Part 3: Implementing the convention

A. Official policy

The official policy draft is located at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (U.S. state highways). Feel free to edit the proposal.

Voting takes place here and there:

The following discussion is an archived debate of the vote. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the vote was support. --TMF T - C 13:56, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vote

Remember that the 100 edit rule applies. Also, the no comments with the votes still applies. Any comments left will be forcibly removed by a judging administrator. Please vote using three tildes (~~~), not four.

Um? can we allow comments somewhere else??? I'm certainly interested in them. especially the opposes, I want to hear what they propose instead (that fits within the framework of where we are so far, no repudiating the whole thing, that's just not useful) ++Lar: t/c 20:34, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably, that would go under "Discussion". However, if you find freakofnurture's inline comments ("Oppose in the name of all that's fucking holy.") to be "interesting"... =) Powers T 15:06, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
... Ya, I saw it... what I am interested in is what alternative is on the table that he supports, which is why I think a comment area somewhere makes sense. That vote, as it stands, counts for zero (or less) in my book, as it's neither useful nor collegial. Hopefully he'll choose to share some positive thinking on what he'd rather see, directly below. ++Lar: t/c 17:44, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion

Is the implementation perfect? No. But I urge you (as a fellow editor, not as the creator of the poll) to support this for the sake of consensus and to get this issue over with and to move on. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 01:59, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Those footnotes are ugly. Is there really any question over whether someone will be willing/able to make the page moves required? Powers T 15:43, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I like how we went from "move them only if there's consensus at the state level" to "move them, screw the state level". --SPUI (T - C) 18:34, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I am willing to move the pages. Correction: I will be willing to move the pages when I find the time. Probably won't get to it for a few months. And the admins made that call. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 23:19, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't get it. We are voting on whether we support the policy above, but it can still be edited? I am not voting on something that may change. What I support now could change and I could oppose it later on. I will refrain from voting until the policy page is finalized and protected to prevent editing during the voting. --Holderca1 16:57, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Everything that has been decided by Poll 1 and Poll 2 is pretty much set, which is the table of states and their respective methods of titling and referencing...It is going to correspond to whatever was decided before so that's not getting edited. Everything else is just style guidelines that everyone has pretty much agreed upon, or what we've always been doing. The big thing is the article titles, if there's a controversial edit to anything else, I'm sure it'd get reverted and discussed first. However, it might not be a bad idea to stop editing tonight (9/25) at midnight that way everyone can be sure they approve what's been written by the 9/26 23:59 UTC deadline. Stratosphere (U T) 23:16, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I thought about that but I didn't get around to implementing that. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 02:03, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is this over with, or are we leaving it open a little longer? Stratosphere (U T) 14:12, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

B. Page moves

Page moves take place only after the policy has passed. (You can sign up though).

First of all, the following need to be notified:

Secondly, sign up for moves. Strike out ones that you have completed. Fix double redirects, but do not "fix" any other links to the old name. It would be helpful to create the redirects ASAP too.

ALL NON-ADMIN USERS MUST BE SIGNED UP BY THE TIME WE NOTIFY CURPS (see above for time). This is so you do not get blocked by Curps. Admins are automatically whitelisted.

How to mass move pages: 1) Move the page, showing WP:SRNC for justification 2) Check for double redirects 3) Check all possible sources for articles- that would be lists, categories, stub categories, WikiProject templates 4) Create redirects with a completion list (if time allows)

Alabama

All need to be moved to Alabama State Route x.

I'll help with these. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 03:10, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alaska

All need to be moved to Alaska State Route x.

I can handle this. There can't be too many articles about these yet. --TMF T - C 23:47, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Done. No articles existed at just the route number - they were all redirects to named highways. --TMF T - C 17:53, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Arizona

All need to be moved to Arizona State Route x.

Arkansas

All need to be moved to Arkansas Highway x.

I will take this one. Please notify me when the time comes. Peter O. (Talk) 23:02, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

California

Half of the articles need to be moved from State Route X (California) to California State Route X.

I can do this unless someone else wants to. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 00:01, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I also volunteer for this job. However, I need a bit of coaching and an admin to delete the necessary redirects. --physicq210 00:46, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I get the feeling that I'll be stuck with the states with no volunteers, so I welcome the help. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 00:52, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'll help with whatever doesn't need sysop powers. -- NORTH talk 07:21, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Umm, I just did a few without realising I was supposed to sign up. Oops. Will stop now. Heimstern Läufer 18:14, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll start CA first, then continue to WA. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 00:39, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know it's a bit belated, but I may not have time to do CA, as Nevada is so tedious and time-consuming with the redirects and numerous "highways." I can do what I can do, though. --physicq210 03:00, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's okay, I discovered how tedious it is to do those redirs today too. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 03:02, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Colorado

Some need to be moved to Colorado State Highway x.

I can take care of any that need moving. --TMF T - C 23:48, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
All articles moved. --TMF T - C 18:13, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Connecticut

No moves needed now, but in the future, these moves may occur.

Will do these now, just for the sake of getting them done. -- NORTH talk 23:59, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delaware

All move to Delaware Route x.

I volunteer. Already have experience with mass moves (moved Maryland). Also the U.S. roads project doesn't seem to have much representation from DE, so if I don't take care of this I'm not sure who will.-Jeff (talk) 03:59, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oh yeah, I'll probably be calling on some admin assistance if there are any redirects that need to be deleted before the moves.-Jeff (talk) 04:04, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
All are now done except for Delaware Route 2, which needs to be moved over a redirect with multiple history entries, have submitted a requested move. -Jeff (talk) 16:54, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Florida

No moves needed now, but in the future, these moves may occur.

Will do these now, just for the sake of getting them done. -- NORTH talk 23:59, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Georgia

Some move to Georgia State Route x.

I'd be happy to handle this task. –Pedriana (talk) 15:17, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hawaii

All move to Hawaii Route x.

I can handle this one too. --TMF T - C 04:53, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
All articles moved. --TMF T - C 18:27, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indiana

1-2 articles to Indiana State Road x.

This'll be an easy task. I'll take it. --TMF T - C 23:49, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
All moved except State Road 933 (Indiana), which cannot be moved due to Indiana State Road 933 being a non-empty redirect. Will add SR 933 to WP:RM. --TMF T - C 18:35, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Requested move has been carried out, so these are now done. --TMF T - C 02:17, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Iowa

All to Iowa Highway x.

I can take this on - no redirects exist as of yet. --• master_sonLets talk 14:25, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kentucky

All to Kentucky Route x.

I'll move the articles as I update the content of a page and add in the new infoboxes. I wish I had realised the change was occuring so sudden, because I added many new pages with the Kentucky State Highway x format just recently... Seicer (talk) (contribs) 04:45, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maine

All to Maine State Route x.

I'll move the whopping 3 articles. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 01:44, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nevada

All to Nevada State Route x.

I'll take this, but I'll need an admin to delete any necessary redirects. --physicq210 04:52, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I can delete the redirects for you. Vegaswikian 05:41, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Done most of them except for State Routes 52, 54, 55, 397, 400, 401, 601, and 756, which require redirect pages deleted. Still need to fix redirects though. --physicq210 01:10, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Done with moves, now preparing to wade through and fix the tedious amount of redirects. --physicq210 02:25, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New Jersey

No moves needed now, but in the future, these moves may occur.

Even though it may anger some people, I will move these now, given that it's going to happen eventually anyway, and I'm willing to do the work. -- NORTH talk 07:24, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can handle the (few) articles here. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 03:11, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think people from WP:NCSH were going to assist? --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 03:16, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Will do these now, just for the sake of getting them done. -- NORTH talk 23:59, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since there will probably be admin privileges needed to do these since the mass moves orphaned the talk pages, I'll sign up unless someone else wants this. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:21, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
