User talk:Rockhead126Hello, fellow-Wikipedians. Feel free to say whatever right here. A barnstar for you!!
Main page appearance: Elizabeth IIThis is a note to let the main editors of Elizabeth II know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on June 5, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 5, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:
UcuchaBot (talk) 23:05, 22 May 2012 (UTC) AwardPeer review requestAt Virginia Conventions, Mojohand and TheVirginiaHistorian are trying to advance the article to GA status. Any peer review, overall critique or contribution would be welcome. Thanks in advance. TheVirginiaHistorian (talk) 15:20, 13 October 2016 (UTC) Bio appreciation and requestHello. I found your stub article for Peter K. Jones about halfway down my look-ups in the list of delegates at the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1868. I noticed that you researched the material required for a “politician info box” there. Would you consider doing the same for those noted as members of the General Assembly in the Convention article’s chart of delegates? Jweaver28 and I have begun to perfect the Chart of Delegates by creating bio start articles and stubs for the named delegates to give them links in the chart. In my first pass, I am noting the Virginia state legislators and their terms from Swem, "A Register of the General Assembly of Virginia, 1776-1918, and of the Constitutional Conventions”. I intend to elaborate the bios with information for Republicans from Jackson, "Negro Office-Holders in Virginia, 1865-1895” as I did for Peter K. Jones, as well as information for the few Conservatives noted in Pulliam, "The Constitutional Conventions of Virginia from the foundation of the Commonwealth to the present time” (1901). Your addition of bio stubs for the Convention delegates who were also Delegate and state Senator -- the Republicans and Conservatives not mentioned in either Pulliam or Jackson -- would be greatly appreciated to better complete the WP resources on this topic. Sincerely, TheVirginiaHistorian (talk) 12:52, 27 January 2017 (UTC) A beer for you!

Inventory of Historic Sites designation to a number of articles using {{Infobox NRHP}} and other infoboxes. That's a very welcome and long overdue addition. In response, I created the DCIHS article and added support for DCIHS at {{Designation}}, which allows it to be automatically updated in the infoboxes (example: Georgetown Car Barn). To take advantage of this, the articles will have to have the parameters changed to the ones used at e.g. Georgetown Car Barn. Would you be interested in taking a swing at this and updating the articles that you added DCIHS designation to? If so, adding Category:District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites to those articles would be very helpful too. Ergo Sum 18:34, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:24, 7 December 2021 (UTC) Thank you - and the many who helped - today for Elizabeth II, introduced (in 2012): "I think this article is almost perfectly written and is just about at the level of other British monarch FA's. It could use a couple of revisions, like in the header, but I think it'd be really cool to work out all the kinks by February 6 to coincide with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee."

Yearbook copyright noticesHi there - you recently reached out at my talk page about Thomas Spragens's article, and over the last day or two I've taken your advice and uploaded several photographs of Centre presidents from old digitized yearbooks from the Centre Digital Archives. Upon looking back at these sites, though, I did notice that in the "Rights" section, many of them (all of them after at least 1925, I believe) have "All Rights Reserved" as opposed to "Public Domain", including the 1972 yearbook you used for the picture of Spragens. Does this mean that the yearbooks are actually copyright-protected or are the pictures in the public domain anyways since the book itself doesn't have a copyright notice? Thank you for your help.

Is there a style guide for VA politicians somewhere you can point me to? I thought 'state_delegate' and 'state_senate' params would be more specific to the subjects, as this is commonly used in other states I've edited (MD, WI, NY, VT).
