Hi Dystopos! As a Steward I'm involved in the upcoming unification of all accounts organized by the Wikimedia Foundation (see m:Single User Login finalisation announcement). By looking at your account, I realized that you don't have a global account yet. In order to secure your name, I recommend you to create such account on your own by submitting your password on Special:MergeAccount and unifying your local accounts. If you have any problems with doing that or further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Cheers, —DerHexer (Talk) 12:37, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Would you consider moving this picture to Wikimedia Commons please? I would like to add more info about Drummond as I said; both the family and the company. Also the Stephenses and Mountain Brook.Zigzig20s (talk) 18:21, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Would you mind sharing some references (articles, books, etc.) about this person please? You have an article on the Birmingham Wiki, but no references. Thanks.Zigzig20s (talk) 15:40, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be possible for you to create a stub or start article for Birmingham that could provide an overview of people, organizations, events, or local places that were pertinent to the civil rights movement in Birmingham. Please see Template:CRM in Alabama. I've been adding existing and need to be written articles into the template. I will eventually create a separate sidebar for Birmingham. If you want to add anything to the template or want to create stubs or start articles for anything else connected to the civil rights movement in Birmingham, then that would be appreciated. Mitchumch (talk) 22:34, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• • I'm interested in seeing Wikipedia better cover the topic of Birmingham in the civil rights movement, but I'm focused on my efforts to document the area on Bhamwiki. If it helps, all of the content on Bhamwiki is published under a license compatible with Wikipedia, so if you want to borrow from the work I and others have done there, it should be fairly easy to do so. Bhamwiki:Civil Rights Movement is probably a good place to start. I expect we'll have some improvements to the Fred Shuttlesworth entry soon as my wife has been reading the Manis biography. --Dystopos (talk) 20:39, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
