Capitalization
[edit]Concerning your recent edit in Modernism changing Late Modernism to Late modernism or rather a blue live link to an article; to a red dead link. It's actually causing harm, because the live links between articles are important. Please be aware. Thank you...Modernist (talk) 21:15, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
- You're absolutely right, of course. Most of the time the internal links don't behave case-senstitively, and I try to catch the few that do. I simply missed this one and have corrected it so that the list reads with correct capitalization but the link is still live. I haven't figured out yet why some links do this and most don't, so if you know and can fill me in I'm sure it will help me catch such errors in the future. Thanks for the help! W.stanovsky (talk) 22:12, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
No harm, thank you for fixing the link. I'll try to keep an eye out...Modernist (talk) 22:16, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
- In case you're interested, I managed to simplify it even further by moving the Late Modernism article to Late modernism, allowing instances of the internal link in the Modernism article to be correctly capitalized without need for piping.W.stanovsky (talk) 22:28, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Really?
[edit]I can't believe you actually did it. I think I got one in before getting boredlazy. Awesome work.

AfD nomination of Richard S. Schmidt
[edit]
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Richard S. Schmidt. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Richard S. Schmidt. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:44, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
You are now a Reviewer
[edit]
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 20:24, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion for WikiProject United States to support WikiProject Washington
[edit]It was recently suggested that WikiProject Washington might be inactive or semiactive and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States.

Please feel free to comment on your opinions about this suggestion. --Kumioko (talk) 01:42, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

DEFAULTSORT
[edit]Do not add a blank value for DEFAULTSORT as you did at Black Peak (Washington) and Lincoln Peak (Washington). That is the worst thing one can do for sort values. Unless it is a person, an article usually has no DEFAULTSORT at all. Bgwhite (talk) 04:48, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks. I was being bold and working from another mountain's wikitext (for which it did make sense to use a sortkey) and I just copied that in without really understanding the template. Now I've got it. W.stanovsky (talk) 20:48, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
Fooians
[edit]I removed the template as it brought nothing to the article. All the information nested therein was also in the categories. That template is of no great use, it's not in Robin Williams, Bill Engvall... other comedians. If there is a {{:comedians}} template or a {{:Norwegian-Americans}} template, or something that has actually to do with him, that would better serve the article.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 10:22, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
- Okay, there is a comedians template, that wasn't what I had in mind. Wow. LOL.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 10:24, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
- Okay, there is a Norwegian-Americans template, too. I'll keep looking. Ya learn something new every day...--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 10:26, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 15
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dillon S. Myer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New Republic. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:59, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

2019 US Banknote Contest
[edit].png){kind=logo}

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 | ||
