Thanks to all for everything!
This has been an very interesting experience - thank you, thank you! BTW, according to a wikichart, it appears that some 2,500,000 readers saw the Feb. 14, 2007 Main page with the article intro, and some 100,000 readers clicked through to the article itself.

Triple Crown


Thank you for contributions to the project, Great work on California Gold Rush, and congrats on getting it as a WP:TFA back in February! May you wear the crowns well. Cirt (talk) 20:04, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Britannica
The major objection to using the Britannica is that it is a tertiary source, as we are; it would be better to use the Britannica's sources, in an effort to be as reliable as EB is.

The accessibility issue is minor; we normally don't worry about accessibility if something is published, because someone will be able to check; and most of the Britannica's articles are also in the print edition, widely available. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 21:32, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I would not view it as an absolute prohibition; but it is a weak citation; and certainly should be deprecated. Anything which can be sourced outside EB really ought to be; on the other hand, EB is one step up from the matters of common knowledge which don't require citation at all, even in FA's. See WP:WHEN.

Mount Shasta, California and semi-protect request
Replied on my talk page. -- Spireguy (talk) 21:19, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

California Gold Rush
You're welcome: the current semi-protection is for a month, so we'll see how it goes after that. Acalamari 22:44, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * On a similar note, I noticed you revert vandalism occasionally. Would you like me to grant your account rollback rights? It'll help you revert vandalism more quickly, but just remember it's only for reverting vandalism, and not to revert good-faith edit or for use in revert wars. Acalamari 22:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Rollback granted. :) If you're interested in practice before use in the mainspace, see New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 23:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * You're welcome! Acalamari 23:18, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

California Clipper 500.jpg


An improved version. I hope it could be useful. Marion Touvel--62.35.238.79 (talk) 18:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes I want to submit this article as a featured article in French. For the French version, I need to translate the maps and to explain the French historic context (French Revolution of 1848, French Second Republic, and Second French Empire). For example, there is a French book (500 pages!) only about the Breton people in the California gold rush. --62.35.238.79 (talk) 10:14, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Getting back in the WP CA ballgame - Felipe de Neve
NorCal, please take a look at Felipe de Neve. I want to bring it out of Stub status. --Ronbo76 (talk) 17:10, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Strait of Anian map
I just updated Strait of Anián. In 2006 you released. Do you still have the source? If so: Who was the author or publisher? Does the word Anian appear on it or accompany it? If so the first publication of this name will have to be backdated 20 years. In the upper left corner, what is the word following 'India'? It may be Superior or Septentrionalis or something.
