===Explanation of Current Project - [[Indiana High School Athletic Association]] Conferences===
[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] This Project involves the creation of stub pages for each conference in Indiana. In most cases, all of the information is coming from http://www.ihsaa.org. When finished, I intend to expand them to the depth of information found in the [[Pocket Athletic Conference]] or the [[Southern Indiana Athletic Conference]]. Each Conference will come complete with a map of the members counties in Indiana, A wikitable with the the member schools, their location, mascot, colors, county, and IHSAA Class, and sometimes even enrollment. In each case all information is coming from one of two sources and either is verifiable. One is found at http://www.ihsaa.org/school_rosters_frame.htm which contains membership for all of the conferences. The other is a PDA page located at http://www.ihsaa.org/school-directory/SchoolDirectory2.pdf. This is an Adobe Acrobat File which contains very detailed infromation on all of Indiana's almost 400 schools.

Please do not delete any of these pages as they are legit and very time consuming to replace.

Progress Can be tracked by the [[Template:Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA)|Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) Template]]

As of 08/04/08: 23 out of the IHSAA's 50 Conferences are completed or 45% <br />
As of 08/07/08: 29 or 58% <br />
As of 08/12/08: 34 or 68% <br />
As of 08/21/08: 46 or 92% <br />
As of 08/27/08: 50 or 100% of primary project completed. (Completed at 19:45 ([[Central Time Zone (North America)|CDT]]) <br />
Now Concentrating on the IHSAA Independents as the 51st Conference page and making it the fourth IHSAA School Page. <br /> Then Around Sept 1, phase II begins: <br /> This will take me through each of the conference pages and adding the state finalist and runnerups for each school (if any).

Planned Completion: 09/20/08 (I HOPE)

It has come to my attention that the second page of my conference lists has disappeared. So, I feel I should explain the secondary project to the above project. I intend to finish the incomplete detailed list of Indiana's Conferences. Indiana has 50 conferences so I planned four pages, the first two with 17 conferences each, the third with 16, and the fourth being a detailed list of the IHSAA Independents with around 20 schools. All four pages will be uniform with backround shading based on the school's status; multi-county, private, military, not playing football or affiliated with one of the three football conferences. Like the conference pages themselves the conference list has at least two sources from the Authority in Indiana Sports, the IHSAA, and for Mount Carmel, the IHSA. Everything from the location, name, mascot, colors, enrollment, and county are found in the PDA directory file http://www.ihsaa.org/school-directory/SchoolDirectory2.pdf. I have even gotten into the habit of listing the school's ID # for that list. To comfirm the information is legit, all that you need to do is scroll down to the ID number listed by the name (example:Gibson Southern   ID: 127). The ID number are not always determined by the school's name for example, Northwest High School (169) comes aphabetacally before Northwestern High School (262). This is because Northwest High School is ID as Indianapolis Northwest High School. Other Indy are schools are in their correct alphabetic place. Other example would be for Elkhart, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Gary, Lafayette, Muncie, South Bend, and Terre Haute, all the way down to Vincennes, Washington, Jasper, and Madison.[[User:Rhatsa26X|Rhatsa26X]] ([[User talk:Rhatsa26X#top|talk]]) 01:16, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I have made a minor adjustment to the conference rosters. After the pages were redirected, I changed them to include the ranges of the names on the roster. They are now [[Indiana High School Athletics Conferences: Adams County - Metropolitan]], [[Indiana High School Athletics Conferences: Mid-Eastern - Northwestern]], and [[Indiana High School Athletics Conferences: Ohio River Valley - White River]]. Please leave them that way.[[User:Rhatsa26X|Rhatsa26X]] ([[User talk:Rhatsa26X#top|talk]]) 21:31, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

== State templates ==

Please stop adding nicknames to state templates: it's quite nonstandard, and it makes the templates display improperly.  As well, altering the colors is a huge change (all county templates are colored according to the state template), so it is definitely not a change that should be made without extensive discussion.  [[User:Nyttend|Nyttend]] ([[User talk:Nyttend|talk]]) 23:14, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Someone changed Indiana's colors as well. It was a dark blue with gold letters, similar to Nevada, and I did not do that. The Nicknames have yet to cause any inproper features aside from the nicknames showing up. The nicknames need to be added state template so they can displayed without showing up when they are collapsed. Most cases I just blended the nicknames in to the template. Two wikipedians have been "standardizing" the state templates and I only did five, which I'll eventually change back, if Indiana's is restored back to dark blue.

:What do you mean?  According to your contributions, you did over thirty state templates just in the last 1½ hours.  Moreover, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Indiana&diff=240296043&oldid=239596985 this] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Indiana&diff=233560638&oldid=231945323 this] edits were both your doing; the only recent changes to the color of {{tl|Indiana}} have been by those restoring it to its normal color.  [[User:Nyttend|Nyttend]] ([[User talk:Nyttend|talk]]) 23:38, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

What I mean is that Indiana, like many states was the color of the flag, I will restore those well actually only 5 states which colors changed. Yes I added nicknames to 45 templates in an hour and a half, but I only changed five colors. As for the others I only added nicknames. The ones I did change were California, Michigan, Oklahoma, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The others I left and Only added the Nicknames in Small Type even going through the trouble of making the font color the same as the rest of the template. Its really harmless and adds some pride to the states.

Basically what I am getting at is the State Template needs to modified to include their nicknames, preferably in a smaller type but bigger than the capital. Some nicknames identify the state better than the name. Several of them are older than their state is. Like for example what do you think of when the name "Hoosier" is used?: Indiana, right? or the Lone Star; Texas, a name which is older than the state, since the [[Flag of Texas|Lone Star Flag]] was adopted before statehood. Here's another; Old Dominion; Virginia, or "Land of Lincoln"; Illinois. Both State have used their nicknames on their plates for over twenty consecutive years. The only reason Indiana doesn't is because of [[Purdue University]] and [[Indiana University]] fierce rivalry, otherwise it would have as well.



==Speedy deletion of [[:Indiana Business College]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Indiana Business College]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G11|section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read [[Wikipedia:Spam|the guidelines on spam]] as well as [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Business]] for more information. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:Indiana Business College|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[ Talk:Indiana Business College|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that a copy be emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-spam-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:KurtRaschke|KurtRaschke]] ([[User talk:KurtRaschke|talk]]) 00:39, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

I wrote it using the limited information available. I have added a hangon tag to this article and expect you to explain why you have nominated it for speedy deletion. Rather than deleting this page, I seriously implore you to consider improving it. This is at best a stub of an '''actual Indiana College''' and deleting it would be premature. Oh by the way, It adverstising '''IS''' your reason for this delete, than Wikipedia should consider deleting ALL College articles as most of them have some advertising point of view.
[[User:Rhatsa26X|Rhatsa26X]] ([[User talk:Rhatsa26X#top|talk]]) 00:45, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

== High School colors ==

Please stop adding colors to the names of high schools in the infoboxes. That is not standard and does not comply with [[WP:MOS]]. In many cases colors and enlargement of the name does not look very good at all. School colors are already listed below in the infobox and do not need to be applied to the title. Thanks for your work with the Athletic conferences; the articles look very nice. I however have moved the titles because it is against [[WP:NC]] to use "Page2", "Page 3" for a continued list. [[User:Reywas92|<span style="color:#1EC112; font-size:medium;">Reywas92</span>]][[User talk:Reywas92|<sup style="color:#45E03A;">'''Talk'''</sup>]] 19:17, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

== A Compromise ==
I will finish removing the color, but in return, restore the medium text. This makes them similar to the Infobox_University format.[[User:Rhatsa26X|Rhatsa26X]] ([[User talk:Rhatsa26X#top|talk]]) 21:18, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
:Wait! That might work, but rather than having < span > text making them all medium, I can simply edit the Template to do it everywhere. [[User:Reywas92|<span style="color:#1EC112; font-size:medium;">Reywas92</span>]][[User talk:Reywas92|<sup style="color:#45E03A;">'''Talk'''</sup>]] 23:05, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

That will work [[User:Rhatsa26X|Rhatsa26X]] ([[User talk:Rhatsa26X#top|talk]]) 04:08, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Seriously, please don't add a span to the header of school infoboxes making the font medium. That is ''not standard''. It doesn't matter if the infobox for universities has a larger header than the infobox for other schools; it doesn't achieve anything to add the span to just a few schools. And for some of the schools, you obviously don't know what "native name" in the infobox means. It's not to rearrange the school name with the city, it's for schools in other countries to show the school name in the native language was before being translated. Thank you. [[User:Reywas92|<span style="color:#1EC112; font-size:medium;">Reywas92</span>]][[User talk:Reywas92|<sup style="color:#45E03A;">'''Talk'''</sup>]] 23:02, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

The template header is still too small. As for the other, You may know that many schools in Indiana are known by two names, the Local Name like say Benjamin Bosse High School and the IHSAA designation used outside Evansville. To anybody in Gibson or any other county, the school is called Evanville Bosse. Its the same way with the schools in Indianapolis, even the ones outside of Indy but are in Marion county are often called Indianapolis ... High School. Indiana just has that peculiarity to it. Trust me, the so-called "Native Names" are nothing more that what the school is referred to by local residents whether it is english or not, while the larger bolder name is what the school is referred to by the region or the IHSAA. It may not be standard, but it is consistent. The IHSAA uses this system because there are at least 15 schools that if you did not add the city name to it, would have the exact same name and some even have the same namesake. Thank You for your concern. [[User:Rhatsa26X|Rhatsa26X]] ([[User talk:Rhatsa26X#top|talk]]) 04:15, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
:It is in no way consistent to only list the name used ''colloquially'' for only some Indiana schools while there are thousands more schools that don't use the native names parameter incorrectly. At the very least they would definitely need to be swapped; the official school name (i.e. the article title, in this case Benjamin Bosse High School) should be listed in the name parameter, and the name using the city (Evansville Bosse) should go under native name.

Do you get it now. I am simply trying to simalarize the heads of the university template which is used on Carmel High School's page with the schools template used on Fishers and Gibson Southern High Schools' pages.

I have just completed some research on how to make both head fonts appear the same size. Since the school and university templates are protected this is going to have to be manually done for the time being. I am not giving up on this, as the standardization of both templates is my every intention.

Using the <span style=';font-size:10.5pt;'> '''span style font-size:10.5pt''' </span> , the <span style=';font-size:10.5pt;'> '''Carmel High School''' </span> and the <span style=';font-size:10.5pt;'> '''Gibson Southern High School''' </span> templates now have the same font style and size. This should no longer be a problem now, is it. When it is done ALL High School Templates in Indiana will look the same and Gibson Southern's template will look like it did when I made it in October 2006 as part of my first article. It DID look like the Gibson Southern example, NOT like the Fishers example.

:I know what you are tyring to do; you don't have to show me; that's just ''not'' how you do it! You do not manually add this span to only Indiana articles. First, Carmel High School should ''not'' have the University infobox. If you want conformity in Indiana HS articles, try fixing that. The way to fix some things in a template is not to edit every article with the template, but to go straight to the source. I have requested an edit to [[Template talk:Infobox School]] to have this corrected in every article automatically. Thank you for your understanding.

[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Indiana Class AAAAA Football Membership]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A3|section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see [[Wikipedia:Stub#Essential information about stubs|Wikipedia:Stub]] for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on [[Wikipedia:Notability|notable]] subjects and should provide references to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] that [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] their content. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:Indiana Class AAAAA Football Membership|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:Indiana Class AAAAA Football Membership|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that they  [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the page or have a copy emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-nocontent-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Radiant chains|Radiant chains]] ([[User talk:Radiant chains|talk]]) 13:15, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

==Proposed deletion of PAC Spring Titles==
[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|48px|]]
A [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] template has been added to the article [[PAC Spring Titles]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
:<b>Wikipedia is not a [[WP:NOTDIR|directory]] or [[WP:IINFO|indiscriminate list of information]]</b>

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion|criteria for inclusion]], and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|What Wikipedia is not]]" and [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|Wikipedia's deletion policy]]).  You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the <code>{{tl|dated prod}}</code> notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on [[Talk:PAC Spring Titles|its talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the [[WP:PROD|proposed deletion process]], the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion criteria]] or it can be sent to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for Deletion]], where it may be deleted if [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] to delete is reached.<!-- Template:PRODWarning --> [[User:Madcoverboy|Madcoverboy]] ([[User talk:Madcoverboy|talk]]) 16:44, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

It all depends on YOUR definition of indiscrinitate information. There are other such lists for other conferences in Indiana that are just like this one and several for Illinoian Conferences that look like a running gag. Why don't we just eliminate all local referent articles and say at local small town or rural area information isn't worth being written. It would, however, be more '''constructive''' to try to find the information and add to the information, not just write it off because it seems incomplete, which it is. I am working on adding to this area, provided that it still exists when I can get around to it. After all, I do happen to have a '''full time job''' and can't always be around to address every discrepancy that occurs. Unfortunately the IHSAA does not keep conference records or this list, as well as the fall and winter lists and even the same lists for the other area conferences would have been completed months ago. Instead it involves a very exausting search through seemingly vast enclaves of data parts of which are inaccessible.

==Nameplate capacity==
If you use a weird term such as [[nameplate capacity]], you should create it as a link. You should also give units.

You don't tell me here or on my user talk page - you just go and edit the article!!! I have done it for you. You missed my point: "nameplate capacity" is a perfectly OK term to use here <u>providing</u> you make it into a wikilink. But omitting the units is unforgivable!

== Ship articles ==

There are a few things I have observed you doing recently. One, removing {{tl|fact}} without citing the disputed statements is against policy, do not do that again. Second, you have not been italicizing ship names, something which is proscribed in the MOS. Thirdly, you are mis-using the fields of the infoboxes and messing with the succeeded by fields needs to be discussed if there is something already there. -'''[[User:MBK004|MBK]]'''<sub>[[User talk:MBK004|004]]</sub> 05:13, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

If you're referring to the [[USS Forrestal]] article, I effortlessly found an article that confirms why the ship was called the FID and what it stands for. I put both in parenthesis beneath the FID entry. My dad served on board the the Forrestal for five years and I have heard the ship called each of the mentioned nicknames plus "The Hot Lady", "The Modern Powderkeg" and "The Fire on Water," a parody of the song "[[Smoke on the water]]" among quite a long list of other fire-referent names referring to the very many fires the ship has had in its operating history. My dad even got injured during one of them in 1989. Bottom Line is that this area is now cited.

That article has been warped beyond the point of referring to it as ''My'' Article.

There is also the issue of the lack of electronic resources concerning the Marching Titans.

I don't have the time to deal with it right now, ass I am more concentrated on other things and I am also working a great deal of overtime at work until mid-May at the earliest.

== County numbers ==

Greetings!  I see you have been adding county numbers to the ledes of Indiana county articles.  While I agree in general that this information is good for the article and should be added, I would suggest that it's really not important enough to appear in bold immediately after the name of the county.  It seems like the kind of information that should go in the infobox.  Would you agree? [[User:Omnedon|Omnedon]] ([[User talk:Omnedon|talk]]) 16:21, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, if I could, I would put it in the infobox. [[User:Rhatsa26X|Rhatsa26X]] ([[User talk:Rhatsa26X#top|talk]]) 16:42, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
:In Knox County, it was already mentioned in the infobox footnotes; so I've removed that from the lede.  We can put this in the footnotes for all the other counties too. [[User:Omnedon|Omnedon]] ([[User talk:Omnedon|talk]]) 18:42, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I had thought of that after I posted the above statement. After all, I was the one responsible for creating Knox County's Footnotes, along with the other counties of Southwestern Indiana. I was waiting for responses to it before expanding that project to include all of Indiana's Counties. But it seems that using the footnotes like I did for those 11 counties may be accpeted for the other 81 as well. The footnotes can also be used in the same manner as Knox County to put other seemingly benign information such as order of creation like in the case of [[Pike County, Indiana|Pike County]] or order of size and population like [[Vanderburgh County]].

Now that my rework of the [[Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference]] title list is complete, I am going to make this project my next priority: the moving of all county numbers that I have done from the article to the Infobox, as well as expanding the Southwestern Indiana Footnote Project. This will probably take most of the rest of the day, but should be done at a bare minimum, (i.e. the county number and maybe area rank if it seems a little obvious) by this evening. This will be done by county order, so latter counties like Washington or Tippecanoe may be a while. If you or anybody else want to contribute to this effort to make it go faster, it may get done sooner. I am going to this project underway as of 1630 [[Central Time Zone|CDT]]/1730 [[Eastern Time Zone|EDT]] (4:30/5:30) 
[[User:Rhatsa26X|Rhatsa26X]] ([[User talk:Rhatsa26X#top|talk]]) 21:31, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Also I am using the following phrase for the county number indication:

| footnotes       = '''Notes on Adams County, IN'''
*[[List of counties in Indiana|'''County 01''']] in Indiana's Alphanumeric System

This will direct the user to the list of Indiana Counties. as well as give the number, so the number can be verified, although I can pretty much give any county name to its number without even looking at it.[[User:Rhatsa26X|Rhatsa26X]] ([[User talk:Rhatsa26X#top|talk]]) 21:47, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

== Gibson County towns ==

Greetings!  I was just looking at the [[Template:Gibson County, Indiana]] and had a couple of questions.  You recently added a link for "Calamity, Indiana" to that template, but I can find no record of any such town in Gibson County (or any other Indiana county).  Do you have a source for this?  The same applies to [[Snake Run, Gibson County, Indiana]], for which you created an article; in looking at the map at the coordinates specified in the article, I see no evidence of any settlement; and I see a "Snake Run" at the USGS but it's a stream, not a town. [[User:Omnedon|Omnedon]] ([[User talk:Omnedon|talk]]) 12:03, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

It is a collection of houses located northeast of Owensville along old Indiana 65 it manly consists of several closely grouped homes and a large trailer park. It is known as Calamity Junction. Why it is called this even I do not know. As for Snake Run, It also does appear on some maps including the state map. Snake run even has signs along its length on [[Indiana State Road 168|Indiana 168]] saying "SNAKE RUN". I have lived in this county for almost 16 years, and I get around the county a lot. Besides, [[Warrick County]]'s got a lot of towns on it template that I have never heard of as well. They're probably extinct towns, like Skelton, which now mostly lies at the bottom of [[Gibson Lake (Indiana)|Gibson Lake]]. [[User:Rhatsa26X|Rhatsa26X]] ([[User talk:Rhatsa26X#top|talk]]) 08:26, 23 June 2010 (CDT)

:As for Warrick County, all of the unincorporated towns listed on that template do appear in USGS data.  The USGS database is not perfect, but it does tend to include even the tiniest settlements, some of which no longer exist; so since neither Snake Run nor Calamity Junction appear in the USGS data, some other source(s) would need to be cited to show that they exist as recognized settlements.

== Speedy deletion of [[Template:Metropolitan Areas in Indiana]] ==
A tag has been placed on [[Template:Metropolitan Areas in Indiana]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#T3|section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<tt>&lt;noinclude>&#123;{transclusionless}}&lt;/noinclude></tt>).

Thanks. <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> — <span style="border:dashed #666;border-width:1px 0 0 1px">[[User:This, that and the other|This, that]]</span>, and <span style="border:dashed #666;border-width:0 1px 1px 0">[[User talk:This, that and the other|the other<small> (talk)</small>]]</span> 09:36, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Instead of deleting it why don't we try to improve it. It's too easy to delete, but it's much more harder and more fruitful to improve it instead. [[User:Rhatsa26X|Rhatsa26X]] ([[User talk:Rhatsa26X#top|talk]]) 17:01, 18 January 2011 (CST)

[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[Frog Follies]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''Article does not satisfy [[WP:N]].'''

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Frog Follies|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User talk:Icy Tiger's Blood|<font face="COLONNA MT" color="blue">ICY</font><font face="COLONNA MT" color="orange">TIGER'S</font><font face="COLONNA MT" color="red">BLOOD</font>]] 21:10, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

== An exciting month of wiki events! ==

<div style="background: #EFFDF5; padding:3em; font-family:'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif; font-size:110%;">
Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a ''very'' exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Women in the Arts 2014|Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon]]''' will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever '''[https://www.eventbrite.com/e/open-government-wikihack-tickets-10862424805 Open Government WikiHack]''' with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Sunlight Foundation Happy Hour|happy hour]]''' the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Africa Collection Editathon|Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon]]''' will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Wiki Loves Capitol Hill 2014|Wiki Loves Capitol Hill]]''' training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our [[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC|meetup page]] with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best,<br />[[User:Harej|James Hare]]

== Your edit on [[Russians]] ==

I've reverted your edits on Russians because of [[WP:OR]]. There are >8 million ethnic Russians living in Ukraine [and Crimea]. There are less than 2.35 million people living in Crimea with <60% of them being ethnic Russians. So where did this claim that the majority of Russians living Ukraine lived in Crimea?

== recent infobox edits on Indiana settlements ==

Hi.  I thought I would stop by and give you my 2 cents on this.  To me, one of the most useful features of an infobox is its consistency.  You can look at the infobox at any (insert subject here) article and you will find the same kind of info at the same place for every one of the articles.  I think that it is possible that this may be good content, but given the fact that you are effectively creating new fields to put the info in, it may be worthy of a discussion at the [[:TEMPLATE:Infobox settlement]] talk page.  I think it looks good, although it will duplicate (at least in the highway info) well developed graphic content that is in hundreds if not thousands of articles.  [[WP:USRD]] has put in a ton of work developing that content.

Admittedly, new style content has to start somewhere.  I personally don't find it to be a good place for [[WP:BOLD]] however, due to the consistency issue mentioned above.

You do lots of good work on Indiana subjects (dear to me as it is the state of my birth).  Thanks for that.  I will certainly leave what to do about it up to you, deferring to your years here.  There is a discussion taking place at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Roads#Some recent edits that might bear this project's attention]] about this subject that you may be interested in joining.  If this is something you think we should be doing everywhere, I still feel that the best place to discuss it is the template's talk page.  Happy editing, and feel free to answer here.  I will follow your TP. [[User:John from Idegon|John from Idegon]] ([[User talk:John from Idegon|talk]]) 22:06, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

== Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon ==

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.
 
'''When''': Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

'''Where''':  The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Is there some legal or practical distinction between MSDs and other Indiana school districts?  If so, please visit [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2016 August 16]] and explain it; I've nominated [[:Category:Metropolitan school districts in Indiana]], which you created, for merger with the general school district category, because the only distinction I can find is that the township trustee has less responsibility for MSDs than he does for other districts.

Thank you for adding the Evansville collage image. It's nice, but in my subjective opinion the top image of the riverfront from the marina is not a good one. It's poor quality, with bad filtering, and doesn't show much. I think the collage would be better without it. Do you agree? If so, could you change it?

To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] to work toward making a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See [[Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle|BRD]] for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]].  In some cases, you may wish to request temporary [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|page protection]]. 

'''Being involved in an edit war can result in your being [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]'''&mdash;especially if you violate the [[Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule|three-revert rule]], which states that an editor must not perform more than three [[Help:Reverting|reverts]] on a single page within a 24-hour period.

Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;'''even if you don't violate the three-revert rule'''&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.<!-- Template:uw-3rr --> <b>[[User:Billhpike|BillHPike]]</b> <small>([[User talk:Billhpike|talk]], [[Special:contribs/Billhpike|contribs]])</small> 04:14, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/962595?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] .

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]]. 

Take the survey '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/962595?lang=en here]'''.

Kind Regards,

[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Research|WMF Research Team]]
