I'm an Iowa-moderate college educated Catholic who has a hard time with someone who uses Wiki for supposed conservative control for political purposes. So I will be checking your other Iowa delegation pages and change information as required. Fortunately, Wiki has a history of changes and the truth will prevail.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.126.31.51 ( talk • contribs)
I just copy/pasted info from Stat Quo's (i think that was the page) page. That's what was used there.
Oh and for some reason Ca$his's page doesn't exist anymore... :'( —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheCoffinRobber ( talk • contribs)

Thanks for uploading Image:GSB logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:19, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello! As a fellow Republican, I think we have common goals. Improve Wikipedia, and spread the Republican agenda. I do disagree however, on what you did on the page I listed above.
You removed my comment on a senior political person's opioion on the race. The person's name is on the 1st part of the page, where you hit main.
I will wait for your response, but if I put the name of said person, can I re-put it?

Finally, someone still interested in the project. I'm currently trying to make the project's pages more useful so that more people could possibly join the project. I'll be focusing on the Government workgroup for a while then moving onto the (not yet established) Communities workgroup. These two groups would cover a majority of Iowa articles. If you'd like to help me in this we could discuss it here or in irc chat? Thanks, and I've put your talk page on my watchlist. Psych less 00:28, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
(outdent, I'm not typing that many colons :)) We were both misunderstanding each other then, my idea was to create a list of all of them, and I don't mind the amount of time it will take, someone has to do it. If we don't even know the names of the senators and representatives we can't work towards creating articles on them. Psych less 02:09, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Now, let's say you're assessing an article on a member of the Iowa Senate. Let's say it's Start class and Mid importance. You would put this on the talk page: {{Project Iowa |class=Start |importance=Mid |government=yes |section=is}}
A bot would go through all the articles tagged with {{ Project Iowa}} and that have the parameter |government= set to yes. The bot would see what's in the section parameter for each article. If it's is then the bot would add an entry to the Iowa Senate table on the article. It would also update the tables as necessary. Does this make any more sense? Psych less 22:33, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey Tim -
In response to your comments at Talk:Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy, I have a couple things to say:
1. My understanding (and I'm an amateur in this area, so I might be wrong) is that the term "Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy" does refer mainly to the controversy within the Presbyterian Church in the USA. I think that Wikipedia could go for a broader article on the topic of "Liberal vs. Conservative Christianity in America in the Early 20th Century" (or, better yet, something with a better title that people might actually search for), but I would actually limit the term "Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy" to what happened within Presbyterianism. Today, I modified the article to include the relationship of the Presbyterian Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy. Since you're someone who's studied this topic, I'd like to know if you think that the current page is basically accurate, or if it still leaves something to be desired.
2. When I wrote that article, I assumed that if that understanding was wrong, someone would write a broader article on "The Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy" and re-label my article as "The Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy in the Presbyterian Church" or something like that.
3. I think that given 20th-century developments, it's easy to forget how closely allied Presbyterians and Baptists were at the start of the 20th century. I don't know that I sufficiently incorporated Baptists into the article. But heck, the point of Wikipedia isn't that I'm an expert in that topic, it's that it's supposed to call forth editing by people who genuinely are. Ahem, ahem. I have some minor, amateur expertise on early-20th century Presbyterianism, so I wrote an article on that topic. I don't claim to be an expert on the topic - I just wanted to impart what I know.
4. Overall, I think that a lot of people who comment on the Fundamentalist-Modernist controversy often don't even know the basic details. I think that my article actually provides people with a lot more historical knowledge than they would normally be able to access. Heck, I basically wrote the article because I thought that there wasn't a good website available on the topic and, rather than create one myself, I thought I might as well use Wikipedia. I certainly don't mean to pose as some sort of sole arbiter on this issue - I just wrote about stuff that I know.
5. Any suggestions you have to improve the article would be greatly appreciated. I am not, of course, the owner of this page, though I wrote the first draft. My hope in doing that first draft was that people would add more, find my errors, etc. - which hasn't really happened. But seriously, any problems you see with the article or if you have stuff you want to add, please feel free. Adam_sk 02:25, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I read about that discussion you had on my user page. Thanks for being the only one to vote yes... i am new... and it did upset me. You guys should be a little nicer cuz that should be put under bullying in the encyclopidia. And now you are planning to rip apart my user page? Geez! I'm telling all my friends and teachers and school not to use wikipedia because it is harsh, cruel, crude, and overall not understanding. They will all listen! But thank you for listening to me. I am still very upset though. I don't even have a myspace. Those were all STORIES! I like to write STORIES! I had them there so all my friends in school could read my STORIES!

Congratulations to our 225 new members |
The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page
Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network: Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best man (or woman) win!

News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2017).
Philosopher, Thank you for establishing my wiki page. I would like your help to update my information, especially my political activities that followed my defeat in the 1998 election. After the Iowa Legislature (1979-1999), I worked as the Substitute Administrator for the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division. Then moved back to my home state of Minnesota November of 2000 and became very active in the DFL Party and held two public offices in Minnesota. In addition, I have been elected to serve as a Democratic National Convention delegate/alternate five times. Three in Iowa and two in Minnesota (Iowa - 1980 alternate, 1984 and 2000 delegate; Minnesota delegate 2004 and 2016). There is more and I would like your help to include it in by biography. Can I send you a suggested and significant change for your to consider adding? 156.99.40.14 ( talk) 21:56, 1 September 2017 (UTC)Rod Halvorson halvorrod@yahoo.com 651-235-6036

So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup? If you have a view on these or other matters, why not join in the WikiCup discussion about next year's contest?

I saw you seem to know quite about making templates...so I was wondering if you know whether it's possible to make a template apply a category only when the template is being used in the User: namespace? Thanks. -- User:Tim4christ17 talk 15:52, 18 June 2007 (UTC-5)

Finally, someone still interested in the project. I'm currently trying to make the project's pages more useful so that more people could possibly join the project. I'll be focusing on the Government workgroup for a while then moving onto the (not yet established) Communities workgroup. These two groups would cover a majority of Iowa articles. If you'd like to help me in this we could discuss it here or in irc chat? Thanks, and I've put your talk page on my watchlist. Psych less 00:28, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
(outdent, I'm not typing that many colons :)) We were both misunderstanding each other then, my idea was to create a list of all of them, and I don't mind the amount of time it will take, someone has to do it. If we don't even know the names of the senators and representatives we can't work towards creating articles on them. Psych less 02:09, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Now, let's say you're assessing an article on a member of the Iowa Senate. Let's say it's Start class and Mid importance. You would put this on the talk page: {{Project Iowa |class=Start |importance=Mid |government=yes |section=is}}
A bot would go through all the articles tagged with {{ Project Iowa}} and that have the parameter |government= set to yes. The bot would see what's in the section parameter for each article. If it's is then the bot would add an entry to the Iowa Senate table on the article. It would also update the tables as necessary. Does this make any more sense? Psych less 22:33, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey Tim -
In response to your comments at Talk:Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy, I have a couple things to say:
1. My understanding (and I'm an amateur in this area, so I might be wrong) is that the term "Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy" does refer mainly to the controversy within the Presbyterian Church in the USA. I think that Wikipedia could go for a broader article on the topic of "Liberal vs. Conservative Christianity in America in the Early 20th Century" (or, better yet, something with a better title that people might actually search for), but I would actually limit the term "Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy" to what happened within Presbyterianism. Today, I modified the article to include the relationship of the Presbyterian Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy. Since you're someone who's studied this topic, I'd like to know if you think that the current page is basically accurate, or if it still leaves something to be desired.
2. When I wrote that article, I assumed that if that understanding was wrong, someone would write a broader article on "The Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy" and re-label my article as "The Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy in the Presbyterian Church" or something like that.
3. I think that given 20th-century developments, it's easy to forget how closely allied Presbyterians and Baptists were at the start of the 20th century. I don't know that I sufficiently incorporated Baptists into the article. But heck, the point of Wikipedia isn't that I'm an expert in that topic, it's that it's supposed to call forth editing by people who genuinely are. Ahem, ahem. I have some minor, amateur expertise on early-20th century Presbyterianism, so I wrote an article on that topic. I don't claim to be an expert on the topic - I just wanted to impart what I know.
4. Overall, I think that a lot of people who comment on the Fundamentalist-Modernist controversy often don't even know the basic details. I think that my article actually provides people with a lot more historical knowledge than they would normally be able to access. Heck, I basically wrote the article because I thought that there wasn't a good website available on the topic and, rather than create one myself, I thought I might as well use Wikipedia. I certainly don't mean to pose as some sort of sole arbiter on this issue - I just wrote about stuff that I know.
5. Any suggestions you have to improve the article would be greatly appreciated. I am not, of course, the owner of this page, though I wrote the first draft. My hope in doing that first draft was that people would add more, find my errors, etc. - which hasn't really happened. But seriously, any problems you see with the article or if you have stuff you want to add, please feel free. Adam_sk 02:25, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I read about that discussion you had on my user page. Thanks for being the only one to vote yes... i am new... and it did upset me. You guys should be a little nicer cuz that should be put under bullying in the encyclopidia. And now you are planning to rip apart my user page? Geez! I'm telling all my friends and teachers and school not to use wikipedia because it is harsh, cruel, crude, and overall not understanding. They will all listen! But thank you for listening to me. I am still very upset though. I don't even have a myspace. Those were all STORIES! I like to write STORIES! I had them there so all my friends in school could read my STORIES!

Congratulations to our 225 new members |
The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page
Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network: Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best man (or woman) win!

News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2017).
Philosopher, Thank you for establishing my wiki page. I would like your help to update my information, especially my political activities that followed my defeat in the 1998 election. After the Iowa Legislature (1979-1999), I worked as the Substitute Administrator for the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division. Then moved back to my home state of Minnesota November of 2000 and became very active in the DFL Party and held two public offices in Minnesota. In addition, I have been elected to serve as a Democratic National Convention delegate/alternate five times. Three in Iowa and two in Minnesota (Iowa - 1980 alternate, 1984 and 2000 delegate; Minnesota delegate 2004 and 2016). There is more and I would like your help to include it in by biography. Can I send you a suggested and significant change for your to consider adding? 156.99.40.14 ( talk) 21:56, 1 September 2017 (UTC)Rod Halvorson halvorrod@yahoo.com 651-235-6036

So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup? If you have a view on these or other matters, why not join in the WikiCup discussion about next year's contest?
