==[[Flying scorpions]]==
Greetings! I was going through new pages and I saw that you had tagged this article as [[Patent nonsense]] but it really doesn't fit. I went ahead and put it on AFD: [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flying scorpions]]. Please feel free to make your views known there! I echo the complement on your username, very good! later, [[User:Rx StrangeLove|Rx StrangeLove]] 16:46, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Hello, Doctor.  I noticed that you made an edit to [[Postal authority]] and I wondered if you might like to join [[:Wikipedia:WikiProject Philately]] and display this banner on your user page?

== Featured article for December 25th ==

I noticed you have listed yourself in [[:Category:Atheist Wikipedians]]. That said, you will probably be interested in [[Wikipedia talk:Tomorrow's featured article#Omnipotence_paradox_(To_be_featured_on_December_25)|my suggested featured article for December 25th]]: [[Omnipotence paradox]]. The other suggestion being supported by others for that date is [[Christmas]], although [[User:Raul654|Raul654]] has historically been against featuring articles on the same day as their anniversary/holiday. &mdash; <small>[[User:Brian0918|<b style="color:black;">BRIAN</b>]][[User_talk:Brian0918|<span style="color:gray;">0918</span>]] &bull; 2005-11-28 08:13</small>

== Virginia Highways ==

Good afternoon, sir.  I come to you with two things.  First, could we get your opinion on [[Talk:List of Virginia numbered highways]]?  I'm just sitting around here waiting, haha.  And, would you be interested in joining the [[User:MPD01605/Virginia Highway WikiProject|WikiProject Virginia Highways]]?  You expressed interest in it and I'd like to get it off the ground soon.  You can also add your name here [[Wikipedia:Wikiproject/List of proposed projects#Virginia Highways]] if you'd like.  That's all I have.  Thank you.  --[[User:MPD01605|MPD01605]] 18:24, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

== DC Quadrant articles ==

Dear Dr.,

I know you're the expert here about DC geography.  I'm a bit swamped for the next couple of days.  Could you take a look at [[Washington, D.C. (Southwest)]], [[Washington, D.C. (southwest)]], and [[Southwest (Waterfront)]]?  What's going on with these articles?  Why was the old [[Washington, D.C. (southwest)]] article redirected to the waterfront article?  Thanks.

== FIM image ==

Hi, I noticed your request for a diagram in [[Facing Identification Mark]]. Is [[:Image:Envelope-bar-code.svg|this]] any use? [[User:Sakurambo|Sakurambo]] 14:18, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
:Yes. Thanks. [[User:Doctor Whom|Doctor Whom]] 13:20, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

==Final state highway naming conventions debate==

Doctor Whom, your participation is welcome in the [[Wikipedia:State route naming conventions poll]]. Please give your input as to the process by 23:59 UTC on August 8.

== [[A True Church]] ==

I am removing the non-notable tag on this article, but leaving an -unreferenced- one on there until we get some references that are not from the church's own website. (there is still an -orphan- tag as well).  [[User:Pastordavid|Pastordavid]] 21:16, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

==[[Borough]]==
Thanks for the effort to shift the info from [[Borough]] to [[Boroughs of the United States]], which makes much more sense. I think the main [[Borough]] article could use a tad more details (which states use it, that it has different meanings in different states), but you're on the right track. [[User:Alansohn|Alansohn]] 20:21, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello! I noticed your edit to [[Bear Community]] and would like to invite you to join [[Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies|WikiProject LGBT studies]]. We would be delighted to have you on board! [[User:Dev920|Dev920]] (Have a nice day!) 23:25, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Doctor Whom!

I just found [[:File:VA CY 8900.png]] and I was thinking that you or some other Wikipedian can move it to the Commons. It is just too good for it to be unable to use on other Wikimedia projects.

== An exciting month of wiki events! ==

<div style="background: #EFFDF5; padding:3em; font-family:'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif; font-size:110%;">
Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a ''very'' exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Women in the Arts 2014|Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon]]''' will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever '''[https://www.eventbrite.com/e/open-government-wikihack-tickets-10862424805 Open Government WikiHack]''' with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Sunlight Foundation Happy Hour|happy hour]]''' the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Africa Collection Editathon|Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon]]''' will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Wiki Loves Capitol Hill 2014|Wiki Loves Capitol Hill]]''' training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our [[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC|meetup page]] with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best,<br />[[User:Harej|James Hare]]

== Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon ==

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.
 
'''When''': Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

'''Where''':  The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

== Resource request ==

Hello! I noticed that you are part of [[:Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: University of Michigan]], and I was hoping you could help me out. I am trying to get some information from an ebook (''International Directory of Company Histories. Volume 214'') that is available from the University of Michigan Library. The book contains a section on Cloud9 Esports, Inc, which is what I am after, and (I believe) the pages are 122-125. If you can help me, here is a link to the book on the library's webpage [https://search.lib.umich.edu/catalog/record/018280157?query=isn%3A1109938573&library=All+libraries]. Thank you!

Thanks for this [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=European_Patent_Register&type=revision&diff=1059625928&oldid=918519659 edit]. The term "so-called" was not meant to be derogatory. I simply meant "so named" per the first definition of "so-called" [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/so-called#Adjective]. But we can remove "so-called", it's okay.
