Talk:U.S. Route 2 in Vermont

Latest comment: 2 years ago by Calidum in topic Requested move 26 March 2022

Moose

edit

At best, moose are a tourist attraction. At worst, for skilled drivers, a threat in waiting. The quote was taken from a nationwide Associated Press article which was reprinted in my very distant state. IMO, we need something in these articles besides intersections. Roads are not identical. This one differs because it is pervaded by moose (in season, and sometimes out). Student7 (talk) 13:20, 9 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

But unless the road is known for having an outrash in moose incidents, it doesn't belong in a certain article. My suggestion would be finding if the route is known in general (not just one area), it just seems to trivial. Plus the threat in waiting piece doesn't really belong in a road article.Mitch32(It is very likely this guy doesn't have a girlfriend.) 19:26, 9 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
In fact, the point of the nationwide Associated Press article, is that parts of four roads in Vermont, are indeed pervaded with moose to the point that the Vermont State Police, doing their job, has warned drivers of them. They probably total 40 miles of (what?) thousands of miles of road in Vermont.
And what prevents roads from having a history and other facts germane to the road? Where is it written that material must all be bland? Interstates have history and other interesting facts about them. So blandness is not required. Student7 (talk) 20:55, 14 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
It is trivial though, are people coming to Wikipedia to find out what roads have moose invasions? Mitch32(It is very likely this guy doesn't have a girlfriend.) 02:49, 15 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
The reason the route description is "bland" is that the text dates back to when this page was split from the main US 2 article in 2009. The route descriptions in articles on multi-state routes that are long enough to have state-detail articles are more or less overviews, which explains why this article has such a basic description. You're more than welcome to expand it. (Seriously, the "someone else needs to expand/fix this article" attitude that I've seen from a few editors over the past few months is absurd and makes no sense on a wiki.)
As for the moose topic, the added piece is definitely too trivial for the lead. There might be a place for it in a reworked route description, but even that's debatable. – TMF (talk) 04:27, 15 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

New York and Vermont?

edit

Shouldn't the title of this page be "U.S. Route 2 in New York and Vermont", as such format is used for other instances where the first few miles of a route are in a different state? Azmjc02 (talk) 04:17, 28 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

When it's a negligible length of highway, such at 0.87 miles compared to 150 miles, we just go ahead and use the longer route's name. –Fredddie 17:54, 28 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
Got it, thank you for your assistance. :) Azmjc02 (talk) 18:33, 28 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
Sorry to revive this discussion, but I found an example of what I was talking about: U.S. Route 64 in Arizona and New Mexico. Theoretically, either this example's title should be changed or U.S. Route 2 in Vermont should be changed. Azmjc02 (talk) 05:52, 8 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

U.S. Route 2 in VermontU.S. Route 2 in New York and Vermont – Similar to U.S. Route 64 in Arizona and New Mexico, it has information on the New York segment of the highway, even if it’s negligible, and I thought it wild be on just Vermont and it wasn’t, this will avoid confusion. 74.101.118.197 (talk) 22:21, 26 March 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Spekkios (talk) 22:58, 11 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose per Imzadi1979. If the Vermont section of US 2 was 5 miles long, sure, we could include New York in the title. However, that's not the case so let's leave it be. –Fredddie 04:39, 5 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
