Why did you remove the category- municipalities of Spain? Although it is a part of Galicia, it is also part of Spain.-- Adam ( talk) 18:59, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for putting the new templates on the articles I started. It will be easier for me to find the articles to translate and put on the English wiki. I translate them from Portuguese.-- Adam ( talk) 19:13, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Estoy algo cansado asi que mejor te escribo en castellano. He estado trabajando y/o reescribiendo el articulo de History of Galicia y cree tambien un articulo llamado Celtic Gallaecia el cual abarca bastante de la cultura Castrexa, podrias hecharles un ojo y nos podemos poner de acuerdo para estar escribiendo los articulos historicos?
Saludos. Jfreyre 03:24, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Bueno dado el precedente, pues sigo en español,ya que me resulta infinitamente más sencillo. Bueno como te comenté con anterioridad me he dado a la tarea de empezar a escribir, traducir y subir imagenes referentes a la historia de galicia.
Referente a la Prehistoria no tenemos absolutamete nada, por lo cual resultaria conveniente traducir y ampliar el articulo:
http://gl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalitismo_en_Galicia
Por otro lado quizas serìa conveniente crear un articulo referente a la edad de bronce en galicia para que nuestra serie de articulos posean continuidad historica.
Si bien en este momento tenemos algunos articulos referentes al tema seria conveniente unir los articulos de Castro y Cultura Castrexa, al igual que expandirlos usando como base el articulo de Hillforts y su contraparte en la galipedia:
http://gl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castro_%28poboado%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillfort
Por otro lado tenemos nuevamente el articulo Celltic Gallaecia el cual deberia surgir de nexo para todos los subitems que vayamos generando alrededor del tema.
He subido unos mapas, aunque hay que ampliar las incursiones romanas en galicia antes de que formase parte de hispania. ie: la incursion de julio cesar etc.
Hay otros puntos que deberiamos cubrir pero con eso tenems suficiente por ahora
Saludos y que pases un muy feliz año!!! Jfreyre 15:21, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for your welcome, Dannycas. I appreciate it. Mayhaps we shall encounter each other sometime during our journeys in this free encyclopedia. Adamantium Guy 21:24, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi mine friend, I've been busy so i'm not been working on the galician project, but I think we have to do something with the Kingdom of Galicia Article and the suevi article. Jfreyre
Quizas tambien seria conveniente hablar un poco de la incidencia que tuvo que la nobleza gallega apoyara al bando perdedor en la sucesion española y las consecuencias que tuvo para la region, al igual que tratr de ver si colocamos algo de la edad moderna que la tenemos competamente vacia.
bueno me depsido por ahora saludos. Jfreyre

Your removal (26 Jan) of non-existant image links completed the previous anon vandalism of 28 min earlier - Leonard G. 03:21, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
What was really strange to me was that not only did the deletion "stick" until I noticed it (I was looking for the red bridge image), the fifteen intermediate edits ultimately changed only a few words in two paragraphs! There is an easy way to revert quickly, by the way. Need info? Leonard G. 01:55, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
How to revert a page:
First, check the history. You can view complete pages by clicking on the date. (Note that the page and the talk page have separate histories). To view a complete page at a point in time click on the date. To detect what was changed, select the left side radiobuttons and then use the button Compare selected versions.
Case 1: Revert a vandalized page. Select valid version's date. When the page comes up, select edit this page at the top. You will see a warning that you are editing an out-of-date version. Use the Save page button at the bottom. OK through any additional out of date warnings to save this original version.
Case 2: Revert to an earlier version which was edited legitimately after the vandalism. Apply Case 1, then compare the immediately preceding version with the one you just restored. This will show the paragraphs to be restored. Open both the new and the preceding versions for edit and copy and paste the changed paragraphs.
Beware: Someone with intent to delete paragraphs with intent to obscure facts of the article may bury a deletion within a series of legitimate edits - I saw this in Oil refinery, with six or seven edits covering the anon deletion of an entire paragraph (environmental concerns) that was not favorable to the industry - probably some marketing VP at an oil company.
You may want to put on your watchlist articles that you are familiar with. Also, checking the edit "diff" for the last edit is not enough as it may appear OK, with vandalism preceding. Always use the history. Also note that a vandal can register and vandalize with other than an IP address, so it is a good idea to check.
I stopped chasing vandals in real time and am reducing my watchlist. Now, I just cycle through specific articles and checking between my previous edit and the current state. Mark the article with some trivial edit for your next time through. So I might not review an article for a long while but keep up with changes.
Best wishes, Leonard.

Hi,
Thanks for starting the Oratory page; I've been meening to get around to it for a while. Oratory is actually not an Oratorian school, though based on some old NY Times ads it may have been somehow connected around 1913 or so (Steve Fava and I have done a fair amount of research into the history of Oratory). Liamdaly620 15:50, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I graduated from Oratory in '01... which was long enough ago that when I go back to visit I don't know half the teachers anymore, and a lot of the good ones are gone Liamdaly620 18:23, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for finding that error in my artice. The "186" refers to the year 1896, though I accidentaly left out the "9". Thank you agains for finding thast error, and if you find any error with any of my other edits, you can leave a message on my talk page. If you need any other atricles to be edited, or you would like me to write a new article, again just leave me a message. Thanks, Thetruthbelow 16:19, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
I notice you uploaded the image Image:PonteBurgoPontevedra.jpg with the {{ web-screenshot}} fair use image tag. However, it appears that this tag is totally unrelated to the content of the image, and as a result it may qualify for speedy deletion. Image:PonteBurgoPontevedra.jpg has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.
If you can find a valid tag that expresses why Image:PonteBurgoPontevedra.jpg can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the {{ web-screenshot}} tag that you have placed on it with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{ Non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can reupload it but please ensure you place the correct tag on it. However, you must not remove the speedy deletion notice. Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia. -- cohesion 05:14, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I can't speak for Panzer Dragoon or Zwei (although my understanding is that they had no save system) but Saga definitely has a save system, although I don't offhand know how many blocks it takes up and it's too late now to fire up the Saturn and take a look. As for Orta I have no idea at all; I don't like that at all, and don't consider it canon. I'll find out for you how many blocks PDS needs in the morning. ThomasWinwood( t c) 00:47, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
I think you might have jumped the gun with the semiprotect, I can't see any vandalism in the recent history. Sure, there have been a couple of superfluous and inaccurate postings but not vandalism. There have even been a couple of useful anon postings. I'm all for using page protection, I applied it to Frederico Chaves Guedes a few days ago, but that really was for a blizzard of vandalism and total nonsense. Mitch probably doesn't need to be protected for longer than a couple of days, do you agree? Nice one, Deizio talk 12:16, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

An image you uploaded, Image:Betanzos Shield.jpg, was tagged with the {{ coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{ seal}}.

The Reboot of
Wikiproject New Jersey has certainly stirred up some new activity at the project. Discussion on several improvements and new initiatives have been going on at the
talk page. There has been an involved
discussion regarding our 91
unassessed articles, especially those on municipalities. The current goal is to review and assess all 566 New Jersey muncipality articles by September 30. A suggestion has been made to intiate Wikipedia Takes New Jersey to begin clearing the large backlog of articles needing photos. Let's all grab our cameras and head out into the vast wilds of the Garden State. Town Halls, High Schools, Historic Places - every article deserves a picture. |

Battle of Trenton was recently proposed as a Featured Article candidate. It was not promoted, but has now been nominated for A-Class review through the Military History WikiProject. Take a look at their A-Class FAQ. As we need to set up our own process for reviewing A-Class articles, it may be worth watching the process. |

Reboot progress report | Help Wanted | ||
The redesign has been well received. There are still some things left to do. This newsletter was one big check mark off the list. Hopefully this can be continued on a regular basis. There are literally thousands of articles in
Category:New Jersey that have not been tagged as part of the project, and stub sorting hasn't been run in 10 months. We will need to identify some friendly bot operators to help with these projects. An outreach department (which includes the newsletter) needs to be formalized. Creating an invitation template for easy placement on userpages will also be part of that effort.
There are lots of best practices described at the WikiProject Council with ideas of how to make our project more responsive, welcoming, active, and effective. Task forces? Peer review? Other ideas welcome! |

Editor's Notes | |||
I just wanted to say that the response to my bold makeover of WPNJ has been gratifying, but nothing will improve the project as much as more activity, and that means more members. There are lots of things to do in this new setup, and everyone with an interest should be able to find a way to contribute to the collaboration. I want to thank you all for the patience, the appreciation, and the effort. - Jim Miller | |||

The
Maryland WikiProject has put together a great chart comparing the growth of several state WikiProjects, including WPNJ. Take a look at
the chart to see how the growth of WPNJ compares to some of our peer projects. Please remember to place the {{
WikiProject New Jersey}} tag on the talk pages of any New Jersey related articles you create or come across. You can also add the
new articles page to your watchlist. Some updates have been made to the NJ Portal, but much more needs to be done. If a few volunteers can put together Featured Article summmaries, we can automate rotating the portal content. The same can be done for DYK items. Please take a look and see if you can assist. |

The
Wikipedia 0.7 project team has chosen the New Jersey related articles that will be included in the next downloadable version of Wikipedia. You can
review the list of selected WPNJ articles, check the
articles tagged for cleanup, or
nominate additional articles for inclusion.
Selection is an automated process based on article assessments. To help avoid vandalism and POV concerns, specific versions of articles can be tagged for inclusion in the downloadable release. See the New Jersey section of the bot results to recommend a production version. The process ends on October 20, and then a bot will select an appropriate version if none has been recommended. |

Both
Jon Corzine and

Good Article status in the past month. No WikiProject New Jersey articles were promoted to
Featured article status.
Battle of Trenton was not listed as a Featured Article, and may need more editors to complete the remaining work to be promoted. Also, in an item that was missed last month,
Thomas Edison was delisted as a Good Article in July.
The WPNJ Assessment Drive is ongoing. Please help assess all of the articles about places in New Jersey. There are currently 91 articles that have not been assessed. |

Editor's Notes | |||
Fall has arrived, and with it will come a rush of new Wikipedians. Inviting new editors to join WPNJ is easy to do, and can help us improve our New Jersey articles. Keep an eye out for editors who work on NJ articles who can help the project. The Wikipedia Release version project is in its final stages for the next version. Take a look at the article lists, cleanup where you can, and nominate articles that should be included on the DVD version of WP. Lets make sure that those who end up with a downloaded copy of WP get solid articles about New Jersey. - Jim Miller | |||

Education Task Force - The conversion of the former WikiProject Education is New Jersey has been completed. New Jersey education-related articles are now supported by the
Education task force. The
project banner has been updated to fully support the task force with independent importance ratings. No More Comments - A proposal at the Village Pump has resulted in the deprecation of comments subpages. These were usually found at Talk:Article title/Comments and contained little more than assessment notes. These pages were not widely watched, and are often a hidden location for vandalism and BLP violations. WPNJ has 104 articles that used these pages. A complete list of them, along with their contents, can be viewed at Wikipedia:WikiProject New Jersey/Deprecation of comments. It is up to the members of WPNJ to decide what to do with this information. |

Municipality template compromise; School Districts (almost) complete | New WPNJ members | ||
Legislative templates in municipal articles - A rather lengthy
discussion ran from the end of August until the end of October regarding the use of our legislative district templates in articles about local municipalities. Many WPNJ members commented on the concept, and a
proposed compromise seems to have been reached. The templates will require some adjustments to fit the new wording, but should result in more directly relevant sections about County, State, and Federal representation in our articles on cities, towns, villages, townships, and boroughs. Hopefully, more dicussions like this can result is some kind of Manual of Style to bring greater standardization to all of these articles. School District articles now comprehensive - WPNJ Founder Alansohn recently reported that almost all of New Jersey's school districts now have articles - "I have created the article for the last missing (non-vocational) school district in the state." Congrats to Alansohn, who I am sure would love more members at the Education task force to help maintain these articles! |

New Statistics Table There has been an upgrade to the

We now have a better picture of the scope of the WikiProject and the pages that we cover. New York Times to charge for access The New York Times is an invaluable resource for properly referencing articles, but especially due to its extensive archives and coverage of New Jersey issues. The announcement that metered content will be started in 2011 has the potential to make article sourcing much more difficult. It also causes a need to update linked sources in articles before all of the NYT links go dead. Any link can be archived on demand by using WebCite.

New Leaders in NJ Government Over the past 2 weeks, new legislators have been sworn in, the legislature has new leadership, the 55th
Governor of New Jersey has been inaugurated, and we have our first

Why did you remove the category- municipalities of Spain? Although it is a part of Galicia, it is also part of Spain.-- Adam ( talk) 18:59, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for putting the new templates on the articles I started. It will be easier for me to find the articles to translate and put on the English wiki. I translate them from Portuguese.-- Adam ( talk) 19:13, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Estoy algo cansado asi que mejor te escribo en castellano. He estado trabajando y/o reescribiendo el articulo de History of Galicia y cree tambien un articulo llamado Celtic Gallaecia el cual abarca bastante de la cultura Castrexa, podrias hecharles un ojo y nos podemos poner de acuerdo para estar escribiendo los articulos historicos?
Saludos. Jfreyre 03:24, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Bueno dado el precedente, pues sigo en español,ya que me resulta infinitamente más sencillo. Bueno como te comenté con anterioridad me he dado a la tarea de empezar a escribir, traducir y subir imagenes referentes a la historia de galicia.
Referente a la Prehistoria no tenemos absolutamete nada, por lo cual resultaria conveniente traducir y ampliar el articulo:
http://gl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalitismo_en_Galicia
Por otro lado quizas serìa conveniente crear un articulo referente a la edad de bronce en galicia para que nuestra serie de articulos posean continuidad historica.
Si bien en este momento tenemos algunos articulos referentes al tema seria conveniente unir los articulos de Castro y Cultura Castrexa, al igual que expandirlos usando como base el articulo de Hillforts y su contraparte en la galipedia:
http://gl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castro_%28poboado%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillfort
Por otro lado tenemos nuevamente el articulo Celltic Gallaecia el cual deberia surgir de nexo para todos los subitems que vayamos generando alrededor del tema.
He subido unos mapas, aunque hay que ampliar las incursiones romanas en galicia antes de que formase parte de hispania. ie: la incursion de julio cesar etc.
Hay otros puntos que deberiamos cubrir pero con eso tenems suficiente por ahora
Saludos y que pases un muy feliz año!!! Jfreyre 15:21, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi mine friend, I've been busy so i'm not been working on the galician project, but I think we have to do something with the Kingdom of Galicia Article and the suevi article. Jfreyre
Quizas tambien seria conveniente hablar un poco de la incidencia que tuvo que la nobleza gallega apoyara al bando perdedor en la sucesion española y las consecuencias que tuvo para la region, al igual que tratr de ver si colocamos algo de la edad moderna que la tenemos competamente vacia.
bueno me depsido por ahora saludos. Jfreyre

Your removal (26 Jan) of non-existant image links completed the previous anon vandalism of 28 min earlier - Leonard G. 03:21, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
What was really strange to me was that not only did the deletion "stick" until I noticed it (I was looking for the red bridge image), the fifteen intermediate edits ultimately changed only a few words in two paragraphs! There is an easy way to revert quickly, by the way. Need info? Leonard G. 01:55, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
How to revert a page:
First, check the history. You can view complete pages by clicking on the date. (Note that the page and the talk page have separate histories). To view a complete page at a point in time click on the date. To detect what was changed, select the left side radiobuttons and then use the button Compare selected versions.
Case 1: Revert a vandalized page. Select valid version's date. When the page comes up, select edit this page at the top. You will see a warning that you are editing an out-of-date version. Use the Save page button at the bottom. OK through any additional out of date warnings to save this original version.
Case 2: Revert to an earlier version which was edited legitimately after the vandalism. Apply Case 1, then compare the immediately preceding version with the one you just restored. This will show the paragraphs to be restored. Open both the new and the preceding versions for edit and copy and paste the changed paragraphs.
Beware: Someone with intent to delete paragraphs with intent to obscure facts of the article may bury a deletion within a series of legitimate edits - I saw this in Oil refinery, with six or seven edits covering the anon deletion of an entire paragraph (environmental concerns) that was not favorable to the industry - probably some marketing VP at an oil company.
You may want to put on your watchlist articles that you are familiar with. Also, checking the edit "diff" for the last edit is not enough as it may appear OK, with vandalism preceding. Always use the history. Also note that a vandal can register and vandalize with other than an IP address, so it is a good idea to check.
I stopped chasing vandals in real time and am reducing my watchlist. Now, I just cycle through specific articles and checking between my previous edit and the current state. Mark the article with some trivial edit for your next time through. So I might not review an article for a long while but keep up with changes.
Best wishes, Leonard.

Hi,
Thanks for starting the Oratory page; I've been meening to get around to it for a while. Oratory is actually not an Oratorian school, though based on some old NY Times ads it may have been somehow connected around 1913 or so (Steve Fava and I have done a fair amount of research into the history of Oratory). Liamdaly620 15:50, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I graduated from Oratory in '01... which was long enough ago that when I go back to visit I don't know half the teachers anymore, and a lot of the good ones are gone Liamdaly620 18:23, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for finding that error in my artice. The "186" refers to the year 1896, though I accidentaly left out the "9". Thank you agains for finding thast error, and if you find any error with any of my other edits, you can leave a message on my talk page. If you need any other atricles to be edited, or you would like me to write a new article, again just leave me a message. Thanks, Thetruthbelow 16:19, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
I notice you uploaded the image Image:PonteBurgoPontevedra.jpg with the {{ web-screenshot}} fair use image tag. However, it appears that this tag is totally unrelated to the content of the image, and as a result it may qualify for speedy deletion. Image:PonteBurgoPontevedra.jpg has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.
If you can find a valid tag that expresses why Image:PonteBurgoPontevedra.jpg can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the {{ web-screenshot}} tag that you have placed on it with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{ Non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can reupload it but please ensure you place the correct tag on it. However, you must not remove the speedy deletion notice. Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia. -- cohesion 05:14, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I can't speak for Panzer Dragoon or Zwei (although my understanding is that they had no save system) but Saga definitely has a save system, although I don't offhand know how many blocks it takes up and it's too late now to fire up the Saturn and take a look. As for Orta I have no idea at all; I don't like that at all, and don't consider it canon. I'll find out for you how many blocks PDS needs in the morning. ThomasWinwood( t c) 00:47, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
I think you might have jumped the gun with the semiprotect, I can't see any vandalism in the recent history. Sure, there have been a couple of superfluous and inaccurate postings but not vandalism. There have even been a couple of useful anon postings. I'm all for using page protection, I applied it to Frederico Chaves Guedes a few days ago, but that really was for a blizzard of vandalism and total nonsense. Mitch probably doesn't need to be protected for longer than a couple of days, do you agree? Nice one, Deizio talk 12:16, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

The Reboot of
Wikiproject New Jersey has certainly stirred up some new activity at the project. Discussion on several improvements and new initiatives have been going on at the
talk page. There has been an involved
discussion regarding our 91
unassessed articles, especially those on municipalities. The current goal is to review and assess all 566 New Jersey muncipality articles by September 30. A suggestion has been made to intiate Wikipedia Takes New Jersey to begin clearing the large backlog of articles needing photos. Let's all grab our cameras and head out into the vast wilds of the Garden State. Town Halls, High Schools, Historic Places - every article deserves a picture. |

Battle of Trenton was recently proposed as a Featured Article candidate. It was not promoted, but has now been nominated for A-Class review through the Military History WikiProject.

Reboot progress report | Help Wanted | ||
The redesign has been well received. There are still some things left to do. This newsletter was one big check mark off the list. Hopefully this can be continued on a regular basis. There are literally thousands of articles in
Category:New Jersey that have not been tagged as part of the project, and stub sorting hasn't been run in 10 months. We will need to identify some friendly bot operators to help with these projects. An outreach department (which includes the newsletter) needs to be formalized. Creating an invitation template for easy placement on userpages will also be part of that effort.
There are lots of best practices described at the WikiProject Council with ideas of how to make our project more responsive, welcoming, active, and effective. Task forces? Peer review? Other ideas welcome! |

Editor's Notes | |||
I just wanted to say that the response to my bold makeover of WPNJ has been gratifying, but nothing will improve the project as much as more activity, and that means more members. There are lots of things to do in this new setup, and everyone with an interest should be able to find a way to contribute to the collaboration. I want to thank you all for the patience, the appreciation, and the effort. - Jim Miller | |||

The
Maryland WikiProject has put together a great chart comparing the growth of several state WikiProjects, including WPNJ. Take a look at
the chart to see how the growth of WPNJ compares to some of our peer projects. Please remember to place the {{
WikiProject New Jersey}} tag on the talk pages of any New Jersey related articles you create or come across. You can also add the
new articles page to your watchlist. Some updates have been made to the NJ Portal, but much more needs to be done. If a few volunteers can put together Featured Article summmaries, we can automate rotating the portal content. The same can be done for DYK items. Please take a look and see if you can assist. |

Wikipedia Release version 0.7 | New WPNJ members | ||
The
Wikipedia 0.7 project team has chosen the New Jersey related articles that will be included in the next downloadable version of Wikipedia. You can
review the list of selected WPNJ articles, check the
articles tagged for cleanup, or
nominate additional articles for inclusion.
Selection is an automated process based on article assessments. To help avoid vandalism and POV concerns, specific versions of articles can be tagged for inclusion in the downloadable release. See the New Jersey section of the bot results to recommend a production version. The process ends on October 20, and then a bot will select an appropriate version if none has been recommended. |

Good Article status in the past month. No WikiProject New Jersey articles were promoted to
Featured article status.
Battle of Trenton was not listed as a Featured Article, and may need more editors to complete the remaining work to be promoted. Also, in an item that was missed last month,
Thomas Edison was delisted as a Good Article in July.
The WPNJ Assessment Drive is ongoing. Please help assess all of the articles about places in New Jersey. There are currently 91 articles that have not been assessed. |

Editor's Notes | |||
Fall has arrived, and with it will come a rush of new Wikipedians. Inviting new editors to join WPNJ is easy to do, and can help us improve our New Jersey articles. Keep an eye out for editors who work on NJ articles who can help the project. The Wikipedia Release version project is in its final stages for the next version. Take a look at the article lists, cleanup where you can, and nominate articles that should be included on the DVD version of WP. Lets make sure that those who end up with a downloaded copy of WP get solid articles about New Jersey. - Jim Miller | |||

Education Task Force - The conversion of the former WikiProject Education is New Jersey has been completed. New Jersey education-related articles are now supported by the
Education task force. The
project banner has been updated to fully support the task force with independent importance ratings. No More Comments - A proposal at the Village Pump has resulted in the deprecation of comments subpages. These were usually found at Talk:Article title/Comments and contained little more than assessment notes. These pages were not widely watched, and are often a hidden location for vandalism and BLP violations. WPNJ has 104 articles that used these pages. A complete list of them, along with their contents, can be viewed at Wikipedia:WikiProject New Jersey/Deprecation of comments. It is up to the members of WPNJ to decide what to do with this information. |

Municipality template compromise; School Districts (almost) complete | New WPNJ members | ||
Legislative templates in municipal articles - A rather lengthy
discussion ran from the end of August until the end of October regarding the use of our legislative district templates in articles about local municipalities. Many WPNJ members commented on the concept, and a
proposed compromise seems to have been reached. The templates will require some adjustments to fit the new wording, but should result in more directly relevant sections about County, State, and Federal representation in our articles on cities, towns, villages, townships, and boroughs. Hopefully, more dicussions like this can result is some kind of Manual of Style to bring greater standardization to all of these articles. School District articles now comprehensive - WPNJ Founder Alansohn recently reported that almost all of New Jersey's school districts now have articles - "I have created the article for the last missing (non-vocational) school district in the state." Congrats to Alansohn, who I am sure would love more members at the Education task force to help maintain these articles! |

Editor's news. OK, so I am going to try this again. It's been a little over a year since our last edition, and activity at the project was a bit slow during that time. Things have picked up again over the last few months, so once more into the breech I go. I will try to produce this newsletter on a regular basis (bi-monthly?) to see if we can get some more activity going at WPNJ. Help is always appreciated, and there is plenty to do. - Jim Miller See me | Touch me | |||

New Statistics Table There has been an upgrade to the
WP 1.0 bot that updates our project's
summary table. The new table lists all page classes including Portal-class, Redirect-class, and Disambig-class. We now have a better picture of the scope of the WikiProject and the pages that we cover. New York Times to charge for access The New York Times is an invaluable resource for properly referencing articles, but especially due to its extensive archives and coverage of New Jersey issues. The announcement that metered content will be started in 2011 has the potential to make article sourcing much more difficult. It also causes a need to update linked sources in articles before all of the NYT links go dead. Any link can be archived on demand by using WebCite. We can help avoid dead links by archiving any article sources from the NYT. |
The following articles may be in need of attention:

All BLP, All the Time | New WPNJ members | ||
BLP Issue Boils Over There are discussions all over the 'pedia about deleting close to 50,000 unreferenced Biographies of Living People. We won't get into a rehash here, but let's just look at what we can do. There is a new item on the
project task list for sourcing BLPs. All articles that are in both
Category:People from New Jersey and
Category:All unreferenced BLPs are now available on
this work list. These articles need to be sourced,
PRODded, or sent to
AfD. An ounce of prevention Unreferenced BLPs are one of the catgories regularly listed in the WPNJ Cleanup listing. New articles are also a prime location to find articles that do not yet have references. You can keep an eye on the New Articles list to help prevent the workload from getting any larger. Can we do more? There are bots that will automatically add the WPNJ Project Banner to all articles in our designated categories if we have consensus to request it. Join the discussion here. |

In NJ, politics means article updates | Help Wanted | ||
New Leaders in NJ Government Over the past 2 weeks, new legislators have been sworn in, the legislature has new leadership, the 55th
Governor of New Jersey has been inaugurated, and we have our first
Lt. Governor. All new members of the Legislature have at least stub articles, and many of the templates have been updated. Updating templates Many New Jersey articles utilize stadardized templates to convey information. With elections happening as often as they do in this state, January is always a good time to review these templates and update them with new information. Does your town or county have new elected officials? It's maintainance time on many of our articles on municipalities and counties as well. |

Editor's Notes | |||
Editor's news Must have been some winter holiday season in New Jersey, because the project talk page has been unusually quiet. I thought with all that snow, many of us would be inside and doing things here at WP. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and are enjoying a healthy and happy 2010!! - Jim Miller See me | Touch me | |||

Hi! I was born in New Jersey as well, and I am of Galician ancestry! so do you know the language or not at all? AJona1992 ( talk) 17:55, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
Someone just created Isaac Díaz Pardo, and I noticed that it's also on the Galician Wikipedia. Would you possibly be able to assist in the translation?— Yutsi Talk/ Contributions ( 偉特 ) 19:14, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Economy of Galicia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Basque Country ( 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.
