Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you.

Please do NOT engage in an edit war by decontenting existing articles. - Lucky 6.9 02:25, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for getting back to me. I'd just hate to see you get off on the wrong foot...or feetsinker. :^) Anyway, welcome to the club. Take a look-see at the Wikipedia:Manual of style and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. If those don't answer your questions, feel free to leave word on my talk page like you just did. Again, welcome to the Wacki Wiki, as I like to call this crazy site. The reason I like to call it that is probably because I'm pretty stupid. - Lucky 6.9 02:34, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Your new user page!

Hello again. I moved the personal info on your club to your brand-new user page. That's the place where you can talk about yourself to your heart's content. Oh, and please don't remove speedy-delete tags. Even though the original article will be deleted, it'll remain on your user page. - Lucky 6.9 02:38, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

You're cool! - Poppyhaitian

Thanks for the compliment! Regarding your question, you might want to drop a line to Jimbo Wales. He's the founder of the site. Just click on the blue link and then on "E-mail this user" to contact him. Just remember to put something about Wikipedia in the subject line. There's also a site called "Wikinerds" that takes anything and everything that Wikipedia doesn't. It's a lot smaller than Wikipedia and, quite possibly, a lot more fun in regards to talking about your club. Good luck! - Lucky 6.9 02:46, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I've listed Robert McMallin and Image:RobertMcMallin.jpg for review for deletion. --Alexwcovington (talk) 10:34, 1 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:Velva2.gif

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Velva2.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

WPND

Wikipedia:WikiProject North Dakota is official! Sort of. Lot of cleanup needed on the project page and plenty of work to do making a decent to-do list, etc. etc., but it all starts somewhere. Thanks for all your help! --AlexWCovington (talk) 05:30, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

MatthewUND's RfA

I just self-nominated myself for administrator's status on Wikipedia. As an active member of WikiProject North Dakota, I feel that having admin status would allow me the ability to be more useful to the project and to curtail vandalism and other problems. An admin is able to protect pages that are being bombarded with vandalism and to more quickly revert pages that have been vandalized. I've always hoped that we could get an admin to join the WikiProject so we would have someone to turn to in times of need. Since we still don't have an active admin within the project's membership, I decided to nominate myself. I really hope you will visit my request for adminship and support me. Thanks! --Matth e wUND^(talk) 10:47, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

-Assessments-
An intial round of assessments was recently done on all pages within the scope of WPND. These initial assessments...all 1,200+ of them...were done by MatthewUND. Matthew tried to generally follow the assessment guidelines found at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment.

To see the assessment of any North Dakota page, simply go to the page's talk page and check the WPND banner. The assessment is presented in a color-coded field in the WPND banner. To change an assessment, edit the page and change the word after "class=" in the WPND banner. Add one of the following codes:

Stub - for very small articles

Start - for slightly longer, higher quality articles

B - for high quality articles of an appropriate length

List - for lists

Cat - for categories

Template - for templates

NA - for pages that are not articles, templates, or categories

Any WPND member should feel free to change any page's assessment. However, keep in mind that there are assessments (particularly GA for "Good Article" or FA for "Featured Article") which can't be applied without having gone through a nomination process.

---North Dakota Portal---
Wikipedia now has a new portal devoted exclusively to the state of North Dakota. Check out Portal:North Dakota.

WPND member NDCompuGeek has constructed the initial framework for the portal and it should now be easy to update the portal on a month-by-month basis. The portal will serve as a kind of "front door" for people using Wikipedia to learn more about North Dakota. It is a great starting point for branching out into the many aspects of the state.

Each month a different article, picture, city, and biography will be showcased along with current news and happenings from around the state. The July version of the portal showcases the Mandan tribe, Governor John Hoeven, and the capital city of Bismarck.

Visit the portal's talk page to share your opinions and ideas regarding the portal.

The WikiProject North Dakota newsletter is a work in progress so please share your ideas about how the newsletter can be improved.

New North Dakota articles

News
---Grand Forks now a Featured Article---
Grand Forks, North Dakota was recently designated as a Featured Article. This means that the article has gone through a nomination process in which it was reviewed and its quality was assessed. The fact that this article made it through the process shows that it is a high quality, well-written, well-sourced article. Currently, there are only a little over 1,500 Featured Articles in the almost two million articles on the English language Wikipedia. That means that only about one in 1,270 articles has been given this designation.

The Grand Forks article is a great example to follow when working on other city articles, particularly those about North Dakota cities. We would be very well off if our other major city articles were similar to the Grand Forks article. Keep the Grand Forks article bookmarked and refer to its structure and style when you work on similar articles.

---New assessment parameter---
You're likely aware that all WPND articles now include a quality rating located on the article's talk page. Now, a new assessment parameter is being implemented. The importance rating aims to gauge the "importance" of the article's subject as it relates to North Dakota. As an example, Bismarck, North Dakota would not be considered as being very important in relation to the country or the world, but it is of top importance when considering just the state of North Dakota.

The importance of each article is gauged as either Top, High, Mid, or Low. Since "importance" is a rather subjective term, some WPND members are trying to come up with a general set of guidelines. Check out this thread on the WPND talk page to see proposals and to share your own opinions of what is and isn't "important" in the state.

The WikiProject North Dakota newsletter is a work in progress so please share your ideas about how the newsletter can be improved.

Contribution in the devloppment of haitian creole wiktionary

Kontribisyon nan pwojè Dikyonè an

Bonjou,

Mwen administratè nan wikipedya ak wikisource ayisyen.

Mwen ap kontinye pwojè wiksyonè kreyòl Ayisyen (haitian creole wiktionary) nan adrès sa a :

http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/wt/ht

Pou pwojè sa a valide konplètman, nou bezwen ke ou ede nou kreye vokabilè yo epi definisyon yo. Yo te mèt senp, se pa anpil bagay. Administratè yo vle wè ke pwojè sa a kapab bout toutbon.Mwen ap diskite ak gwo toro Steward ak administratè yo pou yo ouvè yon Wiktionary toutbon nan paj sa a : http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wiktionary_Haitian_Creole

Mwen mande nou sèlman edite chak fwa nou vini, yon ti mo, yon ti pawòl nan wiksyonè a. Mete lyen an nan paj itilizatè ou.

Mwen komanse yon ti fòm pou fasilite edisyon nou yo. Ou mèt gade li nan paj sa a : ht:Itilizatè:Masterches/lis_wiksyonè

Kouman nou ap fè

Ki jan pou nou fè ?

enskri ou nan paj wikimedya a si ou poko genyen yon kont nan wikimedya : http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&type=signup&returnto=Translation_teams/ht
ale nan paj sa a, kite yon avi : http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wiktionary_Haitian_Creole
gade paj prensipal an : http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/wt/ht
Tout mo yo ap komanse pa "wt/ht/" : pa egzanp, si ou vle defini "bouki", ou ap chache "wt/ht/bouki"

(rezon an se paske anpil pwojè ap devlope epi wt/+kòt lang peyi, lè pwojè a aksepte, tout rasin wt/ht ap bouje nan rasin paj pwojè a, dirèkteman [[bouki]] plito ke [[wt/ht/bouki]] )

ou mèt gade paj mwen an pou kèk egzanp epi yon modèl definisyon pou fasilite kontribisyon nou yo nan paj sa a : ht:Itilizatè:Masterches/lis_wiksyonè
kite mesaj ak diskisyon nan paj yo, kite mesaj nou si nou genyen kèk pwoblèm ekri mwen nan paj mwen : ht:itilizatè:Masterches
...mèsi ankò ! Ede mwen kreye wiksyonè sa a, nou kapab fè li ! Nou kapab devlope li !

Pou tout kesyon, mande mwen san kraze tèt ou.

http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/wt/ht

Gade zye tou nan lòt pwojè yo, tankou :

Contribution in the devloppment of the haitian creole wiktionary

Hi,

I'm admin in Haitian creole wikipedia and wikisource. I'm continuing the devlopment of the future haitian creole wiktionary. I'd like it to be a place where all questions of vocabulary could be solve quickly. Many of us are looking for a correct definition, vocabulary,sentence, or a large source of information concerning a word but remain disappointed due to lack of this information.

I'd like to invite you to contribute to the devlopment of this project. It's currently under aproval because we need contributors for editing the beta version (at http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/wt/ht ). The discussions with the admins are at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wiktionary_Haitian_Creole.

your first contribution could be very short, that's not a problem (for instance "Frans se yon peyi" will be sufficient for the first definition for France)

How to do it ?

first login or create an account on meta-wiki at : http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&type=signup&returnto=Translation_teams/ht
let your opinion about this project at : http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wiktionary_Haitian_Creole
start by the homepage : http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/wt/ht
in this beta version inside incubator, all the words have to start with "wt/ht", for example, if you want to create "bouki", you will search for "wt/ht/bouki"
you can look at my page for some examples and templates which would make your contribution easier : List of examples

thank you for your contribution.

You can contact me if any problems at : MasterChes

Boujou!

Hi! How do you say "running fridges rule" in Haitian Creole? Thank you. Runningfridgesrule (talk) 19:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of 16th Street West (Minot, North Dakota)

The article 16th Street West (Minot, North Dakota) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

non-notable street

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Poppyhaitian. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Poppyhaitian~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Renamed

This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)

WikiProject Haiti

You are invited to join WikiProject Haiti, an outreach effort which aims to support development of Haiti related articles in Wikipedia. We thought you might be interested, and hope that you will join us. If you'd like to join, please sign up here. L'union fait la force! Thanks!

Hi Poppyhaitian, I noticed your interests in Haiti-related articles and thought I'd extend the invite to a completely revamped WikiProject Haiti. Cheers! Savvyjack23 (talk) 19:07, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
