I noticed that you added a list of these to the list of state parks. Could you add a source for that to the article? I was never able to find a list of the forests myself. Rmhermen 17:24, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I also noticed this, but didn't get a chance to look into it enough to form an intelligent question. I think that many of the items added to the list should be identified as State Forest Camp Sites or State Forest Campgrounds. I don't think they are necessarily "state forests" by themselves. older ≠ wiser 13:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, Frankie816. I saw your edits to a couple of viper articles (they're on my watchlist). That's fine with my, but just make sure you know what you're doing. For example, in Eristicophis you wlinked "nasorostral" to Ocular (scale). That is incorrect. In reptiles, the nasorostral is the enlarged, usually paired, scale just behind the rostral scale. It corresponds to the mental scale on the lower jaw (Mallow et al., 2003).
Actually, if you're really interested in snake scales, you could give User:AshLin a hand. He's created a relatively new article, Snake scales. It contains general information, but it also links to a number of smaller articles with information with information on specific scales. This all needs to be expanded, plus it would be great if diagrams and pictures were added to them as well. Eventually, it would be nice to link all of the scale info in the viper articles to those individual snake scale articles, but considering their current embryonic state, it may as yet be a little early for that. --Jwinius 19:40, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure all those suburbs of Sydney you're tagging as Towns in New South Wales are in fact towns? Last time I visited Randwick, New South Wales it was considered a suburb of Sydney and not a town unto itself. -- Longhair\^talk 01:20, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There's a government published gazette of place names online defining towns and cities of Australia. I can't seem to find it right now but it's definitely available. Suburbs in Australia aren't really considered a town as such. I assumed you were local Aussie :) -- Longhair\^talk 01:34, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you are going to make major changes, pLease do some research if you are familiar with the topic you are dealing with. Removing "towns" from Sydney suburbs is a lot of reverting. "Sort of considering" is not really good enough IMO. (and others might start grumbling about Americans once again "assuming" (to use your words) that the whole world is just like America - but i wouldn't grumble about that, I am too polite). [1] :-) But i suppose categorising all NSW towns (ie, out of metro areas) is a good thing as long as it is done correctly. I am surprised it hasn't been done before. Merbabu 01:45, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I've just noticed, those that are Sydney suburbs are already categorised as such. So as you do the towns, just make sure it's not a SYdney (or other city's) suburb. :)Merbabu 01:52, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Geoscience Australia has their Place Name Search (formerly known as the Gazetteer) but this only defines locations such as towns or suburbs as "Bounded Localities". This is irrelevant though as the Geographical Geographical Names Board of New South Wales is the official body with juristiction over place names in NSW and they also offer a name search. This does distinguish a suburb as distinct from other geographical features such as towns, which puts the issue to bed. Frankie816... it's been said, but it would be a really good idea to check with a local before making hundreds of changes based on a premise that does not apply to this region. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rob.au (talk • contribs) 05:25, 27 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

A rough test (but by no means comprehensive) is the postcode (check on http://www.auspost.com or in the article) - if it is between 2000 and 2234, it is almost definitely a suburb (and is safe to assume it is). If it is not, it is far less likely to be (some exceptions exist - anything around 2550-2560 or 2760-2770 should be checked). Low 2500s are suburbs of Wollongong, anything between 2250 and 2320 could be a suburb of Newcastle or the Central Coast. Anything else is probably a town. There are some notable exceptions but that covers about 98% of cases. Orderinchaos78 09:57, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Most of the articles about islands in Australia are organised into subcategories within Category:Islands of Australia according to States and Territories. As these are subcategories within Cat:Islands of Aust, there isn't a need to put them in both. It will result in the parent category being very cluttered. Before re-categorising everything, it might be an idea to post a message at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Australian places. Cheers. -- Adz|talk 01:34, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will repeat the comments of Adz and ask you to stop adding islands sorted into useful categories into a larger super category. It is not helpful. --Peta 04:06, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion.

You have added some inappropriate links in Tangail article.But most them of are in red link and there is no need to keep those red links. Some of them indicates the Indian cities (e.g.Madhupur, Mirzapur and Gopalpur) which are not relevant to the Tangail article. Thank you nahid _Talk 2007-01-21

• I am writing regarding your addition of links to the villages in the Khanlar Rayon article on 17 January 2007. While those listed are important villages, as opposed to the dozen or so other unlisted villages, it is unlikely that they will have (or need) a Wikipedia article on their own. Unless you are planning to write an article or know that one is in process, it is best to leave unlinked places that are unlinked, rather than leaving them with redink. --Bejnar 19:42, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16. The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions. (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.)

The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided. (The full schedule can be found here.)

The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things. If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify.

If you're interested, please send John Broughton an email. If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note on his user talk page, so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.

Hi there...thank you so much for taking a look at the Conservation biology page. I was so surprised to see how little had been accomplished when I started working on this project. I'm very excited to find someone who can help to improve this page. I am working on Ecology at the moment, but intend to come back to conservation biology and improve things.

This will be a museum touring and partying meetup, so no excuses about being a shy newbie this time. Bring a friend too!

1. At WikiXDC in January, User:Harej proposed that DC submit a bid to host Wikimania 2012. A bid and organizing committee is being formed and seeks additional volunteers to help. Please look at our bid page and sign up if you want to help out. You can also signup for the bid team's email list.
2. To support the Wikimania bid, more events like WikiXDC, and outreach activities like collaborations with the Smithsonian (ongoing) and National Archives, there also has been discussion of forming Wikimedia DC, as an official Wikimedia chapter. You can express interest and contribute to chapter discussions on the Wikimedia DC Meta-Wiki pages.
3. To discuss all this and meet up with special guest, Dutch Wikipedian User:Kim Bruning, there will be a meetup, Wikipedia:Meetup/DC 16 this Tuesday at 7pm, at Capitol City Brewery, Metro Center. There will be a pre-meetup Wikimania team meeting at 6pm at the same location.

Apologies for the short notice for this meetup, but let's discuss when, where & what for DC Meetup #17. Also, if you haven't yet, please join wikimedia-dc mailing list to stay informed. Cheers, User:Aude (talk)

The first ever WikiProject National Archives newsletter has been published. Please read on to find out what we're up to and how to help out! There are many opportunities for getting more involved. Dominic·t 21:23, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The WikiProject National Archives Newsletter July 2011 News Featured article contest This week, our first multilingual featured article contest was announced. We are aiming to improve the articles on the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, or Bill of Rights to featured or good status in English and other languages. Prizes for winners will be a gift package from the National Archives including a book of your choice or a tote bag, and other swag, plus, of course, a special barnstar. August 6 backstage pass Plans are in the works for a meetup and backstage pass event at the National Archives II facility in College Park, MD. There will be a regular social meetup, a discussion with Dominic about WP:NARA, a tour of the building by NARA staff, and then time for a scanathon and editathon in the research rooms and library until the building closes at 5 pm. Keep your schedules open! From our recent uploads: ...see more. Special requests: This section includes special requests from the NARA staff: Archival Recovery Team The National Archives' Archival Recovery Team (ART) is a team of law enforcement agents and archivists who investigate NARA's lost and stolen documents. They have received media attention ([2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]) and would like to request an article be written for the team, if Wikipedians deem it notable. It is hoped that making more information about the group available on Wikipedia will increase public awareness of the documents they are seeking to recover. Ongoing Today's Document challenge The Today's Document challenge is an opportunity for Wikipedians to get their work related to National Archives holdings spotlighted on Archives.gov and the National Archives' tumblr. Each day the National Archives selects a document related to the day's date to showcase. The goal is to get articles related to the selected documents on the main page in ""Did You Know...?" the same day that the National Archives features the document. Alternatively, other appropriate articles related to National Archives holdings not already selected will be used for new documents of the day by NARA staff and posted to their tumblr. Wikisource WP:NARA has a sister WikiProject on Wikisource, WS:NARA. On Wikisource, editors transcribe, proofread, and arrange documents. This helps to make little-known documents more discoverable, or well-known documents more searchable, and improves accessibility. See the files being worked on. If you are new to Wikisource and would like to participate, there are experienced Wikisourcerors willing to be mentors. New contributions A list of some recent contributions to the project: Wikipedia District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act (Fetchcomms) Court of the Patriarchs (CutOffTies) Opposition to the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom (Fetchcomms) Wikisource1 Memorial of Queen Liliuokalani in relation to the Crown lands of Hawaii Petition from women of Brookline Resolutions of the Joint Committee on the Washington Monument H. R. 4982 A Petition For Universal Suffrage Susan B.

We are working on a bulk upload to Commons of one particular cache of about 123,000 TIFF master files in the next few days! Once uploaded, these will require a massive community effort to help categorize the files on Commons and add them to articles on Wikipedia or transcribe them on Wikisource. Inclusion in the online catalog We are currently working on a system for including links to pages on Wikimedia projects in the National Archives online catalog. The Wikimedia projects are hosting an increasing number of transcriptions of National Archives documents and high-quality image and video files that are not available through NARA's own site. Links to these Wikimedia pages in the documents' actual catalog records will benefit the end user by providing them access to further resources about the documents, and they will also demonstrate the National Archives commitment to supporting Wikimedians' efforts.

Hi Frankie!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

Hi. When you recently edited Top Chef (season 6), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Reuben and Thousand Island (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

The event is being held on multiple days, and in the evenings and weekend, so that as many locals and out-of-towners from nearby regions1 as possible can come. Please join us!
