Thanks, sometimes I forget about those things. Johann Wolfgang [ T ...C ]   03:32, 14 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I thought you would probaly want to see this. I think we should try for WikiNumismatics. You can make proposals here].

Johann Wolfgang [ T ...C ]   03:42, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Note
I think WikiCurrency should include something about Numismatics. But WikiCoins would be suitable. I don't know of anything else on proposals. About my signature, you can edit your's by clicking the Preferences button at the top of your screen. Funny you should ask now, I was just working on it, (it's a huge mess now, CSS is not easy to figure out). Johann Wolfgang [ T ...C ]  19:50, 14 October 2005 (UTC) P.S. My signature is typed in like this: Johann Wolfgang [ T ...C  ]   insert date here

Okay
Don't worry I'll fix the typos, and nice introduction too.

Question
I was wondering why you remove all the messages on your talk page. You should archive them instead. Some people don't like it. I don't really care what others do with their talk pages, but some people do. Just thought you would benefit from this. Happy editing!

I looked up your edit count today, and couldn't believe how many edits you've made. You had around 150 last week, now you have 500. Keep up the good work. Johann Wolfgang [ <small style="color:green;">T ...<small style="color:orange;">C ] <font color="307D7E"> 18:53, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Well there are 780,000 articles on the English Wikipedia. If you go here, and click on 'What links here' you can see all the pages that have that template.


 * If you need any help with references, values, dimensions, et cetera, feel free to ask.

Template
I recently created a new template for the WikiProject. It is meant for images. You can put it on the talk pages of coin images. It looks like this:

Johann Wolfgang's RfA
Thanks a ton for your support on my RfA.If my RfA passes I will use my new abilities with the common interest in mind. We haven't talked in awhile, I see you've been busy, but as soon as I'm done with my RfA I'll be getting back to working on the Wikiproject Numismatics.

Unnecessary deletion of United States commemorative coins category
Hi, I invite you to vote against the unnecessary deletion of the United States commemorative coins category


 * I'd like to thank you for voting in this matter! --Kurt 10:08, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks
Thank you for the congratulations, remember, if you need me to do any admin-like tasks feel free to ask. Happy editing! Johann Wolfgang [ T ... C ] 23:40, 14 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I was just looking at your edit count and I thought I'd congratulate on your 1000th edit.

Note
Yes, I should be getting around to doing those soon. Anyways happy editing! Johann Wolfgang 00:10, 16 November 2005 (UTC)


 * About the to do list, it is updated, but the old revision is stuck in your browser history, since it has the same name and metadata it will load the old page. When you save it you see the updated page, when you go to the front page, which you didn't update, it shows the old revision. Hope this explains it, (all browsers do this by the way).

I've responded to your message on my talk page. --TantalumTelluride 23:38, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

I've responded to the message you posted on my talk page at 23:45, 16 November 2005 (UTC). --TantalumTelluride 00:04, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

The article looks good so far. I'll try to help you out next week. --TantalumTelluride 04:09, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Deletion
You don't have to delete it, you can make a redirect if it has an article that is closely related. If you want I can take care of it. Johann Wolfgang 03:00, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
 * You type in #REDIRECT Page name redirecting too


 * I see you figured out how to redirect. Happy editing!

Re:Songs
I got your message. The thing is though that I can only take your top ten, so your going to have to drop three, unless you want me to drop them. Oh and just to let you know, I'm probably not going to add them to the list until tomorrow. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for the welcome, helpful links, and advice. Btw, via which article history did you find me? A Stargate one, or one of my more random ones? MeekSaffron 23:16, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

A day ago? You plan Wikipedia things to do the next day? I guess not surprising for your volume of editing. :) MeekSaffron 23:27, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Is there something that isn't immediately apperent to me? If there is something in particular please tell me. Johann Wolfgang 02:41, 8 December 2005 (UTC)


 * hmmm, I'll tell them to take it somewhere else, maybe to uncyclopedia. :)


 * Looks like I have something fun to do to wrap up my evening. They don't get the idea. ;)

Thanks for the award. I never dreamed I'd find so much time, but I'm completely obsessed with wikipedia! It's just so much fun. Mom2jandk 03:41, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

WikiProject Numismatics
Dear WikiProject Numismatics member:

You may have noticed the edits made by user:mom2jandk, and you may have also noticed that I have reverted most of them. I would like to leave this note as an explanation.

mom2jandk is a new user and a clearly enthusiastic member of WikiProject:Numismatics. However, he/she has made several changes (specifically to the categorization scheme) that I reverted for various reasons. Among them, he/she:


 * Moved most of the articles in Category:United States Mint to Category:United States mints. This seems to serve no purpose; the United States Mint is the proper name of a government agency (that you are all no doubt familiar with) and its category was created as a home for articles relating to it.


 * Created Category:United States currency designers. At the moment there does not seem to be anyone in this category who does not already fit into Category:United States Mint engravers, therefore making it a redundant category.


 * Created Category:United States Mint officers. This is problematic for several reasons. Firstly, while any number of persons employed by the Mint might be correctly referred to as "officers," I've never seen the term used. Secondly, virtually all of the articles in the category would fit under Category:United States Mint engravers or Category:Directors of the United States Mint. Thirdly, even if there are articles about persons who were neither engravers or directors, there would likely not be enough to warrant a subcategory, and therefore such an article should be placed in Category:United States Mint.


 * Created several other categories that either do not fit or fit awkwardly into the categorization scheme.


 * Nominated several categories for deletion, including United States Mint, United States Mint engravers, and others.
 * On the deletion vote for Cat:United States Mint, he seems to be confused as to the purpose of the category; it is, as I said, for articles relating to the government agency known as the United States Mint. There are mints in the United States that are not part of the United States Mint (i.e. the Franklin Mint) and his confusion over this fact seems to be the impetus for the nomination.
 * You might also notice that he nominated cat:Directors of the United States Mint; his explanation is that he broadened the category to "United States Mint officers" so that a Superintendent could be included. The "superintendent of the Mint" to which he referred was Roswell K. Colcord, who was superintendent of the Carson City Mint; there is no such office as "superintendent" for the entire United States Mint (or, if there is, it is distinct from Director of the Mint.)

After reading this fairly lengthy message, you might get the impression that I am attacking either mom2jandk or his/her edits; this is not the case. I have a great deal of admiration for him/her as a new user who is not afraid to jump in and try to improve Wikipedia and the Numismatics project. I hope he/she continues to contribute, and I believe he/she has a great deal to offer. This message is quite long because I wanted to explain the specifics of the categories (many of which, incidentally, were created by me.)

Note that I placed merge tags on most of mom2jandk's categories.

It goes without saying that, if there are any categories that should be altered and/or deleted, by all means make such changes, regardless of whether I or anyone else created them; neither I nor my edits are perfect.

Apologies for using he/she; I assume mom2jandk's user name reflects her role as a mother but I wasn't completely certain.

Thank you all and I look forward to continued work with you in the future. Paul 06:04, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello
I thought I'd share my 5000th edit with you. :). Merry Christmas! Johann Wolfgang 05:38, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

HMLA-267
Joe, always good to have a helping hand. As I look at the # of pages that need to be created I have to admit the thought of doing it alone was a bit daunting. For the most part I have been taking from the official websites or globalsecurity{they just cut and paste from official sites]. Just make sure that you severly edit the history. Usually I remove all of the POV fluff and the unnecessary stuff about individual exercises they did over the years. I try to keep them to combat and big humanitarian missions, etc.... THe home page for 267 is  and the history can be found at. A great page for the insignia is and great photos can be obtained by searching through the official USMC archive. Hope this helps. Yut, Murph--Looper5920 21:42, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Good pick up on the USMC insignias. That website is a gold mine. Now comes the hard part of actually updating all of the Marines Corps info on this site.--Looper5920 02:10, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Welcoming
I've responded to your message on my talk page. --TantalumT e lluride 22:31, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I've responded again. --TantalumT e lluride 23:02, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I was trying to keep this conversation in one place (on my talk page), but I'm now giving up. I've noticed a couple of ither things wrong with your welcome template. You should probably move it to User:Searchme/Welcome; the curly brackets, i.e., will still substitute the text of the page. Then, use db to request that the original template be speedily deleted. Also, the Wikipedia logo, contrary to popular belief, is a copyrighted image and therefore should be used with discretion in the user and user talk namespaces. There is no enforced rule against using it in a welcome template, but doing so might come back to haunt you if you ever decide to request adminship or any other priveleges. If you need any help, just come by my talk page. --TantalumT e lluride 23:35, 6 January 2006 (UTC)


 * On second thought, deletion probably won't be necessary. Just redirect the old page name to the new one. --TantalumT e lluride 23:38, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about all the confusion. I should have looked at your welcome template more closely the first time. Anyway, a good image might be m:Image:Be bold.png, which is licensed under the GFDL. --TantalumT e lluride 03:00, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thank you for welcoming me to Wikipedia. I've been spending my time reading up on how to do things here. Your links helped me learn a lot about formatting. --Timize 16:15, 8 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I would also like to show my gratitude for your welcome message. The basic tutorial gave me what I needed to get editing, but some of the links in your tutorial have proved very useful in honing my skills. Many thanks. Oh and before I forget, I was trying to keep these "thank-you" topics together, but there were so many I just posted on the bottom one. Maybe a helpful user could shuffle all the "thank-you" posts under one heading for him? -- Faded_Mantis 04:42, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Apreciate the welcome a few weeks back, sorry for the late reply as I've been busy trying to help out with what little free time I have but ran into a few copyright problems that I wasn't aware of. Should be fixed with no problems and I'll be sure to avoid these issues in the future.

Take care.

 * Hi I was wandering if you could input your opinion about on this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Turkish_people#The_picture its all about the picture used to show Turkish people. Turkish users object to one of the people in the picture. But someother users seem to be enforcing this person to be in the picture. I have suggested just replacing him with someone who the Turks respect (mainly a woman as there are no women in this picture). DivineIntervention 02:39, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, how do I make my first Bold Change to an Existing Article?
The original author(s) indicate that someone is dead and a lawsuit was lost, I contend that he is alive and the lawsuit was won. So I first put my revisions in the talk page to see if it generates any discussion, before moving them to the real page. If you see any problems with my etiquette, perhaps you could let me know.

Image copyright
Hello. I have an image of the British composer Ernest Farrar that I would be quite like to upload onto the page, and I was just wondering what the position of copyright is. He was killed in action in World War 1, so presumably the image is now in the 'public domain'. However, I thought I ought to clarify whether this is the case before uploading it, as I don't want to create a problem. What would you recommend? Thank you for your welcome, by the way.

Wow, have I started something?
Appreciate your interest and questions Joe. Ex uno disce omnes - given that I am referring to a plural of users is = From the following persons learn all persons or perhaps From these users can we judge the rest, I am of course prompting myself that your edits and that of the others are inclusionary, supportive, socratic (in terms of teaching) and worth spending a good deal of time on.

Vanity
Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Jason Ward-recording engineer/producer may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. - Mys  e  kurity 01:10, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello Joe, since you want to delete the Fiji coinaage page, I'd better write some info then.

Thanks for the comment
Thanks for the comment on my signature. Square brackets are used around chemical formulas as a convenient way to indicate concentration in units of mol per litre. My signature, on the other hand, doesn't really need them anymore because some of the smart folks over at Esperanza figured out how to avoid confusion with the green e. Now, I've linked my green e to User:TantalumTelluride/Esperanza, which explains what the green e means and has links to both Esperanza and a number of my various user-space pages. I still changed the color of my signature to orange and blue. How do you like it? -- Tantalum T  e  lluride  06:36, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Joe, as you asked I tried to move {commonscat|Coins} commonscat. I now moved it to the middle, which might help. I used the div command. Using tables would be an option too but that is more overhead of code. HenkvD 19:57, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Commemorative coins of the USSR
Hello! Thanks for your comment. Well, there are some pics of those coins in Wikipedia's Wikicommons: (see "Anniversary coins" section there), although I think, most of the scans there are too dark.

Pictures of almost all coins (maybe except silver ones) are available through "external links" section of the article created by me. If you have difficulties navigating Russian language websites, here are direct links to gold coins' pics, here - to platinum coins' pics, here - to palladium coins' pics and here - to copper-nickel coins' pics. I don't know, which is their copyright status, but perhaps a couple of them could be uploaded at least under "fair use".

Personally, I have 12 copper-nickel coins: 1 ruble - Olympiad in Moscow Emblem (1977), 20th anniv. of Victory (1965), 30th anniv. of Victory (1975), 100th anniv. of Lenin (1970), 50 years of Soviet power (1965), Festival in Moscow (1985), Maxim Gorky (1988), Taras Shevchenko (1989), Gagarin (1981); 5 rubles - Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kiev (1988), 1000 years of Russia monument (1988), Monument to Peter the Great (1988). You can see, that first 5 of them already exist in "commons". When I have time, I'll scan the remaining 7 and probably do lighter scans of 5 existing ones.

I also have a great many of Soviet regular coins and some banknotes. Cmapm 23:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Request for edit summary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 36% for major edits and 99% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 00:00, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for voting
I'd just like to take a moment to thank you, Searchme for voting in my request for adminship regardless if you voted for or against me. Seeing some very valid concerns, I've pulled the RfA until some of the concerns can be addressed. Thanks for your comments, I'll use them to help better myself -- Tawker 02:16, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your support in my request for adminship. I'm delighted that the RfA succeeded with a final consensus of 52/17/7, and receiving comments including having 'excellent potential to become a great moderator', and I am now an administrator. It did however only just pass, and I shall do my very best to rectify any of my errors, including the general belief that I should do more article work. If you have any concerns, or if you ever feel that I may be able to help you, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Again, thank you! Ian13/talk 19:55, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

tagging articles
I noticed that you've started tagging some articles. I got some time tonight, and updated my bot to tag articles. I'm testing it right now, so I'll be able to tag the articles easily soon (I'm going to take it slow with the bot until I'm sure it's working well and no one minds). So you don't need to spend your time on it (but thanks for all the work you've done so far). 24.206.178.76 03:30, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Numismatics Barnstar
New barnstar proposals have to be approved through Barnstar and award proposals before they're accepted as official awards. Ironically, my past experience with the barnstar project hasn't left a good impression on me as far as civility and cooperation are concerned. They would probably dismiss a numismatics barnstar as too specific, although there really is no other barnstar that seems appropriate for the topic. I suppose we could propose a barnstar, and if it isn't approved, then we could sanction it through the Numismatics WikiProject or make it a personal user award. (I have a feeling that barnstar instruction creep is going to be the source of the next major conflict in the community. Remember what happened when people started applying too many rules to userboxes?) -- Tantalum T  e  lluride  00:49, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Double Eagle
Joe-

That move was a while ago, but as I remember, I moved it because there is no such thing as a Double Eagle (that I know of) in any other context than a U.S. coin, therefore it did not need to be disambiguated with (U.S. coin) in the title. If it is widely agreed that the previous title was better, then by all means move it back; however, I was going for maximum simplicity. Regards, Paul 16:50, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Bot
It's working great for tagging articles in the simple case, and I think I got all articles that needed Numismaticnotice. I have to update it a bit to consider if the article already has Numismaticnotice and needs Exonumianotice. I also need to consider the categorization and maybe update it a bit so that orders and decorations are separate from awards (like movie awards). That in itself is not my idea of fun, and real life has gotten in the way recently, but I plan to get back to it soon. Thanks for the barnstar. Ingrid 23:50, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Please do not allow commercial link spamming
Commercial links added to Wikipedia articles should be viewed with extreme skepticism. In 99.9% of cases the links should be deleted. Unless the links provide an authoritative and trusted reference on the subject and consist of original content (without unreasonable amounts of advertising), they should be removed. Links to blogs or discussion forums are almost never appropriate.

If you're wondering why I'm contacting you about this, please refer to this article: http://www.petertdavis.net/176-wikipedia-and-link-spammers-a-how-to-guide/

A thank you and a question
Joe - Thanks for your welcome note. I am still learning my way around Wikipedia and have a question. An edit (one which I appreciate) was made to a page I like. The history section shows an IP address but no name. I am not sure how to find out who this person was or why the change was made. Can you point me at the appropriate resource place on Wikipedia? Thanks! Kris


 * Kris, if it just shows an IP, then the person does not have an account with wikipedia, or was not signed on.  You can leave a message on their talk page, as is more than likely the same person will use the same IP time after time.  You can check this page, hopefully it'll have more for ya.  If you still need help, gimme the link of the diff page that has the IP users edit, and I'll see what can be done.  <font color="#0047AB">Joe I  00:33, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Question about e-mail
Joe - How do I e-mail an author who is registered on the site, or is that possible? I posted my question on his talk page, but I was the first person there and don't know if s/he checks that page. Is there a way for me to send my comment directly? Kris


 * Sure, at the upper portion of pages on the left side, find the frame right under the search bar and above the interwiki language thingies. If their preferences setting to allow e-mail is on, then there will be a "E-mail this user" link. :)  <font color="#0047AB">Joe I  17:50, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Numismatics
Howdy, I slightly lightened the text-colour in the portal box-headers. It's still quite hard to read though, I'd suggest changing it further (I don't know what to). Yellow is a very difficult colour for text to appear in. Those "edit" links look basically like splotches to me. Thanks :) --Quiddity 21:37, 1 May 2006 (UTC)


 * hey, yeah, I had tried a few greens, and other silvers and golds, but those were the best I could find. I was using them for the "silver" and "gold" reason, being what most coins are made of.  But if you can think of something that would work better, lemme know.  :)  <font color="#0047AB">Joe I  20:39, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Interiot has a code that you can use to keep those smileys at the bottom of your talk page. See User:Interiot/talk bottom. (You'll have to click the edit tab to see it.) Follow the instructions between the  tags on that page. That way, your footer will stay at the bottom of the page even if someone uses the  thingy.

Featured coin pictures
Hey, that'd be cool if you listed Image:Demand Note$.jpg for a featured picture. I don't know if it would be "accepted" by the Wikipedia community at large, however. Oh, I also wanted to say thanks for the positive support for the original image. It really meant a lot to me, especially since I nearly had to go to war with that one user.

As far as FOUREFFIGIES.jpg is concerned, the only thing I can think of is if it is significantly artistically changed/rearranged, would that change its copyright status?

I notice you've done some maintenance/updating over at WP:Texas, which I've just discovered. I'm interested in maintaining it regularly (that is, at least take a *look* at it every day, but update it once a week or so with new news, "did you know"s, pictures, etc) if I can get someone else to go along too. Not sure how you popularize Portals, but it'd be nice to make it a really good resource that people know about..? I also recently started WikiProject Dallas though right now it's basically just a copy of WikiProject Texas before I get some time to do some heavy-duty work.
