Hi — I just wanted to let you know about {{gnis}}. When you're citing the GNIS, as you did with Strunk, Kentucky, please don't copy/paste the URL of the entry; as you can see at their FAQ page, the pages are dynamically generated, so you can't count on a later reader being able to use your reference. {{gnis}} removes all the dynamically generated portion of the URL and formats the link in a much nicer manner.

I appreciate the inivation to the task force and I am considering joining. I really enjoy working on state parks. Lately I've been trying to get a DYK for all 50 states.

I've noticed some tidying up you have done on some of my articles (Pound Gap), and just wanted to thank you! I'm new at wikipedia entries and I haven't yet figured out how to do everything as well put together as you do. I tried to figure it out and I get cite errors so I just do the basics for now. I have some pictures (of my own) to put up but I haven't yet figured out how to do that. Anyways, I really just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your help.

{{helpme}} Is there any way to move a table, such as the one shown, to the left side of the page?

One way is to use <div style="float:left;">page element</div>

Like so:

Is there any way to move the same table to the far left side of the page and not slightly to the left? Thanks!

J654567 (talk) 20:57, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's to the far left for me. But add this code:

I was wondering if some images from the Kentuckiana Digital Library were in the public domain and if they are acceptable for use on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. Many of the images were created by the WPA and some were created prior to January 1, 1923. Below are links to sample images:

• Former Paintsville City Hall Creator: Goodman, George (Director of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in Kentucky)

• Flooded Salyersville, Kentucky Date:1918

With the first of what I hope will be monthly newsletters I again want to welcome you to the project and hope that as we all work together through the year we can expand the project, create missing articles and generally improve the pedia thought mutual cooperation and support. Now that we have a project and a solid pool of willing members I wanted to strike while the iron is hot and solicite help in doing a few things that I believe is a good next step in solidifiing the project. I have outlined a few suggestions where you can help with on the projects talk page. This includes but is not limited too updating Portal:United States, assessing the remaining US related articles that haven't been assessed, eliminating the Unrefernced BLP's and others. If you have other suggestions or are interested in doing other things feel free. I just wanted to offer a few suggestions were additional help is needed. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments or suggestions or you can always post something on the projects talk page.

A tag has been placed on File:PMC logo.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on 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. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 13:32, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Would you like to help improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to the National Archives and its incredible collection? This summer, the National Archives—which houses some of America's most important historical documents—is hosting me as its Wikipedian in Residence, and I have created WP:NARA to launch these efforts. There are all sorts of tasks available for any type of editor, whether you're a writer, organizer, gnome, coder, or image guru. The National Archives is making its resources available to Wikipedia, so help us forge this important relationship! Please sign up and introduce yourself. Dominic·t 15:22, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Pikeville College logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
• If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click to file an un-delete request.
• To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
• If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Hi- I LOVE coal towns, hence my user name, Coal town guy. I have joined the Eastern KY task force. I think I can help out a certain category issue here and of course as you created the project, I would love your feedback. IF you look at Mining Communitites in KY as a category, it is not very populated. IMO, and I stress IMO, the KY coal towns I have identified in the Coal towns category (640+ pages strong and growing) are a tad better identified for the singular reason that many coal towns, NOT just KY, were NOT mining communities in the definition provided here in Wiki.....I would very much like to help with the cdreation of a cat for KY coal towns, and of course WV coal towns etc etc. Let me know what you thinkCoal town guy (talk) 13:47, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We noticed though that when you edited List of hospitals in Kentucky, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lourdes Hospital (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

WikiProject Louisville		What's New in WikiProject Louisville? (Nov 2015)
		Thank you for your continued membership in WikiProject Louisville! Our project is still alive and mildly kicking after over 9 years in operation. If by chance you're not up-to-date with what's going on in the project, here's some of the more recent goings-on: We have over 6,100 articles included in the project and almost 17,000 pages (including talk pages) overall. Our list of project tasks have been moved to a project subpage. This was done because the project's main page was getting rather long and perhaps difficult to digest. "One-stop shopping" for our project's tasks! Our Membership department has been revamped. A lot of membership-related things have been clarified. Did you know: You can patrol recent changes to any page included in our project? Great for stopping vandalism and more! You can see which of our project's pages are the most popular? You can easily focus on and fix specific kinds of problems (such as cite date errors) within our project? If you would like to opt out of receiving WikiProject Louisville newsletters, please add your name to the "Opt out of newsletters" list on our Active participants page.

	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
