Hey, I'm working on a new userbox for theatre techs. I'll let you know when I finish it. By the way, thanks for getting a picture of barn doors. KeepOnTruckin 01:03, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- Ok I think I have it, see my talk page for new code. Picture is cropped a bit better. I hope I didn't force you to put the box on...just if you were interested. And then a whole announcement on your page...I don't get a a lot of recognition as a tech or anything else. KeepOnTruckin 21:31, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

- Glad to see you joined the wikiproject: staegcraft. And thanks for making the artical on the Source 4 PAR. I was calling it the S4 PARnel, is that correct?KeepOnTruckin 01:10, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- Jordan! I couldn't find many local people on here. Glad to see you.

[edit] North Dakota AFDs
Your input would be appreciated at the AFDs for the ND-related Grand Cities Mall and Hawktree Golf Club. The Grand Cities Mall article is especially important at this time. --AlexWCovington (talk) 19:38, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Smile!
DPM has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!
ahhh! feel the smile...
Hey! Um I'm a welcomer (Not officialy. But, there probably is'nt a list of official welcomers...) anyway if you would like me to welcome you I will but that would make your userpage a subbier stub. (You would have to take away the part about not being welcomed.) Unless that is you were to rant about how happy you were that you got welcomed. Sorry about that. That paragragh that could have been a simple little sentence like:
Hi I can welcome if you want.DPM
That would be it and I would be done likety split. Oh... Sorry... I did It again. (that makes me think of a very bad song)Oh well. YOU GET IT. DPM 00:33, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 13:53, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concordia Newsletter
Concordia is currently trying to relaunch. I, and all the members of the ex-council, wish to welcome new members to the group. We are a group who aim to promote remaining civil, in an environment where messages can easily be interpretated wrongly.
[edit] Help out now!
- Try and help people remain civil! Talk to them, and help them in any way possible. Do not be afraid to use the talk page.
- Give people the Civility Barnstar.
- Make and spread some Wikitokens so people know there are people to help if they want assistance.
- Add banners or logos to your userpage to show your support.
- Suggest some ideas! Add 'em to the talk page.
We are a community, so can only work though community contributions and support. It's the helping that counts.
[edit] Decision Making
The council expired one month ago, but due to the current position of the group the current council will remain until the position of the group can be assessed, and whether it would be sensible to keep Concordia going. For most decisions, however, it will be decided by all who choose to partake in discussions. I am trying to relaunch because of the vast amounts of new members we have received, demonstrating that the aims are supported.
If you wish to opt of of further talk-page communications, just let us know here.

[edit] MatthewUND's RfA
I just self-nominated myself for administrator's status on Wikipedia. As an active member of WikiProject North Dakota, I feel that having admin status would allow me the ability to be more useful to the project and to curtail vandalism and other problems. An admin is able to protect pages that are being bombarded with vandalism and to more quickly revert pages that have been vandalized. I've always hoped that we could get an admin to join the WikiProject so we would have someone to turn to in times of need. Since we still don't have an active admin within the project's membership, I decided to nominate myself. I really hope you will visit my request for adminship and support me. Thanks! --MatthewUND(talk) 10:48, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Red Pepper
Jordan, I really don't think we can call the Red Pepper an "attraction" for the entire state of ND. It may have a cult following in GF, but I just don't think it really qualifies as a ND attraction. Leave me a message if you disagree. Have a nice day! --MatthewUND(talk) 07:02, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Stagelink
Hi there. I noticed that you've removed all the links to Stagelink after an IP user updated them the other day. I'm not going to re-instate them as I know the person who runs the site, but it is a bona-fide stagecraft links site, and pretty useful. What I'm saying is, I don't think it was spam - they've just changed the syntax of their internal links and the IP user was fixing the links so they didn't 404. Bryson430 11:42, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. I'm the webmaster and run the stagelink website. Could you give me an update on why all of the links were removed? Bryson correctly guessed that I was just updating all of the links to a new syntax but now you've gone and removed them all and I'm not quite sure why? Piersshepperd 19:29, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for resolving this. I've now set myself up as a user, to hopefully avoid this happening in the future. Piersshepperd 08:29, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Senior Senator
Hey. I do not know you, but i see you are a member of North Dakota Wikiproject. Please, could you answer my question. I would like to point out that in 1992, Kent Conrad retired, and Byron Dorgan won. Dorgan is still in the Senate. And then Conrad ran and won a few years later. Wouldn't this make Dorgan senior senator from North Dakota??
Thanks, Politics rule 23:01, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flood image
I agree with you. The Blue Moose should be in the picture and there are rails on the bridge. Like you said, I'm sure there are other things, but I'm not familiar enough with downtown of the 1970s and 1980s to be able to pick them out. It must be from '79. I removed it from the 1997 flood article. You have a good eye! --MatthewUND(talk) 04:32, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

News WPND member NDCompuGeek has constructed the initial framework for the portal and it should now be easy to update the portal on a month-by-month basis. The portal will serve as a kind of "front door" for people using Wikipedia to learn more about North Dakota. It is a great starting point for branching out into the many aspects of the state. Each month a different article, picture, city, and biography will be showcased along with current news and happenings from around the state. The July version of the portal showcases the Mandan tribe, Governor John Hoeven, and the capital city of Bismarck. Visit the portal's talk page to share your opinions and ideas regarding the portal. |

News The Grand Forks article is a great example to follow when working on other city articles, particularly those about North Dakota cities. We would be very well off if our other major city articles were similar to the Grand Forks article. Keep the Grand Forks article bookmarked and refer to its structure and style when you work on similar articles. ---New assessment parameter--- The importance of each article is gauged as either Top, High, Mid, or Low. Since "importance" is a rather subjective term, some WPND members are trying to come up with a general set of guidelines. Check out this thread on the WPND talk page to see proposals and to share your own opinions of what is and isn't "important" in the state. |

[edit] Basis in policy
Hi, I'm wondering if you would demonstrate the basis in Wikipedia policy for your request on the will o' the wisp / ghost light merger talk page. Thanks, Antelan talk 01:00, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Why you were there
A comment by an anonymous IP who clearly knows Perfectblue apparently triggered Perfectblue to oppose the merger with a rather specious argument. I can produce the diff if you're interested, but it's not a particularly big deal. However, it left me in a suspicious state of mind. Questioning you on why you showed up to comment on the talk page was hasty of me. Please accept my apologies. Antelan talk 21:00, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] No worries
You may not be aware of this, but there is quite a long history regarding myself, Perfectblue, and Martinphi. Consensus can be abused, and these two are notorious for doing so. I appreciate your gesture of good faith, but you might want to be careful about how you characterize the actions of others with regards to this sticky thing called "consensus". ScienceApologist (talk) 18:17, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re.:Will-o'-the-wisp vs Ghostlight: Merger Damages Wikipedia's Reputation
Ghostlight is merged with the former. The intro of the former will cause readers to assume that a ghostlight is seen in swampy areas, when in fact some are seen in the driest of places, such as Marfa, Texas and Iran. This merge will further damage Wikipedia's reputation, since it implies that Wikipedia cannot tell a swampy area from a desert area. I am close to the locations of at least four of these, and NOT ONE is in a SWAMPY area at all. 65.163.115.114 (talk) 17:37, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
