Goldfields Highway
[edit]Why are you reverting my edits??
- The spelling is terrible - lenora is Leonora
- The text in the infobox does not make sense.
- The Anne Beadell Highway has nothing to do with the Goldfields Hwy
By looking at the comments others have left here, it seems that you have a habit of doing as you please, without checking your facts. How do I know the infomation is correct?? I live in Kalgoorlie and drive this highway every day!! I will be reverting your edits back to the one's I made. Do not undo again or I will report you! Tazkal (talk) 13:42, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi guys - been watching all this - Rom rulz has been at this stuff before - please note inadequate edit summaries will see his/her reverts reverted by an admin - rather than a normal editor - otherwise it gets into edit warring and possible WP:3RR territory. Please note that reverting without adequate talk page comment or summary as to why a change has been made is simply not on. Please take care with this - thanks SatuSuro 13:47, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
BTW - you never ask another editor to stop editing an article - that makes it obvious you are not very sure of how wikipedia works - SatuSuro 13:50, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- Indeed! It can be seen as ownership of articles (See WP:OWN) Bidgee (talk) 14:38, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Goldfields Highway. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Bidgee (talk) 15:26, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Issue
[edit]- OK You may well have info to hand where you think something works - I am not specifically debating that at this point - in March I asked you to consider edit summaries or more explanations on talk pages - so that someone can follow what you are doing - you seem to enjoy being 'secretive' - there are indeed requirements within general wikipedia practice that specifically request adequate edit summaries - and or notes/communications as to why an edit or summary has been done.
So when it comes to editng or reverting anothers edits - and asking them to stop editing - I consider you are wrong there - regardless of whether you think you are right' - thats not the issue - in the wikipedia community we survive (well most) from being clear and specific as to the information that we are changing or reverting - silent reverts deserve admin or further action - you dont say why in a summary or talk page comment - that is where I take issue.
I can understand that Tazkal has issue with your reverts as he actually experiences the highway. If you have a difference - put the argument on the talk page - clearly from yourside - and then work from there - not by silently reverting. Try it - it might actually help clarify what you are up to and help others understand some of your edits SatuSuro 14:10, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
State Hwy, Major Arterial Road, what on earth is going on?
[edit]Just noticed you've been editing the listing for 'highways' in each state. How are you defining each category? How are Nepean and Bellarine Hwys 'Major Arterial Roads' while Bass Highway is a 'state highway'? ([[1]] It doesn't make any sense. If you have reasons for these categories, where are you doing your research??? --122.107.221.248 (talk) 14:28, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- Infact it's A1 (See Image:Vanderlin Drive Darwin.jpg) and there is no need to have it listed twice! Whats the point on having roads and highways listed twice? Bidgee (talk) 15:15, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- Please don't add misleading messages in the edit summary as you did to List of highways in Northern Territory. Spelling edits is misleading as it wasn't spelling just readding something which is already listed. Bidgee (talk) 07:51, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- Please provide evidence, a reference article, anything to prove that Alphanumeric Route Numbering is occurring in the Northern Territory. Otherwise I assume you are making up non-referential statements, and attempting to degrade the quality of Wikipedia's Australian Roads. Please assume good faith! As I have said see the photo or are you assuming the photo is fake? Getting referential statements from the NT Gov and the MVA is impossible however it's not stopping me from searching. Bidgee (talk) 08:15, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Highway list format
[edit]Ok, I think that a table may be the best way to list these highways.
Route # | Road name |
---|---|
![]() |
Stuart Highway Victoria Highway |
![]() |
Barkly Highway |
![]() |
Stuart Highway |
{| class="wikitable" |- ! Route # ! Road name |- | [[Image:Australian National Route 1.svg|30px]] |'''[[Stuart Highway]]<br>[[Victoria Highway]]''' |- | [[Image:Australian National Route 66.svg|30px]] |'''[[Barkly Highway]]''' |- | [[Image:Australian National Route 87.svg|30px]] |'''[[Stuart Highway]]''' |}
I personally believe it looks alot better, keeping in with WP:MOS. What do you think? --Lakeyboy (talk) 08:49, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- I like it! Looks a lot cleaner. Bidgee (talk) 09:15, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
I realise you (Rom rulz424) like the "collapsable / expandable" format but the use of tables results in a much cleaner, easier to read interface for the reader. Of course, the design of the table can be tweaked. This was just something I whipped up in a few minutes. --Lakeyboy (talk) 09:16, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Highways in New South Wales
[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Highways in New South Wales, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Bidgee (talk) 07:47, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Route 96
[edit]Seems you are correct (Google has updated Google Maps) but some of the road maps released in 2008 still have the old number which is what I was basing it on. Bidgee (talk) 08:58, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Australian Route 96.png
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Image:Australian Route 96.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Australian Route 96.png|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Sdrtirs (talk) 21:01, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
sizing
[edit]Just be aware that there's been some discussions about the size of the route shields (and their usefulness) and the consensus seems to be leaning away from them. This was behind my rationale to make them smaller, more compact and less obstructive in the infobox. You may wish to offer input to recent discussion at WP:AWNB on this matter. Orderinchaos 09:57, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
July 2008
[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Olympic Highway. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Bidgee (talk) 04:35, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
- No you will not - that is called edit warring and is entirely unacceptable. Please take your concerns to the talk page of the articles concerned, or engage with the existing conversation at WP:AWNB. The infobox is not for crowding in information, that's the purpose of the table in the article. Orderinchaos 05:03, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
- The problems were raised on AWNB by numerous editors. Some editors would like to see the shields disappear entirely, others like myself occupy something of a middle ground that they have their place. I don't see any benefit in having route shields in the intersections section of the infobox, it's just clutter really, and I've always disliked it. Infoboxes that are in some cases two screens long (in at least one case, over three times the length of the article) defy the entire purpose of having an infobox, which is meant to be summary information only. Orderinchaos 05:13, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
You semed to have missed a point - when Order is mentioning WP:AWNB - it means that some other eds in fact are quite put out by over use of banners and so on on some road articles - its not just Order - there are other editors who find oversize banners unnecessary and offputting - and if that is the case then readers of wikipedia as well are not getting the information in a standardised manner - so its not just Order SatuSuro 05:23, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
Non-Free images
[edit]You can't use no fair use rationale images without explaining why they qualify under WP:NFCC item #8 on this article (see WP:NFCC item #10c). "The images are used directly from Wikipedia's site of the KFC & Shell. Hence there is no wrong in adding them." which you used in West Gate Freeway edit summary isn't a vaild reason.

April 2009
[edit] Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give M80 Ring Road, Melbourne a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.
I don't know enough about the Melbourne road system to know which name is most commonly used or most correct, but you've made a big mess of redirects, and double redirects. The-Pope (talk) 14:08, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Canberra (and region) roads
[edit]I've just noticed that all of the Highway shields have been removed from the Canberra Roads infrastructure template (among others). Why was this done? There were no errors in them (as far as I could see).
And, while I'm here, I dispute your changes to Kings Highway. This highway does not commence on Canberra Avenue or anywhere else in the ACT. What is your source for your belief that it begins in the ACT? The first use of the 52 shield occurs in Queanbeyan, NSW. The Kings Highway does traverse the ACT through Kowen Forest, but nowhere else. Therefore all the changes you made showing intersections, interchanges etc along Canberra Avenue will need to be removed.
MartinL-585 (talk) 05:55, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
- Firstly, with regard to the removal of the Highway shields in Canberra Roads, if you look at the rest of the templates in all other state/territories, route numbers have been ommitted to ensure that the name of the road is of great importance than the route number, and I am simply conforming to it with Canberra's roads.
- Here are just a few to see what I mean:
Road infrastucture in Regional New South Wales
Road infrastucture in Victoria
- This goes the same for the rest of the country, regarding these templates, and so it only made sense that the Canberra ones were removed also.
- Secondly, with regard to the Kings Highway in Canberra, I'm led to believe according to the OzRoads website that the route does exist to the intersection of the Monaro Highway in Fyshwick, and so therefore I'm inclined to believe that the one highway is intended to meet another, unless it is the absolute point of the end of the road. As for the route 52 marker, according not only to WhereIs or even Google maps, I believe that that too goes up to route 23, where that and the alternate route 23 of the Monaro Highway, which bypasses Canberra is where route 52 terminates.
- You must realise, that there are plenty of highways, particularly in regional New South Wales and Queensland that seriously lack in on-ground-signage (and most likely having not been replaced in decades due to its remoteness), marking the route marker. Some examples include Silver City Highway, Bruxner Highway and Carnarvon Highway. --Rom rulz424 (talk) 06:22, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
(1) At what point was this style decision made and by whom? I don't believe that having highway numbers in any way detracts from the road names, especially in Canberra where there are only National Highway numbers and not state routes.
(2) I have to disagree. "I'm led to believe" is not proof. While I do acknowledge that the 52 symbol is shown on Google Maps and OzRoads, it is not present anywhere on Canberra Avenue (within ACT) nor does it exist on UBD maps. If you look at Google Street view of the Canberra Ave/Monaro Highway intersection, the Highway shields for 23 and ALT23 (for the Monaro Highway) exist; 52 does not. Nor does it exist at Hindmarsh Dr/Canberra Ave. The first known appearance is at the intersection of Canberra Ave/Lanyon Dr in Queanbeyan, NSW. The first reference to "Kings Highway" on any maps also appears at the NSW/ACT border. I have performed numerous web searches and have not been able to find any definitive official reference to exactly where Kings Highway starts. But all of my evidence supports my case that it does not begin until Queanbeyan. Therefore the article either needs to specifically mention this and include the link to route 23 for information purposes only or else remove anything west of the NSW border.

[edit] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Olympic Highway. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Bidgee (talk) 05:12, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Rom, I really love this map - it has heaps of useful information and even looks pretty! :-) However, there are a few spelling mistakes with some place names. For example, Nullabor should be Nullarbor, Lyndthurst should be Lyndhurst and Parrachilna should be Parachilna. As it is a PNG I can't correct that myself... So it would be very nice if you could update the map. Thank you! :-) -- Christallkeks (talk) 14:56, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Rom rulz424,
I have noticed that you have edited a number of Australian road articles. I have recently started up a new project for Australian roads, with the goal of improving Wikipedia's coverage of Australian roads – currently the vast majority of articles are stub or start class. The project pages are located at Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian Roads, if you want to take a moment to look around, and join up if you're interested. Thanks, Evad37 (talk) 01:19, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Junction lists
[edit]I'll get around to the new shields when I can, but Ill just let you know before you create/repair too many junction lists, that they need to be converted to the proper standards. (See MOS:RJL and WP:AURD/RJL).
The standard isnt outrageously rigid, so you'll probably find your own style.
Evad's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwinana_Freeway#Interchanges
Nbound's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowy_Mountains_Highway#Junction_list
or visit or article histories and have a look. We can both answer any questions you might have -- Nbound (talk) 15:15, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
- I can see some benefits of using the updated Junction lists style, however I find that there is too much information for what is needed and a lack of bold text, which makes it harder for the reader to make sense in my view. I will agree though it does take up considerably less space than the current arrangement for the Major Intersections & Towns table. Would this junction list have to apply to motorways also?
- Is there a way we can put a vote to decide as to which of either the Major Intersections & Towns / Exits etc. table and the Junction lists table should be applied to and where?
- I'd like to hear your feedback and opinion on the matter. I'm not sure if you may or may not be aware, however the Major Intersections & Towns / Exits etc. table was introduced I think back in 2007, and was designed for Australian roads, and judging by the minimal edits made until recently it would suggest that it does help the reader.
- As I have said earlier, if you think perhaps some sort of debate or similar could take place, I'd be happy to provide further reasoning into the matter.
- I will not make any further changes or edits as requested by you, until a resolution has been made.
- Rom rulz424 (talk) 16:19, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
- By the way, there are site-wide standards for the use of bold text, per WP:MOSBOLD. --Rschen7754 21:04, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
- MOS:RJL is the required standard, and as Rschen7754 states, there are other requirements upon which it is built, such as WP:MOSBOLD (which is why we are also removing boldtext from infoboxes). Similarly there are WP:ACESS requirements which much be met for non-sighted users using text readers, and so on. Some AURD related discussions are linked from the AURD Library (Wikipedia:AURD/L), but this was mainly a global WP:HWY decision. If you would like to discuss further please do so on the AURD talk page (WT:AURD)

Overlinking
[edit]Hi, thanks for your work. Just a reminder that dates are not normally linked on WP. Tony (talk) 13:57, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
East West Link infobox
[edit]It's worthwhile adding an infobox at East West Link, Melbourne, but there are some problems. It says it's "under construction" which it's not (if the coalition loses its knife-edge majority and the ALP is re-elected, the link may not be started at all). There may be a need to add a "proposed" option to that template. The infobox also refers only to the first stage: the article details the full span of the link. But otherwise, good effort.
