Jim, thanks for weighing in on the CU/Bank debate. Your comments were right on, and unlike some, they were civil. Let me know if you need any help on the NCUSIF page. Cheers! Dubc0724 18:17, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi! Thanks for voting for the Knights of Columbus on the Catholic Collaboration page! I know that it is not the CCW article for a few weeks, but right now it is up for FAC so if you could see your way over there early that would be great. Right now the only person holding out on supporting it has a complaint about the prose, so copyediting would be particularly helpful. Thanks again! -- Briancua 14:06, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
I can't find anyone in the online database at www.apo.org with the last name of Doria. I also looked through the "D"s. for Omicron Sigma and even searched for those at Omicron Sigma with the first name Joseph.
Having said that, the database while fairly complete for recent times, lacks a large number of individuals once you get farther back. (Frank Reed and Herbert G. Horton for example. :) I do see some individuals from the 1960s at Omicron Sigma though.
Where did you find out he was a brother? Naraht 22:04, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanx for the info, I have no problem with leaving him there and if I should include him in the list of Alumni I'm doing bios on in the fall on the mailing lists, I'll note to Judy Mitchell that she should check downstairs in the actual card file... Naraht 01:27, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Hiya, I was just looking though recent changes and came across this edit to your user page so I thought I'd share a tip that you may find usefull. If you changed the code to look like the following:
{{Userboxbottom}} <br clear="both" />
it will achieve the effect your after. It's pretty much a way of telling the browser "I want the next line to be on it's own and DON'T want it shared with anything above it". An alternative that gets the same results is <br clear="all" />. I use this on my user page to declutter sections - especially with the amount of templates that would overlap otherwise - and to organise my userboxes at the bottom. It's merely a cosmetical thing in most cases, but I think you'll find it useful. Anyway, keep up the good work and happy editing, TheJC Talk Contributions 03:04, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 21:05, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
You showed support for the

To the Members of the WikiProject Catholicism
I have proposed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Catholicism an infobox for Catholic Dioceses. I have not gotten any feedback on this proposal, so I’m culling feedback, advice, corrections, etc. for this. If you have the time, would you check out User:SkierRMH/Diocese_Infobox and give me some feedback! Thanks much!!
Thank for cleaning up the Whelan page so quickly after I noted its problems. Awesome job. David in DC ( talk) 15:11, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello Jim Miller, you have recently provided a third opinion on the homeschooling talk page. I requested it to include something about the deletion of the financial obligations section. There also have been follow up questions. Can you look into this or should an extra third opinion be requested? Species8473 ( talk) 14:37, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Jim, great work on the article. I've expanded the lead a little and renominated it for GA status. Hopefully the article will pass the nomination this time round. -- ZeWrestler Talk 14:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
I'm glad to see the article was finally promoted. It was great collaborating with you on it. Sorry I went AWOL towards the end, real life kicked in again. Looking forward to working on something else with you in the future. -- ZeWrestler Talk 03:03, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Chris, I saw you changed the assessment for Allentown, New Jersey to C class. I wanted to go through and assess all the articles about towns that were in the backlog of NJ unassessed articles. I rated a large number of articles as B, but I agree with your change, and was hoping to come up with something consistant. Do you think all the automated articles should be C class if they have not been further improved? I also have been rating municipalities as Mid importance, and unicorporated areas as Low.
We could have this discussion on the project talk page, but that has been pretty dead recently. Jim Miller ( talk) 13:58, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Great that you added the reference about bankers' agenda in regards to CUs on the Credit union page. Nice job with that. - Mmpartee ( talk) 12:31, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
I was thinking about how best to include the poem reference, so I decided to look at the citation for the poem's inclusion a bit closer. You might want to do so as well, since it appears that anyone can sign up for a TV.com account (I signed up as user BlatantExample in less than three minutes); I almost added a mostly spitballed reference comparing Donna to the Virgin Mary and the Doctor's severed hand being in reality the invisible hand that Adam Smith refers to in The Wealth of Nations. I only didn't because I don't need to vandalize another website to point out its weaknesses here. With respect to U-Mos, we haven't the foggiest as to who added the reference, but I am willing to lay pretty good odds that it wasn't the good folk at BBC - if it had, it would have been a part of the press release, or deserving of a mention in Doctor Who Confidential. As the provenance of the source is debatable, neither it nor the attendant statements can be included. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 21:36, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Finding information about small companies from that era is difficult. The "modern" electronic databases often provide little help. In some cases it is possible to find one or two newspaper or magazine articles. Sometimes obscure sources may provide insight (such as the Caltech interview of Victor Wouk [1] that has some history about other battery companies during that period) or an enthusiast's page, such about the Sonotone Company [2]. I don't have information about Apollo Energy Systems. The Electrosport had a printed sales brochures and Motor Trend did an article about the car, but finding anything about the Electric Fuel Propulsion Corporation itself has not been fruitful so far. Nevertheless, I will contribute to the Apollo Energy article whenever I run across something their origins! — CZmarlin ( talk) 05:23, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
hello. since the 3o has been removed due to the RfC (on article Tucker Max), would you mind providing a comment? The reason I ask is because the RfC actually links to the wrong discussion, which could create confusion. i attempted to resolve the bad RfC link problem, but couldn't, and so that is why I created the 3o instead. now that the 3o is gone, i am worried that we will not get enough outside opinions. so would you mind taking a minute and commenting on RfC2? thanks Theserialcomma ( talk) 23:01, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
I read the terms and while I understand the potential of conflict of interest which you noted, JCTransit.com is a free website which fills a large gap of missing public transportation info for jersey city residents. The site is a free directory which offers unique info and tools to aide residents in navigating jersey city's fragmented transit system. I think that if you were to check out the site you would instantly see the value it offers to jersey city residents and it would validate its inclusion in the jersey city wiki links section. thanks. -Ken Burke —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kjburke1 ( talk • contribs) 22:35, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

I have been working on cleaning up the WP:NJ pages a bit. I added a section to the templates page to include the Eduction by County templates you made.

I saw your assessment of Wyckoff, New Jersey, and "start" seems a tad low. What guidelines are you using as part of these assessments.

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 96
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 | |||

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. |

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 96 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 | |||

Hi, JimMillerJr, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been tagged for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you. And once again - Welcome! Ikip ( talk) 10:55, 24 August 2009 (UTC) |
Hi, Jim, User:Nightscream and I had a disagreement over certain parts of NJ municipality articles; because the discussion could potentially affect hundreds of articles, we decided to bring the discussion to WikiProject New Jersey.

Djflem, I removed the incorrect description of the Hackensack River being a border of Hudson County because according to the article on the river, it ends between Jersey City and Kearny. The Hackensack never enters Essex County before joining the Newark Bay, and cannot be a border of Hudson County. You reverted my sourced change, and I was wondering if you had another source that contradicts my change. Jim Miller See me | Touch me 19:17, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
As the article about it says, the border between Secaucus in Hudson County and the Bergen County Meadowlands towns is the Hackensack River. It really is! Reference is cited. This is easy to check. Good luck! Djflem ( talk) 19:40, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
Hey Jim,
I just talked to some fine CU folks in San Antonio. They'd like to get an article about their CU onto wikipedia, but have made some missteps, and now have their entire CU's IP address blocked from editing. Which is way out of line from my POV. It's not like they are trying to spam wikipedia or be malicious, they are making honest mistakes in their attempts. I've given them some recommendations how to get out of jail, but I don't know who I could go to for unblocking their CU's IP. Do you know any CU-friendly admins who could do something about that?

Shame that the article didn't get promoted during the FAC. However, take a look at the changes that were made to the article because of its nomination. I think this article really benefited from being nominated as its quality improved. There wasn't this much activity surrounding the article since it was brought up to good article status last year. Good working with you again. -- ZeWrestler Talk 03:11, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
I noticed your well-documented and well-implemented addition of New Jersey Register of Historic Places information to Clark Thread Company Historic District article. Nicely done and footnoted. I am not sure it adds much in this case though, because the NRHP listing supercedes the NJ listing, but it is okay by me.
The NJ source document for Hudson County that you provide does provide other info. Scrolling through it, i find most items are where there is both a NJ listing (SR = state register) and a NRHP listing (NR), or where there is a "SHPO opinion" which I assume means recommend not listing. However there may be places where a place is NJ-listed but not NRHP-listed. Loew's Theatre on page 8 (apparently in Jersey City?) is one. There was apparently an owner objection on that one. I assume New Jersey is the same as New York State, in this: that a historic place can be nominated by anyone, and the State may recognize it on its register, but if the owner objects it will not be NRHP-listed.
Anyhow, if you would like to do articles on the ones that are only New Jersey-listed, I would be glad to help. These would not fall under WikiProject NRHP but would fall under worldwide WikiProject Historic sites ( wp:HSITES), which has a general historic sites infobox available similar to the NRHP infobox. Let me know if interested. doncram ( talk) 02:55, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi, JimMillerJr. As you may remember, way back in August I started a thread at WikiProject New Jersey to discuss the "Federal, state, and county representation" subsections in New Jersey municipality articles, as User:Nightscream and I had a substantial disagreement on that subject. Approximately two months later, we've hammered out a compromise that we mostly agree upon, and presently I am seeing if there is a consensus for this compromise.

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 | |||

Jim, thanks for weighing in on the CU/Bank debate. Your comments were right on, and unlike some, they were civil. Let me know if you need any help on the NCUSIF page. Cheers! Dubc0724 18:17, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi! Thanks for voting for the Knights of Columbus on the Catholic Collaboration page! I know that it is not the CCW article for a few weeks, but right now it is up for FAC so if you could see your way over there early that would be great. Right now the only person holding out on supporting it has a complaint about the prose, so copyediting would be particularly helpful. Thanks again! -- Briancua 14:06, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
I can't find anyone in the online database at www.apo.org with the last name of Doria. I also looked through the "D"s. for Omicron Sigma and even searched for those at Omicron Sigma with the first name Joseph.
Having said that, the database while fairly complete for recent times, lacks a large number of individuals once you get farther back. (Frank Reed and Herbert G. Horton for example. :) I do see some individuals from the 1960s at Omicron Sigma though.
Where did you find out he was a brother? Naraht 22:04, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Hiya, I was just looking though recent changes and came across this edit to your user page so I thought I'd share a tip that you may find usefull. If you changed the code to look like the following:
{{Userboxbottom}} <br clear="both" />
it will achieve the effect your after. It's pretty much a way of telling the browser "I want the next line to be on it's own and DON'T want it shared with anything above it". An alternative that gets the same results is <br clear="all" />. I use this on my user page to declutter sections - especially with the amount of templates that would overlap otherwise - and to organise my userboxes at the bottom. It's merely a cosmetical thing in most cases, but I think you'll find it useful. Anyway, keep up the good work and happy editing, TheJC Talk Contributions 03:04, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 21:05, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

To the Members of the WikiProject Catholicism
I have proposed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Catholicism an infobox for Catholic Dioceses. I have not gotten any feedback on this proposal, so I’m culling feedback, advice, corrections, etc. for this.

Hello Jim Miller, you have recently provided a third opinion on the homeschooling talk page. I requested it to include something about the deletion of the financial obligations section.

Chris, I saw you changed the assessment for Allentown, New Jersey to C class. I wanted to go through and assess all the articles about towns that were in the backlog of NJ unassessed articles. I rated a large number of articles as B, but I agree with your change, and was hoping to come up with something consistant. Do you think all the automated articles should be C class if they have not been further improved? I also have been rating municipalities as Mid importance, and unicorporated areas as Low.
We could have this discussion on the project talk page, but that has been pretty dead recently. Jim Miller ( talk) 13:58, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Great that you added the reference about bankers' agenda in regards to CUs on the Credit union page. Nice job with that. - Mmpartee ( talk) 12:31, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
I was thinking about how best to include the poem reference, so I decided to look at the citation for the poem's inclusion a bit closer. You might want to do so as well, since it appears that anyone can sign up for a TV.com account (I signed up as user BlatantExample in less than three minutes); I almost added a mostly spitballed reference comparing Donna to the Virgin Mary and the Doctor's severed hand being in reality the invisible hand that Adam Smith refers to in The Wealth of Nations. I only didn't because I don't need to vandalize another website to point out its weaknesses here. With respect to U-Mos, we haven't the foggiest as to who added the reference, but I am willing to lay pretty good odds that it wasn't the good folk at BBC - if it had, it would have been a part of the press release, or deserving of a mention in Doctor Who Confidential. As the provenance of the source is debatable, neither it nor the attendant statements can be included. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 21:36, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Finding information about small companies from that era is difficult. The "modern" electronic databases often provide little help. In some cases it is possible to find one or two newspaper or magazine articles. Sometimes obscure sources may provide insight (such as the Caltech interview of Victor Wouk [1] that has some history about other battery companies during that period) or an enthusiast's page, such about the Sonotone Company [2]. I don't have information about Apollo Energy Systems. The Electrosport had a printed sales brochures and Motor Trend did an article about the car, but finding anything about the Electric Fuel Propulsion Corporation itself has not been fruitful so far. Nevertheless, I will contribute to the Apollo Energy article whenever I run across something their origins! — CZmarlin ( talk) 05:23, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
hello. since the 3o has been removed due to the RfC (on article Tucker Max), would you mind providing a comment? The reason I ask is because the RfC actually links to the wrong discussion, which could create confusion. i attempted to resolve the bad RfC link problem, but couldn't, and so that is why I created the 3o instead. now that the 3o is gone, i am worried that we will not get enough outside opinions. so would you mind taking a minute and commenting on RfC2? thanks Theserialcomma ( talk) 23:01, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
I read the terms and while I understand the potential of conflict of interest which you noted, JCTransit.com is a free website which fills a large gap of missing public transportation info for jersey city residents. The site is a free directory which offers unique info and tools to aide residents in navigating jersey city's fragmented transit system. I think that if you were to check out the site you would instantly see the value it offers to jersey city residents and it would validate its inclusion in the jersey city wiki links section. thanks. -Ken Burke —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kjburke1 ( talk • contribs) 22:35, 25 July 2008 (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 96
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. |

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 | |||

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.

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 | |||

Hi, JimMillerJr, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been tagged for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you. And once again - Welcome! Ikip ( talk) 10:55, 24 August 2009 (UTC) |
Hi, Jim, User:Nightscream and I had a disagreement over certain parts of NJ municipality articles; because the discussion could potentially affect hundreds of articles, we decided to bring the discussion to WikiProject New Jersey.

Djflem, I removed the incorrect description of the Hackensack River being a border of Hudson County because according to the article on the river, it ends between Jersey City and Kearny. The Hackensack never enters Essex County before joining the Newark Bay, and cannot be a border of Hudson County. You reverted my sourced change, and I was wondering if you had another source that contradicts my change. Jim Miller See me | Touch me 19:17, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
As the article about it says, the border between Secaucus in Hudson County and the Bergen County Meadowlands towns is the Hackensack River. It really is! Reference is cited. This is easy to check. Good luck! Djflem ( talk) 19:40, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
Hey Jim,
I just talked to some fine CU folks in San Antonio. They'd like to get an article about their CU onto wikipedia, but have made some missteps, and now have their entire CU's IP address blocked from editing. Which is way out of line from my POV. It's not like they are trying to spam wikipedia or be malicious, they are making honest mistakes in their attempts. I've given them some recommendations how to get out of jail, but I don't know who I could go to for unblocking their CU's IP. Do you know any CU-friendly admins who could do something about that?

I'm not sure how it's live because I wasn't the one that moved it from my sandbox, but I was planning to do it today anyway. Any idea as to how that would have happened? My plan now is to leave the page alone and see what, if anything, is said about it. Thank you again for your assistance. I'm planning to create an another page on a completely different subject in the near future. I'll let you know when I make it live.

Good to hear from you. I've been thinking about making the nomination for the government shutdown article for a while now myself, but given my time has been more sparse lately, I wanted to get someone else to work with, to help make sure the nomination moves along. I'll do what I can to help out. Thanks for keeping me in the loop. -- ZeWrestler Talk 03:50, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
Shame that the article didn't get promoted during the FAC. However, take a look at the changes that were made to the article because of its nomination. I think this article really benefited from being nominated as its quality improved. There wasn't this much activity surrounding the article since it was brought up to good article status last year. Good working with you again. -- ZeWrestler Talk 03:11, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
I noticed your well-documented and well-implemented addition of New Jersey Register of Historic Places information to Clark Thread Company Historic District article. Nicely done and footnoted. I am not sure it adds much in this case though, because the NRHP listing supercedes the NJ listing, but it is okay by me.
The NJ source document for Hudson County that you provide does provide other info. Scrolling through it, i find most items are where there is both a NJ listing (SR = state register) and a NRHP listing (NR), or where there is a "SHPO opinion" which I assume means recommend not listing. However there may be places where a place is NJ-listed but not NRHP-listed. Loew's Theatre on page 8 (apparently in Jersey City?) is one. There was apparently an owner objection on that one. I assume New Jersey is the same as New York State, in this: that a historic place can be nominated by anyone, and the State may recognize it on its register, but if the owner objects it will not be NRHP-listed.
Anyhow, if you would like to do articles on the ones that are only New Jersey-listed, I would be glad to help. These would not fall under WikiProject NRHP but would fall under worldwide WikiProject Historic sites ( wp:HSITES), which has a general historic sites infobox available similar to the NRHP infobox. Let me know if interested. doncram ( talk) 02:55, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi, JimMillerJr. As you may remember, way back in August I started a thread at WikiProject New Jersey to discuss the "Federal, state, and county representation" subsections in New Jersey municipality articles, as User:Nightscream and I had a substantial disagreement on that subject. Approximately two months later, we've hammered out a compromise that we mostly agree upon, and presently I am seeing if there is a consensus for this compromise. I'm leaving this message here not as canvassing, but because you participated in this discussion previously and perhaps would be interested in weighing in on the compromise. The full discussion is here, and the proposed compromise is here. Thanks in advance for participating! A Stop at Willoughby ( talk) 03:18, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

As you participated in the recent
Audit Subcommittee election, or in one of two
requests for comment that relate to the use of
SecurePoll for elections on this project, you are invited to participate in the
SecurePoll feedback and workshop. Your comments, suggestions and observations are welcome.
For the Arbitration Committee,

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. |
The following articles may be in need of attention:

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 | |||
