[edit] WikiProject U.S. Congress

I'd like to thank you for your work on some of the congressional district articles, especially Oregon. I'd also like to invite you to join Project Congress where we try to coordinate the efforts of quite a few good wikipedians tackling the quite numerous articles needed to adequately document that storied institution. Take a look at the project page to see the project scope and some resources, scroll down to the bottom and sign up, then keep doin' what your doin' with the congressional articles. Good luck.--G1076 19:33, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oregon stuff

Thanks for all your hard work on the Oregon political articles, especially the ones that will be affected by today's election. And I'm glad to see you joined WikiProject Oregon. Welcome and happy editing! Katr67 17:48, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dead link on Denny Smith article

Hi. On Denny Smith, the URL in a cite you added [1] seems to now point to a different and unrelated article. Since it was an intermediate online republication of a NY Times article, the print version should probably be cited and the link removed, but I thought I would check with you before doing anything further. -- "J-M" (Jgilhousen) 09:37, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for spotting that. I was editing several articles at once and I guess my clipboard had the wrong URL on it when I pasted. Anyway, it works now. It requires a NY Times subscription, but I figure it's OK because it contains all the appropriate info if someone wants to get the paper version instead of springing for the free online subscription. -- Sprkee 19:41, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for correcting it. I took the liberty of adding the rest of the bibliographic info to the cite for the print edition per MoS, and noted it as requiring subscription for viewing online (although people would find that out pretty fast by clicking on it.) I think this article is overdue for expansion, but I've got a ton of others on my "to do" list. By the way, I use Wikipedia:Citation templates to make sure I don't leave something out in my ref's, and they automagically format properly. -- "J-M" (Jgilhousen) 21:50, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Great. Thanks. It sounds like we are working on the same types of articles. Good to know someone else will read it and clean up the mess. ;-) I discovered those templates as well, I just haven't gotten around to retrofitting everything. Thanks again. -- Sprkee 21:58, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
By the way, how did you figure out what page the article was on? I don't see it in the online version. Sprkee 22:00, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bow Down To Washington

Hello -- yes, if I copy/paste the URL I can access the mp3, but they seem to perhaps be banning deep links from Wikipedia. If you click on the link instead of pasting in the URL, you get a "Forbidden" notice along with a 404. I think we shouldn't be deep-linking in that case. There are several audio files for the song on http://www.lib.washington.edu/Music/bowdown.html . We could also link to that fightmusic page, but he doesn't provide a way to link directly to his Washington section. Thoughts? ManekiNeko | Talk 14:33, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
