I thought you would probaly want to see this. I think we should try for WikiNumismatics. You can make proposals here].

03:42, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Note

I think WikiCurrency should include something about Numismatics. But WikiCoins would be suitable. I don't know of anything else on proposals.
About my signature, you can edit your's by clicking the Preferences button at the top of your screen. Funny you should ask now, I was just working on it, (it's a huge mess now, CSS is not easy to figure out).

Question

I was wondering why you remove all the messages on your talk page. You should archive them instead. Some people don't like it. I don't really care what others do with their talk pages, but some people do. Just thought you would benefit from this.

Happy editing!

Wow

I looked up your edit count today, and couldn't believe how many edits you've made. You had around 150 last week, now you have 500. Keep up the good work.

Johann Wolfgang [T...C]
18:53, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Well there are 780,000 articles on the English Wikipedia. If you go here, and click on 'What links here' you can see all the pages that have that template.



If you need any help with references, values, dimensions, et cetera, feel free to ask.


Template

I recently created a new template for the WikiProject. It is meant for images. You can put it on the talk pages of coin images. It looks like this:

{{Template:Numismaticnotice-image}}

Happy editing!

Johann Wolfgang's RfA

Thanks a ton for your support on my RfA.If my RfA passes I will use my new abilities with the common interest in mind. We haven't talked in awhile, I see you've been busy, but as soon as I'm done with my RfA I'll be getting back to working on the Wikiproject Numismatics. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Happy editing!

Unnecessary deletion of United States commemorative coins category

Hi, I invite you to vote against the unnecessary deletion of the United States commemorative coins category

I'd like to thank you for voting in this matter! --Kurt 10:08, 13 November 2005 (UTC)


Thanks

Thank you for the congratulations, remember, if you need me to do any admin-like tasks feel free to ask. Happy editing!

Johann Wolfgang [ T ...C ] 23:40, 14 November 2005 (UTC)


I was just looking at your edit count and I thought I'd congratulate on your 1000th edit.


Note

Yes, I should be getting around to doing those soon. Anyways happy editing!

Johann Wolfgang 00:10, 16 November 2005 (UTC)


About the to do list, it is updated, but the old revision is stuck in your browser history, since it has the same name and metadata it will load the old page. When you save it you see the updated page, when you go to the front page, which you didn't update, it shows the old revision. Hope this explains it, (all browsers do this by the way).

C.S.A. currency

I've responded to your message on my talk page. --TantalumTelluride 23:38, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

I've responded to the message you posted on my talk page at 23:45, 16 November 2005 (UTC). --TantalumTelluride 00:04, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

The article looks good so far. I'll try to help you out next week. --TantalumTelluride 04:09, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Deletion

You don't have to delete it, you can make a redirect if it has an article that is closely related. If you want I can take care of it.

Johann Wolfgang 03:00, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

You type in #REDIRECT [[Page name redirecting too]]


I see you figured out how to redirect. Happy editing!

Re:Songs

I got your message. The thing is though that I can only take your top ten, so your going to have to drop three, unless you want me to drop them. Oh and just to let you know, I'm probably not going to add them to the list until tomorrow. Thanks a lot. RENTASTRAWBERRY FOR LET? röck

Thank you for the welcome, helpful links, and advice. Btw, via which article history did you find me? A Stargate one, or one of my more random ones? MeekSaffron 23:16, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

A day ago? You plan Wikipedia things to do the next day? I guess not surprising for your volume of editing. :) MeekSaffron 23:27, 7 December 2005 (UTC)


?

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Is there something that isn't immediately apperent to me? If there is something in particular please tell me.

Johann Wolfgang 02:41, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

hmmm, I'll tell them to take it somewhere else, maybe to uncyclopedia. :)
Looks like I have something fun to do to wrap up my evening. They don't get the idea. ;)

thanks

Thanks for the award. I never dreamed I'd find so much time, but I'm completely obsessed with wikipedia! It's just so much fun. Mom2jandk 03:41, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

WikiProject Numismatics

Dear WikiProject Numismatics member:

You may have noticed the edits made by user:mom2jandk, and you may have also noticed that I have reverted most of them. I would like to leave this note as an explanation.

mom2jandk is a new user and a clearly enthusiastic member of WikiProject:Numismatics. However, he/she has made several changes (specifically to the categorization scheme) that I reverted for various reasons. Among them, he/she:

  • Created several other categories that either do not fit or fit awkwardly into the categorization scheme.
  • Nominated several categories for deletion, including United States Mint, United States Mint engravers, and others.
    • On the deletion vote for Cat:United States Mint, he seems to be confused as to the purpose of the category; it is, as I said, for articles relating to the government agency known as the United States Mint. There are mints in the United States that are not part of the United States Mint (i.e. the Franklin Mint) and his confusion over this fact seems to be the impetus for the nomination.
    • You might also notice that he nominated cat:Directors of the United States Mint; his explanation is that he broadened the category to "United States Mint officers" so that a Superintendent could be included. The "superintendent of the Mint" to which he referred was Roswell K. Colcord, who was superintendent of the Carson City Mint; there is no such office as "superintendent" for the entire United States Mint (or, if there is, it is distinct from Director of the Mint.)

After reading this fairly lengthy message, you might get the impression that I am attacking either mom2jandk or his/her edits; this is not the case. I have a great deal of admiration for him/her as a new user who is not afraid to jump in and try to improve Wikipedia and the Numismatics project. I hope he/she continues to contribute, and I believe he/she has a great deal to offer. This message is quite long because I wanted to explain the specifics of the categories (many of which, incidentally, were created by me.)

Note that I placed merge tags on most of mom2jandk's categories.

It goes without saying that, if there are any categories that should be altered and/or deleted, by all means make such changes, regardless of whether I or anyone else created them; neither I nor my edits are perfect.

Apologies for using he/she; I assume mom2jandk's user name reflects her role as a mother but I wasn't completely certain.

Thank you all and I look forward to continued work with you in the future. Paul 06:04, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello

I thought I'd share my 5000th edit with you. :). Merry Christmas!

Johann Wolfgang 05:38, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Searchme.

Here's your present! (belated, but nonetheless a nice present)---Johann Wolfgang 23:59, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Awwwwww,you shouldn't have :) Happy New Year now! First kiddie toys, then childish drunks. "Woohoo!" Joe I 00:16, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

HMLA-267

Joe, always good to have a helping hand. As I look at the # of pages that need to be created I have to admit the thought of doing it alone was a bit daunting. For the most part I have been taking from the official websites or globalsecurity{they just cut and paste from official sites]. Just make sure that you severly edit the history. Usually I remove all of the POV fluff and the unnecessary stuff about individual exercises they did over the years. I try to keep them to combat and big humanitarian missions, etc.... THe home page for 267 is [1] and the history can be found at [2]. A great page for the insignia is [3] and great photos can be obtained by searching through the official USMC archive. Hope this helps. Yut, Murph--Looper5920 21:42, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Good pick up on the USMC insignias. That website is a gold mine. Now comes the hard part of actually updating all of the Marines Corps info on this site.--Looper5920 02:10, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

My Request for Adminship

Greetings, Searchme! I wanted to sincerely thank you for voting in my RfA, which passed with a final result of 55/14/3. Your support means a lot to me! If you have any questions or input regarding my activities, be they adminly or just a "normal" user's, or if you just want to chat about anything at all, feel free to drop me a line. Cheers! —Nightstallion (?) 07:42, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Welcoming

I've responded to your message on my talk page. --TantalumTelluride 22:31, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I've responded again. --TantalumTelluride 23:02, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I was trying to keep this conversation in one place (on my talk page), but I'm now giving up. I've noticed a couple of ither things wrong with your welcome template. You should probably move it to User:Searchme/Welcome; the curly brackets, i.e. {{subst:User:Searchme/Welcome}}, will still substitute the text of the page. Then, use {{db}} to request that the original template be speedily deleted. Also, the Wikipedia logo, contrary to popular belief, is a copyrighted image and therefore should be used with discretion in the user and user talk namespaces. There is no enforced rule against using it in a welcome template, but doing so might come back to haunt you if you ever decide to request adminship or any other priveleges. If you need any help, just come by my talk page. --TantalumTelluride 23:35, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

On second thought, deletion probably won't be necessary. Just redirect the old page name to the new one. --TantalumTelluride 23:38, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
Be bold!

Sorry about all the confusion. I should have looked at your welcome template more closely the first time. Anyway, a good image might be m:Image:Be bold.png, which is licensed under the GFDL. --TantalumTelluride 03:00, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thank you for welcoming me to Wikipedia. I've been spending my time reading up on how to do things here. Your links helped me learn a lot about formatting. --Timize 16:15, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I would also like to show my gratitude for your welcome message. The basic tutorial gave me what I needed to get editing, but some of the links in your tutorial have proved very useful in honing my skills. Many thanks. Oh and before I forget, I was trying to keep these "thank-you" topics together, but there were so many I just posted on the bottom one. Maybe a helpful user could shuffle all the "thank-you" posts under one heading for him? -- Faded_Mantis 04:42, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

welcome

hi searchme, thanx for your welcome. --[[User:DLiebisch|Dirk [[User talk:DLiebisch|''&lt;°°&gt;'']]]] 12:57, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Apreciate the welcome a few weeks back, sorry for the late reply as I've been busy trying to help out with what little free time I have but ran into a few copyright problems that I wasn't aware of. Should be fixed with no problems and I'll be sure to avoid these issues in the future.

Take care.

Thanks

Thanks for welcoming me. I spend most of the time on Serbian Wikipedia, but I wanted to have user here, too. All the best, Srdjan Vesic 18:58, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi I was wandering if you could input your opinion about on this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Turkish_people#The_picture its all about the picture used to show Turkish people. Turkish users object to one of the people in the picture. But someother users seem to be enforcing this person to be in the picture. I have suggested just replacing him with someone who the Turks respect (mainly a woman as there are no women in this picture). DivineIntervention 02:39, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey

I'm 17, and have been studying numismatics since I was 7.

I know alot about them. I suggest we make an article on counterfeit coins. I can help. However, I don't know how to write it. Wikipedia is very hard for me to use. Perhasp I can tell you what to say?

Hi, how do I make my first Bold Change to an Existing Article?

The original author(s) indicate that someone is dead and a lawsuit was lost, I contend that he is alive and the lawsuit was won. So I first put my revisions in the talk page to see if it generates any discussion, before moving them to the real page. If you see any problems with my etiquette, perhaps you could let me know. The talk page is at: Talk:Crucifucks

Hello. I have an image of the British composer Ernest Farrar that I would be quite like to upload onto the page, and I was just wondering what the position of copyright is. He was killed in action in World War 1, so presumably the image is now in the 'public domain'. However, I thought I ought to clarify whether this is the case before uploading it, as I don't want to create a problem. What would you recommend? Thank you for your welcome, by the way. My talk page Rob 00:01, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Wow, have I started something?

Appreciate your interest and questions Joe. Ex uno disce omnes - given that I am referring to a plural of users is = From the following persons learn all persons or perhaps From these users can we judge the rest, I am of course prompting myself that your edits and that of the others are inclusionary, supportive, socratic (in terms of teaching) and worth spending a good deal of time on. VirtualSteve 22:45, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Dont forget talk pages :) Cool, well I appreciate it.  :) I'm really not good with flattery, but thnx :) Joe I 22:48, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Vanity

Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Jason Ward-recording engineer/producer may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. -Mysekurity 01:10, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Useful User

So I'm a "useful user", am I? It seems I'm in good company, mostly admins and bureaucrats. --TantalumTelluride 06:40, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

I always found myself tryin to find someone to answer questions for myself or a newbie, so I figured I'd do that, and yes, you have proved yourself knowledgeable and useful on occassion. :) Joe I 20:24, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you!

There are a lot of thank yous in your discussion page as I can see, it seems like ou are a really nice person. thank you for welcoming me to wikipedia when I first got here and for telling me where to go for the userboxes thing. thankx a lot really :D.--Cosmic girl 14:54, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Coins of Fiji

Hello Joe, since you want to delete the Fiji coinaage page, I'd better write some info then. But it will take a while as I also want to document all coinage of past civilizations like Axum coinage, Magadha, Kushan, Funan etc. This is hard as no one else is doing it either. Thankyou, please post reply to my talk page. I love mail. User:Enlil Ninlil 14:29 7 Februry 2006 (AEST)

P.S. Oh..and by the way i played the bass...:)

Just asking...

I just made my own page in Wikipedia, a temporary replacement of the Sandbox for when it was down (now it's back up, go figure) called Temporary Sandbox. I didn't want to delete it because of the AfD message after I put in a {{hangon}}tab in. I just wanted you to know, feel free to delete it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eric55673 (talk • contribs)

You can make your own sandbox to use at anytime you wish. Just make a page User:Eric55673/Sanbox, or whatever. That way you dont have to worry bout the other one goin down, and user pages are practilly invulnerable to deletes.  :) Joe I 00:56, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

or maybe even User:Eric55673/Sandbox :)

Thanks

Thanks for the note. I've been very busy, which has effectively stopped nearly all my editing. But I'm back now, and I'm just getting back in to the hang of things. See around. Johann Wolfgang 00:34, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment

Thanks for the comment on my signature. Square brackets are used around chemical formulas as a convenient way to indicate concentration in units of mol per litre. My signature, on the other hand, doesn't really need them anymore because some of the smart folks over at Esperanza figured out how to avoid confusion with the green e. Now, I've linked my green e to User:TantalumTelluride/Esperanza, which explains what the green e means and has links to both Esperanza and a number of my various user-space pages. I still changed the color of my signature to orange and blue. How do you like it? --TantalumTelluride 06:36, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I've got a draft of a new user page in my sandbox. Feel free to comment or even change it if you have any ideas. --TantalumTelluride 06:36, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

{commonscat|Coins}

Joe, as you asked I tried to move {commonscat|Coins} commonscat. I now moved it to the middle, which might help. I used the div command. Using tables would be an option too but that is more overhead of code. HenkvD 19:57, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Commemorative coins of the USSR

Hello! Thanks for your comment. Well, there are some pics of those coins in Wikipedia's Wikicommons: [5] (see "Anniversary coins" section there), although I think, most of the scans there are too dark.

Pictures of almost all coins (maybe except silver ones) are available through "external links" section of the article created by me. If you have difficulties navigating Russian language websites, here are direct links to gold coins' pics, here - to platinum coins' pics, here - to palladium coins' pics and here - to copper-nickel coins' pics. I don't know, which is their copyright status, but perhaps a couple of them could be uploaded at least under "fair use".

Personally, I have 12 copper-nickel coins: 1 ruble - Olympiad in Moscow Emblem (1977), 20th anniv. of Victory (1965), 30th anniv. of Victory (1975), 100th anniv. of Lenin (1970), 50 years of Soviet power (1965), Festival in Moscow (1985), Maxim Gorky (1988), Taras Shevchenko (1989), Gagarin (1981); 5 rubles - Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kiev (1988), 1000 years of Russia monument (1988), Monument to Peter the Great (1988). You can see, that first 5 of them already exist in "commons". When I have time, I'll scan the remaining 7 and probably do lighter scans of 5 existing ones.

I also have a great many of Soviet regular coins and some banknotes. Cmapm 23:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 36% for major edits and 99% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 00:00, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

tagging articles

I noticed that you've started tagging some articles. I got some time tonight, and updated my bot to tag articles. I'm testing it right now, so I'll be able to tag the articles easily soon (I'm going to take it slow with the bot until I'm sure it's working well and no one minds). So you don't need to spend your time on it (but thanks for all the work you've done so far). 24.206.178.76 03:30, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Re : Nomination for adminship for (aeropagitica)

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to vote for me in my recent request for adminship It ended with a final score of (40/10/5). I value all of the contributions made during the process and I will take a special note of the constructive criticism regarding interacting with users in the user talk space. If you have questions or requests, please leave a message.  (aeropagitica)  16:40, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your support in my RFA. The final vote count was (66/2/3), so I am now an administrator. Please let me know if at any stage you need help, or if you have comments on how I am doing as an admin. Have a nice day! Stifle 17:02, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

This user thinks it is ironic that thanks for supporting Cyde's successful RFA came in the form of a userbox.

I'm leaving this macrophage, a particularly hungry white blood cell on your talk page, I just finished a rewrite of its article and realized they're not so different from administrators, as they keep their surroundings clean, doing away with anything that's not supposed to be there...
Anyway, with that short lecture on cell biology done with, I'd like to thank you for your vote on my RfA, which passed with (49/2/0), I'll do my best to not let you down, and if you see me heading towards a common newbie mistake, please nudge me in the right direction :)

Hey Searchme/Archive 1, how is it going? Thank you for supporting my Request for adminship! It passed with a final vote of 73/1/1, which means that I have been granted adminship! I look forward to using these tools to enhance and maintain this wonderful site. I will continue regular article/project contributions, but I will also allocate a sizable portion of my wikischedule toward administrative duties :) Thanks again, and if you have any questions/comments/tips, please let me know! — Deckiller 04:25, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Re:Question?

I just now noticed the message you left at User talk:TantalumTelluride/Sandbox on 1 March 2006. I've put a redirect to my user talk page there now so that I won't miss any more messages. Anyhow, to answer your question, I'm about to create a subpage to list all of my subpages before I start losing track of them. It'll probably be at User:TantalumTelluride/Subpages. Thanks for your comments. --TantalumTelluride 21:23, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Numismatics Barnstar

New barnstar proposals have to be approved through Wikipedia:Barnstar and award proposals before they're accepted as official awards. Ironically, my past experience with the barnstar project hasn't left a good impression on me as far as civility and cooperation are concerned. They would probably dismiss a numismatics barnstar as too specific, although there really is no other barnstar that seems appropriate for the topic. I suppose we could propose a barnstar, and if it isn't approved, then we could sanction it through the Numismatics WikiProject or make it a personal user award. (I have a feeling that barnstar instruction creep is going to be the source of the next major conflict in the community. Remember what happened when people started applying too many rules to userboxes?) --TantalumTelluride 00:49, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Double Eagle

Joe-

That move was a while ago, but as I remember, I moved it because there is no such thing as a Double Eagle (that I know of) in any other context than a U.S. coin, therefore it did not need to be disambiguated with (U.S. coin) in the title. If it is widely agreed that the previous title was better, then by all means move it back; however, I was going for maximum simplicity. Regards, Paul 16:50, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Bot

It's working great for tagging articles in the simple case, and I think I got all articles that needed Numismaticnotice. I have to update it a bit to consider if the article already has Numismaticnotice and needs Exonumianotice. I also need to consider the categorization and maybe update it a bit so that orders and decorations are separate from awards (like movie awards). That in itself is not my idea of fun, and real life has gotten in the way recently, but I plan to get back to it soon. Thanks for the barnstar. Ingrid 23:50, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

RfA Results and Thanks

Searchme/Archive 1, thank you for supporting me in my recent RfA. Although it did not succeed as no consensus was declared (final: 65/29/7), I know that there is always an opportunity to request adminship again. If and when that day comes, I hope you will once again support me. If at any time I make any mistakes or if you would like to comment on my contributions to Wikipedia, you are more than welcome to do so. Regardless of your religious, cultural, and personal beliefs, I pray that whatever and whoever motivates you in life continues to guide you on the most righteous path.

Commercial links added to Wikipedia articles should be viewed with extreme skepticism. In 99.9% of cases the links should be deleted. Unless the links provide an authoritative and trusted reference on the subject and consist of original content (without unreasonable amounts of advertising), they should be removed. Links to blogs or discussion forums are almost never appropriate.

If you're wondering why I'm contacting you about this, please refer to this article: http://www.petertdavis.net/176-wikipedia-and-link-spammers-a-how-to-guide/

A thank you and a question

Joe - Thanks for your welcome note. I am still learning my way around Wikipedia and have a question. An edit (one which I appreciate) was made to a page I like. The history section shows an IP address but no name. I am not sure how to find out who this person was or why the change was made. Can you point me at the appropriate resource place on Wikipedia? Thanks! Kris

Kris, if it just shows an IP, then the person does not have an account with wikipedia, or was not signed on. You can leave a message on their talk page, as is more than likely the same person will use the same IP time after time. You can check this page, hopefully it'll have more for ya. If you still need help, gimme the link of the diff page that has the IP users edit, and I'll see what can be done. Joe I 00:33, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

I saw you corrected the Portuguese de ouro (=of gold), to duro, which means hard in Portoguese. (see [7], [8] and [9]).

Gold in Portuguese is ouro.

Question about e-mail

Joe - How do I e-mail an author who is registered on the site, or is that possible? I posted my question on his talk page, but I was the first person there and don't know if s/he checks that page. Is there a way for me to send my comment directly? Kris

Sure, at the upper portion of pages on the left side, find the frame right under the search bar and above the interwiki language thingies. If their preferences setting to allow e-mail is on, then there will be a "E-mail this user" link. :) Joe I 17:50, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Numismatics

Howdy, I slightly lightened the text-colour in the portal box-headers. It's still quite hard to read though, I'd suggest changing it further (I don't know what to). Yellow is a very difficult colour for text to appear in. Those "edit" links look basically like splotches to me. Thanks :) --Quiddity 21:37, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

hey, yeah, I had tried a few greens, and other silvers and golds, but those were the best I could find. I was using them for the "silver" and "gold" reason, being what most coins are made of. But if you can think of something that would work better, lemme know.  :) Joe I 20:39, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Interiot has a code that you can use to keep those smileys at the bottom of your talk page. See User:Interiot/talk bottom. (You'll have to click the edit tab to see it.) Follow the instructions between the <!-- --> tags on that page. That way, your footer will stay at the bottom of the page even if someone uses the action=edit&section=new thingy.

Hey, that'd be cool if you listed Image:Demand Note$.jpg for a featured picture. I don't know if it would be "accepted" by the Wikipedia community at large, however. Oh, I also wanted to say thanks for the positive support for the original image. It really meant a lot to me, especially since I nearly had to go to war with that one user.

As far as FOUREFFIGIES.jpg is concerned, the only thing I can think of is if it is significantly artistically changed/rearranged, would that change its copyright status?

Texas Portal

I notice you've done some maintenance/updating over at WP:Texas, which I've just discovered. I'm interested in maintaining it regularly (that is, at least take a *look* at it every day, but update it once a week or so with new news, "did you know"s, pictures, etc) if I can get someone else to go along too. Not sure how you popularize Portals, but it'd be nice to make it a really good resource that people know about..? I also recently started WikiProject Dallas though right now it's basically just a copy of WikiProject Texas before I get some time to do some heavy-duty work. I see your plate is pretty full with the things you contribute with.. I'm just hoping to get someone else to run with to keep things running smoothly. Let me know what you think.. drumguy8800 - speak 13:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey, no I don't mind the help or information, but I would appreciate it if things (for now) would continue to be in a orderly fashion. I posted the sections on the talk page.

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter
Issue III - May 2006
Project news
  • The various talk page banners used by the project have been consolidated into the main {{WPMILHIST}} template, which now adds extra notices based on various parameters. The older templates are currently in the process of being replaced.
  • The old manually-maintained worklist has been replaced with a new system that allows article ratings to be provided directly on the associated talk pages, feeding an automatically generated list. Nearly two thousand articles have already been assessed, and many more still need a rating!
  • Five new task forces have been started: Chinese military history, French military history, Memorials and cemeteries, Weaponry, and World War I.
  • A new structure for the list of project members has been introduced; to save space and improve legibility, any member with no edits for at least three months will be moved to a separate list of inactive members.
