If I could have a minute.....

A member's birthday (OldWestHistorian) is today, and I want to make sure they have a happy birthday. So could you stop by their talk page and wish them a happy birthday? I know you probably don't know them, but like I said I want to make sure they have a good birthday. The Utahraptor ^Talk 13:50, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Thankyou very much

I saw your post on the Village Pump about using {{rp}} and it is exactly what I was looking for for the Lilith article. Thanks for the lesson. Alatari (talk) 08:13, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Fielding Garr Ranch article

Hello. I am developing an article for the Fielding Garr Ranch, located on Antelope Island. I was wondering if you would like to drop by my sandbox and help me develop this article? I would very much appreciate it. Thank you. The Utahraptor ^Talk 14:45, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 23:50, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorting the "fully-illustrated" list

I had no idea that it was chronological; when I would add a link to that page, I would add it below the rest of the lists with the same number of entries, but I didn't know that anyone else did that. If you look at the version just before I rearranged it, you'll see that at least Oneida County, Idaho and Taylor County, Florida are out of order; links like that made me think that it was only haphazardly arranged. Nyttend (talk) 16:37, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

If we make it strictly chronological, we have two other issues — (1) many links just give a month, so it's rather hard to arrange the 3-entry links properly. (2) If an additional property is listed in an already-fully-illustrated list and quickly photographed, it would be put at the end of the new list because it had just had a new photo added, even though it might have been fully illustrated for quite a while. Auglaize County, Ohio just had a new listing a month ago, and I almost immediately went to photograph it, but the fact that it newly had 24 pictures obscured the fact that it had been fully illustrated since last March.

Article vs. Wikipedia Article

I would have thought that the "Neutral self-references are acceptable" section of Wikipedia:SELF applies. In addition, adding "Wikipedia" makes the sentence less ambiguous, and having "Wikipedia" in a comment does not seem to violate Wikipedia:SELF. Roger Hui (talk) 15:21, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Barton Kay Kirkham

Thank you for taking the initiative to assess this new article so promptly. I would like to know if you have any quick suggestions or comments to improve it. KimChee (talk) 03:28, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Good eye

I had gotten used to working on enough articles related to Utah that I did not notice I had left the state. KimChee (talk) 04:07, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Payson, UT

Thanks for finding the new official site. I did look through the first 20 or so links in Google, but it comes out at about link 25. ~Araignee (talk • contribs) 06:32, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

"known as arsenic"

thanks for correcting the mistake I made with the wording in the GFAJ-1 article! I'm a little new at this and sometimes I try too hard to sound "encyclopedic" that it doesn't work out as well as it should lol! DeeRD (talk) 16:16, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

DYK for Grover, Utah

On 15 December 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Grover, Utah, which you created or substantially expanded.

Meetup in January

Interested in attending a Utah Wikipedia Meetup?
If you are interested in a Utah meetup, please visit Wikipedia talk:Meetup/Utah and voice your interest. Not in the Utah area? Check out other meetups around the world!

Hi Ntsimp, I'm sure you've been invited before, but I'm hoping you might make the January 15th meetup for Wikipedia's tenth anniversary. I'm not sure what part of the state you're in, but currently the suggestions sound like some Wikipedians will meet in Davis County. GreenGlass^(talk) 21:55, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Photo requests

Hey! I notice you have been adding photo requests to Utah articles. I have updated {{WikiProject Utah}} to include a |photo= parameter. If you set the parameter to yes then it does the same as the template you adding currently. --Admrboltz (talk) 22:57, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

NRHP nom docs vs. NRIS

Hey, I noticed your edit to Mount Pleasant Commercial Historic District (Mount Pleasant, Utah) which is on my watchlist for some reason. Glad to see you add the actual NRHP nom doc to that article, and also I see in recent contribs you've added similar to other Utah ones. It's lucky for Utah that it is one of relatively few states where those are almost all on-line now. But, I disagree with your deleting the NRIS database reference. NRIS is actually the source for the infobox info, so it must be kept in, as proper documentation of where we got the info from. And, usually the NRHP nom doc doesn't have some of what NRIS carries (i.e. the NRHP listing date and reference num, not available at time of application, for example).

I revised that one article. Could you possibly consider restoring the NRIS reference in the other articles you've recently edited? But, mainly it's great to see you adding the more substantial NRHP nom doc reference. Thanks! --do ncr am 20:14, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
