If you create a page, and before anyone else edits it you decide to have it deleted, like what seems to have happened with Category:Townships in Auglaze County, Ohio, please put a {{ db-self}} at the top of the page, in stead of blanking it. This will attract an administrator to it to have it deleted.

Thanks for fixing the population density. I haven't a clue why, but some of these community infoboxes have the density of housing units (in case you didn't notice this, check the demographics: you'll see that the numbers you replaced were correct for the density of housing units) rather than population density.

Now that we have a project and a solid pool of willing members I wanted to strike while the iron is hot and solicite help in doing a few things that I believe is a good next step in solidifiing the project. I have outlined a few suggestions where you can help with on the projects talk page. This includes but is not limited too updating Portal:United States, assessing the remaining US related articles that haven't been assessed, eliminating the Unrefernced BLP's and others. If you have other suggestions or are interested in doing other things feel free. I just wanted to offer a few suggestions were additional help is needed.

The monthly collaboration is now in its third month since reactivation. The first article Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was improved significantly in February, as was George Washington (the second one) in March. Although the latter article was not nominated for GA, enough work was done for contributors to identify remaining content areas needing improving before an attempt is made, which is great progress. Thus anyone keen on reading up on Washington's role in the American Revolution and the presidency is most welcome to review and contribute. Magicpiano ( talk · contribs) is planning on buffing material for the American Revolution segment by focussing on the daughter article, George Washington in the American Revolution first. Anyway, Chesapeake Bay is the new collaboration picked for April and anyone is welcome to work on it. For choosing new candidate articles for May and beyond, editors should think about articles which have a range of issues that a variety of editors can help with, from content (primary school to university level research) to copyediting. Having a look over current and past ideas (which can be seen here and here (even older ones). So folks have a think about which articles are in most in need of fixing, or alternately, have a clear pathway to GA or FA status. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

We are happy to report that the project continues to grow every day with several more editors joining the project this month. We welcome them to the project along with all the other editors who have joined since the relaunch of the project in January. This month at least five articles relating to United States topics were promoted to Featured article status and at least nine articles have been promoted to Featured list. Additionally, there are multiple articles including the USS Chesapeake (1799), Jefferson nickel and Frank Buckles, the last American World War I veteran who recently died, pending review for Featured article status. The full list can be found here. There is also a large selection of Lists pending featued list status here including several relating to sports and music, List of tallest buildings in Austin and List of U.S. state horses. We continue to look for editors interested in reviewing these articles so any help no matter how big or small is greatly appreciated. After nearly two months of discussions and preperations WikiProject United States Government has joined the family of WikiProjects supported by WikiProject United States. The initial phase of including this project have already begun and should conclude in the next couple weeks. This project represents a core topic relating to the United States and collaboration between the two projects will make both stronger. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

A lot of improvements were made to last months collaboration, Chesapeake Bay so thanks to all who helped with that. The collaboration for May is Wall Street. Tomwsulcer has already done a major rewrite and expansion of the Wall street article while it was a collaboration candidate and with just a little more work I believe we can get it to GA. The current articles up for vote are:
Activity in the collaboration has slowed this month and we continue to look for editors to submit their suggestions for articles they would like to see collaboration on and we continue to seek editors interested in improving those articles. Whether they are designated as the collaboration of the month or they are just a candidate editors are encouraged to edit any of them and make improvements. Please take some time to submit and vote for the article(s) you think should be the next collaboration for June. Over the next couple of months we will be implementing some bot tasks to automate some of the things that are currently done manually in the Collaboration. If anyone has a bot or wants to start one and is willing to take on one of the tasks please let the project know by leaving a note on the projects talk page. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Hello! I have contacted you because you are in the category "Wikipedians from Cincinnati" and indicate you are a student at Cincinnati State University. I would like for someone to photograph the corporate office buildings, including the Comair General Office Building, the Comair corporate headquarters at 77 Comair Boulevard, and the building at 82 Comair Boulevard, both in Erlanger, KY, at Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky Regional Airport. Since Comair is shutting down on September 29, 2012, I would like for someone to take this photo as soon as possible. I do not want for the Comair markings to be taken off of the buildings.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Dream Records requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. WikiPuppies bark dig 00:18, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Just as I did with U.S. Route 27 in Kentucky after you created the article, I purged a lot of cruft out of U.S. Route 127 in Kentucky. You should take a look at what I deleted from each for some idea on how to make better tables. Also, you should take a look at how I edited the leads to fit our guidelines on formatting a lead, which is even more generic to Wikipedia. Lastly, we limit infoboxes to just 8–10 junctions, tops. That means that sometimes we omit major highways from appearing in the infobox, but since it is supposed to be a summary of the full junction list table, readers still get all of the information anyway.
|mile=
and |mile2=
to create a range of mileposts for a single intersection and list everything together.Hopefully this helps. Imzadi 1979 → 03:17, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
Just an FYI, but state-detail articles for U.S. Highways have been reverted back to redirects in the past when they don't have more than an infobox and a junction list table. Imzadi 1979 → 05:20, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

I appreciate all of the work you have done to add milepoint tables to Kentucky route articles! After you complete the table in each article, can you go into the article talk and update the WikiProject U.S. Roads banner? In particular, if the article has both a Route description and a Major intersections section, change the class from "stub" to "start" and change the needs-jctint parameter from "missing" to "no." We use the data in the banners to categorize which articles need milepoint tables, so it would be great if you could go back and update the banners in the articles you have worked on previously, too.

I don't know if it interests you or not. Almost 10 years ago you wrote to Nyttend here: User_talk:Nyttend/Archive_14#Clough_Creek about Clough Creek. You had said it was named after Richard Clough Anderson, which links to Richard Clough Anderson Jr. However, the creek is actually named after his father Richard Clough Anderson Sr. I just posted an XfD about the redirect Richard Clough Anderson so there will be no further confusion. You are not the only one who got the father and son confused. I think I found about 5-10 mistakes like that in Wikipedia that I just corrected. Some very famous people in American history.
I haven't been able to locate any WP:RS to prove that Clough Pike is named after the father. If you know of anything, I would love to add that to the article. -- David Tornheim ( talk) 18:44, 6 January 2019 (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 |

I noticed that you made a change on October 12, 2020 to the Jan & Dean discography regarding the song Julie, referencing a 1961 article in Billboard. All of the information that I have shows Julie to be the "B" side. While it is not directly printed on the single as "A" side or "B" side, the number for Don't Look Away is 45-LIB-69, while the number for Julie is 45-LIB-70. I don't dispute what you might have read, but I don't have access to that issue. Can you provide a citation for this information. Here is a link [2] to the pictures of the single on Discogs. In the discography on the Wikilink to the song Julie, it also shows a different record label with the same information. Frankzappatwin ( talk) 19:29, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the population density. I haven't a clue why, but some of these community infoboxes have the density of housing units (in case you didn't notice this, check the demographics: you'll see that the numbers you replaced were correct for the density of housing units) rather than population density.

I saw you had interest in Wikipedia toys articles, so I figured I'd mention that I started a page for the 1980's " Convertors" line of toys, and could use any help I can get making it "notable" for Wikipedia. Thanks. Mathewignash ( talk) 17:52, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

With the first of what I hope will be monthly newsletters I again want to welcome you to the project and hope that as we all work together through the year we can expand the project, create missing articles and generally improve the pedia thought mutual cooperation and support. Now that we have a project and a solid pool of willing members I wanted to strike while the iron is hot and solicite help in doing a few things that I believe is a good next step in solidifiing the project. I have outlined a few suggestions where you can help with on the projects talk page. This includes but is not limited too updating Portal:United States, assessing the remaining US related articles that haven't been assessed, eliminating the Unrefernced BLP's and others. If you have other suggestions or are interested in doing other things feel free. I just wanted to offer a few suggestions were additional help is needed. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments or suggestions or you can always post something on the projects talk page. If you do not want to recieve a monthly message please put an * before your name on the members page.-- Kumioko ( talk) 03:53, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

The monthly collaboration is now in its third month since reactivation. The first article Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was improved significantly in February, as was George Washington (the second one) in March. Although the latter article was not nominated for GA, enough work was done for contributors to identify remaining content areas needing improving before an attempt is made, which is great progress. Thus anyone keen on reading up on Washington's role in the American Revolution and the presidency is most welcome to review and contribute. Magicpiano ( talk · contribs) is planning on buffing material for the American Revolution segment by focussing on the daughter article, George Washington in the American Revolution first. Anyway, Chesapeake Bay is the new collaboration picked for April and anyone is welcome to work on it. For choosing new candidate articles for May and beyond, editors should think about articles which have a range of issues that a variety of editors can help with, from content (primary school to university level research) to copyediting. Having a look over current and past ideas (which can be seen here and here (even older ones). So folks have a think about which articles are in most in need of fixing, or alternately, have a clear pathway to GA or FA status. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

We are happy to report that the project continues to grow every day with several more editors joining the project this month. We welcome them to the project along with all the other editors who have joined since the relaunch of the project in January. This month at least five articles relating to United States topics were promoted to Featured article status and at least nine articles have been promoted to Featured list. Additionally, there are multiple articles including the USS Chesapeake (1799), Jefferson nickel and Frank Buckles, the last American World War I veteran who recently died, pending review for Featured article status. The full list can be found here. There is also a large selection of Lists pending featued list status here including several relating to sports and music, List of tallest buildings in Austin and List of U.S. state horses. We continue to look for editors interested in reviewing these articles so any help no matter how big or small is greatly appreciated. After nearly two months of discussions and preperations WikiProject United States Government has joined the family of WikiProjects supported by WikiProject United States. The initial phase of including this project have already begun and should conclude in the next couple weeks. This project represents a core topic relating to the United States and collaboration between the two projects will make both stronger. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The portal is really looking good and a lot of things have been put in place to make the portal work in a semi automated fashion but it needs help with filling in some of the Anniversaries pages. Most of the days up to mid May have been started but there is still work to be done from the middle of May through December. More help is always appreciated with new events as they occur so any assistance there is also appreciated. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A lot of improvements were made to last months collaboration, Chesapeake Bay so thanks to all who helped with that. The collaboration for May is Wall Street. Tomwsulcer has already done a major rewrite and expansion of the Wall street article while it was a collaboration candidate and with just a little more work I believe we can get it to GA. The current articles up for vote are:
Activity in the collaboration has slowed this month and we continue to look for editors to submit their suggestions for articles they would like to see collaboration on and we continue to seek editors interested in improving those articles. Whether they are designated as the collaboration of the month or they are just a candidate editors are encouraged to edit any of them and make improvements. Please take some time to submit and vote for the article(s) you think should be the next collaboration for June. Over the next couple of months we will be implementing some bot tasks to automate some of the things that are currently done manually in the Collaboration. If anyone has a bot or wants to start one and is willing to take on one of the tasks please let the project know by leaving a note on the projects talk page. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Hello! I have contacted you because you are in the category "Wikipedians from Cincinnati" and indicate you are a student at Cincinnati State University. I would like for someone to photograph the corporate office buildings, including the Comair General Office Building, the Comair corporate headquarters at 77 Comair Boulevard, and the building at 82 Comair Boulevard, both in Erlanger, KY, at Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky Regional Airport. Since Comair is shutting down on September 29, 2012, I would like for someone to take this photo as soon as possible. I do not want for the Comair markings to be taken off of the buildings. If you want to, please photograph the Comair buildings. Thanks WhisperToMe ( talk) 04:38, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Silly Songs with Larry, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tait ( 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.

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 Dream Records requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. WikiPuppies bark dig 00:18, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Just as I did with U.S. Route 27 in Kentucky after you created the article, I purged a lot of cruft out of U.S. Route 127 in Kentucky. You should take a look at what I deleted from each for some idea on how to make better tables. Also, you should take a look at how I edited the leads to fit our guidelines on formatting a lead, which is even more generic to Wikipedia. Lastly, we limit infoboxes to just 8–10 junctions, tops. That means that sometimes we omit major highways from appearing in the infobox, but since it is supposed to be a summary of the full junction list table, readers still get all of the information anyway.
|mile=
and |mile2=
to create a range of mileposts for a single intersection and list everything together.Hopefully this helps. Imzadi 1979 → 03:17, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
Just an FYI, but state-detail articles for U.S. Highways have been reverted back to redirects in the past when they don't have more than an infobox and a junction list table. Imzadi 1979 → 05:20, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

I appreciate all of the work you have done to add milepoint tables to Kentucky route articles! After you complete the table in each article, can you go into the article talk and update the WikiProject U.S. Roads banner? In particular, if the article has both a Route description and a Major intersections section, change the class from "stub" to "start" and change the needs-jctint parameter from "missing" to "no." We use the data in the banners to categorize which articles need milepoint tables, so it would be great if you could go back and update the banners in the articles you have worked on previously, too.

I don't know if it interests you or not. Almost 10 years ago you wrote to Nyttend here: User_talk:Nyttend/Archive_14#Clough_Creek about Clough Creek. You had said it was named after Richard Clough Anderson, which links to Richard Clough Anderson Jr. However, the creek is actually named after his father Richard Clough Anderson Sr. I just posted an XfD about the redirect Richard Clough Anderson so there will be no further confusion. You are not the only one who got the father and son confused. I think I found about 5-10 mistakes like that in Wikipedia that I just corrected. Some very famous people in American history.
I haven't been able to locate any WP:RS to prove that Clough Pike is named after the father. If you know of anything, I would love to add that to the article. -- David Tornheim ( talk) 18:44, 6 January 2019 (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 |

I noticed that you made a change on October 12, 2020 to the Jan & Dean discography regarding the song Julie, referencing a 1961 article in Billboard. All of the information that I have shows Julie to be the "B" side. While it is not directly printed on the single as "A" side or "B" side, the number for Don't Look Away is 45-LIB-69, while the number for Julie is 45-LIB-70. I don't dispute what you might have read, but I don't have access to that issue. Can you provide a citation for this information. Here is a link [2] to the pictures of the single on Discogs. In the discography on the Wikilink to the song Julie, it also shows a different record label with the same information. Frankzappatwin ( talk) 19:29, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
