Although this project doesn't look extremely active (yet), I thought I'd let folks know I created an article on the original Elitch's, see Elitch Gardens. At this point it's based almost entirely on a book about Elitch's that's cited as a reference. -- Rick Block (talk) 18:41, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

should i put the wikicolorado banner on the talk pages for the SHs such as State Highway 15 (Colorado) ? atanamir 23:29, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that would definitely be appreciated. Vertigo700 01:34, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just thought I'd let you know, Denver, Colorado is the United States Collaboration of the Week this week. Love to see all of you pitch in! PDXblazers 01:23, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I'm a member of the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Wikipedia for future publication on CD or paper. We recently began assessing articles using these criteria, and we are are asking for your help. As you are most aware of the issues surrounding your focus area, we are wondering if you could provide us with a list of the articles that fall within the scope of your WikiProject, and that are either featured, A-class, B-class, or Good articles, with no POV or copyright problems. Do you have any recommendations? If you do, please post your suggestions at the listing of all active Places WikiProjects, and if you have any questions, ask me in the Work Via WikiProjects talk page or directly in my talk page. Thanks a lot! Titoxd^{(?!? - help us)} 06:59, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Created a new template for Buffs fans (I'm one). {{User CU fan}}. Check it out. I'm not sure if I'm done working on it, let me know what you think. Editor19841 23:54, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of forest fires just doesn't seem to cut it for North America, let alone Colorado does that fit under the ideas of what this project can or wants to do? EnsRedShirt 10:06, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

That would be a great project for someone who is interested in the topic. I'm not, but I would help edit. Vertigo700 16:13, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How about Forney Transportation Museum? Chris 18:54, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated the Bill Ritter (politician) aricle a few minutes ago, and am trying to gather support for the nomination. Please support the article. Happy Trails, Editor19841 22:57, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Started Law and government of Denver, Colorado. Don't think I did to shabby, either. Editor19841 18:56, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to start categorizing images of Denver. If anyone can, help me out. Editor19841 18:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, if anyone can help, the Bill Ritter (politician) article is in desperate need of a picture of Ritter. The article lost at USCOTW probably due to this ongoing issue. I'm not an uploader, but figured somebody at the project has to be. Ritter's campaign site (click here) should serve as a good scouting spot. The big election's coming up, and the article is the only one of the candidates lacking a pic. Anybody, any politics, thanks for the help. Editor19841 01:47, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sending an e-mail requesting use of an image right now! --Ginkgo100 ^{talk · contribs} 02:24, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please check out List of current and former capital cities in the United States and make sure that Colorado's capital cities are listed accurately. A word of warning: the page does contain quite a bit of complicated wiki formatting, so if you're not comfortable editing it, just post your changes on the talk page and someone more experienced will apply them to the article.   JEK   19:42, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've worked for the past month to update Portal:United States and keep it better maintained. Though, I think the Portal:United States would be even better with broader participation. One way to do that is instead of choosing the "selected article" myself each week, if others would nominate articles and help make decisions. (same goes for pictures, though these are stocked up through July 29) If there is anything related to Colorado (or anything else related to the U.S. - culture, music, literature, geography, history, politics, ...), please nominate. I'd also like people to weigh in on the nominations and help select what should be featured. Thanks. --Aude (talk contribs) 23:28, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, everybody. I am the bozo who just recently created the new subcategories in the "People from Colorado" category. I thought that some of you might want to know why they were created, and why they often have so few pages in them.

The majority of the states have "People from [state]" categories which have at least 200 entries, sometimes over 1,000. This is clearly an unworkably large number for anyone wishing to use the category for research purposes. In 8th grade in Rapid City, South Dakota, the social studies class asked us to write, over the course of the year, reports on two or three people who were or had been residents of the city. Because of that, I have reason to believe that they could be used and probably are used for research purposes. To make such research easier, I looked at the list of metropolitan statistical areas and basically entered in one new category for each metropolitan statistical area.

I know that many of these categories might well be, in the eyes of you who know more about the cities in question much better than I do, misnamed or otherwise faulty. I apologize for any mistakes I may have made along those lines, and I would welcome any corrections, including deletion, that any of the rest of you might choose to make. With that in mind, I have also generally populated the categories with only one or two names, to ease in the process of deletion or renaming.

I thought you all should know why these categories were created, and felt some degree of responsibility for letting your know. I wish you all the greatest good fortune in making the coverage of your state in Wikipedia of the greatest scope and quality possible, and I hope that I haven't annoyed too many of you by my recent actions.

Hey guys, I am from Wikiproject Dinosaurs, and have been chiselling away a bit at Stegosaurus, and noticed a colorado tag stuck on Stegosaurus. What would be really cool from some Colorado locals (I am in Sydney, Australia so a teeny bit far from the action), is some photos from Morrison museum on the Stegosaurus being dug out for display or of Dinosaur ridge near Morrison. Cheers Cas Liber 10:34, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just an update, Stegosaurus is being worked up to a Featured article candidate. Cas Liber 05:05, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Huh, that's just about a half an hour away from me and I'd never heard of it. I might make a trip down there this week sometime. If I do, I'll take some pictures for ya. — Laura Scudder ☎ 20:50, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you can expect some pictures by the end of next weekend. — Laura Scudder ☎ 21:08, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This message is to notify you that {{Colorado-photo-stub}} is up for deletion at WP:SFD. There is already a {{reqphotoin}} that you can use to request photos for Colorado. You would use {{reqphotoin|Colorado}} instead of this stub template. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or contribute to the discussion at WP:SFD. ~ Amalas rawr ^{=^_^=} 16:58, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Everybody: I've been on a mission for a while now to tag every single image of Colorado on the English Wikipedia with Category:Images of Colorado/Category:Images of Denver/Category:Images of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Uploaders: Please help me in this task by tagging all images of Colorado you upload with one of these categories, appropriately. Thank you. Editor19841 (talk) 01:54, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wait I am confused. You say here that all images of Colorado should be tagged with the categories listed above. But on Category:Images of Colorado you say, "Please do not list images which are only usable under the doctrine of fair use, images whose license restricts copying or distribution to non-commercial use only, or otherwise non-free images here."

Which is it?

The category I most have in mind is Category:Denver Public Library images, these are "fair use" with permission. (Besides the images in that category, most of the images on the page Category:Denver Public Library public domain images could be added to the list.)

I think a few members of this WikiProject should gather together and create a portal for Colorado; it'd be a nice boost for the WikiProject and all Colorado-related articles. Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Wisconsin all have one; why shouldn't we? I was planning to start it, but I think it'd be a very difficult thing to get people to help out. Would any of you be interested in helping me? ;) — Webdinger ^{BLAH | SZ} 03:07, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I consider portal proliferation to be harmful. There are something like 200 countries. If portals are created for each subnational entity (states in the US and India, prefectures in Japan, etc.) we'll have something like 20-100 portals per country. Even assuming it's only 20, this means we'd have 4000 portals. Um, no. -- Rick Block (talk) 04:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I definitely think there would be enough pages for such a portal, but it would take a lot of work/people to make that work, IMO, and I am not sure that we have enough editors for it. And Rick is right, there are a lot of portals, some of them kind of mediocre cause people just dont have enough time to maintain them. It's a thought though.

With the midterm elections coming up I started a new List of Colorado ballot measures, any help filling the list or expanding the linked articles would be appreciated! -Loren 08:22, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I created this finally. What does anyone think, and can anyone help me perfect it? Editor19841 (talk) 18:49, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added some striping so that the template matches the striping applied to the standardized U.S. state templates (all of which you can find at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. states/state templates. — Webdinger ^{BLAH | SZ} 20:33, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
