Congrats on the GA for Klamath River. Even though you live in Southern California, you've done a great deal to advance the Oregon stream articles. Perhaps we could make you an honorary Oregonian. Finetooth (talk) 16:20, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was gone the past week, coming back to a pleasant surprise sure is a treat. :D However I don't think I've done enough for Oregon to recieve that great of an honor, but maybe I've just forgotten or something. I have been eyeing the Deschutes and Umpqua River articles for a long time, though. If you and Jsayre don't mind I'll add the Klamath to my list of good articles I have credit for... Shannon⁺º^! 05:28, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do. You were the main contributor. And, yes, the Umpqua and Deschutes articles need some TLC. I hope your trip was interesting and fun. Finetooth (talk) 18:20, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, you were a significant contributor. I know you worked hard on the article even if it was well before the GA review. I'll take a look at the Umpqua and Deschutes articles and see what I can do. Jsayre64 (talk) 22:42, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So shall I. I'll probably be busy for what remains of summer, but I'll see to the two as well. Shannon⁺º^! 01:54, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A user page of yours is up for deletion at

Thanks a bunch. When I made that page I'd been looking for a free licensed image for a long time, but couldn't find any. Though I note the older one had a better resolution... Shann_ºn 04:23, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, the non-free image was better. But unfortunately it violates copyright rules. In fact, in most cases, you're not allowed to upload a non-free image of a creek because it can be deleted with {{

Di-replaceable fair use}}. Even if you can't find a free image of the creek on the Internet, one can still go to the creek and take a picture of it. Pain in the neck, but that's the way it is. Jsayre64 (talk) 23:03, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Surprise, surprise! Thanks for all your hard work! Jsayre64 (talk) 23:11, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I see the Willamette has finally reached FA. It deserved to, anyway. Now I'm reminded to go and work on the Missouri again... Shann_ºn 00:11, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think you should give yourself credit on your user page for making a significant contribution to Willamette River. Finetooth (talk) 23:11, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't say "significant" but "one-fifth" might be more accurate. Now if only there was a picture of a fifth of a barnstar. Thank you for the credit though. :) Shann_ºn 01:56, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shannon1,

Wow, 18000 edits already? Do you ever sleep? Do you live on caffeine drinks and hot pockets? Just wondering. Anyway, you may want to google search key words about your newly identified notoriety. (Ppl are so base I tell ya. Yes?) Anyway congrats on all your hard work here (along with all the other authors too). Hey, maybe you should write a book or something too? Keep Up the Good Work Schweetie. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.228.196.8 (talk) 08:34, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Woh I didn't know somebody actually decided to mention me on Wikipedia's front page... but anyhows after taking a look, I didn't quite find any sign of my presence anywhere. Was this yesterday, perhaps? Sad I missed it :P Thanks for the encouragement though. I think I should get back to work on Wikipedia, been skimping out for the past few days Shann_ºn 02:32, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well - you missed out on some 'cheap thrills' then. I first saw your smiling face up around 6 dec 11 (07:53 am) or thereabouts replacing 'the (irate? and po'd (?)) programmer dude picture' in the 'plea for donations to wiki panel' at the top of every wiki page. Looks like your picture was up for a day or so. You were smiling to 470 million users per month (for a day or so)- very trippy. Out of curiousity I did 'search engine' some key words off your panel (which was screen captured and posted it seems) and there are still some links regarding you still up. Some mouse clicks led to a panel with a fuller pic. of you and text:

"From a Wikipedia contributor

I'm a university student. Textbooks for one semester cost me $500. On Wikipedia, I get thousands of books' worth of information for free.

That’s why I don’t just read Wikipedia, I help create it. It’s really important to me to keep this resource available to everyone, free of charge. With 470 million readers per month, Wikipedia is important to many people all over the world. ....etc."

What university? You must have a light schedule (or major - English Major maybe?) to also be able to do that many wiki edits too?! Nosey ppl want to know. Anyway, with such a drive to write I'm sure xulonpress or lulu would love to get your book ideas. With 'print on demand' tech. there is much less overhead in getting a book published these days. Do you have one (or two)in you? Maybe on "How to edit wiki"???

Cheers,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8dCGTvCLXg&feature=related (more cheap thrills - from the sidelines:P (viewing doesn't count as 'skimping out')). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.228.198.14 (talk) 23:27, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure, has there been a case of mistaken identity? I do have about 19000 edits. But I'm just a weird high school student. Shann_ºn 04:03, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oops - you're right. It was actually User:GorillaWarfare being shown (her talk page is now locked). However, your edit count is higher so why don't you petition for some 'top panel' air time soliciting donations for wiki? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.228.196.122 (talk) 06:43, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aha, no wonder. :) How did that banner link you to my username in the first place though? I'm a little bit curious. And yes, I think that appearing on top of the Main Page might be fun. Shann_ºn 07:32, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I googled "wikipedia contributor of 18,000 edits" (instead of what it linked to) and amongst some racey links your's was the first one USER (name) showing so I assumed that you were the one being referred to. Great - you sould petition ASAP to get some face /hang time on the 'wiki pleading for donations' top panel. After all, 19,000+ edits should get you something besides the satisfaction of doing the edits.:) Also, what's with the trout whacking??? anyways :P

(Undid the front end declustering chop eh?)

Anyway, you must have had that key phrase on your talk page recently for it to show up on the search engine like that.

Also, why did you describe yourself as 'a weird little...'

Anyway, it looks like your trout whack(ing) is a little premature given that you've not yet been posted on the top of the page for soliciting donations. Have you made any effort to get posted on the top panel? Cheers

— Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.228.197.231 (talk) 01:44, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted for: Congratulations on making it to the front page!

Hi. In Mammoth Pool Dam, you recently added a link to the disambiguation page Exfoliation (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hi Shannon. Reade has noted on the List of longest rivers of Canada talk page that the Saint John River on the map, File:Longest Rivers of Canada.jpg, needs a label. Could you add a label? If you're busy and would rather not mess with the map any more, I can probably do it. Just let me know. Finetooth (talk) 17:45, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, no problem. In fact I fixed it just now and uploaded the new file. Funny how I drew the river course on the map but forgot to label it... Shann_ºn 18:21, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Very fine work on such a massive article...I was invited to leave comments but I'm mainly a geography buff so that may be the section I'll comment the most on. Nice job!--MONGO 02:16, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! :D I'll try to revise the page accordingly best as I can. Shann_ºn 02:38, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll check back tomorrow...it all looks well, so forgive me if I seem like a nitpick...--MONGO 03:55, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I recruited Mike Cline to check it out too...he lives in Montana and has some first hand knowledge of the rivers there. I'm going to continue to pick at it, but I'm leaning to suport the promotion. You're not obligated to add or adjust things just on my comments of course and I'm not beholden to them.--MONGO 03:16, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A bot updates this. If you do it manually, the bot will just overwrite your changes. 28bytes (talk) 04:34, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, though I know it's updated by a bot. The reason I edit it is because the bot does not count my edits properly (it thinks it's roughly 13,000 less due to some error). Shann_ºn 04:36, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, as long as you know. :) 28bytes (talk) 04:51, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I've reviewed your GAN and made a few comments at Talk:Colorado River/GA1. I really enjoyed the article and found it quite informative. Best wishes, MathewTownsend (talk) 20:21, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate all you have done on rivers. You may want to view the Encyclopedia of Earth, for example http://www.eoearth.org/article/Yukon_River,_North_America

Consider joining EoE as an author to help on the rivers project. email me if you have questions: [email protected] regards, michael Catalancat (talk) 15:53, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be interested in contributing. If there's no complicated registration, I'd like to help edit. Shann_ºn 01:05, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just fill out this short ID page http://www.eoearth.org/article/Become_an_EoE_Contributor or email me your cv and i can set you up as a contributor. Look forward to hearing from you. best, Catalancat (talk) 14:14, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations! A wonderful article. Feel free to revert my edits.[1] MathewTownsend (talk) 18:55, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks – I'm thrilled it passed, considering all the FACs I failed recently! (I did get some "hate mail" from editors on my rewrite.) If you have some comments on the readiness of this article for FAC, please tell me :) Shann_ºn 01:09, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Have you tried Wikipedia:Peer review. An article I'm familiar with just went through peer review with excellent results. It'm not sure how it works exactly. You should chose a reviewer familiar with geography and rivers. (Maybe you could ask someone how to go about it.) MathewTownsend (talk) 01:19, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Shannon, why did this article have the wrong picture and several w/ls piped to

I was quite confused...I haven't seen such an elaborate or discreet April Fool's joke here on WP. I wouldn't of figured it out but I wanted to check the specs of its power plant.--NortyNort (Holla) 14:39, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Elaborate, yes... but I don't think elaborate enough to be inducted into the April Fools hall of fame, which I was going for. :3 Shann_ºn 17:49, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't see it until yesterday and I think most editors at

WP:NPP just took it as legit because it looked well-put together. I didn't pay much attention to April Fool's this year and didn't have it on my mind. I was just thinking "What is Shannon up to?"--NortyNort (Holla) 21:12, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply
