Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Puerto Rico Highway 115, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Aguada (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thanks for your recent edits to PR road artciles, such as this. I had been wanting to get back to update all of them but never seemed to have enough time. I will be updating them as my time permits. Essentially, this link can be used to document what network a particular route belongs to (Primary, Secondary or Tertiary). In addition, for which shield design is used in which road network, this site has that info.

You might had also made edits to the cites documenting lengths of various roads, like here. In that case, cites such as this, this, this, this, or this one (PR-52, PR-22 only), generally can help with road lengths. In any event, thanks for your keen eye - it helped me zero in on much needed updates!

If you have any questions, let me know. @Yarfpr: I think will also be happy to help. Mercy11 (talk) 15:13, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Your welcome. I'll be hopefully soon taking pictures of places and road signs in PR and posting them--The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 15:30, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

I have found that roadway pics that include the road marker are more useful than those that don't. For example, compare this photo of PR-26 in Isla Verde versus this one of PR-163 in Ponce. No one can argue that the one of PR-163 is indeed PR-163 because the sign is there. The one claiming it's of PR-26 could be unconvincing. A person that's not familiar with PR-163 can look at the photo and know that it is indeed a pic of PR-163, but someone looking at the alleged photo of PR-26 has to take the "Puerto Rico Highway 26 in Isla Verde" word of the uploader "by faith" because the pic doesn't show the road marker. BTW, I am not talking about whether or not the pic of PR-26 is truly a pic of PR-26; I am taking about WP:V. In closing, check out this one (there are 1000s of similar cases in Wikipedia) used in the Cloud article and claiming to be over Australia, when it could be over anywhere worldwide and the "Australia" part is irrelevant to fully understand the article.

Absolutely true - I'll try to get some pics with road markers, while being careful to drive safe... I really don't know how successful I'll be We'll see. I'll try to use the Wikipedia ″nearby″ feature so it will tell me what places are near me. The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 00:22, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
