[edit] New WikiProject

Anything related to the Natural State is welcome here for discussion. Feel free to contribute to the effort! — ArkansasTraveler 01:55, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


Like ArkansasTraveler, I'm from White County, AR and would appreciate people who might be able to move entries for places such Georgetown, AR, Kensett, AR, and West Point, AR beyond the minimally adequate recitation of demographics. Sadly, I no longer live in THE Natural State: the one I live it seems just as rural, though thoroughly cultivated.

[edit] Settlements?

Do Arkansans think of their cities as settlements? Well, check out Category:Settlements in Arkansas that's as of today in your category hierarchy. I reverted it out for Kentucky, and I recommend all states do it as well. Kentucky uses "Subdivisions" and Massachusetts uses "Administrative divisions" (both reasonable). "Settlements" are for pioneer days, not for contemporary political subdivisions. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 04:06, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Historic NRHPs and NHLs in Arkansas

Hi. I've been working on a List of National Historic Landmarks in Arkansas, and could use some help. It links to a separate article on each of the 17 NHLs in the state. Editing help for the descriptions in the list article and in any of the linked articles would be appreciated. Also, photos would be helpful. In the same vein, there are lots more sites that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, covered in List of Registered Historic Places in Arkansas, that can use a photo or editing. The NHLs are arguably more important, but wherever you know about a site and feel like contributing, please do! doncram 02:28, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please Help: LrTiger74

If you all know anything about the Arkansas State Red Wolves, or about their mascot, Red (mascot), please edit them.

And I also need help with the class system and ranking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LrTiger74 (talk • contribs) 03:13, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Arkansas Governors

Does anybody know if Joe Purcell & Bob C. Riley were Governors of Arkansas (not just Acting Governors)? Please, we need clarification. GoodDay (talk) 22:34, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Harrison

Those interested in (or living in) Arkansas may wish to know that a self-described "Klansman" has announced in Talk:Harrison, Arkansas that he will be keeping an eye on the article on Harrison. This vigilance may already be leading to a minor edit war. -- Hoary (talk) 00:18, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Photo request

Any Wikipedians in Pine Bluff? I have a photo request for an oddball article. The article hasn't materialized yet but it will, it really needs a photo to be worth its salt though. McDonald's Sign anyone? If anyone can do it, it would be greatly appreciated. IvoShandor (talk) 09:00, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Bump, here's hoping that someone from Pine Bluff comes along. IvoShandor (talk) 12:21, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Done. Broooooooce (talk) 13:51, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Is there anybody out there?

I'd really like for this project to become more productive, with enthusiastic members and collaborative efforts to improve the encyclopedia. Is there anyone out there paying attention to this project? I've added six new articles this month, one of which is GA--I'd like someone to work together with!
