Good luck!

TOC

[edit]

A table of contents automatically shows up if the article has enough subheadings... :-) --HappyCamper 16:23, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide sources for the information in this stub. Thnx. TheRingess 01:12, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Have at it, just an FYI, I am done editing the article tonight, so there should be no edit conflicts. Travb 23:41, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Chad, on Darcy Burner's page you apparently made a change indicating that Randy Gordon had dropped out of the WA-8 CD race ... is that true?

Page names

[edit]

Please don't make page titles that are subsidiaries of other pages, for example "Page/subpage". Wikipedia has specifically stoppped using that format. Just create the "subpage" article with a full title of its own. I'm not sure of the value of creating all of these pages for boards, but that's a different matter. -Will Beback 21:24, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a copyright violation from [1]. In the future, please do not cut and paste copyrigted material, as it is illegal to do so. ErikNY 13:54, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion conversation

[edit]

Chadlupkes, hello. Over in the deletion queue we're discussing whether or not some corporate-board member biographies reach the level of notability for wikipedia. I noticed you had entered some of these, and I thought you might want to join that discussion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/George_L._Miles cheers --Lockley 23:24, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Chad, to answer your question "Is there an article related to the subject of board members being part of multiple boards?", there appear to be 2: Interlocking directorate and Corporate interlocks. The 1st is brief; the 2nd seems to deal with the issue from a sociological standpoint rather than corporate governance. I'm going to expand the first one and welcome your advice & guidance. --Lockley 21:12, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oregon and Washington elections

[edit]

Hi Chad,

I looked at your work, and I'm very impressed. Thanks very much for saying hello. I expect there's lots we can learn from each other's efforts. I like the way you categorized things, and I think I'll probably restructure what I've done into categories like yours.

I'd be interested in discussing in more detail. If you want to contact me: peteforsyth is the address and the domain is mac. (Sorry, I'm paranoid of spidering spambots!)

Oregon election

[edit]

Hi Chad,

Thanks for the note. Yes, I had originally made the legislature table a separate table. A novice Wikipedia editor pointed out to me how difficult that made it to make modifications...and I realized it really served no purpose to keep it separate, so I copied it into the main page.

Unfortunately, when I attempted to delete the now-irrelevant table page, a "bot" would not allow me to.

If you know a way to get it deleted, delete away!

Thanks, -Pete

Hey, you're a wikiwarrior, too!

[edit]

Hey, Chad. I saw your sig in Talk:99942 Apophis and I thought: what are the chances?! Well, apparently, greater than the chance of asteroidal collision! Nice to see you here, but couldn't you have found a less obvious user name? ;) Brian Sayrs 02:26, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bruce Guthrie

[edit]

Hi,

I was the person who removed the biographical paragraph from the Bruce Guthrie article. The reason I removed it is that it is a direct copy of text from a page which asserts copyright [2]. This page asserts a copyright, so I don't think that this text can stand as it is. Am I misunderstanding the copyright policy? ScottW 20:24, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I agree that the information should exist in some form. There's actually a little more information I'm planning on putting in once the AfD issue is resolved (assuming it's kept). I may also try to reorganize the information as well. I saw your changes to the paragraph, and I think that it should be ok (although I'm not sure that technically it is different enough). I've also made a change to the first sentence. See what you think, if you get time. ScottW 23:24, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Elections

[edit]

Just wanted to say thanks for the template suggestion for Georgia, I haven't had time to get started on it until now - funny how being forced to stay at work past 7:30 on a Friday can create time ;-P Ataru 23:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes, there are Georgia state legislature elections this year, but (un)fortunately I've been busy working on the actual campaigns rather than updating the Wikipedia articles :-) Ataru 05:27, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Saudi Aramco does not produce 10 million barrels of oil per day

Re: Korean Language Institute

[edit]

The problem is that the whole Wikipedia article is a copy of a source that is not giving information for free. If there is not enough information about the topic, it is better to have no article than to have a copy from a copyrighted text. Note that the article is giving two external links but no reference. When copying something from another site, use a quote or italics, and add the link just after the quotation, so that it can be seen as reference. -- ReyBrujo 17:16, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, of course. Rewriting the article is a good step. As for "automatically declaring that anything copied and not formatted properly is grounds for deletion and possible blocking of the user", don't worry. Unless the user keeps adding dubious copyright statements, he will not be blocked. At worst, if the article is deleted it can be recreated. The article was tagged by a bot[3] which does a search for every new article and reports if the text has been found somewhere. We are not trying to discourage people from creating articles, but instead to educate them. You can create a temporal page from that Institute page. If the article is deleted due copyright problems, the copy is put in its place. -- ReyBrujo 19:37, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Nobody has written anything there, yet. From National Institute of Korean Language, you will see a If you plan to write a new article, please follow this link to a temporary subpage. Click on the red link, and you will be directed to a temporary page. Write the article there, and once an administrator deletes the main page, he will move the temporary page where the other was. -- ReyBrujo 15:57, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I thought you'd like to know that List of United States federal legislation has been nominated to be a Featured List. It needs 4 votes by October 2 2006.

As I have labored hard on the article, I would appreciate your looking it over. You can find a discussion here: Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of United States federal legislation.

Thank you!

Joshua I. Smith

[edit]

Joshua I. Smith has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this person might not be notable enough for an article. Please review Wikipedia:Notability (people) for the relevant guidelines. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" template, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but if an editor is still not satisfied that it meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. NickelShoe (Talk) 16:53, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I understand. The emphasis on notability has centered somewhat on verifiability, though, so if you have sources... NickelShoe (Talk) 17:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You show notability by the fact that other people have published about something. Have you read WP:N lately? NickelShoe (Talk) 17:39, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please rewrite the article so it sounds like an article and not a resume? Thanks! 14:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Your edit to Frank G. Zarb

Message posted on Thursday, May 31, 2007

[edit]

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Frank G. Zarb. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://www.nasd.com/PressRoom/NewsReleases/1997NewsReleases/NASDW_010447 in this case) 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

  • If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
  • If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Frank G. Zarb with a link to where we can find that note;
  • If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Frank G. Zarb with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:Frank G. Zarb saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Delete it then. If the community is not interested in collecting information like this, then I guess it's not an encyclopedia entry. Chadlupkes 16:45, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The point is that it is text that has been copied without permission. Copyrights are important and need to be respected. One cannot just copy text from another source and insert it into wikipedia without confirming that the text is either public domain or released under the GFDL. There are links in the above message that can help you understand these issues. Regards. -- Whpq 16:49, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that now. I didn't understand it in December, 2005 when I made the copy. There have been some changes and additions made to it since then. I'm no longer working on it, so delete it if you feel that is necessary. Chadlupkes 16:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chadlupkes, I just wanted to say thanks for the new sortable table format for co-sponsors! I didn't know how to do that. It's quite handy and looks great!--OtisTDog 19:57, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:FL-districts-108v.JPG

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:FL-districts-108v.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 02:07, 23 July 2007 (UTC)


A tag has been placed on KKSM, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. PMDrive1061 19:53, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So we're not even allowed to leave a stub now? I'm trying to encourage people to help fill in the blanks because I don't have time to do everything. But, if that's the rules, I'll just go somewhere else to try and build information infrastructure. Wikipedia is less and less meaningful and useful as a tool because of rules that are approaching imperialism. That's coming from a friend of Jimbo. Chadlupkes 21:39, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • With all due respect, I don't have time either. Too big a project. The imperialistic attitude is why I left this project before. However, there are minimum rules for inclusion and one of those rules is size. You can leave a stub, but it should be more than a single sentence and a taxobox. I make original contributions as well, but I try to fulfill the minimum requirements for size when I do. There is no reason for you not to recreate the article. Just add some more info when you do. If you had hung the construction template on it the first time, we probably wouldn't be having this discussion. Technically, it's still a speedy but I'll leave it up to you to flesh it out. Regarding Jimbo: I have the utmost respect for him, but he lets this site pretty much run itself. He probably logs on less than anyone else here. Relax and remember WP:BITE. PMDrive1061 22:13, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Chad, I've taken some time to flesh this out a bit based on the station's history page. I'll go back and add the taxobox later. I work in broadcasting (hence the username) and I've written a few station articles under my previous username. I hope I've helped. --PMDrive1061 03:39, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dal LaMagna

[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Dal LaMagna, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Dal LaMagna.

AfD nomination of Jack Truman

[edit]

An editor has nominated Jack Truman, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack Truman and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 15:29, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What's the purpose of Category:Massachusetts elections templates? How many templates are their going to be?—Markles 22:59, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are quite a few elections templates scattered around. I'm going through all 50 states to put them in categories under each 'State elections' category. Do you have a different idea on how to organize them? Chadlupkes (talk) 23:01, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Example: Category:Washington election templates
  • I'm not sure, frankly. Maybe put all the 50 states elections templates into one meta-category, such as, "Category:United States state elections templates." But right now you've got a category (perhaps 50 categories), containing only one article/template. See Wikipedia:Overcategorization.—Markles 23:13, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. I'm not finding a lot of templates that need to go into categories yet. Right now I'm trying to clean up the state elections categories by separating them out by year for each state. Probably overboard, but I've been seeing more and more articles popping up as more people actually start to pay attention and want to look up or contribute. So I'm trying to put things into a organized pattern. What's the general rule on how many, or how few, articles should be in a category to make it worth keeping? Chadlupkes (talk) 23:18, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • For the best discussion of how many/few articles should be in a category to make it worth keeping, see Wikipedia:Overcategorization. I see that there are now an article and a subcategory, Massachusetts presidential primary navigational boxes. That sub-cat is so overboard because it's templates are just unnecessary. But that's a different discussion for a different time. —Markles 23:28, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. Also, I'm not creating the templates yet, just trying to categorize what I can find already created. Chadlupkes (talk) 23:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chad, in 2005, some information about the federal election for President were added to the Eastgate CDP, Washington article under politics. I'm not able to find the election outcomes for the area down to the precincts. Do you happen to have that information? Konrad Kgrr (talk) 07:09, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it is within the Bellevue precincts. If you can find the precinct numbers, I can point you to the election results pages. Chadlupkes (talk) 16:01, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article United States general elections, 2003, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

Speedy deletion of Jones International

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Jones International 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 a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ukexpat (talk) 21:33, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2010 Elections

[edit]

The election is still two years away, and we haven't even had this year's yet. You're not going to have any references for the article, most likely until those papers are filed, yes. Until that time, everything is going to be pure speculation, which is not what Wikipedia is for. You need reliable sources to verify anything you add, which is what you were told in the last AfD. Guessing what is going to happen is a violation of WP:CRYSTAL, and would be entirely original research. I'd suggest you look over those policies, as they're probably going to answer your questions for you. Hersfold (t/a/c) 15:34, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chad, could you take a quick look at the presidential electors from Washington and check them over, and perhaps add any more detail you know (with references of course).Kgrr (talk) 15:50, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:LAYOUT and closing sections

[edit]

According to Wikipedia:Layout#Standard appendices, the standard order of appendix sections is:

  • Works
  • See also
  • Notes, Footnotes, References (interchangable)
  • Further reading
  • External links

Recently you moved a number of "See also" sections to the end of their articles. I have already fixed Virginia gubernatorial election, 2009 and New York City mayoral election, 2009. You may want to take a look back at the other articles you edited. Thanks. Rklear (talk) 16:17, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Only a few hundred pages I've done like that... Thanks for letting me know. I've always considered navigational boxes to be part of "see also", but it looks like they can just go under External Links on their own instead of within a sectional header. I'll keep that standard from now on. Chadlupkes (talk) 18:06, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Triton Media Group, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Triton Media Group is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Triton Media Group, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group

[edit]

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page . Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 03:36, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Just ran into United States Senate election in Hawaii, 2010 and I'm curious about it. Can you point me towards any policies and guidelines related to future elections in the United States?

Unreferenced BLPs

[edit]

Hello Chadlupkes! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 24 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources.

WikiProject Space Colonization activity

[edit]

Hello there! As part of an experiment to determine how many active editors are present in the spaceflight-related WikiProjects, some changes have been made to the list of members of WikiProject Space Colonization. If you still consider yourself to be an active editor in this project, we would be grateful if you would please edit the list so that your name is not struck out - thus a clearer idea of the critical mass of editors can be determined. Many thanks in advance.

WikiProject Spaceflight reboot

[edit]

Hello there! As you may or may not be aware, a recent discussion on the future of the Space-related WikiProjects has concluded, leading to the abolition of WP:SPACE and leading to a major reorganisation of WP:SPACEFLIGHT. It would be much appreciated if you would like to participate in the various ongoing discussions at the reorganisation page and the WikiProject Spaceflight talk page. If you are a member of one of WP:SPACEFLIGHT's child projects but not WP:SPACEFLIGHT itself, it would also be very useful if you could please add your name to the member list here. Many thanks!

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 Pedro Reinhard 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 a person or group of people, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Alexf(talk) 16:40, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was recently suggested that WikiProject Washington might be inactive or semiactive and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States.

The article Democracy for Washington has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unreferenced political group article of unclear notability; tagged as unreferenced since 2009

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

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 National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.sandia.gov/nisac/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

2019 US Banknote Contest

[edit]
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

Hello, Chadlupkes. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "2008 Washington State local elections".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
