Solahütte for front page

Please consider nominating your work at T:TDYK for front page exposure. Minor style note: encyclopedic article should not use editorializing words "interestingly" (see WP:EDITORIAL). Also, please add categories to the article. Note I've added a talk page WP:ASSESSMENT template. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 06:03, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Please take a look at the instructions at T:TDYK#How_to_post_a_new_nomination. Let me know if anything in them is unclear, and I'll gladly explain. DYK process, despite this large page, is not complex: you type in the name of your article, fill in few lines, save the page, and add it to the corresponding day section. I strongly prefer to teach people how to fish rather than give them the fish :) PS. Do you need help with categories? I highly recommending enabling WP:HOTCAT gadget, it makes adding categories a breeze. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 19:30, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Backstage at the Smithsonian Libraries

Backstage at the Smithsonian Libraries is part of Wikipedia Loves Libraries 2012, the second annual continent-wide campaign to bring Wikipedia and libraries together with on-site events. Running this fall through October and November, libraries (and archives) will open their doors to help build a lasting relationship with their local Wikipedian community.

Organized by Wikimedia DC, this event will take place on October 12, 2012, and will include new editor training, a "backstage pass" tour of the National Museum of Natural History, and an edit-a-thon. Everyone is welcome to attend!

Is this the Returns Department?

Hi. Uh, a friend gave me this, um... [reaches into wrinkly paper grocery bag] barnstar thing and, well, I don't have a receipt (though I do have this diff) but... do you have a dry one? I was thinking maybe one of these? I don't want to seem picky but I never got a barnstar before and my mom is a little put off by the ploop...oops...in the water imagery.
EEng (talk) 00:10, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
P.S. I didn't want to say on the article's Talk because I don't want any hand grenades thrown, but Purple Heart is grotesquely overdetailed. For example:

On October 10, 1927, Army Chief of Staff General Charles Pelot Summerall directed that a draft bill be sent to Congress "to revive the Badge of Military Merit". The bill was withdrawn and action on the case ceased on January 3, 1928, but the office of the Adjutant General was instructed to file all materials collected for possible future use.

Really! How fascinating!

sorry. the best we can do is 'store credit'. policy you know.
wow! filed! on january third?!? that is SO fascinating. (wink) Cramyourspam (talk) 04:10, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
No, on January 3rd action on the case ceased (but -- and this is important -- the office of the Adjutant General was instructed to file all materials for possible future use). Perhaps I should add the date when all that filing was completed, plus details of the filing system used.[1]
include the time of day too. Cramyourspam (talk) 14:03, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
