Hi, and welcome to the Biography WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of biographies.

A few features that you might find helpful:

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

  • Starting some new articles? Our article structure tips outlines some things to include.
  • Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every biography article in Wikipedia.

American Independant Party

I may be wrong but there is a national American Independant Party even if it is real small and I do believe the the Nevada affliate is a part of it. It has the same name. I know that it is a part of the Constitution party that is why I put it that way. Im just trying to make it correct and support the parties but I also heard that they left the constitution party along with some other states but I will leave that alone. If you want a good template for the constitution party click on this link. User:John R G/User Constitution Party John R G 06:56, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Note the Independent American Party and American Independant Party are two seperate parties. What I did was make the correction on the Independent American Party. Which the Nevada affiliate has the same name. That is confusing but I am just trying to make things correct. Check out this link [www.usiap.org] John R G 07:07, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I think you are right. Where I got mixed up is that the nevada affiliate has the same name as the Independant American Party but that does not mean that they are the same party so you are correct. Here is a link about the Nevada affiliate leaving the Constitution party. Now I do not know if it is official or not so I wont debate you on that I just wanted to show you. [1]. You will have to press refresh to read it. John R G 07:24, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I see you made the correction. Can you fix the second paragraph because it is not the American Independant party it is Independent American Party which is alot smaller if you look at their website at the bottom of the page. I will keep in touch and you can add the template that I told you about to your page. If you want to see it look at my home page. I will be back tommorrow. John R G 07:32, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Floyd Abrams - Speaking Freely

Hi, thanks for the message. I'm summarizing the entirety of this book. I am open to suggestions as to how to do that. Floyd Abrams argued each of these cases before their courts. I had a link to the the main article about the case because I will be a "See also" section in each that gives a perspective on the case, and history. But Mr. Abrams's. Each one I create will be relatively lengthy. I want law students and lawyers to find the discussion of strategy interesting, adding value. Besides, Mr. Abrams is a legal god in any sense, and has shaped almost any notion you have of the First Amendment, so I think he warrants the pages. I'm open to suggestions, though. It's an on-going project I hope to have in decent shape within a week. Thanks. --DavidShankBone 11:22, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Do you think a better title instead of Speaking Freely would be "Floyd Abrams on New York Times...."? Does that sound better? --DavidShankBone 11:40, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

You're right "See Also" would be much better. I see your point now. But I still think SCOTUS should stay in. --DavidShankBone 11:41, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

An argument that I should call them "Floyd Abrams on..." and then the case is it makes them more likely to be edited. If I keep the Speaking Freely, people may think they need to have read the book to edit the article. But I want people, if they happen across something about Floyd Abrams and the case he discusses, to feel free to add and change. Maybe a new law review article comes out analyzing an aspect of the case, etc. Or what other people said about his performance on the case. So it might make more sense to do the "Floyd Abrams on..." instead. Do you think? --DavidShankBone 11:56, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

The book itself is a memoir, so it's impossible to separate Floyd Abrams from the book. Look at the opening paragraph of the Floyd Abrams page and you'll see that he is also inextricably linked with these cases as well. In his review of the book, Lee Levine wrote "that the modern history of the freedom of the press in this country is intimately associated with the career and work of Floyd Abrams." That work is those cases. "Intimately associated" - so see, it's difficult to categorize the pages for that reason. What I envision for it, is Abrams word is very weighty and is worthy, by itself, to be Cliff Noted for people to get a sense of some of the inner workings of the Supreme Court and our system. It's a place to see technique, thoughts, musings, etc. But it can also be a discussion of Mr. Abrams himself in each of those cases, because his presence on a case is news in and of itself, and he has many critics out there, including those who consider him a traitor for the Pentagon Papers case. So these pages can be really cool things; more organic than one-dimensional. The subject merits that. --DavidShankBone 12:14, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

SCOTUS

Please don't remove the SCOTUS info template from the page, because it is relevant. After all, it was Abrams and Bickel's language the Supreme Court adopted in the very opinion and rule of law represented in that box. It acts more like the "Watergate Infobox" as a common tie between certain pages. The problem is that each page will be lengthy in itself, and I'd rather set the design of each. I work pretty quickly to get them to not be an embarassment, and each page has a lot of value already. But I like the SCOTUS infobox as a common thread between pages about the same case. You don't agree? --DavidShankBone 11:36, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Pentagon Papers Photo

You can take it out if you want; I had planned on making it relevant. I had to finish Evan Wolfson's bio first before turning more attention to working the counsel into the arguments. By the way, how do I get the SCOTUS infobox to carry the name of the counsel who argued? They are just as important to the case as the justices. --DavidShankBone 12:36, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Are you in law school?

Do you know anything about law, and how lawyers and law students use Wikipedia? Because I do, because I recently finished my second year. Why don't you give me some time to finish what I'm doing. I thought I made it clear to you above that I planned to have it finished in a week. You're jumping the gun here. --DavidShankBone 12:58, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

America First Party (2002)

Hello I have an idea but I do not know how to do it. There is a template at the bottom of the Constitution party page with a list of parties. I think it would be great to add the America First Party as a smaller party. They are basically like the Constitution Party. I would appreciate your imput. John R G 19:00, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

By the way I did some clean up on America First Party (2002). I hope it meets your standards. John R G 06:57, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Just wanted to let you know that your project is listed in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. And one other problem. For a project page to remain a project page, it has to have had activity in the last three months (this one does) and have listed members. Right now, this one has no listed members. You might want to add a section for members and put yourself in. Keep up the great work. Badbilltucker 17:37, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Image:S Pederson 02 04 075.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:S Pederson 02 04 075.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok 16:38, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies

Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of [unassessed articles] tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 22:59, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikiproject Narnia Newsletter March 2007

WikiProject Narnia Newsletter
Issue 1 - 2nd March 2007 . Written by User:Sp3000 (talkcontribs)
WikiProject Narnia News
  • The WikiProject has been a little quiet lately. There are still quite a lot of Narnia stubs. It has been nearly three months since we last worked on Minor characters in The Chronicles of Narnia, which still looks very much like a draft page. That would be a nice article to get into the main namespace.
Good and Featured Articles
Other news
  • WikiProject Narnia's first newsletter issue has been published. You're looking at it right now!
Member News
To-do
  1. Add characters and bios to minor character draft page.
  2. Expand Narnia stubs.
  3. Link the first mention of a year in all Narnia-related articles to Narnian timeline.
  4. Rewrite character articles to use the Narnian character example article format.
  5. Adopt an article and improve it to the best of your ability.
  6. Wikify The Chronicles of Narnia article, especially the new lead and Narnian Universe sections
From the founder

I am proud to present our first issue of the WikiProject Narnia Newsletter. I decided that we needed to alert everybody who had expressed interest in the project that there is much work to be done! Please check in every once in a while at the project talk page, and tell other project members what you've been up to in terms of Narnia articles.

Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c ||

Article of the Month: Edmund Pevensie
  • Edmund Pevensie is a major character in The Chronicles of Narnia. He appears as a principal character in three of the seven books. Edmund was the second to enter Narnia, although he tried to betray his siblings to the White Witch. However, Edmund managed to help save Narnia by neutralizing the White Witch's most powerful weapon, her wand.
Collaboration of the Month: Shasta (Narnia)
  • Shasta is currently quite short and not much of his background has been mentioned. The article also lacks images – but make sure if you upload one, you include a FU rationale. Contribute!

Honorable

Tim4Christ17

I basically rewrote the section o the American usage for "honorable." It probably needs Wikifying. I did cite multiple sources and tried to show the differences, especially in the local government level.

If you could, please look at it and improve it.

If you are Halvorson, Welcome! (And if not, Welcome anyway!) I'd be glad to start an article for you. While you can generally just create articles, it is best not to start the article on yourself. If you intend to edit/watch the article after it is created, you may wish to review our conflict of interest rules. – Philosopher Let us reason together. 06:12, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
 Done. You can find the article at Rod Halvorson. Since I used his General Assembly page (data from the Iowa Official Register) as my source, the information in the article stops in 1999. Still, a good start and a solid base for others to expand on. – Philosopher Let us reason together. 08:13, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

WikiCup 2017 July newsletter

The third round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 288 points being required to qualify for round 4. It was a hotly competitive round with all but four of the contestants exceeding the 106 points that was necessary to proceed to round 4 last year. Coemgenus and Freikorp tied on 288, and both have been allowed to proceed, so round 4 now has one pool of eight competitors and one of nine.

Round 3 saw the achievement of a 26-topic Featured topic by MPJ-DK as well as 5 featured lists and 13 featured articles. PanagiotisZois and SounderBruce achieved their first ever featured articles. Carbrera led the GA score with 10, Tachs achieved 17 DYKs and MBlaze Lightning 10 In the news items. There were 167 DYKs, 93 GARs and 82 GAs overall, this last figure being higher than the number of GAs in round 2, when twice as many people were taking part. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.

As we start round 4, we say goodbye to the fifteen or so competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).

If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
