I noticed that you have done work on Kentucky road articles lately. I would like to share a few tips on how the articles should look. For the "Route description" header, the "d" in description should be lowercase. Also, if a route is only in one county a county column isn't needed in the junction list. Instead, "county=" should be added to {{jcttop}} (see Kentucky Route 714 for an example of where i fixed this). Also, it may help to source the mileage in the major intersections table using the KYTC route log, "length_ref=" can be used in the jcttop template to do this. Also, the mileage in the junction lists should not reset at county lines. While the KYTC may do this in their route logs, Wikipedia articles add up the mileage across counties. Keep up the work on improving articles! Dough4872 18:44, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tips! Blue1424 (talk) 18:49, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A few more tips:

• Measurements using the US customary system should have conversions added. You can use {{convert}} for that. To say something is a 9.033-mile-long state highway with the appropriate conversion, insert {{convert|9.033|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} . The template has plnety of options, and there is also {{convert/spell}} to produce two miles (3.2 km) for whole-number measurements under 10 that should be rendered in words, not numerals.
• "The route is located in Spencer County and Shelby County." should really be worded as "The route is located in Spencer and Shelby counties." (note the lowercase on the word "counties".)
• If the mileages in the table have three decimal places, then "0.000" is more appropriate than "0.00"
• If the junction list doesn't use the colored backgrounds, use {{jctbtm}} instead of {{legendRJL}}. The color key generated by the latter template isn't needed if there are no colors.
• I wouldn't use "Kentucky Transportation Cabinet - Division of Planning - Highway Information System Official Milepoint Route Log Extract" as the title of the webpage. I would use |publisher=Kentucky Transportation Cabinet |author=Division of Planning |work=Highway Information System |title=Official Milepoint Route Log Extract. That way the publisher, the specific office that authored the document, and the series from which the document originates are all clearly marked.

I hope these tips help. Imzadi 1979 → 06:29, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Blue1424,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether 2010 KHSAA Commonwealth Gridiron 4A Championship should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2010 KHSAA Commonwealth Gridiron 4A Championship .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of middle schools in Kentucky is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of middle schools in Kentucky until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Hog Farm (talk) 20:27, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
