My primary mission on Wikipedia for the past several months has been updating, correcting and expanding the world's ultra prominent peaks articles. I believe I have found an error in the article List of Ultras of Mexico. I have been unable find a source that lists Volcán Tacaná as an ultra prominent peak. Nor have I found a source stating its prominence measure at all. In the process of deleting the volcano from the list, I noticed following note in the edit window: The following table is specially formatted to facilitate precise sorting. Please discuss any proposed changes at least a few days beforehand. So I cancelled my edit and instead addressed the issue on the article's talk page. However, I have boldly made the necessary corrections at the Volcán Tacaná page.
I have since then noticed that it was you that added the table note, so I thought I would run this all by you. Please read the post at Talk:List of Ultras of Mexico for a full explanation if needed. Is it alright with you if I proceed with the edit? Is there anything about the table itself that would be disrupted. Off the top of my head, I believe I will also have to make some related edits at Ultra prominent peak and now that I have checked also the same thing at List of Ultras of Central America. Thoughts? Thank you. -- Racerx11 ( talk) 15:16, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

British citizenship is one of the six different forms of British nationality. Some of these were defined in the British Nationality Act 1981, which came into force on 1 January 1983. The laws defining how citizenship can be obtained changed on that date, which is why you will often see references to 1983 on this site.
The forms of nationality are:
British citizenship; British overseas citizenship; British overseas territories citizenship; British national (overseas); British protected person; and British subject.
Other forms of British nationality have existed, but they are not current - for example, citizenship of the United Kingdom and colonies (CUKC) or British Dependent Territories citizenship.
Only British citizens, and certain British subjects with right of abode through qualifying connections under the Immigration Act 1971, have the right to live and work in the UK. People holding one of the other forms of nationality may live and work in the UK if their immigration status allows it.
British nationality is defined in law. Whether a person has a claim to British nationality can be determined by applying the definitions and requirements of the British Nationality Act 1981 and related legislation to the facts of their date and place of birth and descent.
The most acceptable evidence of British citizenship is a British passport. For advice on the documents needed for passport applications in the UK, your should read the guidance booklet supplied with passport application forms, visit the Identity and Passport Service website or phone 0300 222 0000. If you believe that you have a claim to British nationality but you cannot apply for a British passport because you do not have the documents needed, you may apply for a nationality status certificate.
British nationality law is complicated, and you are advised to read the Guide NS or obtain professional advice on your claim before applying for a nationality status certificate using Form NS. You can download the form and the guide from the right side of this page. Details of the fee and the payment slip can be found in our fees leaflet.
I'm not exactly sure. With the rise of supranational entities and renewed interest in tradition regional identities, the notion of the traditional nation-state is being challenged as never before. For example, a Glaswegian may identify as a citizen of the European Union, a British citizen, a citizen of the United Kingdom, a citizen of the Great Britain, a citizen of Scotland, and perhaps one or more Scottish regions. The British passports for Gibraltarians have the names of the European Union, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and Gibraltar embossed upon the face. Perhaps we should let users identify themselves as they choose, despite the traditions of international law. Yours aye, Buaidh 01:52, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
I've changed my mind about the templates, they should stay based on the arguments that people should be allowed what they like on their talk pages. So... would you like to continue the above debate?

Buaidh, do we really need that many links to outlines at the bottom of each state's article. I'm looking at these 5 level indents you've added to every U.S territory. It looks a lot like something we should avoid to me. The outlines for each state links to those indexes anyways. Do we really need links to Outline of history or Outline of geography? Wouldn't just one link, to the state's index, be plenty? Was there some decision about this on the outlines project?-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 03:32, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
Here's my suggestion for a minimal U.S. state ==See also== section:
==See also==
{{ports|United States|New York}}
{{cwb}}
*{{sl|Outline of New York}}
**{{sl|Index of New York-related articles}}
***{{csl|Bibliography of New York}}
{{clear}}
Which renders as:
Some states include one or more of these links on there state template, but many do not. I feel we should include this minimal ==See also== set regardless for consistency. If the state WikiProject wishes to add additional links to the ==See also== section, they should be free to do so. Yours aye,
Buaidh 21:39, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
I suppose I could create a linkbox template or something else for these links. Yours aye,
Buaidh 22:01, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
I created Template:Oib which simplies the above to:
==See also==

Hi--I don't think adding a "Related information" link is really necessary at the bottom of an external links section (re: Alaska, Illinois, etc.) It's not recommended at MOS:LAYOUT and it's only adding kbs and clutter, so I'm removing it on Alaska and probably Illinois. -- Funandtrvl ( talk) 22:15, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
Could we get you to read over WP:Link color before making links invisible to our editors. Wikipedia is not the place for nice colors - it is a place to navigate topics. Pls do not chose esthetics over user accessibility. Moxy ( talk) 01:31, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
Can we get you to take more time with your mass edits. Your adding links in the see also section that are already linked in the articles like the word Canada or the Bibliographies that have there own sections with a main link. Also could we get you to only add links to portals that actually have info on the topic of the article that the portal links to. For instance in the Ontario that is a province has no need to link to the commonwealth portal.....why because is not a country nor is there any info at the commonwealth portal about Ontario. I will take the time later to fix all the overlinking as per our policies WP:SEEALSO and WP:Overlink Moxy ( talk) 15:28, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

While it is under discussion please stop adding the template {{ cto}} to articles, as if the result is anything other than keep you are creating a mass of work for editors. There is no rush to complete the encyclopaedia and such changes can be done later, perhaps after changes to how it is used or it's precise formatting are agreed.
And note that your mass notification of editors of the discussion could be considered canvassing, and as such inappropriate. Usually no steps need to be taken to attract editors to TfD (the way the discussions are grouped by day means each discussion is seen by many editors automatically).-- JohnBlackburne words deeds 23:34, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
Out of interest, exactly what criteria did you use in deciding whom to notify regarding these deletions? I find it odd that you apparently found the time to notify at least thirty editors and yet not me, considering I was one of the key participants in the previous discussion. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) ( talk) 11:59, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

The Portal Barnstar is awarded to Wikipedians who have made significant contributions to
topic portals. People sure seem eager to delete the fine work you've done at Template:Ports, some of whom haven't even considered the notion of merging the parameters to Template:Portal that aren't already a part of that template's options. Increased layout options improve the functionality of page layout in the encyclopedia; limiting layout options is inferior, in my opinion. Hopefully people will at least consider a merge.

Hih Buaidh- I know there are some TFDs occurring for the see also and helper templates you've been working on. In the meantime, it appears you've been editing large numbers of articles to reflect alternate approaches to this section. It appears you've made edited four or five generations of the idea- from two templates ({{ oib}}, {{ cwb}}) to one ({{ cto}}), to an outline style (a series of {{ ctl}} links), to a second version of this ({{ ll}} links).
In looking through the deletion discussions, I wonder if part of the bias against your edits is that you continue to make largescale edits while the templates and concepts are being discussed. I'm suggesting that you leave them alone until consensus is achieved- I suspect that would ease other editors' minds.
What do you think about this? tedder ( talk) 20:01, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi Buaidh,
I've been using Grep, to find ways to gather links for countries.
I saw your recent edits to the state outlines, and started messing around with grep (on the WP toolserver) and its regex support on states to see if the searches for state-related articles could be refined to break the results down into meaningful groups of articles.
For example, the search string "Ohio" finds all articles with the word "Ohio" in the title. That list is overwhelmed with town articles that end in ", Ohio". So, to find departments of the Ohio state government, I tried the following search string:
(Ohio(.*)Department)|(Department(.*)Ohio)
The pipe symbol means "or". The dot (period) means any character other than a carriage return or special character. The "*" means "one or more of the preceding thing".
For the results of the above search, see
The list of departments that came up for Colorado was even bigger.
Eventually, editors are going to want to build outlines for the subdivisions of other countries (someone has already started doing so for the states of India). So I'm looking for ways to make this easier and faster.

Hi. I see that you've been busy moving pages for a variety of U.S. government terms, in order to create a set of consistently patterned article titles in Wikipedia. I'm referring to page moves like Metropolitan statistical area to United States metropolitan statistical area, Combined statistical area to United States combined statistical area, and Delaware census statistical areas to Delaware statistical areas. It looks to me like you created articles such as United States statistical area and United States primary statistical area several days ago, then renamed all the rest of these articles so the article names would conform with its name.
I'm always pleased to discover that I'm not the only Wikipedia contributor with an interest in Census geography, but I have a big problem with these renames. Terms like "combined statistical area" are U.S. Bureau of the Census and/or Office of Management and Budget terms that are not normally prefixed with "United States". Those "statistical areas" in the states are census areas, not state-defined areas (some of the states may use other "areas" for statistical purposes). Further, I don't see evidence that terms like "United States statistical area" and "United States primary statistical area" have any history of use outside of your Wikipedia articles (one of which even states "The OMB currently does not use the term "primary statistical area", but the term is useful...").
Was this renaming project discussed somewhere? Did you get consensus for it before you started it? Have you evaluated whether these new titles conform with WP:Article titles?
It looks to me like some original research was involved in generating these new names. IMO, they need to be moved back to the old versions. If there is reason to change some of the names, we should discuss them first. -- Orlady ( talk) 04:46, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
At WP:PRECISION, the disambiguation instructions tell us to first select an unambiguous title such as Combined Statistical Area, a term used by no other country and thus not requiring a move. If that term had not been unique, the next step would have been to use a natural disambiguation made up of another name, one found in reliable sources but not as widely used. I think that United States combined statistical area, the target of Buaidh's move, is not such a natural dab—it is not used by anybody. Finally, PRECISION tells us to use parenthetical disambiguation if natural disambiguation is not obtainable. I think the choice here is between Combined Statistical Area and Combined Statistical Area (United States), not the current situation which fails PRECISION. Binksternet ( talk) 19:49, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Are there any objections to the following titles?
If not, I shall propose the above moves. Yours aye, Buaidh 17:49, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Alternatively, we could do List of Metropolitan Statistical Areas of the United States and List of Statistical Areas of Alabama. Any comments? Buaidh 18:24, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Wikipedia:US states and territories/map, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. JohnBlackburne words deeds 11:36, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

I just started Blanca Wetlands, which is clearly a Protected Area of Colorado, but was not sure where to fit it into template:Protected Areas of Colorado. It is operated by the Bureau of Land Management, so seems Federal rather than State. I put it under National Conservation Areas, which the Bureau of Land Management runs, but I suspect it does not belong there. I saw you have done quite a lot of edits to the template. Do you have any view on where it should go? Thanks, Aymatth2 ( talk) 23:58, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for starting Colorado Bibliography. I have added to, trying to use the format already started. I see some Cite' templates and some without. I tried to keep the alpha in order. Maybe together we could collaborate about the rest of the style and further organization of material. This is just a beginning of my biblios to add. I have more ready to post. Do you have any comments or suggestions before I go too far which would need to be changed or styled differently? If not, I shall continue with what I have. Maybe you would like to review my stuff at User:Draconrex/Bibliography of Gunnison Country. Feel free to utilize this content as you would your own. —Preceding undated comment added 15:35, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of locations in South Park, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Park County ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Both are symbols of the federal government, but would not be appropriate lead images on articles about the states. Since the US has a federal system of government, things like U.S. state dogs and the like are about functions of the states that have no connection to the federal government. I'd suggest that you re-evaluate what list articles get that box and probably remove it from most of them.
Also, the {{ main}} tag isn't really needed at the top of an article, especially if there is already a link to the topic in the lead. That tag is usually used under a section header when the section summarizes another article. Imzadi 1979 → 19:15, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

My primary mission on Wikipedia for the past several months has been updating, correcting and expanding the world's ultra prominent peaks articles. I believe I have found an error in the article List of Ultras of Mexico. I have been unable find a source that lists Volcán Tacaná as an ultra prominent peak. Nor have I found a source stating its prominence measure at all. In the process of deleting the volcano from the list, I noticed following note in the edit window: The following table is specially formatted to facilitate precise sorting. Please discuss any proposed changes at least a few days beforehand. So I cancelled my edit and instead addressed the issue on the article's talk page. However, I have boldly made the necessary corrections at the Volcán Tacaná page.
I have since then noticed that it was you that added the table note, so I thought I would run this all by you. Please read the post at Talk:List of Ultras of Mexico for a full explanation if needed. Is it alright with you if I proceed with the edit? Is there anything about the table itself that would be disrupted. Off the top of my head, I believe I will also have to make some related edits at Ultra prominent peak and now that I have checked also the same thing at List of Ultras of Central America. Thoughts? Thank you. -- Racerx11 ( talk) 15:16, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

British citizenship is one of the six different forms of British nationality. Some of these were defined in the British Nationality Act 1981, which came into force on 1 January 1983. The laws defining how citizenship can be obtained changed on that date, which is why you will often see references to 1983 on this site.
The forms of nationality are:
British citizenship; British overseas citizenship; British overseas territories citizenship; British national (overseas); British protected person; and British subject.
Other forms of British nationality have existed, but they are not current - for example, citizenship of the United Kingdom and colonies (CUKC) or British Dependent Territories citizenship.
Only British citizens, and certain British subjects with right of abode through qualifying connections under the Immigration Act 1971, have the right to live and work in the UK. People holding one of the other forms of nationality may live and work in the UK if their immigration status allows it.
British nationality is defined in law. Whether a person has a claim to British nationality can be determined by applying the definitions and requirements of the British Nationality Act 1981 and related legislation to the facts of their date and place of birth and descent.
The most acceptable evidence of British citizenship is a British passport. For advice on the documents needed for passport applications in the UK, your should read the guidance booklet supplied with passport application forms, visit the Identity and Passport Service website or phone 0300 222 0000. If you believe that you have a claim to British nationality but you cannot apply for a British passport because you do not have the documents needed, you may apply for a nationality status certificate.
British nationality law is complicated, and you are advised to read the Guide NS or obtain professional advice on your claim before applying for a nationality status certificate using Form NS. You can download the form and the guide from the right side of this page. Details of the fee and the payment slip can be found in our fees leaflet.
I'm not exactly sure. With the rise of supranational entities and renewed interest in tradition regional identities, the notion of the traditional nation-state is being challenged as never before. For example, a Glaswegian may identify as a citizen of the European Union, a British citizen, a citizen of the United Kingdom, a citizen of the Great Britain, a citizen of Scotland, and perhaps one or more Scottish regions. The British passports for Gibraltarians have the names of the European Union, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and Gibraltar embossed upon the face. Perhaps we should let users identify themselves as they choose, despite the traditions of international law. Yours aye, Buaidh 01:52, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Buaidh, do we really need that many links to outlines at the bottom of each state's article. I'm looking at these 5 level indents you've added to every U.S territory. It looks a lot like something we should avoid to me. The outlines for each state links to those indexes anyways. Do we really need links to Outline of history or Outline of geography? Wouldn't just one link, to the state's index, be plenty? Was there some decision about this on the outlines project?-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 03:32, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
Here's my suggestion for a minimal U.S. state ==See also== section:
==See also==
{{ports|United States|New York}}
{{cwb}}
*{{sl|Outline of New York}}
**{{sl|Index of New York-related articles}}
***{{csl|Bibliography of New York}}
{{clear}}
Which renders as:
Some states include one or more of these links on there state template, but many do not. I feel we should include this minimal ==See also== set regardless for consistency. If the state WikiProject wishes to add additional links to the ==See also== section, they should be free to do so. Yours aye,

Hi--I don't think adding a "Related information" link is really necessary at the bottom of an external links section (re: Alaska, Illinois, etc.) It's not recommended at MOS:LAYOUT and it's only adding kbs and clutter, so I'm removing it on Alaska and probably Illinois. -- Funandtrvl ( talk) 22:15, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Can we get you to take more time with your mass edits. Your adding links in the see also section that are already linked in the articles like the word Canada or the Bibliographies that have there own sections with a main link. Also could we get you to only add links to portals that actually have info on the topic of the article that the portal links to. For instance in the Ontario that is a province has no need to link to the commonwealth portal.....why because is not a country nor is there any info at the commonwealth portal about Ontario.

While it is under discussion please stop adding the template {{ cto}} to articles, as if the result is anything other than keep you are creating a mass of work for editors. There is no rush to complete the encyclopaedia and such changes can be done later, perhaps after changes to how it is used or it's precise formatting are agreed.
And note that your mass notification of editors of the discussion could be considered canvassing, and as such inappropriate. Usually no steps need to be taken to attract editors to TfD (the way the discussions are grouped by day means each discussion is seen by many editors automatically).-- JohnBlackburne words deeds 23:34, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Hih Buaidh- I know there are some TFDs occurring for the see also and helper templates you've been working on. In the meantime, it appears you've been editing large numbers of articles to reflect alternate approaches to this section. It appears you've made edited four or five generations of the idea- from two templates ({{ oib}}, {{ cwb}}) to one ({{ cto}}), to an outline style (a series of {{ ctl}} links), to a second version of this ({{ ll}} links).
In looking through the deletion discussions, I wonder if part of the bias against your edits is that you continue to make largescale edits while the templates and concepts are being discussed. I'm suggesting that you leave them alone until consensus is achieved- I suspect that would ease other editors' minds.

Hi Buaidh,
I've been using Grep, to find ways to gather links for countries.
I saw your recent edits to the state outlines, and started messing around with grep (on the WP toolserver) and its regex support on states to see if the searches for state-related articles could be refined to break the results down into meaningful groups of articles.
For example, the search string "Ohio" finds all articles with the word "Ohio" in the title. That list is overwhelmed with town articles that end in ", Ohio". So, to find departments of the Ohio state government, I tried the following search string:
(Ohio(.*)Department)|(Department(.*)Ohio)
The pipe symbol means "or". The dot (period) means any character other than a carriage return or special character. The "*" means "one or more of the preceding thing".
For the results of the above search, see
The list of departments that came up for Colorado was even bigger.
Eventually, editors are going to want to build outlines for the subdivisions of other countries (someone has already started doing so for the states of India). So I'm looking for ways to make this easier and faster.

I came across your Most Prominent Mountain Peaks of Alaska page and noted that Vulgarian Peak was incorrectly included. See the talk section on that page for other corrections and supporting rationale. SCGruhn ( talk) 07:50, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
On your isolation lists of peaks in Alaska and the United States, perhaps you might consider listing Attu Mountain. Kiska Volcano, the nearest higher peak to Attu Mountain, is more than 204 miles away. SCGruhn ( talk) 08:07, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I see that you've been busy moving pages for a variety of U.S. government terms, in order to create a set of consistently patterned article titles in Wikipedia. I'm referring to page moves like Metropolitan statistical area to United States metropolitan statistical area, Combined statistical area to United States combined statistical area, and Delaware census statistical areas to Delaware statistical areas. It looks to me like you created articles such as United States statistical area and United States primary statistical area several days ago, then renamed all the rest of these articles so the article names would conform with its name.
I'm always pleased to discover that I'm not the only Wikipedia contributor with an interest in Census geography, but I have a big problem with these renames. Terms like "combined statistical area" are U.S. Bureau of the Census and/or Office of Management and Budget terms that are not normally prefixed with "United States". Those "statistical areas" in the states are census areas, not state-defined areas (some of the states may use other "areas" for statistical purposes). Further, I don't see evidence that terms like "United States statistical area" and "United States primary statistical area" have any history of use outside of your Wikipedia articles (one of which even states "The OMB currently does not use the term "primary statistical area", but the term is useful...").
Was this renaming project discussed somewhere? Did you get consensus for it before you started it? Have you evaluated whether these new titles conform with WP:Article titles?
It looks to me like some original research was involved in generating these new names. IMO, they need to be moved back to the old versions. If there is reason to change some of the names, we should discuss them first. -- Orlady ( talk) 04:46, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
At WP:PRECISION, the disambiguation instructions tell us to first select an unambiguous title such as Combined Statistical Area, a term used by no other country and thus not requiring a move. If that term had not been unique, the next step would have been to use a natural disambiguation made up of another name, one found in reliable sources but not as widely used. I think that United States combined statistical area, the target of Buaidh's move, is not such a natural dab—it is not used by anybody. Finally, PRECISION tells us to use parenthetical disambiguation if natural disambiguation is not obtainable. I think the choice here is between Combined Statistical Area and Combined Statistical Area (United States), not the current situation which fails PRECISION. Binksternet ( talk) 19:49, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Are there any objections to the following titles?
If not, I shall propose the above moves. Yours aye, Buaidh 17:49, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
This expands our move list a bit:
Alternatively, we could do List of Metropolitan Statistical Areas of the United States and List of Statistical Areas of Alabama. Any comments? Buaidh 18:24, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Apologies for getting this out so late, but this is all Pharos' fault. Please blame everything on Pharos.
That said, this message is just to let you know that we're having a photo hunt for Wiki Loves Monuments at 11:00 in the morning of Saturday the 15th in Boulder, probably somewhere around CU, though the exact location hasn't yet been decided. Since you have previously attended or expressed interest in other meetups in the area, hopefully you might be able to come.
Please sign up as soon as possible if you're interested; we'd love to have you along to help postpone the squirrel apocalypse. Or at least get some decent images. -— Isarra ༆ 05:02, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Wikipedia:US states and territories/map, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. JohnBlackburne words deeds 11:36, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

I just started Blanca Wetlands, which is clearly a Protected Area of Colorado, but was not sure where to fit it into template:Protected Areas of Colorado. It is operated by the Bureau of Land Management, so seems Federal rather than State. I put it under National Conservation Areas, which the Bureau of Land Management runs, but I suspect it does not belong there. I saw you have done quite a lot of edits to the template. Do you have any view on where it should go? Thanks, Aymatth2 ( talk) 23:58, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for starting Colorado Bibliography. I have added to, trying to use the format already started. I see some Cite' templates and some without. I tried to keep the alpha in order. Maybe together we could collaborate about the rest of the style and further organization of material. This is just a beginning of my biblios to add. I have more ready to post. Do you have any comments or suggestions before I go too far which would need to be changed or styled differently? If not, I shall continue with what I have. Maybe you would like to review my stuff at User:Draconrex/Bibliography of Gunnison Country.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of locations in South Park, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Park County ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Both are symbols of the federal government, but would not be appropriate lead images on articles about the states. Since the US has a federal system of government, things like U.S. state dogs and the like are about functions of the states that have no connection to the federal government. I'd suggest that you re-evaluate what list articles get that box and probably remove it from most of them.
Also, the {{ main}} tag isn't really needed at the top of an article, especially if there is already a link to the topic in the lead. That tag is usually used under a section header when the section summarizes another article. Imzadi 1979 → 19:15, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

The K is a stand-in for thousand as in KM, KG or KW. Without a discussion, your move and replacing of the capital is inappropriate. I have reverted your changes and moved the article back.
