== Facebook and a problem with your mugshot ==

Would you like to add your [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/73/Redhead.jpg mugshot] to the [[wikipedia:facebook|facebook]]? Actually I've just noticed that you appear to have accidentally uploaded said mugshot over the top of a picture of a [[Redhead (duck)]] which gives the article a somewhat surreal air. Might I suggest that you try re-loading your picture with a different filename? Meanwhile I have reverted the picture on the grounds that making the article look half-way sensible takes priority over seeing what a Wikipedian looks like (no matter how pleasant you appear :-) --[[User:Phil Boswell|Phil]] | [[User talk:Phil Boswell|Talk]] 11:59, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)

==Image:Redhead1.jpg==
Your [[:Image:Redhead1.jpg]] was not tagged. I tagged it "GFDL-presumed" for now. Please correct the tag to confirm GFDL or some other license status. Thanks [[User:Nv8200p|Nv8200p]] 12:31, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==T.E. Lawrence==
Thanks for posting that message on the talk page. I've done my best to address a fair number of them in the article. If there's any more traffic on the subject, do you think you could be so kind as to share it, too? On the talk page, if you think it's relevant, or via e-mail to me using the "e-mail this user" function if you don't and/or it isn't. Would be much appreciated.

Hi!  Cool screen name, BTW.

Regarding your "under construction" contribution:  These are speedy delete candidates.  An article has to have at least a smidgeon of content.  Best thing to do is to add a bit of fact to what you have, add a stub notice by merely typing <nowiki> {{stub}} </nowiki> at the bottom and feel free to remove the speedy delete notice once you've fleshed it out a bit.  Hit me on the talk page if you have any questions.  Take care! - [[User:Lucky 6.9|Lucky 6.9]] 5 July 2005 21:04 (UTC)

Hi, again.  Just so ya know, removing speedy delete notices without correcting the reason for it in the first place tends to be frowned upon.  Could I once again impose on you to glean a bit of fact from the site you've linked to before another user tags your effort for deletion again?  Thanks. - [[User:Lucky 6.9|Lucky 6.9]] 5 July 2005 21:07 (UTC)

== User categorization ==

Greetings!  Your user page hasn't been vandalized :-) --it was updated to use the new [[Wikipedia:User_categorisation|User Categorization]] scheme.  I have categorized your User Page as a Wikipedian in North Dakota ([[:Category:Wikipedians in North Dakota]]) since your name was listed on the [[:Wikipedia:Wikipedians/North Dakota]] page.  The [[:Wikipedia:Wikipedians/North Dakota]] page is scheduled for deletion.  Thanks!

==Wikiproject North Dakota==
Hi! you might be interested in helping [[User talk:Alexwcovington/ND Wikiproject proposal|Wikiproject North Dakota]] off the drawing board.  --'''[[User:Alexwcovington|<span style="background:#000088; color:#FFFF88;">AlexWCovington</span>]]''' ([[User talk:Alexwcovington|talk]]) 22:31, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
:[[Wikipedia:WikiProject North Dakota]] is official!  Sort of.  Lot of cleanup needed on the project page and plenty of work to do making a decent to-do list, etc. etc., but it all starts somewhere.  Thanks for all your help! --'''[[User:Alexwcovington|<span style="background:#000088; color:#FFFF88;">AlexWCovington</span>]]''' ([[User talk:Alexwcovington|talk]]) 05:29, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

==Using categories==
I'm a bit late on this, but I just noticed your question on categories at [[Category talk:Toys]] and wasn't sure whether you'd gotten an answer.  If not, [[Help:Category]] might help a little.  [[User:Elf|Elf]] | [[User talk:Elf|Talk]] 00:42, 8 February 2006 (UTC)


== Golden City again ==

Sorry, I don't think this is the book you are after. On rechecking the page about Finnemore there were two entries about author Minnie Harding Kelly and the second one, with reference to a book published in Pembina, was incorrect. I deleted the reference. My error-  sorry, I don't know how it happened. I couldn't find any reference to books about Pembina in COPAC.
Regards
Philip Marshall


== Clarification ==

Hi Trishymouse: I don't think the book - which was published by the Religious Tract Society - has anything to do with Pembina. I don't know where the reference to Pembina came from. I compiled the bibliography from COPAC - may be you would like to try using Pembina as a search term in COPAC if you haven't already done so. Best wishes,
Philip

== [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/MatthewUND2|MatthewUND's RfA]] ==

I just self-nominated myself for [[Wikipedia:administrators|administrator's]] status on Wikipedia. As an active member of WikiProject North Dakota, I feel that having admin status would allow me the ability to be more useful to the project and to curtail vandalism and other problems. An admin is able to protect pages that are being bombarded with vandalism and to more quickly revert pages that have been vandalized. I've always hoped that we could get an admin to join the WikiProject so we would have someone to turn to in times of need. Since we still don't have an active admin within the project's membership, I decided to nominate myself. I really hope you will visit [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/MatthewUND2|my request for adminship]] and support me. Thanks! --[[User:MatthewUND|Matth]][[Wikipedia:Esperanza|<span style="color:green;">e</span>]][[User:MatthewUND|w<span style="color:green;"><b>UND</b></span>]]<sup>([[User talk:MatthewUND|talk]])</sup> 10:47, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

'''''-Assessments-'''''<br/>
An intial round of assessments was recently done on all pages within the scope of WPND. These initial assessments...all 1,200+ of them...were done by [[User:MatthewUND|MatthewUND]]. Matthew tried to generally follow the assessment guidelines found at [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment]].

To see the assessment of any North Dakota page, simply go to the page's talk page and check the WPND banner. The assessment is presented in a color-coded field in the WPND banner. To change an assessment, edit the page and change the word after "class=" in the WPND banner. Add one of the following codes:

:''Stub'' - for very small articles<br/>
:''Start'' - for slightly longer, higher quality articles<br/>
:''B'' - for high quality articles of an appropriate length<br/>
:''List'' - for lists
:''Cat'' - for categories<br/>
:''Template'' - for templates<br/>
:''NA'' - for pages that are not articles, templates, or categories<br/>

Any WPND member should feel free to change any page's assessment. However, keep in mind that there are assessments (particularly ''GA'' for "Good Article" or ''FA'' for "Featured Article") which can't be applied without having gone through a nomination process.

'''''---North Dakota Portal---'''''<br/>
Wikipedia now has a new [[Wikipedia:Portal|portal]] devoted exclusively to the state of North Dakota. Check out [[Portal:North Dakota]].  

WPND member [[User:NDCompuGeek|NDCompuGeek]] has constructed the initial framework for the portal and it should now be easy to update the portal on a month-by-month basis. The portal will serve as a kind of "front door" for people using Wikipedia to learn more about North Dakota. It is a great starting point for branching out into the many aspects of the state.

Each month a different article, picture, city, and biography will be showcased along with current news and happenings from around the state. The July version of the portal showcases the [[Mandan]] tribe, Governor [[John Hoeven]], and the capital city of [[Bismarck, North Dakota|Bismarck]].

Visit the portal's [[Portal talk:North Dakota|talk page]] to share your opinions and ideas regarding the portal.

'''''---Grand Forks now a Featured Article---'''''<br/>
[[Grand Forks, North Dakota]] was [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Grand Forks, North Dakota|recently designated]] as a [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|Featured Article]]. This means that the article has gone through a nomination process in which it was reviewed and its quality was assessed. The fact that this article made it through the process shows that it is a high quality, well-written, well-sourced article. Currently, there are only a little over 1,500 Featured Articles in the almost two million articles on the English language Wikipedia. That means that only about one in 1,270 articles has been given this designation.

The Grand Forks article is a great example to follow when working on other city articles, particularly those about North Dakota cities. We would be very well off if our other major city articles were similar to the Grand Forks article. Keep the Grand Forks article bookmarked and refer to its structure and style when you work on similar articles.

'''''---New assessment parameter---'''''<br/>
You're likely aware that all WPND articles now include a quality rating located on the article's talk page. Now, a new assessment parameter is being implemented. The importance rating aims to gauge the "importance" of the article's subject as it relates to North Dakota. As an example, [[Bismarck, North Dakota]] would not be considered as being very important in relation to the country or the world, but it is of top importance when considering just the state of North Dakota.

The importance of each article is gauged as either ''Top'', ''High'', ''Mid'', or ''Low''. Since "importance" is a rather subjective term, some WPND members are trying to come up with a general set of guidelines. Check out [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_North_Dakota#Importance_criteria|this thread]] on the WPND talk page to see proposals and to share your own opinions of what is and isn't "important" in the state.

== Greetings ==

:I ran across your name more than once. The first time was at [[Pembina, North Dakota]], the second while researching the area around Pembina, for an article I moved to [[Pembina Region]], that was [[St. Vincent, Minnesota]], and the third was at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject North Dakota]] where you are listed as inactive, now apparently along with the entire project, and I noticed your comments of interest; ''"I will volunteer, silly person that I am. I grew up in St. Vincent, MN but live in Fargo now. St. Vincent in right across the Red River from Pembina, ND. While everyone else seems interested in the larger and more famous aspects of North Dakota, I rather like the more obscure and rural, and dare I say it, historical..."''. I joined [[Wikipedia:WikiProject United States History]]
:I am interested in all things history, especially towns, historic geographical areas, people, and a vast range of other historical areas. It seems that you have not been very active and I was wondering about it.
:I became interested in the area around where you live because of a deletion request of "Pembina Territory". I saw there was historical significance and improved the article to gain a stay of execution (of the deletion) but the article was deleted. Upon contact the Admin gave a sentence reprieve and moved it to draft. I moved it to article space (apparently without permission that I have to deal with) and made more improvements. 
:I then noticed that while the article is centered around The area west of the Red River there is connectivity to the eastern banks after 1818 but before the [[Minnesota Territory]], and this needs to be addressed.
:I also noted that the "St. Vincent" article appears to have a conflict of sorts. It concerns a man named Peter Grant that founded a post on the same spot in 1797 that Alexander built a fort.

==Charles J. Brown==
:the way WP works nowadays, is that articles this incomplete would usually be deleted. To prevent this, as reviewing administrator, I moved this article to [[:Draft: Charles J. Brown]]. It would be better to work on it there until it is reasonably finished; when it is, submit it for review and transfer to mainspace.  If you need help with anything, ask me on my talk page.

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of [[Banknotes of the United States dollar|United States banknotes]], yet only a fraction of these are represented on [[c:Main Page|Wikimedia Commons]] in the form of 2D scans.  Additionally, [[Colonial history of the United States|Colonial America]], the [[Confederate States of America|Confederate States]], the [[Republic of Texas]], multiple [[List of states and territories of the United States|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, [[WP:WikiProject Numismatics|WikiProject Numismatics]] will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the [[c:COM:US Banknote Contest/2019|2019 US Banknote Contest]].  The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on [[m:Complete list of Wikimedia projects|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 [[c:COM:US Banknote Contest/2019#Awards|awards]].  Whether you want to claim the [[Template:GoldenWiki|Gold Wiki]] or you just want to have fun, all are invited to [[c:COM:US Banknote Contest/2019#How to participate|participate]].
