==Me Ranting Again==
Just a friendly little reminder- PLEASE use edit summaries so that other editors can know exactly what you have done. According to this tool, you have not used an edit summary in the last 150 edits! (If you often forget, you can set Wikipedia to prompt you when you do not enter a summary in My Preferences) Second, you can use the "Show Preview" button to make sure that everything is the way that you want it so that you only have to save once, and so peoples' (my) Watchlists are not filled up with many entries. </rant> Thank you for your productive contributions to WP:VIRGINIA. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 02:57, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
FYI Number two: An article cannot be moved from B to a higher rating unless it undergoes a peer review. You changed Reston, Virginia's rating to an A from a B. I changed it back. It recently failed to be advanced to GA status. Thank you. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 03:25, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
I deeply apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused. However, I would like to point out that I did not believe that things like changing the TF North Virginia userbox required edit summaries. 226Trident (talk) 04:41, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
Don't Sweat it! Just a friendly Reminder. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 21:14, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
== Speedy deletion declined: Ravi Vettivel ==
Hello 226Trident. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Ravi Vettivel, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There is sufficient context to identify the subject of the article. Thank you. ϢereSpielChequers 00:02, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
He doesn't seem to exsist outside of the wikipedia page.226Trident (talk) 00:06, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
Same with Walter D. Pugh. While the article was very short when you tagged it for deletion, it still identified the subject of the article. When I'm considering tagging something under A1, I read the article, then ask "what was the subject of the article?" If I can't sufficiently answer the question, I would then go ahead and tag it. In this case, it would have been "the subject of the article was Walter D. Pugh, who was a prominent architect in Oregon." An article can be less then a sentence long, yet still not fall under A1. Thanks, and keep up the great work, ~SuperHamsterTalkContribs 04:56, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Virginia Hot lanes article
I see that you added the Virginia HOT Lanes article to the Specific to-do list. I might suggest looking at the large section that Chuck 369 and I have added as part of our improvement blitz about them on the Virginia Department of Transportation page. It may be possible to summarize the large blurb of text and move all of the text (w/ refs) to the HOT lanes page, and leave a brief but thorough description at the VDOT page. I would also recommend removing the paragraphs about how HOT lanes work -- as long as it is wikilinked in the article and is worked into the discussion, a short paragraph should suffice. Also, I am moving it per naming conventions to Virginia HOT lanes. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 00:19, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
One more thing: It seems to appear that most road expansion projects are generally added to the respective road. Unfortunately, that may mean that it would be better off being merged back into the 1-495 article (see precedents set by other road projects, for example, there is no Woodrow Wilson Bridge Project, only a description on the Woodrow Wilson Bridge page). I really hate to say this, but it may be better just to merge it back (that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be expanded). --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 00:33, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
