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 here

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited RimWorld, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page DLC. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 05:58, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Clarityfiend was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:BIO and WP:POLITICIAN. Sourcing falls far short of the requirements of WP:GNG, and mayors of small towns (i.e. under 100K) are not generally considered notable.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Cephas Perry Quattlebaum and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Cephas Perry Quattlebaum, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
• If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the , on the or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, DogsRNice. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Cephas Perry Quattlebaum, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 07:19, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, DogsRNice. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Cephas Perry Quattlebaum".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:22, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

First, thank you for adding short descriptions to articles that need them. Just some advice that when possible, please try to stay under 40 characters in length per WP:SDFORMAT. Sometimes it helps to avoid repeating words from the title in the short description. Thanks! -- GoneIn60 (talk) 20:38, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I always try to keep at as short as possible but places often present an issue since specifying the location (something like "city, state, country" which seems important to add since wikipedia is used by people around the world) can take up quite a few characters, and honestly 40 characters is insufficient for some concepts, at least from what I can come up with.

But I will make an effort to shorten them more. DogsRNice (talk) 20:47, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, just thought I'd mention it, but it looks like you're already aware! I think the main reasoning behind it is so that the description doesn't get cut off on mobile devices that have lower resolutions. Cheers! --GoneIn60 (talk) 22:45, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! You seem to have an interest in the recent death of Elizabeth II, so I wanted to invite to the WikiProject of Current Events new task force The London Bridge Task Force, which will be working on improving all the articles around the death of Elizabeth II. A task force is similar to a WikiProject, which is where you can communicate with other editors who all have the same goal, which is improving all the articles around a specific topic. I hope you consider joining! Elijahandskip (talk) 23:43, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:36, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

I wanted to explain the changes I had made on 1 August 2024 on the aforementioned list.

I had originally made the edit because I felt that it was too definitive to say that the fire was caused by arson as the DA of Butte County had, himself, said he did not believe that suspected arsonist Ronnie Dean Stout II had actually intentionally started the fire. [1]

At the time, I believed that making such a statement on what is surely a popular wiki page was could potentially do unintended damage to the suspect reputation.

However, looking at more articles, I am...uh...significantly less inclined to be coming to the defense of Mr. Stout. [2] And, look, plainly, I don't think there was any other "real" source of the fire. Proper sentencing or not, I don't think it would be the most wrong thing in the world to call it arson. [3]
