This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Griffin Seward, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.state.de.us/facts/history/seward.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 15:54, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Just wanted to say thanks, from one Delawarean to another, for the reclassification of DE in the stub-sorting. It was something I would have loved to have undertaken but never got around to, so I was pleased to see it had been done; see my related rant on my userpage. -- Littledrummrboy 16:28, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
I am happy to work together to achieve a common template, but I have to say that working together requires a bit more effort, thought and courtesy than arbitrarily making changes to the patient work of several years and impacting the look and feel of hundreds of articles. Frankly, I can see considerable merit in some of the points you make, and I did not know of the other templates you lead me to...and like them. Having this one consistent with them is OK with me, if some other objectives are met that you may not have considered. I welcome your ideas and expertise into a real discussion and partnership, but I fear that lack of perspective on how these templates may be used might get in the way of good decisions.
I might also suggest that we restrain our immediate impulse to be too judgmental. One person's "arbitrary, bulky, non-standard, and unattractive" may be another's "clear, simple and precise." These things are all relative, and the creation of this template was an attempt to address what I considered to be exactly those kinds of problems with a previous design of the "standard" Delaware template.
This design of yours keeps changing, but right now my main concern is missing the easy access to lists of particular officials, like Senators, Governors, etc. I like having only one flag, and included the other only to properly center the title. I have s feeling you have some concept in mind with this series of templates that I as yet do not understand, and probably would like if I did. How about an explanation? I will comment further later too, with more time. stilltim 12:44, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
- Can you help me understand how to make the "standard" template you implemented default to the "hide" position when an article is opened, rather than the "view"? I notice some do and some don't and cannot figure the reason. stilltim 04:08, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

I am charged with over linking and underlinking. I could care less which level to go, but I want a consistent way. Based on the criticism received, the procedure I am following is linking nearly everything on the Infobox, if not there on an "Almanac" and then in the body of the text. I err on the side of none linking and certainly not duplicating the link. If someone relinks an unlink item, I leave it, otherwise I back it out. I hope that explains. stilltim ( talk) 13:16, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

US Banknote Contest |
|
|---|---|---|
| November-December 2019 | ||
|
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here | ||
