Fox in Supreme Court

I'm relatively certain your story about a fox entering the Supreme Court is not true. It was unsourced, and a google search gave no results regarding the incident. I'm removed the story until you can source this claim from a reputable source. Zelmerszoetrop (talk) 00:53, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Response: The story is absolutely true. It happened on a Sunday; I believe the date was January 13, 2002 (absolutely certain of the weekend and year). I was physically in the building on the following Monday and Tuesday. Monday, tours of the building were canceled and access to many areas was restricted because several hallways were blocked off. Reputable source: That Tuesday's USA Today (1/15/2002?), print edition, page 3-A (as printed in the Washington DC market, at least), carried the story.

Try this link. I went to the USA Today website, clicked on Site Map, then Archives, then entered "Fox" (minus the quotes) in the Search box, and narrowed dates to 1/14/2002 to 1/18/2002. You will find the entry on the second screen. Headline: "Sly intruder infiltrates Supreme Court".

I would appreciate your restoring my entry. Thank you. Typofixer76 (talk) 18:48, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pittsburgh event for Wikipedia's tenth anniversary

Hi! Since you're a member of WikiProject 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) 14:38, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:58, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Pittsburgh activity

Wikipedia:WikiProject Pittsburgh is rolling out some new features (see our discussion at WT:PITTSBURGH). We are also trying to determine how many members are active. If you could go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Pittsburgh/Members and move your name from inactive to the active or semi-active group (depending on your interest in Pittsburgh issue and overall activity) groups, this would be great. Hopefully in a near future you'll also receive our first newsletter with various information on what we have been doing, and what useful tools are available. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 19:57, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Foxes and Fossils (November 8)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dan arndt was:

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:MUSICBIO - YouTube, Faceboook, MixCloud are not acceptable sources. Smyrnacable.net is a dubious source. Interviews and the band's webpage are primary sources and therefore not independent.

COI concern

Per WP:COI, please diclose if you have any associations with the Foxes and Fossils band, production, its members, friends/family, fan club, etc. There seems to be a lot of details in the article that seem to be from an insider's point of view. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 17:15, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am not a member of the band, never have been, never have physically met any band members, and have no formal association with them. I am only a fan, albeit a well informed one. I do contribute to them on Patreon, which does give me some advance notice of coming videos, but this has nothing to do with the history I've put together here. All my references to date have been publicly available sources, notably the American ABC News network, who invited them to perform a theme song, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the major daily newspaper in Atlanta, Georgia, which interviewed them a couple times. Much info came from comments on their videos, some of the exchanges being with band members. A couple of the links are to ISPs which have since been absorbed by others. I'm trying to locate a video of the predecessor band The Mustangs performing at the 1996 Summer Olympics, for example. As to the fan club, it is fan-run on Facebook, and apart from being an early joiner, I have no association with that, either. Typofixer76 (talk) 00:09, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
