Congressional delegations
I love that you're working on the Congressional Delegations articles. We need every ounce of help on them!!!
However, the extra vertical white space (<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>, etc.) looks terrible on my screen. :(. I'd used {{ TOCright}} on some of the delegations because it would line up on the right of the Senate list. Clearly, however, that looked terrible to you. I don't know how to make it look good for everybody because I'm not that talented a Wikipedian.
By the way, join the Project: Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Congress! — Markles 21:39, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the invite, Mark. Happy to be aboard!
As for the aesthetics, I'm sure we can figure out a format that looks good for everyone. Perhaps our initial differences are due to different browsers or screen resolutions (I'm using Firefox 1.5 on Windows @1024x768)? I'll take another look when I get back to my home computer to see how things look there in Safari. Ross 21:57, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
- After reading extensively in the Wiki MoS (Manual of Style) and looking over several discussions (e.g.
Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style--Archive_17, I think we should play with a couple of different options, test them across our host of State pages, and come to a (small) consensus on what looks best. Not only should our pages look good, but of course we should try to be compliant with convention as well. In regards to "TOCright", I feel like it works well when the TOC is very long, but not so well when it is short, because it looks out of place way over there straddling the headline. There are more options when it comes to graphics and tables, but ToCs are just inherently more restrictive under Wiki markup.
- Since our goal here is uniformity, we'll just have to pick a style that looks good for 'most' of the articles (and doesn't really harm the rest), and go with it
- A more extreme solution would be to turn the default TOC off and make up a new template in tabular form that's easier to control
- Another effort-intensive solution would be to add a graphic box to every page to take up some of the whitescpace, but that seems like adding just for the sake of adding
- How does all of this sound to you, Mark? -- Ross (ElCharismo) 01:51, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- I'm a big fan of uniformity. Yeah, let's get some consensus together. We can work it out via the Wikiproject. Problem is, some of the states' delegations are a bit… unique. And nicely so. For example, I've done a lot of work recently on U.S. Congressional Delegations from Massachusetts. I've broken the house section up by each decade because redistricting changed the size of the delegation. So I've had a little back-and-forth discussions with User:Golbez, see User_talk:markles#US Congressional tables. Just something to think about.— Markles 02:59, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- After even more tweaking, I've come to realize that the element that was bothering me was the headline (literally, the line separating the intro section from the first topical section (e.g. United States Senate) ) cutting through the table of contents. For short ToCs, this does not happen, so a righthand alignment is not much of an issue. But this does occur with the really long ToCs on States like Massachusetts.
- If we assume that the first principal issue here for both aesthetics and convention is controlling white space, and
- The second principal issue is uniformity, then
- Maybe a simple change in convention could solve both problems...
- The ToC normally resides in the intro section. What if we move it to float right from the very bottom of the intro section for our State Delegation pages? Two birds with one stone? "TOCright" here? The vast majority of wasted white space arises in the intro section, and there is plenty of available real estate alongside the columnar Senate listings. Also, a ToC placed down here does nothing to the page's layout when hidden by a user (and the little box is bisected nicely by the headline). I think this might look good for all of our pages. The ToC this way resides in a place that takes advantage of the space of both sections. Take a look at Massachusetts(long): U.S._Congressional_Delegations_from_Massachusetts and New York(short): U.S._Congressional_Delegations_from_New_York. After this I'll be happy to move the discussion over to the group page. -- Ross (ElCharismo) 03:13, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

COTW
How can we promote the COTW?— Markles 12:01, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Vacation
Hey, I'm going to be away from my computer for 10 days (vacation). Can you get Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Congress/COTW back on its feet while I'm gone? Be bold. Maybe make it a fortnight or monthly thing. Or change number from 3 to 1. Mess around with the templates. Maybe make a "This article has been nominated as a congressional cotw" template. Again, Be Bold. I might be able to check in once or twice next week sometime. — Markles 12:00, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
- Though I have somewhat of a busy week approaching, I'll be happy to see what I can do to get the ball rolling again, and to invigorate the pulse of the project. Have a great vacation, and many happy returns! ~ Ross (ElCharismo) 15:06, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I was interested in nominating an article, but I was unsure if anyone else was still interested in the overall project so I thought I would target a few specific people and see. Are you still interested in improving articles if I can drum up some more support? TonyJoe 20:39, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'm definitely still interested in the project. My free time has been curtailed a bit in recent weeks, but not for lack of trying. I'm perfectly willing to lend a hand. More support would definitely make such efforts easier for all of us. Kudos for soliciting interest, and please let me know what you discover/decide. ~ Ross (ElCharismo) 20:50, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- There are now four of us. That should be enough to get us started right? Hopefully some more of the people I've written will respond and our efforts will attract more people.
TonyJoe 23:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Four will do it for now. I'm on board, and I'll contribute as best I can with the oft-limited free time at my disposal. many happy returns! ~ Ross (ElCharismo) 16:20, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
The current WP:MAC collaboration is Apple II family. Please devote some time to improve this article to featured status. — Wackymacs 14:00, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of United States Representatives from Minnesota. It is about to get deleted (any day now) and I think that would be a shame. — Markles 21:02, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a member of WikiProject Montana. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Montana State University - Bozeman, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.
Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).
I know Montana is a big state, but if you happen to live near Bozeman and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from Bozeman who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.-- Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation ( talk) 21:33, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

- I'm definitely still interested in the project. My free time has been curtailed a bit in recent weeks, but not for lack of trying. I'm perfectly willing to lend a hand. More support would definitely make such efforts easier for all of us. Kudos for soliciting interest, and please let me know what you discover/decide. ~ Ross (ElCharismo) 20:50, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- There are now four of us. That should be enough to get us started right? Hopefully some more of the people I've written will respond and our efforts will attract more people.
TonyJoe 23:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Four will do it for now. I'm on board, and I'll contribute as best I can with the oft-limited free time at my disposal. many happy returns! ~ Ross (ElCharismo) 16:20, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
The current WP:MAC collaboration is Apple II family. Please devote some time to improve this article to featured status. — Wackymacs 14:00, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of United States Representatives from Minnesota. It is about to get deleted (any day now) and I think that would be a shame. — Markles 21:02, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
WP:CVU status
The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{ inactive}} and/or {{ historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

Thanks for uploading
Image:Adrian Conrad.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:02, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a member of WikiProject Montana. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Montana State University - Bozeman, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.
Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).
I know Montana is a big state, but if you happen to live near Bozeman and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from Bozeman who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.-- Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation ( talk) 21:33, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! Sarah ( talk) 20:00, 16 April 2012 (UTC) |
