Mimagoniates microlepis
Thanks for adding the taxobox to Mimagoniates microlepis. I got lazy but hoped someone would add it and you did. Likewise thanks for cleaning up the refs. Sometimes I just get too eager to go onto the next article! - House of Scandal (talk) 04:26, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Omaha FA?
Hey Swid, a while ago you'd mentioned the possibility of collaborating on getting Omaha moved to FA. I've just finished up all the suggestions from the peer review, and I'm looking for any further guidance. Could you give it a once-over or share any of your thoughts with me? Thanks. • Freechild'sup? 22:50, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- Well, barring your participation I went ahead, cleaned it up, and submitted it to FA review - and now its getting slaughtered. You can see it for yourself here. • Freechild'sup? 07:26, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
- Hi there Swid. Just writing to let you know I think that was a pretty harsh move, proposing to me a year ago that we collaborate on making Omaha a FA[2] and then being the first to critique it in the FA review[3], after I asked you twice if you were interested in collaborating still, and you not responding. Not very good "Wikiquette." It would be good to see you jump in on the article now, after its achieved GA status, to help get it ready for FA. I hope you consider that. • Freechild'sup? 08:55, 28 September 2008 (UTC)]

Hi, we haven't seen anything from you on the talk page. We had a bit of third party observation which helped a lot, but it stopped pretty quickly and the strange discussions are there again. We need another perspective.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 17:54, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
Well, the mediation banner has been there so long without anything happening now, that I wonder if that should be closed off? It might just be chasing away potential editors now. The article has improved in the meantime, but it would have been helpful to have a third party on some issues at the time the discussions got out of balance.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 21:00, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (
true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.
For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of

2019 US Banknote Contest
![]() |
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 |
