Thanks Tarret! It's always useful to have stuff like that in an easy-to-find place. I've already created my first article, A Dweller in Two Planets!

A Dweller in Two Planets

Salmar, please take a look at CliffR, then at The Revelatorium, then at the Revelatorium website itself, particularly Chapter 19 where some of the info from the Dweller on Two Planets' is included. In particular see how the info is dovetailed into a much bigger picture of Atlantis. Then see how the whole chapter dovetails into the bigger picture as the Revelatorium as a whole. Then see how The Revelatorium itself dovetails into the beginning of the Great Age of Aquarius and its outpouring of the waters of truth which are now starting to unfold. History was made at the time of Atlantis, mostly lost. History was made again at the time of Melchizedek, which became part and parcel of the Old Testament. History was made again at the time of Christ which became the New Testament. History is being made again now at the advent of the Aquarian Age, the Age of Enlightenment. You see how everything ties together. As a student of such matters, this should be your most exciting moment. As there are a thousand mentions I would like to eventually be able to add into the Wikipedia, can you give me a list of the topics you edit in my CliffR discussion page and I can start with those. You can delete them if they do not meet the criteria, and hopefully comment on them so I can learn from my mistakes. Thanks. CliffR 06:22, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Redirect problem

Hi! I noticed your redirect problem on the Help desk, and others have had a similar problem. Can you tell me if you have "Disable page caching" ticked or not in Special:Preferences > Misc? Thanks, it may help to understand the problem.--Commander Keane 16:19, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

New NRHP Collaboration Division

Hey, saw you were a participant in the National Register of Historic Places WikiProject. I thought I would let you know that there is a new Collaboration Division up for the project. The goal of the division is to select an article or articles for improvement to Good article standard or higher. There is a simple nomination process, which you can check out on the division subpage, to make sure each candidate for collaboration has enough interested editors. This is a good way to get a lot of articles to a quality status quickly. Please consider participating. More details can be seen at the division subpage. IvoShandor 11:16, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Thomas Joseph Drury

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Thomas Joseph Drury, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Addhoc 21:17, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Horicon Marsh

I am responding to your request for a photo for the article. I get through the Horicon area occasionally. What would you like a picture of? The place is a huge marsh with no prominent features - just a bunch of swamp grass and cattails! I think there is a hill along the east edge, but would you like to see an overview of grass?

Alaibot and malformed redirects

You're right, it tags intended-to-be-redirects as stubs (or uncategorised) if they're not correctly formed. That's probably not ideal, but it's not entirely clear how to identify and correct them in an automated manner that'd be completely reliable. At least they'll eventually get human eyeballs on them by tagging them into some sort of cleanup category, even though it's not actually the right one. Alai 00:05, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Langdon Comprehensive School

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Langdon Comprehensive School, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. User:Pedant 17:45, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

List of Governors of Wisconsin/Orland Loomis

Many thanks for adding Orland Loomis to the list.I always thought he should had been added. Concerning the Governor of Wisconsin there were some additional constitutional changes maded: 1- During the administration of Governor Rusk, the political election year was changed from odd years to even years-Article XIII section 1. 1882?? 2- In 1967, Article V, section 3 -the joint election of the governor&lieutenant governor was instituted effective with election of 1970. 3- Article IV, section 9 and I think another provision of the Wisconsin State Constitution were amended in April of 1977 allowing the Wisconsin State Senate elect their own presiding officer. Thus Lt Gov. Russell Olson ceased to be President of the Senate. At that time provisions about the Lieutenant Governor being acting governor also took effect. Thanks-RFD 20:05, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

In the last month, you have created a new WP:FL. From what I can tell, this is your first one. Congratulations! You may not be aware of WP:LOTD. We are experimenting with selecting Lists of the Day so similar to the current WP:TFA and WP:POTD features that run on the main page. I invite you to participate.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 21:36, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Orland Steen Loomis

Do you think the Orland Steen Loomis article needs an information box, etc. Thank you-RFD (talk) 18:02, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

I added Template:Infobox Person, since the Governor infobox was unable to handle such a complex situation (either his title or Goodland's had to be wrong, and either the note mentioning he never took office had to look hideous, or he had to be listed as "incumbent", both of which were obviously considerably less than ideal). As for Template:WIGovernors, I'm less sure. If he could be added to it in a way that made it clear he never actually was governor, without making the template look bad, I'd say yes. —Salmar ^(talk) 20:46, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks for the message. In the 1960 Wisconsin Blue Book, the feature article was the biographies of Wisconsin governors there was a biography about Orland Loomis that was included. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 00:45, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Governor of Wisconsin-recall election

I read the Governor of Wisconsin article. In addition to removing the Governor from office with impeachment, you can also remove the Governor from office with recall. See Article XIII section 12 of the Wisconsin Constitution. In La Crosse, Wisconsin, the Board of Education was recall from office twice and I voted in the 2 recall elections as a result. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 13:20, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you; I was unaware of that fact. I added a mention of recall elections to the "Removal" section of the Governor of Wisconsin article, but it's rather vague at the moment. I'm confused as to how to interpret this: "The recall petition shall be signed by electors equaling at least twenty-five percent of the vote cast for the office of governor at the last preceding election, in the state, county or district which the incumbent represents." (Article XIII, Section 12, subsection (1)) I presume that this means that the petition would need to be signed by 25% of the voters in the state, but I hesitated before putting that in the article. Do you, by any chance, know if this is correct? Thanks —Salmar ^(talk) 14:50, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I think it depends who you are trying to recall. I assumed it would be 25% of the voters in Wisconsin if you are trying to recall the governor. but even that I am not sure of. Former Wisconsin State Senator Gary George of Milwaukee was recall from office.That one I remember. While on the subject of removing elected officials from office, any Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, and Circuit Court judges can be removed from office by 2/3s of the 2 houses of the State Legislature by address of the Legislature in addition to recall and impechment. The address provision would be in the judiciary article of the Wisconsin Constitution. Thanks-RFD (talk) 15:51, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

The address provision is in section 13 of Article VII of the Wisconsin constitution also section 11 of Article VII of the Wisconsin Constitution provides dor the discipline and removal of judges, etc. by the Wisconsin State Supreme Court, etc. Thanks-RFD (talk) 16:04, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
