Wikiproject Montana
You need to move the wikiproject Montana out of userspace and wikispace under the title of WikiProject Montana. Once that is accomplished, I'll probably join.--MONGO 06:49, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I think you misunderstood me. I just saw you adding lots of talk page banners to a wikiproject which is still what is referred to as "userfied"...still in a subpage of your own userspace. If you want me to move it, I can for you.--MONGO 07:16, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I did the move to wikispace for you. Sorry, I thought you had started the project in your userspace, but I see it was someone else...anyway, keep up the good work.--MONGO 08:22, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi again...you're keeping busy for sure. I added the Montana WikiProject to the list of projects page here. I started the WikiProject glaciers and have done all the assessments on glacier articles. At some point in the future, assessments of Montana related articles might be a good idea, but there is definitely no hurry. I can set the pages up for that if you wish, then all we will have to do is rate each Montana related article as to whether it is a stub-->featured article.--MONGO 18:35, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for the info LTV! See you around. Feel free to delete this after reading it.

Amtrak accessibility
Hi! Those edits you mentioned were based on data from the Amtrak routes/timetable book -- specifically summer '07. The book can be picked up at most stations.

The book actually has two different types of "accessibility": One is if the entire station/facilities are accessible, the other is if access to only the train/platform is accessible. When I made those edits, I included the latter category... that may be what is causing the confusion. Hope that helps! --Shadowlink1014 06:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Lewis and Clark Expedition
I noticed you reverted Lewis and Clark Expedition to a version which was worse than before. Perhaps you're just getting used to twinkle or popups? Regards, —EncMstr 18:47, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Montana State University Northern.svg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Montana State University Northern.svg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Libby
Yes, the Libby, Montana article needs to be overhauled. Needs a nice history section. A short economy section. The IP address, says Apple, but this person's mother must work for the Chamber of Commerce or their dad must be the mayor or something. Or, they own 5% of W.R. Grace. I don't know which. Carry on. WikiDon 23:01, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Missoula City logo.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Missoula City logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 17:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Image:Missoula City logo.png added to the article cited in fair use rationale and is no longer orphaned. Template:Di-orphaned fair use removed from image page. I think that makes it in compliance now. -- Ltvine | Talk 18:21, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Re Belgrade Mint Bar Image
No qualms. Just returned from several weeks up there fishing and that was the only pic I took representing Belgrade other than houses. Your points are well taken. Thanks.--Mike Cline 22:07, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

National Historic Landmarks in Montana
Hi -- I liked how you developed the article on Chief Plenty Coups (Alek-Chea-Ahoosh) State Park and Home, using the NHL Nomination text that you found. It's the first article in a long time that I have come across that had used that source, while such is available for most NHL sites. FYI, I added more to the article, including a link to the photo set that accompanied the NHL nomination, which you had not found. I have been adding similar texts and photo set links to other articles covered in List of National Historic Landmarks in Montana, but I have not been doing the kind of article editing that you did so well in this article. Feel free to develop those other articles more, if you are interested in Montana sites; most of them need it. FYI, I have some notes on finding NHL documents and other resources for NHL sites, generally, at [User:Doncram/Recipe]. Any which way, keep up the good work! doncram 07:56, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:First Interstate.svg
Thanks for uploading Image:First Interstate.svg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:36, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Blackfoot Indians
The roles of the Blackfoot Indians that i included in my article were meant for past tense use. My sources are quite good. I do apologize for not puting a link or some sort of referance I'm new to the sight so if you have patience with me I will get the hang of it. Thankyou for your comments.

Colstrip Page
I reverted your edits to Colstrip Montana. I grew up in Colstrip and put the external links there for a reason - it is difficult to find good information online for Colstrip. In general your edits across Montana web pages are probably a service because they were not maintained, but this one is being maintained. P.Primo

Update from 15 FEB 08

I reverted your image edits. The text describing Castle Rock Lake goes with the picture. There is nothring wrong with the larger picture of the lake at the bottom of the wiki page, other locations have done similar - see the page for Stanford University... The image of the Colstrip sign belongs at the front (start) of the page - this is the City of Colstrip's sign. Also the links for the Gazeteer and U.S. census that you have added are not specific to Colstrip when you follow them, so I have removed them. You may want to check this for the other Montana towns you have edited, the link is most likely not specific to those towns either... —Preceding unsigned comment added by P.primo (talk • contribs) 03:35, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Skinner Building
I see you knocked off the Ned Skinner reference on the 5th Avenue theatre and have edited the Skinner article itself. The historylink.org on the Skinner article has the reference to his ownership. I agree the wording sort of stretches credibility given the age of the building and Skinner's birth in 1920. A way to work around it would be something to the effect "named for the Skinner ship building family which included Ned Skinner who was an active patron of the theatre."

Basin
Hi LtVine, Basin, Montana made GA this morning. I want to thank you again for your help. The addition of the early peoples' history was significant, and it is leading me to rethink my work on some other pages such as Laramie, Wyoming. Finetooth (talk) 17:56, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

5th Avenue Theatre featured article?
So I posted some copy edit comments on Talk:5th_Avenue_Theatre that I wanted to get your thoughts on. After that, I'm curious on your thoughts of submitting it for review as a featured article. I reviewed the criteria, and I think the article meets them pretty well. If I make the submission though, I would want to do it when we're both available to respond to feedback given in a timely manner. Let me know what you think.--Skotywa (talk) 21:53, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


 * It looks as if you've gone into hibernation WRT Wikipedia lately. Hopefully you're still checking your messages.  I've made a number of improvements to 5th Avenue Theatre and am once again thinking about submitting it for featured article.  I've detailed my thoughts on Talk:5th_Avenue_Theatre and would love to get your feedback.--Skotywa (talk) 23:37, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Reed and Stem
I noticed you created Reed and Stem and mentioned that they built Wulling Hall at the University of Minnesota. I did a little more checking, and it looks like they've built some other buildings that are on the National Register of Historic Places besides the ones you mentioned in your article:
 * Livingston Depot in Livingston, Montana -- I think this is a contributing property to the Livingston, Montana Commercial District, though we don't have an article on that
 * Fort Yellowstone
 * Morris Park Station in The Bronx; I'm not sure if this is part of Morris Park (IRT Dyre Avenue Line) or not
 * Northern Pacific Railway depots in Bismarck, North Dakota and Ellensburg, Washington

It also looks like here in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, they built several houses and other buildings that are contributing properties to Lowertown. They also built the Saint Paul Hotel which is pretty ritzy, but not listed on the National Register.

I just thought I'd mention these additional buildings in case you were interested. Happy editing! --Elkman (Elkspeak) 05:52, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Yup, created Reed and Stem. From what I've read they designed more than 100 railway buildings.  The list of buildings could become extensive.  Not having an article for them has been an annoyance for a long time--and became overwhelming recently when I noticed someone made the assertion in an article that a historic plaque at King Street Station in Seattle had miss-spelled the name Reed and "Stern" as Reed and Stem. --Ltvine | Talk 06:18, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group
Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page. Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 02:14, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Missoula
Missoula is the county seat of Missoula County, not Superior, as listed at the bottom of the Wye, Montana, page. The state highway map is an accurate source for county seats of the Treasure State's 56 counties. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.127.114.131 (talk) 19:00, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors wanted in Bozeman, Montana
Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a member of WikiProject Montana. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Montana State University - Bozeman, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

I know Montana is a big state, but if you happen to live near Bozeman and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from Bozeman who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 21:37, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion for WikiProject United States to support WikiProject Montana
It was recently suggested that WikiProject Montana might be inactive or semiactive and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States. I have started a discussion on the projects talk page soliciting the opinions of the members of the project if this project would be interested in being supported by WikiProject United States. Please feel free to comment on your opinions about this suggestion. --Kumioko (talk) 01:50, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

categories
Hello, I have commented out categories in an article in your sandbox. I think you should not use public categories in private articles, so I hope that you understand that I have decided to edit your private article, which I would otherwise off course not touch.
