Thank you for the map

Thank you for the map for Interstate 26 (North Carolina)--Ncchild (talk) 13:41, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

No problem. I would work on the other maps listed at w:WP:USRD/MTF/R, but the laptop on which I make maps no longer wants to connect to WIFI. –Fredddie™ 17:51, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

ArchiveBot

Hi, I noticed you have set up User:MiszaBot to archive your talk page. Unfortunately, the bot has stopped working, and given how its operator is inactive, it is unclear when/if this will fixed. For the time being, I have volunteered to operate a MiszaBot clone (running the exact same code). With that said, your input would be appreciated at Commons:Bots/Requests/ArchiveBot 1.

Illinois route maps

Hi! I noticed that you're generating maps of Illinois routes. Some thoughts:

• Some of the side routes on the maps aren't being generated in the maps; for example, File:Illinois 90 map.svg doesn't show IL 91, even though IL 91 is important to IL 90. Is there is any way to generate other state routes as significant regardless of the importance hint in the source data? I don't know about the NHPN data enough to know if it shows all the state highways or just the big ones on your maps. I do remember that Omnedon (talk · contribs) had a similar problems with his maps: see File:Location map of Peoria County, Illinois.svg (which omits IL 90 and shows only a stub of IL 8 in West Peoria) vs. File:Map highlighting West Peoria Township, Peoria County, Illinois.svg (which shows IL 8 and IL 90). He forgot to correct it again when he generated the 2010 Census maps, though, and I don't think he's around anymore.
• Is there any way to generate the town names at the beginning and end, or is it a pain to determine whether an end is inside a boundary?
• I've created Category:Road maps of state highways in Illinois to match some of the other states. Hope this helps. --Closeapple (talk) 06:44, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the input.

• I'm at the mercy of the NHPN data. If you look at my contributions, you'll see I skipped a couple between 89 and 99 because of gaps in the data. Adding some IL route markers is easy to do.
• Similarly, adding the endpoint cities is easy.
• Thanks. I knew there were new road map categories, but I can only remember Road maps of Illinois. –Fredddie™ 16:41, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

User:Highway Route Marker Bot/Requests

Are your requests current? I am looking to do a run with the bot this weekend to make sure things are still in working order and possibly make some minor updates.

Also were you ever able to try the script? After I do my test run this weekend I can post the files I used. --Svgalbertian (talk) 22:53, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Yes, all the requests are current. In addition, could you re-run the Ohio request? Another editor created a more accurate template for Ohio, so we should switch over to that.

I attempted to run the script, but I couldn't get it to work. –Fredddie™ 00:38, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
