Humboldt, IA

You'd be surprised how much people actually care. How about you stop judging a community before you actually know the truth of what's happening there. It helps. I understand the players. But a lot of people do care about incoming classes from HMS to the HHS. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Saathoff37 (talk • contribs) 02:16, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Davenport, Iowa

What kind of pictures would you like me to add? The city is at my disposal. Also, I still haven't seen you contribute positively to the article!! Ctjf83 22:16, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Well you've been here, i think....anything specifically that you think i should take a picture of? Ctjf83 04:33, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

I appreciate it, most people argue with me or revert my edits, or delete my comments if I try to make a change to racial or ethnic demographic information, even though I use the same information the US Census uses. Some of the names are more or less the same (such as Native American, or the US Census says "American Indian or Alaska Native", I don't change demographic information like that, because while I disagree with the usage of the term Native American, it is what is considered politically correct. Substituting European for White is just plain in accurate. My ancestry itself comes from Europe, the Middle East, and North America. The only thing I am that is not White is American Indian. Anyways, just glad you appreciate it. Oh yeah, I thought I would tell you, if someone deletes your comments, then that is considered vandalism, though people always do it to me.Iamanadam (talk) 03:41, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

I moved this discussion here, to your talk page, because it's moved beyond Anderson. It's hard to steer a straight course through the waters of political correctness, that's for sure. I prefer plain speech as well. The one thing that I would recommend is that the first time you make a change like that, use an edit summary like "changing to census terminology" or something, and perhaps only go to the talk page if you get reverted. Edit summaries are really useful to people outside of the discussion. Cheers, Darkspots (talk) 12:54, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

McClellanville, South Carolina

Hello, I noticed you added Mc Clellanville to the list of SC Cites. By the article McClellanville, South Carolina it is considered a town and is already listed on List of towns in South Carolina.

I see you are a member of the wikiproject South Carolina. Have you seen the Portal:South Carolina that I created a week or so ago? I could use some help expanding it and making it better. Later, Rocketmaniac (talk) 17:22, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Towns and Villages

I just saw your note on my user talk page - I made the municipality lists several years ago, using census data and the definitions they provided for each place. Since it's been so long since I did made the pages, I'm not sure of the exact file I used, but it was probably something like [1], which lists both towns and cities for Georgia. Bamos (talk) 21:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

It's up to you if you'd like to change it. Like I said, I put up those pages a long time ago (I can't believe I've been a Wikipedian for 4 years), so I've stopped watching them. Bamos (talk) 04:15, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Iowa

Hey, I'm working on getting Iowa up to a GA. The Iowa project is pretty much dead, with the exception of Iowahwyman, who actually hasn't edited in a few weeks. So would you like to help me get it up to a GA? Ctjf83 ^talk 07:00, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm saw your response, but then you apparently deleted it? Ok, I'm headed out for now, but I'll be back later and we can discuss stuff about the article. If you wanna go through, and do general clean up, that would be great! Ctjf83 ^talk 19:54, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Invitation

The Tower (song)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article The Tower (song), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of What is a Juggalo?

A tag has been placed on What is a Juggalo? requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
• disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

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
