven't (file:Texas 21 map.svg and file:Texas 26 map.svg. I can't figure what the difference was in these vs. the rest. 25or6to4 (talk) 05:55, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, ok. I hadn't seen that discussion, so it makes more sense now what's going on. It looks like the problem is more complicated than I had thought it would be. - Algorerhythms (talk) 06:05, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BUS M-28 ACR

TMF mentioned here that the map needs additional source info. Can you help me out? Imzadi1979 (talk) 20:05, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a note about the TIGER data to the page. - Algorerhythms (talk) 03:38, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Adrian Map

I played with your map in Adobe Illustrator a little bit tonight. M-52 is at WP:DYK, and I wanted to map to help illustrate the concept for the DYK nomination. In looking at my map placed in the article, I think it should be zoomed in even more, quite possibly with street names added. I did have to make one substantive change. BUS US 223 is split on one-way streets west of the M-52 concurrency, giving the whole arrangement the look of a church or old-fashioned school house on it's end. I drew some dark yellow lines on the map and moved some shields around, adding directional plates. The only reason I jumped the gun is that DYK has a 5-day time period to nominate articles, and I wanted to get the nomination in before that time-frame closed. I didn't think the nomination would be good without a map to illustrate this weird arrangement though. Thanks for helping with this project. Imzadi1979 (talk) 12:32, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How's this? - Algorerhythms (talk) 23:22, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Getting there, but the business loop splits onto one-way streets west of downtown. NB follows Maumee Street, SB splits off to Church Street, which isn't dark yellow. There should be a few BUS US 223 shield assemblies added to the big loop, with directional plates for NB and SB. Imzadi1979 (talk) 02:30, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of List of Interstate and U.S. highways in Maryland

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of Interstate and U.S. highways in Maryland.

Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 17:34, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
