Former Marine

I created an entry for Former Marine. Can you take a look and leave me some feedback? DBBell 18:39, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. I made some edits. —Kenyon (t·c) 22:52, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Five paragraph order

Certainly, I'll make some edits if you start it. I haven't been too active here lately, since school started again. —Kenyon (t·c) 17:10, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Portal:United States Marine Corps

Just opened a USMC Portal and could use some help if you have the chance. Thanks in advance.--Looper5920 07:52, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This link Retention Chart will show you the retention rates through the 90's as a historical reference. USMC definetly on the bottom. They may not suffice though since alot of thing are different with OIF and OEF. I believe your statement to be correct but it may prove difficult to cite.

I agree with your assessment and have removed it. It was not in my original version of it, and I can't confirm or refute it. DBBell 15:26, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

William L. Whittaker category

You recently added the category [[Category:United States Marine]] to William L. Whittaker's article. I did not find a reference in the article to Marine Corps service. Would you please include a reference? Thanks. —ERcheck @ 11:10, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please update your status with WP:VG

Dear WikiProject Video games member,

You are receiving this message because you have either Category:WikiProject Video games members or {{User WPVG}} somewhere in your userspace and you have edited Wikipedia in the recent months.

The Video games project has created a member list to provide a clearer picture of its active membership.

All members have currently been placed in the "Inactive" section by default. Please remove your username from the "Inactive" listing and place it under the "Active" listing if you plan on regularly:

Editing video game-related pages in the Article namespace
Participating in video game-related discussions in the Project namespace (WT:VG, WP:AfD, WP:GAN, etc.)

Ideally, members are encouraged to do both, but either one meets our criteria of inclusion. Members still listed inactive at the beginning of November 2009 may be removed. You may re-add yourself to the active list at any time. Thank you for your help, and we look forward to working with you.

Pittsburgh event for Wikipedia's tenth anniversary

Hi! Since you're listed as a Wikipedian in Pittsburgh, I wanted to invite you to the Wikipedia Tenth Anniversary celebrations we're having in Pittsburgh on Saturday, January 15. During the daytime, we're going to be having a photo contribution drive where anyone can bring in their digital photos or prints and Wikipedians will teach people how to upload them and add them to articles, and maybe introduction to Wikipedia workshops as well. Then in the evening, we'll have fun at the Carson City Saloon. There will be free Wikipedia t-shirts and other goodies, as well. See the Pittsburgh meetup page for more details. I hope to see you there!--ragesoss (talk) 15:07, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop at CMU (Aug 15)

Since you are one of the editors in the Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Carnegie Mellon University, I'd like to invite you to the Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop that will take place at CMU on Aug 15 (this workshop is open to general public, and is a joint imitative of CMU and Pitt). There will be another workshop held at Pitt in the Fall as well. It will cover how to include Wikipedia in one's course (WP:SUP) and also how to become a Wikipedia:Campus Ambassadors. Pennsylvania has currently only one ambassador (myself) and it would be great if we could recruit at least several more. Ambassadors help course instructors, showing them how Wikipedia works, and interact with students. Many current ambassadors come from the body of students, faculty and university staff; it is a fun adventure, and adds to one resume/CV, to boot :) If it sounds interesting, feel free to ask me any questions, or to come to the workshop.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 20:12, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
