Select ALT US 40. Imzadi 1979 → 01:26, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

U.S. Route 40 Alternate (Keysers Ridge – Cumberland, Maryland) A good FA on a special route. --Admrboltz (talk) 07:00, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
- Maybe I'm wrong but I thought it already had been the selected article (I haven't checked because the only thing I can get an internet connection on is my cell phone) - Algorerhythms (talk) 23:40, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
  - I checked, at least it wasn't tagged as such. --Admrboltz (talk) 23:59, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
  - The national parent article for US 40 has been selected before, but none of its spinoffs. Imzadi 1979 → 00:35, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Support - Great article and we have not seen MD for a while. Dough 48 72 03:07, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
- Comment Maryland was partially featured in the selected article for June 2010, US 113. V C 03:10, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Select US 199. Dough 48 72 00:03, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

New Jersey Route 55 - Have not seen NJ in a while. Dough 48 72 00:27, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

U.S. Route 199 - While this is only a GA (NJ 55 is a A class), we have never seen Oregon, and its been longer since we've seen CA than NJ. --Admrboltz (talk) 00:50, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Support seeing Oregon on the portal. –Fredddie ™ 01:55, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Comment I can support this article (like I did once before) but only if someone takes the time to fix it up. The lead doesn't meet the GAC (no summary of the history), and the RJLs could be combined for the two state segments. I question all of the boldface text in the History section as well. Once these are addressed, the article should be good to go. Imzadi 1979 → 01:59, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

I may be motivated enough to fix it up tomorrow. --Admrboltz (talk) 02:04, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Lead and RJL tweaked. --Admrboltz (talk) 19:17, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Support - I can go with this article now that the lead is better. Dough 48 72 19:53, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Select I-70, delay Prairie Avenue. Imzadi 1979 → 08:31, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Interstate 70 in West Virginia - WV has not been featured on the portal before except as part of I-68 in April 2009. --Admrboltz (talk) 21:13, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
- Support - A nice change. Dough 48 72 04:45, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Prairie Avenue - The Featured Article from the US Streets project. As you know, this portal is not just for USRD. In addition, it's been a few months since Illinois has had the selected article. –Fredddie™ 11:52, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- I'm all for using this article, but Illinois was last featured in April 2010. I'd suggest delaying this nomination until October for the 140th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire. Imzadi 1979 → 12:16, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- Support for October. Dough 48 72 21:25, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Select South Pole Traverse. Dough 48 72 23:58, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

South Pole Traverse - A road, er trail, in Antarctica connecting two U.S. research stations. Not on U.S. soil or North America for that matter. Even have an appropriate picture. Dough 48 72 04:17, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Support. This is silly enough to work. –Fredddie ™ 04:49, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Support. Marginally part of USRD, but gives some chilling exposure to the work of the Antarctica Roads Project. V C 02:45, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Maybe Wikipedia:WikiProject Antarctica Highways should be our selected article :P Dough 48 72 00:01, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Support I'll try to gussy it up some and GAN it before then too :) --Admrboltz (talk) 00:20, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Select US 30 in IA. Dough 48 72 15:41, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

U.S. Route 30 in Iowa - FA from Iowa. Dough 48 72 00:15, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
- Support for now. Iowa was featured last summer, so if an article from a less represented state is nominated, I might change my support. V C 14:57, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Select MN 610. Dough 48 72 00:18, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Minnesota State Highway 610 - GA, never had MN before. Dough 48 72 16:32, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
- I rewrote that article and took it to GAN, so I appreciate the nomination of my work. However, the May SA is from Iowa, so it might be a little too soon for another Midwestern article. Imzadi 1979 → 16:59, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
- Support. Consider that when the portal first started, three of the first five selected pictures were from Nevada. Also, there have only been three SAs from this region. I don't think it's a big deal. –Fredddie ™ 22:25, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Select Capitol Loop. Dough 48 72 02:00, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Capitol Loop - It has been 1 1/2 years since the last Selected article from Michigan. V C 13:29, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- Support - Different to have a FA on a city street for a change. Dough 48 72 01:33, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Select the business loop. Imzadi 1979 → 01:09, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Interstate 80 Business (West Wendover, Nevada – Wendover, Utah): Featured Article. Utah was included here less than a year ago, but it has been a few years since the last Nevada article. This would be the first business route of any kind to be a Selected article. V C 15:09, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Support. Regional balance, be damned. I like it. –Fredddie ™ 21:52, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Select Prarie Avenue. Dough 48 72 15:01, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Prairie Avenue - FA from USST, which is covered as part of this portal. Suggested back in March to be used for this month as it is the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire. Dough 48 72 02:55, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Select WA 339. Dough 48 72 01:28, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Washington State Route 339 - A-class article from WA. Interesting as entire route is on ferry. Dough 48 72 00:43, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Select Baltimore-Washington Parkway. Dough 48 72 01:38, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Baltimore-Washington Parkway - A-class article, have not had MD in a while. Dough 48 72 02:25, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Puerto Rico Highway 10 – B-class article, we've never had a Puerto Rico article. –Fredddie™ 03:22, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
- Support new frontier. V C 19:09, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose - While it would be nice to see a SA from PR, this article isn't in the best shape. Dough 48 72 19:39, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose—I'd be happy to support, but this article needs work. Personally, we have many, many other GA-Class or A-Class articles to run so this one can wait until sometime when it can actually pass GAN. Imzadi 1979 → 19:56, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
