I reverted your changes at U.S. Space & Rocket Center because the coordinates were messed up, and because the museum was established in 1965, with financing via a statewide bond referendum in November of that year. It opened March 15, 1970. Your contribution about IMAX made some sense, and I thank you for drawing it to my attention. I'll take a crack at making that part more complete, especially since the IMAX theater has since been replaced by a planetarium. -- ke4roh (talk) 16:37, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Ke4roh: - the coordinates issue was a typo; edits were made with my mobile phone. Do you have a citation for the March 15 opening date? This exact date is not listed in the article; only the year. Bneu2013 (talk) 04:13, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for including that info. ke4roh (talk) 23:40, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
- You are welcome. Bneu2013 (talk) 23:42, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

- @Diannaa: my further change was not acceptable? I don't know how much different it should be than the source. I currently have it in my sandbox, and would like for someone more experienced than me to take a look at my changes once I have them complete, and tell me if they are acceptable. Are the quotes in quotations not acceptable? Bneu2013 (talk) 23:29, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
- Any content you add to Wikipedia needs to be completely different from the source, re-written in your own words. That includes material in sandboxes and drafts. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:41, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Diannaa: - I'm currently rewriting it right now. Are the quotations not acceptable? Bneu2013 (talk) 23:47, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
- Don't use quotations unless you absolutely have to. Please use the copyvio detector: see here. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:50, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

@Diannaa: - I've modified it now to where the vast majority of the similarities are the quotations. I did remove one quotation, but I still feel like the ones I've left work to better illustrate the subject matter. It's still saying that there is a 40.8% chance of a violation, however Bneu2013 (talk) 00:35, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
File copyright problem with File:Olgiati widening side.jpg

You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Rockvale High School
The article Rockvale High School has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
general notability; no significant coverage
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Ericwg (talk) 22:44, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Kingston Fossil Plant coal fly ash slurry spill
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Kingston Fossil Plant coal fly ash slurry spill you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Femkemilene -- Femkemilene (talk) 14:20, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
- I've done a broad review of the article. I think it needs quite a bit of updating, condensing and restructuring. I think it is not yet useful for me to go into details before these big points are addressed. I found it quite an interesting read and I hope we can improve this article quite a bit :).

Copyright problem on Kingston Fossil Plant coal fly ash slurry spill
Content you added to the above article appears to have been copied from https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=TVA_Kingston_Fossil_Plant_coal_ash_spill, which is not released under a compatible license. Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International is not a compatible license. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:39, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
- Diannaa - I'll try to be as civil as I can here, but this is getting old. While I did use a citation from sourcewatch.com, I significantly modified the text to my own words; I didn't simply copy and paste and switch a word or two. I don't know how this bot operates, but I can confirm that I modified the text beyond a copyright violation. Bneu2013 (talk) 17:08, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
- Your addition was flagged by a bot as a potential copyright issue and was assessed by myself. Here is a link to the bot report. Click on the iThenticate link to view the overlap, which in my opinion is indeed a violation of our copyright policy, so I removed the material. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:52, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Blocked
I have blocked you for 1 week because CheckUser indicates you have violated our policy on abuse of multiple accounts. You may appeal this block by following the instructions at WP:GAB. Note that future violations of the socking policy will likely lead to an indefinite block. TonyBallioni (talk) 05:10, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
Bneu2013 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Blocking administrator has not given a reason why he believes that I have used multiple accounts via checkuser. If it is because I have had previous accounts in the past, this is not the same situation. All of these accounts I lost the passwords to, and have not used in years. An SPI case does not appear to have been opened about me, either. However, I will confess that I do sometimes edit from my place of employment, and there is a person there (whose identity I will not reveal) who sometimes edits Wikipedia himself via the server (no account that I know of) who has vandalized Wikipedia articles before, and I have reverted. He always seems to do it when I am around, presumably to get my attention. I have asked him to stop, yet he refuses. I also often edit via my mobile phone, of whom I share a server with family members. While I do admit that I have edited via shared IP servers that others use to edit Wikipedia, I never have used any other accounts, and have no idea why this blocking administrator believes so, unless it is the situation mentioned above. Regardless of what you all decide, I am agreeing to not create and use any other accounts, and will also no longer edit from the shared server at my place of employment. I will work to the best of my abilities to continue to follow Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and avoid shared IP servers. Bneu2013 (talk) 08:01, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Let me just reiterate that any more logged-out vandalism or other disruption related to WP:SOCK will result in an indefinite block. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 10:21, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- NinjaRobotPirate - Why does Checkuser believe that I have been socking? He has not indicated that. Bneu2013 (talk) 19:12, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
- We aren’t allowed to publicly connect IPs to accounts. If someone is logged out socking and CU indicates it, however, we do block. You have edited logged out in a way that is explicitly forbidden by policy. You got caught, and I blocked you for a week. It’s that simple. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:20, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
- TonyBallioni I will admit that I have unintentionally edited as an IP before when accidentally logged out, and am working to make sure that never happens again. Is that what you are saying is forbidden? I also have, as mentioned above, edited from shared IP accounts where others edit from, and feel I may have been caught up in a situation there. If someone suspected that I was socking, why did they not open a SPI? After all, I feel that I may have been caught up in something beyond my control. Is this a block that would be impossible to appeal? Bneu2013 (talk) 19:30, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
- No, you did not unintentionally edit logged out. You did so intentionally and deceptively. CheckUsers are not required to file SPIs to block, and if it involves logged out editing, we generally won’t because the privacy policy does not allow us to publicly connect IPs and accounts. Any other CU, such as NRP is able to review my actions and come to their own conclusions on this block. I am more than happy to share my conclusions with any CheckUser who asks, and have already preemptively shared them with NinjaRobotPirate via email. You are free to appeal again, and I’ll gladly discuss this with any CU who may be reviewing. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:39, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
- TonyBallioni I am searching for diffs for edits I made accidentally logged out. This is the first one I found. This was simply a mistake, and not intended to be deceptive. I will also point out that that is a static IP, and there are many others very similar to it used by other people. Was my mistake there a violation of any policies? Is it also possible for CU to prove I made the edit? Regardless of the situation, I am agreeing not to sock. I will not log out and make edits, and will continue to work to improve the encyclopedia. I am also in the process of looking for other diffs like the one above. Bneu2013 (talk) 19:55, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
- As you intend to keep lying, I will not be further responding to you. Any CU can email me for more information should you post a new unblock request. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:08, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

The administrators have failed to inform me of my situation and answer the questions related to my block that I am uncertain about. It also appears that an agreement to not sock in the future will not be an adequate reason to unblock. Bneu2013 (talk) 02:17, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
User page redirects
Hello, Bneu2013,
I just wanted to tell you that since your user page was deleted, any redirects from previous accounts of yours turned into broken redirects and have been deleted. But the old accounts' talk pages still redirect to this one so you can always locate your old accounts by clicking on the "What links here" link on this page, in the left-hand side menu. Given this recent block, you might not have any interest in your old accounts but I thought I'd let you know in case you ever want to look back and see your old contributions. Thanks! Liz Read! Talk! 00:45, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks. I totally forgot about that. My user page should be back up soon, and I'll redirect the old account user pages back. I don't have any interest in my old accounts, but I think it's best to let users know that I have had other accounts in the past as it has become evident that some consider that sockpuppetry. Bneu2013 (talk) 02:28, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
- That was not why you were blocked. You were blocked for abusively editing logged out as confirmed by two CheckUsers. Please stop saying that you were blocked because of your old accounts. You weren't. You were blocked for intentionally and knowingly violating policy, and there is little to no doubt of that. The only reason I am commenting on this now is that even after the block expired you insist on not telling the truth, which means it is likely in my mind the issues will repeat themselves, so I will repeat my warning: if you violate WP:SOCK again in any capacity, the next block will be indefinite. You have nothing to worry about, so long as you follow the policy. Having declared previous accounts is not a violation of the policy, and was not why you were blocked. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:50, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
- TonyBallioni - That's not what I was saying. I was referring to the fact that other users have claimed that my previous accounts were used to sock. I have received this accusation on multiple occasions. I understand that I improperly edited anonymously in the past and screwed up there, so I got what I deserved. I plan to include a section about this on my future userpage, which I am currently drafting. My future user page will be controversial, but I am not referring to all users. I did something stupid, and have learned from my mistakes, and won't do it again. I'll also take even more precaution in the future to ensure that I don't accidentally edit while logged out. I'm not disputing the fact that I was blocked for improperly editing while logged out, yet i don't know exactly what specific event led you to conclude that I was doing so. I realize that you are not allowed to reveal that information to me. Also, this seems a bit like it was intended to harass me, and something that probably shouldn't have been said. Bneu2013 (talk) 03:18, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for agreeing to follow the policy in the future :) It is appreciated. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:23, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

Bruce Mansfield
Hello. Could you give me an explanation of your edit to Bruce Mansfield? I'm rather confused as the plant was originally scheduled to be shut down in June 2021, but now, the shut down is expected to be in November 2019. FunksBrother (talk) 01:26, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
- FunksBrother - When I said "moved back," I meant the closure date had been moved back in time (earlier) than the original date. I realize now that you must have interpreted the change as meaning the plant was originally scheduled to close in 2019, then moved to 2021, then back to 2019, and I apologize for the misunderstanding. Bneu2013 (talk) 04:06, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
- Bneu2013 Ahh. Thank you for clarifying. I wanted to make sure and we're now on the same page. I didn't want to revert and violate WP:OWNERSHIP. FunksBrother (talk) 04:16, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

WALI
Hey, I'm writing just to note that I'm making some changes to the articles around WALI (currently WALI and WRHA (AM)) to bring them back in line with guidelines.
The WALI call sign belongs to the 1280 AM facility in Dayton, even if the station is promoting itself as a Cleveland station now because of the translator; in general, we maintain one article per station license. As such, I've opened a requested move at Talk:WRHA (AM) that would have as its goal placing the correct article in its position. Relevant content from the current WALI page, like the station logo, has been moved there.
You're invited to participate in the requested move discussion. Raymie (t • c) 05:08, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Newspapers.com
Do you have a subscription? If so, you should be able to make clippings of the newspaper articles you're citing. Take https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/112055511/ for instance.
- Load the full page with the desired source article.
- There's a toolbar at the top of the page that contains an icon that looks like a pair of scissors. Click that. That will bring up a selection box and and a dialog box.
- Expand the selection to encompass the full article.
- Type a description of the article; I use the article's headline.
- Click the "Clip" button.
- A new box appears with "Article has been clipped!". Click the "Embed" button, bringing up two presentations of the URL for the clipping. Click the "Copy" button for the lower presentation of the bare URL. This will copy the URL to the clipboard, https://www.newspapers.com/clip/51197267/east-west-interstate-finish-set-here-by/ .
- Paste this URL into the citation on Wikipedia and save the edit.
- Don't forget to include the page number and
|via=Newspapers.com
so that readers have the full citation and know where you obtained your copy. I try to make sure I use the page number as presented on the original page itself; sometimes Newspapers.com numbers them consecutively for the entire issue irrespective of section numbering or lettering.
If an article is continued to a second page, I make a clipping of both sections of the article. I put the URL of the clipping for the start of the article in |url=
and then link the second page number with the clipping for the continuation, like in Special routes of U.S. Route 31#cite note-6. That way readers can see the entirety of the source article. Imzadi 1979 → 00:35, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Imzadi1979 - I do have a subscription, however, I hadn't thought of the need to make clippings of citations. I'll admit that I am also kind of new to Newspapers.com. But thanks for letting me know. Bneu2013 (talk) 00:40, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Clippings are visible to non-subscribers, but the full pages are not. It just helps our readers to access our sources. Imzadi 1979 → 00:44, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Imzadi1979 - I'll do that in the future, and work on clipping sources that I have already used. Bneu2013 (talk) 00:45, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Rick tyler.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Rick tyler.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 01:15, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- Whpq the file came from the Southern Poverty Law Center's website, who claim it came from his Facebook page. That seems to indicate that it is free, as I strongly doubt he would consent to letting them use it. It is also used by multiple media outlets. I must admit I am not the most experienced when it comes to uploading files like this. Bneu2013 (talk) 00:04, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
- Being publicly available is not the same thing as being licensed as CC-0. Most everything published is copyrighted by default. Unless there is an explicit statement of a free license, then it isn't under a free license. -- Whpq (talk) 00:10, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
- I'll look into the issue. Bneu2013 (talk) 00:20, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Just wanted to say thanks for the help on a recent edit I made. I've been on Wiki for quite a while and have made many edits. But I still don't know much about how to do more than that. I looked over your page and have to say it made me feel a little better to learn that even someone like you has had to deal with jerk editors. Not going to mention any names, but I've run into some doozies. Thanks for the way you edit on here. People like YOU make this a better place.

Replaceable fair use File:Rick tyler.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Rick tyler.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 11:04, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

East Tennessee Crossing Byway
Hello,
I am in the works of creating an article regarding one of the newest National Scenic Byways in the NBS system, the East Tennessee Crossing Byway. The byway is on an unsigned concurrency along US-25E/TN-32 and on US-25 from Newport to the North Carolina state line. I have started a draft of the article on my sandbox, and I was curious if you could assist me in the Major Intersections section and possibly create a map of the byway in order to make the article look more professional and appealing. I also have added a file of the shield/logo of the byway on Commons, and I'm unsure by how to add it to the article.
Thanks in advance, --AppalachianCentrist (talk) 01:23, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
- AppalachianCentrist - Yes, I can help, even though I must admit that the "major intersections" sections are probably the area within road articles where I have the least experience. But I can still work on that, and I think I've got the right software to create a map. For the shield, I'm not sure at the moment how to get it to automatically appear in the infobox, or if it won't automatically appear under its current state. I'll look into this one too. However, you might have to resort to manually inserting it under the "marker image" parameter. Examples of where this is done include Pellissippi Parkway and APD-40. I'll have to do a little research on this one, but I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Bneu2013 (talk) 02:10, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Bkissin (talk) 14:24, 7 October 2021 (UTC)At Rutherford County, Tennessee, you added:
- This area of the state was predominately Democratic following the American Civil War, but the significant minority of African Americans joined the Republican Party. The white-dominated state legislature in the 1880s passed four laws that effectively disenfranchised most blacks and many poor whites, particularly due to the requirement of payment of a poll tax in order to register to vote. This reduced the competitiveness of the Republican Party in the state for more than six decades, and thus it effectively held political power only in eastern Tennessee.
- Since the late 20th century, the majority of white conservatives in Rutherford County shifted toward the Republican Party. After gaining enforcement of their voting rights under the Voting Rights Act of 1965, most local African Americans favored the Democratic Party.
You added this source to support your edit. Could please tell me specifically where in that source you found this information, per WP:CITEWEB? Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:16, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Magnolia677: - I apologize for the delay in my reply, as I have not been very active the last few days. Most of the information on the historical voting patterns of this county can be found by manipulating the dropdowns on the source. I also added an additional source to support some of the information. However, I will add that the trends of specific voter demographics described in this article is well documented and cited on many other articles. Bneu2013 (talk) 00:15, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Attribution at Draft:Interstate 24 in Tennessee
I provided retroactive attribution in this diff for the content you copied from Interstate 24.

Just be sure to note it in the edit summary (with a wikilink to the original page) for future copying. Thanks! DanCherek (talk) 05:44, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- Not to mention, there was consensus to keep I-24 merged into one article until such time that a decent state-detail article could be created. Splitting off the Tennessee section would decimate the I-24 article. –Fredddie™ 23:33, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- I'd say that this is akin to the U.S. Route 8 situation. So much of the length of I-24 is in Tennessee compared to Illinois and Kentucky. (The Georgia length is negligible. I know that because I drove the length from Chattanooga northwesterly all the way to I-57 in early January.) Just as most of US 8 is in Wisconsin by an order of magnitude, so much of I-24 is in Tennessee that I just don't think it's necessary to split the article. There'd be so much overlap between a proper I-24 in TN article and the parent I-24 article, that I don't see the point in the duplication of content. Imzadi 1979 → 23:57, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- The section about the stretch in Tennessee has expanded by at least fivefold since the merger (pretty sure the only information at the time was about the Monteagle stretch). I also plan to add even more missing information soon. I won't be done for at least another week, however. As such, if I do go through with this split, I would greatly condense the Tennessee section in the route description, as well as the history section. Bneu2013 (talk) 02:28, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

1982 World's Fair article expansion
Hello Bneu2013,
I have been noticing your superb work on the expansion of the Tennessee-related articles up to good article standards. For this, I ask of an inquiry. Is it possible if you could assist me in the expansion and advancement of the 1982 World's Fair article? The fair's article has been expanded recently by me, and I would like to see it expanded with the coming 40th anniversary of the fair's opening on May 1st of 1982. I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me with this article's expansion given the topic's importance to the state and East Tennessee region.

- If you think that the Georgia and Chattanooga segments should have separate subheaders, please discuss this on the talk page. I don't think that the Tennessee segment needs to be split into eastern and western segments; this isn't the same situation as US 72. Also, the segment of I-24 in Marion and Hamilton counties is in East Tennessee, and pretty much all of I-24 east of Nashville (excluding Georgia) is in eastern Tennessee.

2021–2022 inflation surge
Hi there. As the creator of the article 2021–2022 inflation surge I wanted to give you a heads up on this. I have tagged the article with the "Globalize" tag as it does not represent a worldwide view of the subject. I have two suggestions as possible remedies: move this page to 2021-2022 United States inflation surge or expand this to include other country's issues with inflation. On a personal note, I'm a Canadian experiencing similar effects of inflation on my own economy, so I just found this article to either be mislabeled, or too US-centric. CaffeinAddict (talk) 04:49, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
- The article is still a stub, and needs to be expanded to include the worldwide effects of this event. I'm surprised it hasn't received as much attention as it has. Bneu2013 (talk) 19:54, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Inflation adjustments
I've noticed that you're using the US
index for inflation adjustments of capital expenditures. That index is the Consumer Price Index, which is good for consumer prices, or things like wages, tolls and smaller expenditures. Once you get a few orders of magnitude higher in cost, the economists say we shouldn't use that index. The index you should use for these large highway projects is US-GDP
, which is based on a GDP deflator.
Another thing is that you're using {{CURRENTYEAR}}
, but we should never use that as the inflation indices do not necessarily run to the current year. For the US indices, they can lag by about 18 months. Also, using that special word would flip the articles to indicate 2023 in just about a day and a half, and yet we won't have any updates for 2023 for quite a while. Instead, three is the {{inflation-year}} template that specifies to which year the price is being adjusted.
Lastly, {{formatprice}} works better than {{formatnum}}, and you can input the full original cost without using the million
trick.
To see this in action, take a look at this edit Imzadi 1979 → 14:04, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
