| I'm a little cautious on doing this, but I started the ] yesterday, and our NCs state that the article is "Virginia State Highway X". ] and ] are a few of the articles that do not follow this NC. I found that much of the articles that follow this are in the Richmond area. Looking at the history, it was SPUI who moved those from Virginia State Highway 895, etc. There are other articles in the state, such as ] (in the south of the state) and ] and ] that both follow our current convention. Seeing the controversy that is currently ensuing, I don't know what I should do about the vigilante articles. If I'm correct, it would seem that we are coming to an understanding that the NCs are by highway system, correct? I'm holding off on moving the other articles because I don't want it to be taken as an act of hostility and cause me to get banned or anything. But I do need some help because this whole situation is very confusing to me. So two questions: | |||
| :1) Are we coming to a general agreement like the one I mentioned above? | |||
