Feltus Mound Site
I started Feltus Mound Site after noticing your addition to the Coles Creek culture article. Weird coincidence, I was just talking to someone about this site last night.  He  iro  19:50, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Even more serendipitous is that I was unaware it existed until today! I'm doing research for my thesis and was checking out other undergrad paleobotany work. --Westpast (talk) 20:09, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I was unaware of it until last night. I was out seeing some friends of mine play at a little bar/dancehall down the street, and met a group of young archaeologists in town for a conference, one of them being Meg Kassabaum who I believe led the filed school at Feltus last summer. Small world we live in, lol.  He  iro  20:19, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Latin America/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 Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina 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 Latin American 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. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, 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 Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:57, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
