Oklahoma legislators template

We don't maintain separate templates for each individual session of the legislature; there's only a single "current members" template that gets updated each time there's an election. So it's the correct template, it just may need to be updated if anything in it is out of date. I've changed the title to point to the 54th Legislature instead of the 53rd per your comment, but since I'm not in Oklahoma I don't know if all the members' names are correctly up to date or not — I think all or most of them are up to date, because another editor did that within days of the election last November, but I can't be 100% sure that they're all correct. So you might need to review the template to ensure that all of the names are correctly updated, but we really do only have the one template and just change its content each time there's an election.

Fred Haise update

Information icon Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Fred Haise, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- Doniago (talk) 15:00, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Okheric, and welcome. I've taken care of this by adding a citation to and restoring some material Doniago had removed, and then reverted his revert of your addition. JustinTime55 (talk) 18:26, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Template Infobox Oklahoma Legislature

Hello Okheric,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Template Infobox Oklahoma Legislature for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Ghostboy1997 (talk) 02:04, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Replay from Ghostboy1997

Thank you for saying sorry. Just don't create an article page about that again. Plus, i can't delete pages, i am not the admin. I am a user like you. I can only put a deletion tag on it. Hey if you want, go here for my suggestions. Go to my suggestions. Thank you. Ghostboy1997 (talk) 02:11, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A correction is needed

13th Oklahoma Legislature is about the 10th one. And just a suggestion - it may be appropriate to add other categories to the articles in the series. Thanks, Anand (talk page) 20:15, 21 June 2013 (UTC) 36th Oklahoma Legislature and 37th Oklahoma Legislature need the citation "A Century to Remember", if I am correct. Thanks, Anand (talk page) 20:21, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

and maybe 41st Oklahoma Legislature too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anand QED (talk • contribs) 20:24, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Assessments

Hey Okheric I noticed that in a few of your assessments that you have placed "no" in the task force parameters, just leave them blank because for some reason even if you put no it still shows up in the task force.

Article quality ratings are not "C"

The articles that you are marking as "C" rating...are not "C" rated, because they don't meet the first sentence of the "C" description, which is "The article is substantial". Those articles are NOT substantial! See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Oklahoma/Assessment#Quality_scale • Sbmeirow • Talk • 17:39, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline for guideline for US City articles. Notice how little those Oklahoma articles have compared to this guideline....thus is why they aren't "substantial" nor "C" rated. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 17:39, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notability tags

I noted that you've added notability tags to a number of brief Oklahoma-related articles, including a number of biographies. I can understand why you've raised the question about these brief articles, but in case you haven't seen them, I want to call to your attention a couple of notability guildelines:

  • WP:POLITICIAN says that we will generally keep articles about "Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature." A footnote comments that "People who satisfy this criterion will almost always satisfy the primary criterion. Biographers and historians will usually have already written about the past and present holders of major political offices. However, this criterion ensures that our coverage of major political offices, incorporating all of the present and past holders of that office, will be complete regardless." To take one example, your tagging of Brenda Reneau: the Oklahoma Labor Commissioner is a statewide elected office, and thus presumably the holders of that office pass WP:POLITICIAN. In Reneau's case it's probably also significant that she was the first (and so far only) woman to hold the office. There was plenty of coverage about her career in reliable sources, as a quick look at GNews [1] and GBooks [2] shows; that multiple sources are not currently in the article, or that many of them may not be readily available online or for free, do not mean she's not notable.
  • Another relevant guideline is WP:NOLYMPICS: "Athletes from any sport are presumed notable if they have competed at the Summer or Winter Olympic games."
  • I also noted your tagging of several articles about OU women's basketball coaches. These could be debated, but in my experience, the head coaches of Division 1 programs in major sports tend to get kept. There's almost always news coverage about their careers. OU has had one of the more prominent womens' basketball programs, so I would have qualms about deleting articles about the head coaches. (Others may have a different view on this, however.)

Thanks very much for your outstanding efforts on behalf of Oklahoma related content! --Arxiloxos (talk) 14:04, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

2019 US Banknote Contest

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
