Per chance, have you driven US 33 southeast of Columbus? I've driven the new segment south of Athens to the West Virginia state line, but not northward. BTW, they are reconstructing the diamond interchange at OH 7 and US 33 in Pomeroy to I believe a semi-directional interchange. US 33 now turns a 90-degree eastward at that point, so I believe they are installing flyover ramps. Otherwise, I would have no idea what all the reconstruction is about.

Yes, I've been down that way a few times recently, to varying distances, as far as Nelsonville on one occasion, to ride that scenic railorad. I've got a few pics, especially of the Lancaster bypass and the Southeast Expressway. And regarding the Ravenswood Connector, I'd heard something a while ago somewhere that they were improving that US-33 / OH-7 interchange, but I haven't made it that far southeast in quite some time.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Birdin Symbol.png)edit
Latest comment: 16 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Thanks for uploading Image:Birdin Symbol.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 20:14, 11 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Dear roads editor,
You may have noticed some changes at WP:USRD lately. Some of them, like the cleanup templates and the stub templates, have been astounding and great. Unfortunately, others have been disturbing.
This has become evidenced by the departure of a few prominent editors at USRD, a few RFC's, and much fighting among USRD editors.
After the second RFC, many of us found the opportunity to take a step away from Wikipedia for a while--as a self-imposed wikibreak, or possibly on vacation.
The result of such introspection was that many of us were placing ourselves in a "walled garden" and on a self-imposed pedestal of authority over the roads department. Also, we were being hostile to a few users who were not agreeing with us.
In fact, IRC has been the main incarnation of this "walled garden." Decisions have been made there to conduct grudges and prejudices against a few valued USRD users with poor justification.
For this, we have come to apologize. We have come to ask your forgiveness.
In addition to this, we hope to work as one USRD team from now on and to encourage cooperation instead of the promotion of interests.
All users are welcome to collaborate on IRC, the newsletter, or anywhere else at USRD.
In the future, please feel free to approach us about any issues you may have.

There are important discussions taking place at WT:USRD relating to whether WP:USRD, WP:HWY, or the state projects should hold the "power" in the roads projects.

Good day, I was wondering how you created the map . I would like to make a map of historical streetcar routes in Columbus and I like the way yours is formatted. Thanks.--Analogue Kid (talk) 20:52, 3 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
It was drawn using vector (pen) tools in Paint Shop Pro. Data-wise, it was traced (loosely) over a map copied from MS Streets & Trips in which I'd highlighted the numbered streets and avenues. I'm not sure how much of a copyright issue that is, actually. Tracing over pretty much any other source would result essentially the same drawing, and the errors introduced in the tracing step far outweigh any differences between Microsoft's data and other providers.

Hi, you are listed under Category:Wikipedians in Ohio or one of its subcategories. WikiProject Ohio has been slowing down and we're looking for active Ohioans to turn that around! But first, let us introduce ourselves; we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Ohio and we're sure there's somewhere you'll fit in just fine. The project's departments include article quality assessment: We have over 5,000 articles to assess for class alone, newsletter writing: This has been delayed by a few months, and new page patrolling: Which has also been slowing down. We also have a newly formed taskforce on our over 1,000 townships at WP:OHTWP.
We have 132 members, many of which are not active within the project. If you are listed there and still received this message please accept the auotmated porcess's apologies. If you are interested in joining us please list you name here. If you're not interested please note this is a one time invite and you will never hear from us again.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to leave a message at our talkpage or with any member of the project, we'll be happy to answer any of your questions. We look forward to seeing you around!

Hi there, I was wondering what program you made Image:Columbus Overview Map-150dpi.png with? If you still have the original, if you used a program like PS, a vector version would be great. Thanks for your time. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 23:14, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
That was made in Paint Shop Pro 8. I do still have the original .pspImage file containing vector drawing layers, and can easily reproduce it at higher resolutions, but I don't think PSP will export to SVG format. (It can barely import SVG, and only as a flat rasterized image.) Maybe I'll re-do it when I become more familiar with Inkscape.

Cool. I'm not too familiar with PSP, will it export to EPS? §hep • ¡Talk to me! 20:31, 1 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preferenceedit
Latest comment: 13 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.
For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:14, 14 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
