[edit] 32d Air Division

I propose re-naming the above division "32nd Air Division" to bring it into conformity with the standard naming convention of the other U.S. Air Divisions. If you agree, I volunteer to do the leg-work to ensure there are no dead Wikilinks. Pen of bushido 17:44, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

News ---Grand Forks now a Featured Article--- Grand Forks, North Dakota was recently designated as a Featured Article. This means that the article has gone through a nomination process in which it was reviewed and its quality was assessed. The fact that this article made it through the process shows that it is a high quality, well-written, well-sourced article. Currently, there are only a little over 1,500 Featured Articles in the almost two million articles on the English language Wikipedia. That means that only about one in 1,270 articles has been given this designation. 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--- You're likely aware that all WPND articles now include a quality rating located on the article's talk page. Now, a new assessment parameter is being implemented. The importance rating aims to gauge the "importance" of the article's subject as it relates to North Dakota. As an example, Bismarck, North Dakota would not be considered as being very important in relation to the country or the world, but it is of top importance when considering just the state of North Dakota. 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.
Please help to improve and expand these articles which were recently added to the WPND project: Cities Area Transit | Dakota Territory Air Museum | Fight On Sioux | Fort Totten State Historic Site | Grand Forks Chiefs | It's For You, North Dakota U | List of people from Grand Forks, North Dakota | Log Cabin Museum, Sheyenne, ND | McKenzie Electric Cooperative | North Dakota Democratic-Independent Party | North Dakota Railroad Commission | North Dakota State Cabinet | Old Main (Minot State University-Bottineau) | Pembina State Museum | Politics of North Dakota | Ruth Meiers Hospitality House | Spirit Lake Casino | Stand Up and Cheer (song) | Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation | UND Alma Mater

[edit] 840th Air Division

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have perfomed a web search with the contents of 840th Air Division, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://ranger95.com/airforce/af_divisions/840th_ad.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

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 10:20, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, CSBot catches about 100 copyvios per day— but there is a cost to pay: some amount of false positive that require good faith authors to justify and remove tags. Most people agree it's a small price to pay, but it's still annoying when it happens to one's own articles.  :-) — Coren ^(talk) 15:59, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for assistance

As someone with whom I have reviewed or worked with on an article or talk page, I humbly request your assistance in reviewing the Aggie Bonfire page for Featured Article status. Any/all constructive input is welcomed and appreciated on the FAC nomination page, but please read the instructions for reviewing before you make a comment. Thanks in advance for your assistance. — BQZip01 — ^talk 05:25, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. Any chance you could copy your comments into the FAC nomination page and give us a Support nod? — BQZip01 — ^talk 04:07, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

BTW, Texas A&M has an excellent veteran's affairs department and would likely be very happy to look at your admissions package. My brother is there now working on his Master's degree. I can ask him to look into it if you really are interested. — BQZip01 — ^talk 04:07, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] United States WikiProjects

Just curious why you moved the content of Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/United States WikiProjects into Template:US-related_WikiProjects. The former was already being used as a template by all of the U.S. WikiProjects, it just wasn't in the Template namespace. I don't see the advantage of "nesting" it like this. For example Wikipedia:WikiProject Minnesota transcludes {{Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/United States WikiProjects}}, and now it has to go find the content inside {{Template:US-related_WikiProjects}}. As an analogy, we used to have a bucket of water, and now we have a bucket with a bucket of water inside it. — Jonathan Kovaciny (talk|contribs) 20:59, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I thought I was reducing and simplifying the code on the page. There are also other state projects that use the template, so I was going for standardization too.... If I'm wrong (as, unfortunately, I sometimes am  :-) ...), feel free to revert. Thanks, and have a nice day! - NDCompuGeek 21:06, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

News ---North Dakota articles on Main Page--- This past month, two new North Dakota-related articles appeared in the Main Page's "Did you know?" section. The articles were Zip to Zap and Climate of North Dakota. Congratulations to the creators of these articles — it's always exciting to see North Dakota articles on Wikipedia's Main Page. A request has also recently been made to make Grand Forks, North Dakota a Featured Article of the day. ---Active members and inactive members--- In an effort to more accurately gauge just how large WPND is, the WPND members list has been split into an active and inactive list. If you have not made an edit to a North Dakota-related page within the last three months, you are moved to the inactive list and do not receive the WPND newsletter. If you disagree with moving members to an inactive list, please share your thoughts at the WPND talk page. ---New administrator--- WPND member MatthewUND (talk · contribs) was recently promoted to Administrator status. That means that he has been granted the use of special tools so he can take care of housekeeping tasks such as blocking disruptive users, protecting pages, deleting pages, and quickly reverting edits to pages. It has been mentioned in the past that WPND was in need of an administrator. With MatthewUND's promotion, that is now a reality. Please contact MatthewUND if you are ever in need of an administrator's help.	New articles Please help to improve and expand these new North Dakota-related articles: Bismarck-Mandan Symphony Orchestra · Central North Dakota Steam Thresher's Reunion · Climate of North Dakota · Empire Arts Center · Fort Clark Trading Post State Historic Site · Greater Grand Forks Symphony Orchestra · Herman Beach · Herschel Lashkowitz · Hi-Line Railroad Bridge · List of defunct high schools in North Dakota · List of University of North Dakota people · Media in Carrington, North Dakota · Media in Jamestown, North Dakota · Minnie D.

Hi ND, greetings. Came across this page; you'll probably remember once you look at it that it's one of Ron Mixer's rather misguided articles.

News ---Article deletions--- A series of deletions of North Dakota articles this past month is a good reminder that we need to be careful when creating new articles. Before creating any article, it is a good idea to 1) check out Wikipedia:Notability to see if the subject deserves an article and 2) make sure that worthwhile sources can be found pertaining to the subject and are effectively used to cite the article. Often, instead of simply creating a brand new stub article for a subject, it is a good idea to expand an existing article that in some way can address the subject. ---Peer reviews--- The University of North Dakota and North Dakota State University articles are currently up for peer review. Please take a moment to visit UND's peer review and NDSU's peer review. Read through the articles and then share your opinions of where the articles currently stand and how they might be improved. Peer review is often a step in the process of getting articles to Good Article or Featured Article status. As a WikiProject, we are very much in need of more GA or FA class articles.	Housekeeping ---Mandan demoted--- After a review, the Mandan tribe article is no longer considered Featured Article class. This is a reminder that even after articles have made it all the way to FA class, it is always possible for them to lose that designation. This also means that WPND is down to one FA class article.
	New articles Please help to improve and expand these new North Dakota-related articles: 740th Missile Squadron · 741st Missile Squadron · Bison Illustrated · Carrington High School · KMAV (AM) · Mandak League · NDSU Magazine · Northern Tier Bicycle Route · Phoenix Elementary School · William P.

News ---UND article upgraded--- The University of North Dakota article was recently upgraded to "good article" status. This brings WPND up to two good articles and one featured article. We should work on bringing other North Dakota articles up to a higher status. Look in Category:Top-importance North Dakota articles for articles to work on improving. It would be great to get the main North Dakota article to GA or FA class in the near future. There are also a number of other articles which are close to GA status already...a little work will make them ready for that designation. ---Assessing article importance--- Work continues on assessing the "importance" of all articles that fall under the banner of WPND. Currently, around a third of all articles have been rated for importance.

News ---A new "Good Article"--- WPND now has another new good article: 1997 Red River Flood in the United States. This article was recently split off from the 1997 Red River Flood article. Much of the credit for this article's promotion should go to Nehrams2020 (talk · contribs). ---Let's improve our main article--- For a WikiProject whose focus is the state of North Dakota, there is likely no article that should be more important to us than the North Dakota article itself. We should work on improving this article to at the very least good article status and ideally featured article status. ---UND on the Main Page?--- The University of North Dakota article is currently listed as a good article. Given UND's 125th anniversary ([1]), perhaps we should think about improving this article to featured status so it could potentially be the article of the day in February when the event is officially observed.

[edit] Little context in Category:Officers of the United States Army National Guard

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Officers of the United States Army National Guard, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Officers of the United States Army National Guard is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Officers of the United States Army National Guard, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
