WikiProject North Dakota
Hey Rick, I'm happy to see you found and decided to join WikiProject North Dakota. You should add your name to the "Participants" section of the main WikiProject page so others can know you've joined up. Once again, welcome to the project. --Matth e w UND (talk) 04:36, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:00, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk page
Rick, just so you know, removing messages that others have left on your talk page is considered to be a very bad practice and is frowned upon by the Wikipedia community. It looks like you're trying to hide something from other users. It is best to leave intact all messages that are left on your talk page. --Matth e w UND (talk) 22:41, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh. Thanks Matt. I didn't know that.

WPND AFD Alert: Hawktree Golf Club
Hawktree Golf Club is up at AFD. Please vote to keep this North Dakota related article. -- AlexWCovington  (talk) 02:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your help! I wish our problems at AfD were over but it looks like someone thinks Grand Cities Mall needs the axe.  Your help would be appreciated! -- AlexWCovington  (talk) 15:11, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Your input would still be appreciated at the Grand Cities Mall AfD, it's being attacked by people that think Grand Forks is in South Dakota. -- AlexWCovington  (talk) 19:53, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

WDAZ Affiliation
Hi Rick, there's been a post on Talk:KVLY-TV asking about when they really switched affiliations with WDAY/WDAZ. Could you provide some insight? -- AlexWCovington  (talk) 05:20, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

MatthewUND's RfA
I just self-nominated myself for administrator's status on Wikipedia. As an active member of WikiProject North Dakota, I feel that having admin status would allow me the ability to be more useful to the project and to curtail vandalism and other problems. An admin is able to protect pages that are being bombarded with vandalism and to more quickly revert pages that have been vandalized. I've always hoped that we could get an admin to join the WikiProject so we would have someone to turn to in times of need. Since we still don't have an active admin within the project's membership, I decided to nominate myself. I really hope you will visit my request for adminship and support me. Thanks! --Matth e w UND (talk) 10:47, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Just a silly message...

 * It's right here. I just find it hilarious that they used Web sites used as "references" in the report were parodies on "emo". Don't be offened by it, it's just a silly news report that made national exposure through our friend YouTube, clinging to the "conservative" stereotype of North Dakota. --milk the cows (Talk) 06:11, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
