40-year old Fargo business page question[edit]

Hi MathewUND, I found you in the ND project page. I'm a new "registered" user of Wikipedia and am wanting to learn more about the possibility of creating a page for the company I work for, Swanson Health Products. It's a very large international distributor of natural health supplements that was founded in Fargo, ND, and is still family owned. We represent over 17 nations with our large and growing staff. We're one of the best employers in the state and have a significant economic impact. I posed the question on my user page and was given a very nice response by another user saying it would probably be best not to write this on my own. I have read all the guidelines and know he is probably correct. I'm wondering if somebody else would have better luck at writing an article about Swanson, or if it's a lost cause altogether. Any tips? Advice? Point me in the direction of another editor/author? Thank you very much for any help you could give me, and I apologize if this is not the correct forum to ask my question.

You can email me at rjohnson@gfherald.com

Hope to hear back from you, and thanks in advance!

Shields, North Dakota[edit]

Could you take a look at Shields, North Dakota. It's been expanded heavily using WP:OR and does not comply with WP:NPOV, particularly the commentary on population. It's been edited by an 96.3.137.168 IP editor and User:Global.Geo.Historic.Data, whom I suspect are the same person or persons. Global.Geo apparently is a "group account," which violates WP policy (per that users talk page). They were questioned in their editing of Bismarck, North Dakota and reprimanded for origional reseach and edit warring. If Global.Geo has stopped editing and switched to this IP as a resuylt, he or she may be trying to subvert these past warnings. The edit pattern is similar, and I've posted a comment on the IP's talk page.

I think the information this person could provide could be beneficial, but I don't want to see articles on North Dakota expanded poorly just for expansions sake. Could you advise on what options there may be?DCmacnut<> 13:41, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of Grand Forks school info[edit]

Matthew,

I edited the page to include all the Elementary and Middle Schools due to the High Schools and some of the Elementary and Middle Schools being previously listed and in part due to my personal appreciation of several other town pages that have listed their schools, it makes it easy to research education when relocating to a new town. I was a little confused though when I came back and saw that you had edited it to list only the High Schools. My question to you I guess is this, what makes it ok to post some but not all of the schools in the district? What makes the High Schools more important than the lower schools? Personally, I would rather see all the schools listed but I can understand that listing each school individually may not appeal to some people so I wouldn't have a problem with your edit had it played out evenly across the board. In a situation like this, proper etiquette dictates an "all or nothing" approach. What's good for the goose is good for the gander!

Sincerely,

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity[edit]

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Non-free rationale for File:WickedBookCover.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:WickedBookCover.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Notice of change[edit]

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2013 February newsletter[edit]

Round 1 is now over. The top 64 scorers have progressed to round 2, where they have been randomly split into eight pools of eight. At the end of April, the top two from each pool, as well as the 16 highest scorers from those remaining, will progress to round 3. Commiserations to those eliminated; if you're interested in still being involved in the WikiCup, able and willing reviewers will always be needed, and if you're interested in getting involved with other collaborative projects, take a look at the WikiWomen's Month discussed below.

Round 1 saw 21 competitors with over 100 points, which is fantastic; that suggests that this year's competition is going to be highly competative. Our lower scores indicate this, too: A score of 19 was required to reach round 2, which was significantly higher than the 11 points required in 2012 and 8 points required in 2011. The score needed to reach round 3 will be higher, and may depend on pool groupings. In 2011, 41 points secured a round 3 place, while in 2012, 65 was needed. Our top three scorers in round 1 were:

  1. Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), primarily for an array of warship GAs.
  2. London Miyagawa (submissions), primarily for an array of did you knows and good articles, some of which were awarded bonus points.
  3. New South Wales Casliber (submissions), due in no small part to Canis Minor, a featured article awarded a total of 340 points. A joint submission with Alaska Keilana (submissions), this is the highest scoring single article yet submitted in this year's competition.

Other contributors of note include:

Featured topics have still played no part in this year's competition, but once again, a curious contribution has been offered by British Empire The C of E (submissions): did you know that there is a Shit Brook in Shropshire? With April Fools' Day during the next round, there will probably be a good chance of more unusual articles...

March sees the WikiWomen's History Month, a series of collaborative efforts to aid the women's history WikiProject to coincide with Women's History Month and International Women's Day. A number of WikiCup participants have already started to take part. The project has a to-do list of articles needing work on the topic of women's history. Those interested in helping out with the project can find articles in need of attention there, or, alternatively, add articles to the list. Those interested in collaborating on articles on women's history are also welcome to use the WikiCup talk page to find others willing to lend a helping hand. Another collaboration currently running is an an effort from WikiCup participants to coordinate a number of Easter-themed did you know articles. Contributions are welcome!

A few final administrative issues. From now on, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity[edit]

Information icon Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Question about Steven K Sydness[edit]

I don't know much about Wikipedia but see that you have a history here and made some changes on the article about Steven K Sydness. A recent change indicates that Mr. Sydness died in April of this year. Did you make that change? If not, who did? Where does that detail come from? Do you have any independent verification of the death? Thank you.

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.

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.

Proposed deletion of Ernest Viggo Almquist[edit]

The article Ernest Viggo Almquist has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The artist doesn't seem to meet the specific criteria for creative people and the general criteria for biographies in general under WP:BIO.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Dolotta (talk) 19:19, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

FYI -- I noticed on the article's talk page that you helped user:Loon19 with the article. Loon has been notified as well. Dolotta (talk) 19:43, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Trinity Homes[edit]

Hello MatthewUND,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Trinity Homes for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Amidon[edit]

Hello,

Could you please take a look at Amidon, North Dakota?

In 2013/2014, a new bar was built.

In 2018, it was reported that Georgia's and The Owl, the only family restaurant in town, had likely closed. It was also reported that the Post Office had closed.

Are these two (unsourced) paragraphs really encyclopedic? Please tell me what you think when you have the time.
