==ACR==

I just noticed that most articles on ACR have been up since November! Please, help clear the backlog now, before 2009! [[Christmas|Merry Christmas]], from [[User:ComputerGuy|ComputerGuy]] [[User talk:ComputerGuy|talk]] 17:03, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

==250th Road GA!==

With the addition of [[New York State Route 398]], we now have a total of 250 GAs from all over the world. The roads are listed under "road infastructure" on the GA list and it states that there are now 250 articles in the section.

==2008: Year in review==
It's been a rough year for USRD. Towards the beginning, we had just begun the second arbitration case, and throughout the year there were several disagreements.

On the other hand, we have made much progress throughout the year in terms of article quality. On January 1, we had 3 FAs; we now have 22. We now have 18 A-class articles (up from 6), our first 5 featured lists, and 217 GAs (up from 23). We have many more quality articles than we did last year.

Hopefully in 2009 we will continue to improve article quality across USRD and have a more successful year as a project. --'''[[User:Rschen7754|Rschen7754]]''' ([[User talk:Rschen7754|T]] [[Special:Contributions/Rschen7754|C]]) 05:52, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
==Featured member for December==
[[User:Algorerhythms]] has been active in the [[WP:USRD/MTF| maps task force]] and with his map contributions has helped numerous articles reach [[WP:GA|GA]] or [[WP:FA|FA]] status. He has also been active writing about articles about roads in Maryland, especially historical routes of [[U.S. Route 40]], including the recently promoted [[U.S. Route 40 Alternate (Keyser's Ridge – Cumberland, Maryland)]]. Thanks for the hard work.

The featured member for January is now being discussed, if you want to nominate someone for featured member, head on over to [[WT:USRD/B]].
