Interstate 74 in North Carolina

So there’s this edit I made on the exit list, but for some reason it’s showing the same note for two exits, but it’s supposed to be for one. It’s supposed to be for exit 228, but it also shows up for exit, 233. And it pushes the note for exit 233 on the side of the screen. Could you please help fix this? If you can’t, you can undo the edit I made on it, thanks. -Xuppu Xuppu (talk) 21:28, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

@Xuppu: Great! Glad u did. ChessEric 00:41, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Interstate 11

Hi there -

For reference, here is a November 2023 video showing I-11 signed on I-15 at US 93/95 in Las Vegas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgdLQBnYimc&t=6818s

I'd appreciate it if you went back and reverted your changes. MojaveNC (talk) 18:31, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

@MojaveNC: I will not. That shield is on one sign on I-15 and YouTube does not count as an official source in this instance. Do not revert it please. ChessEric 19:54, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

You going to change it or should I? MojaveNC (talk) 20:09, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Do not change it. I've already read the Review Journal, which said 2024; the second source doesn't even give a date. Your references do not support your claim that the signage began to be changed in December 2023. Do not change it again; I will revert it. ChessEric 20:18, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Input Needed On Formatting Issues

Hey we really need your input on some issues that have come up regarding the new yearly tornado page formatting, specifically related to tornado events in Europe. The new format looks good at first glance but it is also causing some unintended consequences. We really need ask, "is this fixing more issues than it is creating"? I am beginning to have some doubts if I'm being honest. TornadoInformation12 (talk)

US 23

Hello, my justification for including the I-26 shield in the infobox at U.S. Route 23 in Tennessee was on the grounds that I-26 is the more commonly referred to designation for the majority of the route, but my support for this is only tepid. While it is true that the I-26 designation is not concurrent with the entire route, there are other articles where we include partial length-designations in the infobox like Pellissippi Parkway and APD-40. I actually mentioned this on the talk page, and am open to discussing, the only real concern I have is people looking for this article are more likely to type in "I-26", not "US 23". Bneu2013 (talk) 01:31, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

@Bneu2013: You know what? I commend you for bringing to my attention a rationale that I hadn't even thought of. In this case, the fact that the entire route is referred to as the James H Quillen Parkway justifies having both shields in the infobox and I've changed it to that. The one amendment I did make was to change the header for the parkway from alternate_name to name since the entire length is known as that. Thank you for clarifying your idea, so that we could come up with a solution. ChessEric 19:13, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome. Again, my support for including both shields in the infobox is still tepid, and I intend to ask the reviewer's opinion about this. I hadn't thought of the Quillen Parkway name justifying the inclusion, but this doesn't appear to be the most common name for this route, unlike the examples I mentioned above. Bneu2013 (talk) 03:24, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, SR 137 is a companion state route for US 23, and does not appear to be a commonly referred to designation. All U.S. Highways in Tennessee have a state route routed concurrent with them, which is usually only signed on the mileposts. Since this isn't a primary designation, or a commonly referred to designation, then I don't think it should be listed as one of the primary shields in the infobox. It is already listed below in the component highways parameter. Bneu2013 (talk) 04:06, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

@Bneu2013: I knew that already. I wouldn't have put the shield in the infobox if there wasn't signage for it, but there is...for some reason. Hence, I put it in there. ChessEric 18:18, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Ok, I recommend further discussion about this on the talk page. If a consensus can't be reached, then we should probably default to the US 23 shield only. Bneu2013 (talk) 07:34, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

@Bneu2013: I think the decision was made for us. LOL! ChessEric 17:47, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
