Everything in that article is what I could source based on extensive research at the time I wrote it. I didn't find anything about the "extensive changes half a century earlier" ... this is, in fact, the first time I've ever heard of that. If you have some sources on that, please share.

As for the 2011 proposed regs, I thought it was significant that despite everyone admitting this is a problem, extensive regs were dropped by the administration with the unusual caveat that they would never consider this again. I'm a little surprised at this "if they don't have any permanent effect, we shouldn't mention it" thing; in a lot of articles about ongoing issues we have mentioned significant yet failed governmental efforts to address them. Do we not write about FDR's "court-packing" plan because it didn't pass?

Lastly, at the time I wrote it I did look and see if any other countries ag departments/ministries had something about this; I didn't find any (I took another look specific to Canada, and yes there is something now, but there wasn't back in 2014, really).

I am somewhat puzzled by the tone of your edit summaries ... this is not like you. Daniel Case (talk) 15:13, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

In August 2019, the Arbitration Committee resolved to open the Palestine-Israel articles 4 arbitration case as a suspended case due to workload considerations. The Committee is now un-suspending and commencing the case.

• The primary scope of the case is: Evaluating the clarity and effectiveness of current remedies in the ARBPIA area. More information can be found here.
• Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 4/Evidence. The evidence phase will be open until 18 October 2019 (subject to change).
• You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 4/Workshop. The workshop phase will be open until 25 October 2019 (subject to change).
• For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.

	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

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect JNQXAC9IVRw. Since you had some involvement with the JNQXAC9IVRw redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Steel1943 (talk) 02:47, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Because of the nature of the Palestine-Israel articles 4 arbitration case and the importance of the exact wording of remedies, the Arbitration Committee would like to invite public comment and workshopping on the proposed decision, which will be posted soon. Accordingly, the workshop in this case is re-opened and will remain open until Friday, December 13. To opt out of further announcements, please remove yourself from the notification list.
