Thanks for adding the picture of the Jeffers Petroglyphs. Also, you might be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Minnesota, where we work on articles about Minnesota. Or, if you have a historical bent, there's Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places. (The Zumbrota Covered Bridge at Image:ZumbrotacoveredbridgeSM.jpg is on the National Register.) Happy editing! --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 04:44, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

As far as the meetup goes, it's actually this Sunday, the 29th, 1 PM, at the Tucci Benucch at the Mall of America. Wikipedia talk:Meetup/Minneapolis has more information on it. I don't think there's a set plan or agenda for the meetup -- it's just for people to say "hi" and to get to know one another.
As far as the {{WikiProject Minnesota}} tag goes, it should go on any page that's related to Minnesota. "Related to" is a fuzzy concept, and nobody has really defined it yet. Generally, I'd say that any article that can go into Category:Minnesota or a subcategory (like Category:Minnesota state parks, Category:Cities in Minnesota) would qualify for the project. I don't know about companies based outside of Minnesota that do business here, but it's probably no big deal either way. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 05:20, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Apologies for jumping into a conversation on someone else's talk page, but there is a late change of location within the Mall of America for the meetup today. See this page for details. We'd love to see you, if you can come. Jonathunder 15:17, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Use of sources

You asked: That just means I can't literally include/upload text and images from the document, but I can use the facts and information as long as I include a reference????

That's correct. You can use the information from the document that Dual Freq linked as long as you mention that you got it from that document. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for more information about how to do this, including the citation templates. Generally, you should list the names of documents (or titles of books, or addresses of Web sites) in the "References" section of the Wikipedia article. Feel free to ask me if you have any more questions. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 21:23, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marie Rudisill

Hi, I missed what Jay Leno said about her relationship to To Kill a Mockingbird in his intro; I think he said something like that she was in it or something. I can't find anything about this online. Did you catch this? Badagnani 05:06, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, no sorry, I totally missed that, didn't see the very start of the show. I did hear Jay say that she appeared on '20' tonight show's and thought about adding that fact, can you back that up?...he mentioned it offhandedly so I figured it may not have been accurate anyway.--Mazzmn 13:27, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
hmm, I did read that Truman Capote (who she helped raise) was the was the inspiration for To Kill a Mockingbird.--Mazzmn 13:05, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Palisades State Park

A tag has been placed on Palisades State Park, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

There is no context in this article

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Spiesr 19:55, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
