I noticed when you updated the "politics" sections of the Nobles County city/township sites, you deleted the names of mayors and county commissioners I had placed in there. I assume these names were messing with the system you have for updating state and national representatives. Sorry if I was messing up your system. I put this info back in under a separate section entitled "local politics". I teach a local history class in which students use wikipedia basically en lieu of a textbook and would like this info online. Ray Lowry Ray.lowry (talk)

Hi, Ray...got your message on the mayors and county commissioners for Nobles County. Sorry about that! When I went through southwestern Minnesota and did a rapid update of the "Politics" section for each township and community, I used a generic template for the legislative district to replace the previous representation and I'm guessing I inadvertently deleted any additions made to the previous wording. Including the mayors and county commissioners is a great idea. I've noticed you've also added a great deal on Wikipedia on the history of Nobles County and its communities, which is fantastic. Wish we could find someone in every county who knows their local history and could expand the entries! SWMNPoliSciProject (talk) 11:21 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I figured happened. I made a separate section for local politics as I may eventually put in Township supervisors, town councils, and othewr semi-useless info. Like I said, I'm basically trying to create an online textbook for Nobles County for use in a local history high school class.

When editing a page: A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous versions: typographical corrections, formatting and presentational changes, rearrangement of text without modification of content, etc. A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. An edit of this kind is marked in its page's revision history with a lower case, bolded "m" character (m).

By contrast, a major edit is one that should be reviewed for its acceptability to all concerned editors. Therefore, any change that affects the meaning of an article is not minor, even if the edit concerns a single word; for example, the addition or removal of "not", which can change the meaning of a sentence, is a major edit.

Welcome to the project. --Kumioko (talk) 03:33, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for helping out with the Dan Kapanke article. Usually I would an entry from the Wisconsin Dictionary of History which is on the Wisconsin Historical Society website, However, there was no entries for Kapanke so I had to make do with the Wisconsin Blue Book. Thanks again-RFD (talk) 17:41, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

One comment-with articles about Wisconsin Legislators-I always try to introduce a citation from the Wisconsin Historical Society or the Wisconsin Blue Book itself. When these people leave office, their government issued web links become inoperable. Having citations from these types of sources is a good idea. I have done this with legislators from other states. Earl Eisenhower the younger brother of President Dwight Eisenhower is a good example. Earl Eisenhower was elected to the Illinois House of Representatuives for one term and I was able to find a biographical sketch of him in one of the Illinois Blue Books-Many thanks-RFD (talk) 11:38, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to you also as we work with others in maintaining and improving Wikipedia. I've had the same experience with links for politicians who leave office. Their active information links often become "dead" after a time, leaving us only more permanent--and sometimes more limited--sources to back up Wikipedia entry information. Thankfully, some states are getting better at creating more thorough online databases of information on previous office holders as the Internet expands, although there is still a long way to go. I have noticed that Wisconsin lags on this, and finding information on previous legislators can sometimes be challenging.SWMNPoliSciProject (talk) 15:01, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that; I was just coming here to undo it - it was a timing error with huggle. Apologies,  Chzz  ►  21:28, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi-I added background info-education, etc. to the Randy Hopper article. I had to use my copy of the 2009-2010 Wisconsin Blue Book since this is not online at the Wisconsin Historical Society. Please let me know what you think. Thanks-RFD (talk) 15:28, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings....looks great! I wish Wisconsin would follow Minnesota's initiative in putting and maintaining biographical information and other data on past sessions/legislators on line. The Wisconsin Legislature's website is still pretty sparse on details of past legislative activities and participants. As an aside, it looks like a few of the editors have it in for Randy Hopper relevant to the pending recall effort! Hopper's entry has been the subject of some pretty "furious" editing by new users and anonymous IPs the past couple of days. SWMNPoliSciProject (talk) 15:49, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I make use of the database the Minnesota Legislature has for their present and past legislators. I agree I wish Wisconsin would have one-Thanks-RFD (talk) 16:25, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings. I noticed that you are one of the few members of WikiProject United States Government that are still active so I wanted to ask you a question. It appears that this project is mostly inactive aside from what the members might be doing independently. I was considering suggesting that this project be pulled in under WikiProject United States and wanted to solicit comments from some of this projects members before doing so. As with Washington DC and the others the project would for the most part maintain its own independence but I believe this would benefit both projects. What do you think about this? --Kumioko (talk) 03:26, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I removed lots of the changes in the Lake Mills, Wisconsin article. I agree-several of the sections read like advertisements. Also external links were embedded within the article. I left a comment at the article talk page. Thank you-RFD (talk) 11:30, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi-would you please take a look at the Gaylord Nelson article? I added a section about his background to the article. The article itself is lopside in that it emphasized Governor Nelson atarting Earth Day in 1970 and does not mention his education, army career, being in the Wisconsin Senate or Governor of Wisconsin. Thank you-RFD (talk) 21:10, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings...I did look at Senator Nelson's entry. As I often do, once I start tinkering with an entry, I keep going for a while. I expanded your addition and also tried to re-format the entry as a whole so it is better organized. The entry needs further clean-up, referencing and expansion by anyone who wants to tackle it! The entry still says nothing about what he did as a state senator or as governor, and one could certainly expand on his service in the senate, his campaigns for re-election, etc. One of the ongoing challenges of Wikipedia is that there is always something to add or expand upon...indeed, the opportunities to add and develop are endless. Thanks for inviting my input; always glad to give my "two cents," and help out where I can. Feel free to do the same anytime! SWMNPoliSciProject (talk) 17:22, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, wondered if you might offer some perspective. I had gotten interested in Pine Ridge and made contributions to it and other related articles. You commented on my contributions at Janklow. 7mike5000, who initiated some of these and has done a lot of work, seems to resent my participation, as you can see by his comments at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. I was trying to contribute but perhaps should take my efforts elsewhere.Parkwells (talk) 18:45, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi...I can take a look at these entries in the days ahead and see what edits you have made, and what 7mike5000 is "faulting." I'd be happy to offer my "two cents" and support, where I can. Wikipedia is all about open and fair participation by and for everyone. I did read his comments on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation talk page, and he gives the impression that he feels a sense of ownership for the content of that entry, and for maintaining his edits without change. Of course, that's not what Wikipedia is about. No one "owns" or has priority rights to the content, format or editing of any entry. I also read your edits to the Pine Ridge entry, and they are a definite improvement. Again, I will take a look in the days ahead and add my thoughts and edits, at the risk of also incurring 7mike5000's wrath, I suppose. I hope you will continue to offer your input on these entries too. All these subjects are fascinating, to say the least.SWMNPoliSciProject (talk) 20:09, 01 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your encouragement - I have pointed out to him before that WP articles are open to everyone, which he doesn't much like. Still accused me of evil intentions, to put it simply. Agree that he seems very territorial - have also done gnome work, like adding punctuation, authors to articles and other cite corrections, which he doesn't bother to notice. Have already added a lot to the above articles.Parkwells (talk) 21:40, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your message. I like being on Wikipedia although I do get tired of the Wikidrama. There is one article you might be interested in Richard Cates. Cates was a lawyer from Wisconsin and served in the Wisconsin State Assembly. He was also one of the Watergate lawyers and served with Hilary Rodham Clinton our Secretary of State. He died last week and I decided to start an article about him. I should be doing more articles on Wisconsin legislators but I am getting burn out on politics-my state senator Dan Kapanke is up for recall tomorrow and I had been getting phone calls and campaign literature in the mail...sigh.

Hi SWMNPoliSciProject,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated)) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated)) will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

	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
