Edit summaries
Hi, Senator. I hope you don't mind a friendly request from a colleague that you give edit summaries with your edits. It helps you fellow editors tremendously in tracking changes and rationales for them. Thanks. With regards, -- Tenebrae (talk) 15:14, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Mark Waid
Hi, Steve. Welcome to Wikipedia. One suggestion: Please make sure you either use the Preview function, or check your edits to make sure that they came out correct. If your edits accidentally malform a table or other formatting, as they did with these edits of yours to Mark Waid did with this table, be sure to either revert it, or ask someone else for help. If you have any other questions about editing, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks, and Happy Holidays. :-) Nightscream (talk) 09:04, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Lincoln Memorial/Legacy section
We are currently attempting to bring the Lincoln article to FA status and are trying to establish consensus regarding images. Your consensus and opinion is needed on the Abraham Lincoln talk page. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 01:34, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * 'Steve, thanks for your imput, however we need to gather consensus on images in the Lincoln Memorial stamp section. We are collecting opinions (for or against) a Lincoln image being restored, or returned, to the page. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 06:50, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject Israel
Hi SenatorSteve! I noticed that you re-added yourself as an active contributor to WikiProject Israel. I appreciate your interest and hope that you contribute to the project! Please note however that the list of participants refers only to active participants, and editors who do not actively contribute to the project are moved to the inactive contributors list. This is not meant to offend or understate the efforts of these editors, but to give us a more realistic idea of how many contributors we have at a given moment and who they are. Again, I appreciate your interest and look forward to your contributions to the project. Cheers, Ynhockey (Talk) 19:20, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to MISH!
Thank you for joining the Michigan State Highways Project (WP:MISH/WP:MSHP). We're a small, but mighty, subproject of WP:USRD, the U.S. Roads WikiProject. MISH is in the process of continuing to improve the articles that cover the state and county-designated highways of the Great Lakes State. We use our parent project for basic project standards, assessment and media support. Editors at WP:USRD/MTF, the Maps Task Force, and WP:USRD/STF, the Shields Task Force, create and update maps or highway markers ("shields") for our articles. WP:USRD/ACR is the project A-Class Review process for reviewing and upgrading articles to A-Class status, which is usually one of the last stops before WP:FAC, the Featured Article Candidates.

If you look at WP:USRD/A/S (or the "live" version at WP:USRD/A/L), you'll see all of the various states, territories or subtypes of roads listed in a table with statistics on the article assessments. The last two columns are the two "WikiWork" numbers. The ω figure is the cumulative WikiWork, which is a measure of how many total classes of improvement are needed to reach the theoretical goal of having every article Featured. The Ω is the relative WikiWork, on a scale of 0 (good) to 6 (bad). Michigan is currently leading all other states with a Ω around 2.5 on a 6-point scale. Every one of our articles has been improved to at least a C-Class on the scale, and over half of the project's articles are Good Articles, A-Class or Featured Articles now. (In fact, Brockway Mountain Drive was just promoted as an FA this morning, the third in 2011 alone.)

The next article to be nominated will probably be M-185 (Michigan highway) after we revise it to the current FA standards. We will probably discuss avenues of improvement (yes, pun intended) on Talk:M-185 (Michigan highway) if you're interested in joining in. The goal will be to make an engaging article about a truly unique "highway", and then nominate it for promotion later this summer.  Imzadi 1979  →   15:39, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Suggestion for WikiProject United States to support WikiProject US Presidents
Greetings, It was recently suggested that WikiProject US Presidents 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) 13:22, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject Aircraft
Thanks for signing up for this project. It is a very busy and active project with lots going on and we can always use more help and especially a fresh set of eyes. If you haven't done so already you might want to add Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft to your watch list as this is where much of the background discussion occurs. You may also want to watch New articles (Aircraft) as this is where newly created articles get listed for peer review. Having a look over these new articles is a great way to get a feel for how things are done on the project and also most new articles need reviewing anyway. If you have any questions you can leave me a note or post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft, either way you will get a quick response. - Ahunt (talk) 15:09, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Invite to the African Destubathon
Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:12, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:33, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia
Hi, WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
