[edit] Hello

Hi. Just wanted to say thank you for the updates to the exit lists on the Interstate 195 (Rhode Island-Massachusetts) page. I noticed you're a ham as well. Are you on 1.25m at all by chance? Cheers! --K1vsr (talk) 14:45, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] History of merit badges

Welcome!

Hello, KB1KOI, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 

I'd like to add a note about your contributions to History of merit badges (Boy Scouts of America). We already have a detailed list of current merit badges at Merit badge (Boy Scouts of America). Adding to this article, as it is, just adds clutter, so I've gone ahead and merged your list with the existing one at Merit badge (Boy Scouts of America). Thanks. — Rebelguys2 talk 23:05, 23 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Scouting article work

If you are getting this, it is because you do or did work on Scouting articles (see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Scouting#Participants_and_primary_areas_of_interest).

As the Scouting WikiProject has been formed since early January 2006, we've had many great improvements made in this area of Wiki and I want to personally thank everyone for their help. We don't always agree on things, but we keep moving forward. YIS, Rlevse 22:09, 25 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] WikiProject Amateur radio

Hello. I see that you have listed yourself as a licensed Amateur radio operator. Please consider taking a look at a proposal to setup a WikiProject Amatateur radio. Thank you. --StuffOfInterest 18:39, 22 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Sidebar redesign final vote!

It's that special, special time! No, grandma's not coming over. No, not time to clean out the fridge. It's sidebar redesign voting time! Yes, the community has narrowed it down to 3 different options, and a vote for the same old original sidebar is a choice one could vote for as well. Voting for multiple options is allowed, and discussion on the whole shebang is right there on the vote page itself.

You're probably getting this message because the sidebar fairy (JoeSmack for now) noticed you commented on the project at some time over on at Wikipedia talk:Village pump (proposals)/Sidebar redesign. Lovely. JoeSmack Talk 07:13, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] An important letter

Dear roads editor,

You may have noticed some changes at WP:USRD lately. Some of them, like the cleanup templates and the stub templates, have been astounding and great. Unfortunately, others have been disturbing.

This has become evidenced by the departure of a few prominent editors at USRD, a few RFC's, and much fighting among USRD editors.

After the second RFC, many of us found the opportunity to take a step away from Wikipedia for a while--as a self-imposed wikibreak, or possibly on vacation.

The result of such introspection was that many of us were placing ourselves in a "walled garden" and on a self-imposed pedestal of authority over the roads department. Also, we were being hostile to a few users who were not agreeing with us.

In fact, IRC has been the main incarnation of this "walled garden." Decisions have been made there to conduct grudges and prejudices against a few valued USRD users with poor justification.

For this, we have come to apologize. We have come to ask your forgiveness.

In addition to this, we hope to work as one USRD team from now on and to encourage cooperation instead of the promotion of interests.

All users are welcome to collaborate on IRC, the newsletter, or anywhere else at USRD.

In the future, please feel free to approach us about any issues you may have.

Regards,

[edit] Infobox proposal

I have been trying to nudge the infobox proposal system (Wikipedia:List of infoboxes/Proposed) to using subpages which allows for easier development of an infobox, use of discussion page in the process and finally easily preserve all of this with an easier system of activating a completed proposal.

I note that there has been no recent discussion at Wikipedia:List_of_infoboxes/Proposed#Electronic_Components and that there already is a Template:Infobox Electronic Component (which in its description links back to the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Infoboxes) - the parameters are different in these two. What, if any further work, or merging of ideas is needed, or should the entry in Wikipedia:List of infoboxes/Proposed now be removed ? David Ruben Talk 00:02, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Better source request for Image:MA(Yawgoog).jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:MA(Yawgoog).jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talkpage. Thank you. OsamaK (talk) 06:14, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wesconnaug, Rhode Island

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Wesconnaug, Rhode Island, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Wesconnaug, Rhode Island.

[edit] Automatic Packet Reporting System

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Automatic Packet Reporting System, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Automatic Position Reporting System. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:03, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
