Welcome[edit]

Hi MOHistorian, I saw you joined WikiProject Missouri, great to have you on board. In fact I was excited about your name, many Missouri and Midwestern History articles need lots of attention. Some good information about Wikipedia can be found at Wikipedia:Five pillars and Wikipedia:How to edit a page. You can sign your name on talk pages or WikiProject member logs by typing four tildes(~~~~). Let me know if I can help you with anything and I'm eager to see what a professional historian could accomplish here. Thanks! Grey Wanderer (talk) 02:57, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the practical advice. I am new enough that I don't know all, really any of, the finer points including talk pages and WikiProject member logs. My interests at the moment are to add external links to primary source materials and to possibly update lists and other core content. At some point I can start filling in stub articles where I have some knowledge. One thing that I already don't understand is how that there is no stub article for some entries when you search yet there are links to stubs in the text of other stubs or articles. One I noticed last night was the Missouri State Archives in the Missouri Digital Heritage stub.MOHistorian (talk) 03:30, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, what you might be experiencing regarding searches is when you search an article you usually have to have the name exactly right including punctuation and format in order for you to find the article. Sometimes Wikipedians use redirects to make article with slightly different names or capitalizations "redirect" to the actual article, for instance, Columbia, Mo redirects to Columbia, Missouri. Happy editing! Grey Wanderer (talk) 03:04, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome[edit]

Looks like the welcome wagon missed you. Allow me to share some of my favorite wikiresources:

Really useful links:

As a literary historian who feels much as you do about grumbling colleagues, I look forward to your contributions. DavidOaks (talk) 03:12, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Upcoming Wikimedia events in Missouri and Kansas![edit]

You're invited to 3 exciting events Wikipedians are planning in your region this June—a tour and meetup at the National Archives in Kansas City, and Wiknics in Wichita and St. Louis:

Kansas City: Saturday, June 16, starting at 9 a.m. — National Archives in Kansas City

This full-day event will include a tour of the facility; presentations from National Archives Wikipedian-in-Residence, Dominic McDevitt-Parks, and Exhibit Specialist, Dee Harris; and time in the research room to work on projects. The focus of the projects will be scanning, writing articles, transcribing, or categorizing images on Commons.

Wikipedians from St. Louis and elsewhere in the region are encouraged to make a day-trip of it and come to Kansas City for this special opportunity!

And two local editions of the Great American Wiknic, the "picnic anyone can edit." Come meet (and geek out with, if you want) your local Wikipedians in a laid-back atmosphere:

Wichita: Saturday, June 23, starting at 1 p.m. — Central Riverside Park

Join the 1st annual Wichita Wiknic: The Sunflower State blooms Free Knowledge!

St. Louis: Saturday, June 23, starting at 11 a.m. — Forest Park Visitors' Center

Join the 2nd annual St Louis Wiknic: The Gateway to the West is now The Gateway to the Wiki!
