== Why was my update of an external link removed? ==
== Advice on Iraq highway articles ==
Hello I have been trying to find sources to improve the quality of the articles on each of the ]. The reality is that most of the news articles about these roads are just offhand mentions of the roads in descriptions of US military operations, and I can't really find any other sources on these roads covering really any other topics. Most of the articles are 1 sentence and have no sources. Is there a reason to keep these articles? Are they notable? Is it appropriate to just leave them like this until someday someone writes about these articles? I sort of lean towards merging them into 1 article that lists the highways and their routes and then if there is ever more information then maybe having individual articles is warranted. Thanks for any input. ] (]) 22:28, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

:Hello ], I hope this finds you well, and sorry for the delay in reponse. Just looking at some of the articles for Iraqi highways, my advice would be to make a page like the one at ], and basically on a table, just include the road name, where it runs from and to, the length of the road (if you can't find this anywhere then maybe use the 'measure distance' tool on Google Maps) and a notes section (where you can just put all of the information that you can find about the roads). But if you need any help or want some clarity on something etc., then just give me a shout either here or on my talk page. Regards, ] (]) 08:45, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

⚫ == Non-motorway services ==
I am seeking feedback on the possibility of renaming most Greek motorway articles to follow the format "A8 motorway (Greece)" instead of "]".

The reason for the proposed rename is to match the naming scheme of other motorways that use the A# format, such as ] and ]: in addition, new and updated motorway signs in Greece use the A# format (source: ). --] <small>(])</small> 07:58, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

:Hi ], I hope this finds you well and sorry for the late response. After looking through some of the articles about Greek motorways, I would personally give this rename the go ahead.

Why was my update of an external link removed?

In August of this year, I updated the link to the Roadgeeks font website from http://www.triskele.com/roadgeek-fonts to https://www.n1en.org/roadgeek-fonts/ since the former is now unaviailable. My edit was reverted by @Frost 5 days later. I am quite puzzled by this and would like to know the reason. 116.220.127.216 (talk) 08:30, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

As the website is 100% clear that the fonts are for hobbyist use, not for commercial use, and will not be released open source, then they should a) not be used to produce road signs and b) should not be linked to from the documentation page. 10mmsocket (talk) 09:36, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
