  1. MatthewUND (talk contribs) (June 17, 2005) - I would be very interested in helping out with any aspect of the project you would like me to. I am not overly familiar with the western part of the state, but I would be willing to work on Fargo articles or whatever. I have done almost all that I can think of doing with Grand Forks and UND, but I suppose there is always something else to do.
  2. Poppyhaitian (talk contribs) (August 29, 2005) - I am pretty familiar with the western part of the state. So, I will let our differences slide and I will join you on your crusade to educate the world of the greatness of our state of North Dakota. No longer will we have to quietly by as the ignorant people ask us if Mount Rushmore is in North Dakota. No! We shall let them know of our true monuments like Salem Sue and the Jamestown buffalo!
  3. Alexwcovington (talk contribs) (WPND founder) (August 29, 2005) - I think I'll put my name here just so everyone's on the level. Just one or two more people and we should have enough to get going.
  4. Weatherman90 (talk contribs) (February 2, 2006) - I am from Bismarck myself, so I will focus on improving that article. I could also help with any other cities in eastern North Dakota if needed. I once had a person ask me if we have elecricity here...hopefully I can do something to educate those people! I will also take charge of pages for the past governors of ND. - update
  5. Opes (talk contribs) (February 2, 2006) - I actually made ND along with God. God proposed the idea to me, and I was like, " Yeah, ok." Tell me something you want done, and I will do it. UPDATE: I will work on History of North Dakota Granted I'm not a history major, but I do know quite a bit about the subject. (Opes 23:13, 2 February 2006 (UTC))
  6. Trishymouse (talk contribs) (February 7, 2006) - I will volunteer, silly person that I am. I grew up in St. Vincent, MN but live in Fargo now. St. Vincent in right across the Red River from Pembina, ND. While everyone else seems interested in the larger and more famous aspects of North Dakota, I rather like the more obscure and rural, and dare I say it, historical...
  7. Driken (talk contribs) (April 2, 2006)
  8. Misternuvistor (talk contribs) (February 8, 2006) - I'll definitely lend a hand, I'd be quite honored to assist. I could definitely add info regarding the music scene amongst the younger folk in the state (I noticed The AMP, regarding to such, is mentioned in the Music of North Dakota article), as well as other ND-related subjects, such as the State Capitol & the ND Heritage Center, and adding stub tags (if needed) to ND politician articles...
  9. Milk the cows (talk contribs) (October 10, 2006) - I'm from North Dakota, and my old username was Grejlen, so I'm not a newbie.
  10. DavidA (talk contribs) (February 12, 2006) - Please forgive me for taking so long to get back to you. I certainly would be happy to help, though I'm really the newcomer here. My wife's a Minot]] native, so I'll see if I can get any leads from her too.
  11. Mitchberg (talk contribs) (March 23, 2006) - I'd love to help; I live in the Twins, but am a Rugby native who grew up (through college) in Jamestown. My dad got the eastern half of the state in the divorce, and mom got the west. I can do some history, music (in the seventies and early eighties), media (I grew up in NoDak radio) and of course the greater Jamestown area.
  12. Leopold Samsonite (talk contribs) (March 24, 2006) - I grew up on the western part of the state near Watford City, ND, so I can give as much information as I can.
  13. Doubleplusungood (talk contribs) (March 28, 2006) - I look forward to assisting in any way I can with this project.
  14. jolomo (talk contribs) (May 14, 2006) - My people are all from central NoDak and I have some historical references but only make it to the state once or twice a year (ie few photos)
  15. JWGreen (talk contribs) (July 27, 2006) - I have lived in Grand Forks for most of my life, and my family is from the Cavilier/Bathgate/Neche area. I also work for the Summer Performing Arts Company in Grand Forks. I am looking forward to contributing!
  16. Rickabbo (talk contribs) (August 1, 2006) - I've live in Grand Forks all my life, and I edit mostly Television station pages and media stuff. I'm a newbie, so bare with me.
  17. NDCompuGeek (talk contribs) (December 29, 2006) - I live in the thriving metropolis of Des Lacs (population ~200), roughly 15 miles NW of Minot. I'll try and add what I can, where I can, and be as useful as I can....
  18. Bschott (talk contribs) (January 4, 2007) - I have lived in North Dakota most of my life from Flasher, to Bismarck, to Whapeton, to Minot, to Fargo. I'm very willing to add what I can where I can.
  19. R9tgokunks (talk contribs) (January 4, 2007) - I was born in Bismarck, ND, and i currently live right in the middle of the city of Burlington(the first city in Imperial Ward County), which is right next to Minot; and I started my Wikipedia 'career' by adding an entire history section on Burlington, in early 2005. I currently goto Des-Lacs Burlington HS in the United 12 District, and will be graduating soon. I have ALOT of family around state, and i have been all around North Dakota, especially to Fargo, and Grand Forks.
  20. Distortionmaster20 (talk contribs) (January 4, 2007) - I was born in Miami, Florida and have lived most of my life in Everett, Washington. Twice a year I go out to North Dakota to visit my Grandparents. Personally I love the state and I hope to make good contributions to the page whenever I can.
  21. Bookworm857158367 (talk contribs) (February 11, 2007) -- I am from North Dakota and currently live in Minot. I'll add what I can.
  22. Tazzaler (talk contribs) (February 20, 2007) -- I am from North Dakota, I lived in Bismarck, now currently in Germany. Also Planning to move back in a couple of years to attend college at NDSU. I hope I can contribute a great deal to all North Dakota subject, and particularly ones that pertain to Bismarck, Lincoln and Lisbon.
  23. Amwyll Rwden (talk contribs) (March 05, 2007) -- I have lived in Germany for the past 15 years or so now, but I grew up in Kulm. I look forward to helping the great state of N.D. be better represented on Wikipedia.
  24. Ndstate (talk contribs) (March 23, 2007) -- I have been a consistent user of wikipedia for years so I thought I would start to contribute. I am mostly familiar with the eastern part of the state so I will work on these articles.
