Hello, I am trying to edit "Nina E. Allender" with a reference to a new book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nina_E._Allender

I tried to add a section, Other sources, and then the reference Frishman, Ronny (2020). Nina Allender Suffrage Cartoonist. Fairfield, CA:: Dragonfeather Books. p. 26. ISBN 978-1-949290-47-9.{{cite book}}: CS1 maint: extra punctuation (link)</ref> }} I had a name for the reference (Frishman), but Wikipedia said it had not been used in references. No luck with numerous attempts, so I made no edits.

Caleb Barns

[edit]

HiYour article Charles Edward Barns appeared in the new articles section on WikiProject Wisconsin. The article is well research. I noticed Caleb Barns was mentioned. I was using the same source- the Proceedings of State Bar of Wisconsin for a different Wisconsin legislator. Therefore, I started an article about Caleb P. Barns who served in the Wisconsin State Assembly. You may want to look at it and even add to the article. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 18:42, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi-the Charles Edward Barns article appeared in the new articles section on WikiProject Wisconsin. I am not sure how it was released. Please feel free to add materials to the Caleb Barns article. Thanks-RFD (talk) 19:05, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wisconsin Blue Book - Caleb Barns

[edit]

Hi I check the Wisconsin Blue Books about Caleb Barns. After Wisconsin was admitted to the union in 1848, the first Wisconsin Blue Book came out in 1853. In 1860 the next Wisconsin Blue Book was published and after that it was published on a regular basis. I added a citation about the members of the Wisconsin Legislature 1848-1999 and Caleb Barns' surname was spelled: Barnes. I am going try to track down the records for the 1850&1855 Wisconsin Legislatures to see how Caleb Barns spelt his last name. When Wisconsin was admitted to the union-the Wisconsin Senate was elected for 2 years & the Assembly was elected every year. This was changed to 4 and 2 years respectively in the 1880s by constitutional amendment and has been the same since. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 19:24, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Gerald Evan Williams

[edit]

The article Gerald Evan Williams has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not appear to meet WP:GNG or bio notability, certainly not MILBIO

While all 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 10:03, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

G'day, I have had a further look at the article and have asked for a few extra pairs of eyes and opinions from the MILHIST community at WT:MILHIST before I submit the article for WP:AfD. I suggest you look in on the comments over the next few days to see what other MILHIST editors are thinking. The issue is not about whether the good Colonel is deserving, he was obviously a brave man. Wikipedia doesn't determine notablity based on who is deserving, it bases inclusion on notability guidelines. It may be that the Colonel meets them, but ultimately the community will decide.

Barns, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Republican and Whig (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Caleb Barns

[edit]

Hi-I am looking at the Wisconsin Blue Book 2007-2008 right now. That Wisconsin Blue Book has a feature article about the Wisconsin State Legislature. It was has a table of the people who served in the Wisconsin Legislature 1847-2007. On pg. 212 Caleb Barns was listed as serving in the Wisconsin State Assembly 1850 and 1855. Until 1882, the Wisconsin Senators were elected 2 years and the Wisconsin Assembly once every year. In 1881-1882, a series of constitutional amedments were ratified that change the terms of office and the year the Wisconsin constitutional officers were elected. The Wisconsin Senatewas change to 4 years; the Wisconsin Assembly 2 years. It is the same today. It was not until 1970 that the Wisconsin Governor was elected for 4 years. Until then it was 2 years for the governor and other Wisconsin costitutional officers. Caleb Barns served 2 one year terms in the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1850 and 1855-the electoral system that was in effect at the time. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 20:20, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, it sure can; I've removed it for you.

Your input is requested at WikiProject Maine!

[edit]
Hello fellow WikiProject Maine members!
 
I'm trying to breathe a little new life into WP:WP ME and as such I have posted a few questions on the project's talk page that I would like to get some feedback from all of the project's members on!
  1. There are apparently a lot of inactive members on our participants list (and even a user that has been blocked for years). What do we as a project want to do about inactive or blocked users? I have some ideas on the issue, but would love feedback from others.
    • Remove blocked users that appear to be no longer interested in participating in developing Wikipedia.
    • Users with zero activity at all in three years are unlikely to come back. I suggest that we remove them from the mailing list and deactivate any categorizing feature of a userbox on their page. When doing this, we must make sure to leave a note on their talk page explaining that since they have been off-wiki for three years that they have been removed from the list as a purely technical measure and they are more than welcome to add themselves back to the list if they choose to start editing again.
    • Users with zero activity on wiki for 18 months may come back, despite it being unlikely. I would suggest that we mark those users as inactive on our mailing list, and stop sending them messages like this one to prevent their user talk page from filling up with irrelevant notices.
    • Users with zero activity on wiki for at least six months should be marked as inactive in the mailing list template, but should still receive mailings.
  2. I'm also trying to gauge some interest in there being a Great American Wikinic in Maine! If you are interested, possible locations might include Portland, Augusta, and or Bangor, please make a note in the appropriate section on our talk page!
  3. We should create a template to use for mass mailings from this wikiproject so all we need to do is enter our message and signature and the general format of the box and image and title and stuff will stay familiar. What is your opinion on this idea? Do you have any preferences to what that may look like (because I think this looks horrible compared to some I've seen from other projects)?
This message was sent by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) on behalf of {{U|Technical 13}} (e • t • c) at 17:25, 11 June 2014 (UTC). To remove yourself from this list, please remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiProject Maine/members, remove the WikiProject's userbox/category from your user page (rarely used for mass mailings), or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Opted-out of message delivery to your user talk page.[reply]
