Hello Country Wife
Hello Country Wife! It is so good to have you here. I'm very interested in Northwest history including the fur trade. I don't know much yet. I like to get things started and see them take off. I have created or worked on, a little, Sacagewea, Jaco Finlay, Finan McDonald, Fort Colville, Red River Academy, Frank Matsura, St. Paul Mission, Spokane House, Kootanae House,. I don't have any books with me now. So I will probably flesh them out when I get some books. Have you ever been to the Colville, Washington museum? They have a great northwest history library. I'd like to take a laptop in there and work for a week or so... Mine are all stubs. But that gives you an idea of what I will be working on. I'll see you around. --cda 00:06, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Mystery photo
Hi Country Wife, I wanted to let you know about a little summer contest I'm having to identify a mystery vintage photo. I thought you might be interested. [http://featurepics.com/PhotoMisteryContest/Sisters.aspx Mystery Contest] --cda 13:27, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Gabriel Franchère
Hi -- thanks for adding the link to Franchère (an article I started) in the Tonquin article. Be sure to check out WikiProject Oregon, since so much of the Canadian fur trade stuff is linked to the history of Oregon. We've got a pretty good collection of articles on Oregon pioneer history (see also the template at the bottom) relating to Canada which can always be improved. Happy editing!

Calgary Co-op
Hello, thank you for your observations on the Calgary Co-op article. I have set up redirects to the corrected page to follow your recommendation. Calvinhrn (talk) 01:15, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

I just left this note at maquette
Off the top of my head (and with help from the Unabridged Oxford Dictionary - the one you need the magnifying glass to read) it appears that they can be the same but are not always the same in that a bozzetto can also refer to a rough sketch used to make a painting where as (opinion} a maquette always refers to sculpture. But I will keep looking. You too? Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 19:43, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * However I now see that maquette is NOT always sculpture (just in my world) so . .... perhaps they are the same. Carptrash (talk) 19:45, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Origins of "kanaka"
The whole of the two sentences from "Until 2009" down to "free man" is complete gibberish. Unfortunately it has been copied to dozens of other pages, and as far as I can see you are the first to notice that there is anything wrong with it. The Hawaiian poster in 2010 was citing _Mamaka Kaiao: A Modern Hawaiian Vocabulary_, published by University of Hawaii Press, 2003. (The first -a- should have a macron over it, if you're up to that.) The author's name on title page is "Komike Hua'olelo" (macrons on the first and second -o-'s), which just means "Word(s) Committee", i.e. it's a corporate/anonymous work, but completely respectable. If those two sentences were deleted, it could only improve the entry, and at worst you might hear from somebody who could explain exactly what happened in 2009, who passed "resolution No.5195", what the Pa'umotu Language Academy (which does exist) has to do with the meaning of this word, and for that matter what Wladimir di Giorgio (who seems to be a theologian) has to do with it.

Disambiguation link notification for June 28
Hi. When you recently edited J. Massey Rhind, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page George Clinton (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Country Wife. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Country Wife~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:10, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
