Translation of 95 year old philosophy. edit
Greetings,
I am trying to get a team together who would finally translate "Sistema di logica come teoria del conoscere" into English. I thought Wikipedia's list of Italian-to-English translators might be a good group to 'hit up' on this subject. If personal assistance cannot be provided, perhaps suggestions or helping point me in the right direction of who might be willing to help? Best regards & thank you.

American Innovation $1 Coin Program Design - Obverse edit
I don't think we need a separate article for the proposed obverse designs. - ZLEA T\C 10:44, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
- I wasn't sure how to incorporate the proposed designs into the existing page. I agree it'd be easier though. If you have an idea of how to do it, let me know and as I finish uploading the designs I can move them over. The first 4 states have designs already, we just don't have a winner or a final version left. Iceman0426 (talk) 15:12, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
- The problem with a table of proposed designs is that from 2018 to 2032, it's likely that over 500 designs will be proposed. Another problem is that there might be copyright problems with using rejected designs, as unlike the selected design, they are not works of the government and there are no plans to use them on coinage in the future. For now I think we should mention that there were 12 proposed designs, and compare the chosen drawing to the coin it evolved into. - ZLEA T\C 18:30, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
- The CCAC is a government entity under the Secretary of the Treasury, so there are no copyright issues. The volume of potential images is the reason that I made the separate page for the 2018 designs. We could make collapsible sections in the main article which would take up a lot of space. I think the easiest would be to have the designs on a separate page.Iceman0426 (talk) 19:44, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
- Once again, I'm not sure a table of proposals is the right way to go. A gallery of the obverse design proposals in a section of the article about the design process is probably a good idea. As for the reverse designs, I still think that only the chosen design should be listed as the others probably are not notable and would be of little interest to most people. An exception to this would be any design that brings controversy or other public attention. - ZLEA T\C 20:25, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
- They designs are already public and available for anyone to see. For example, the designs for the Native American $1 Coins through 2022, and the American Eagle Platinum Proofs through 2025 are online through the US Mint and CCAC (and also next year's Connecticut Quarter). There are no controversy/public attention issues, because these images are already public. It doesn't matter that it is "of little interest to most people". The $1 coin (in general) is of little interest to "most" people, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't document it. If you want to want to make new tables in the current page, that's fine, I'll help move everything over. Otherwise I'll continue to build the 2018 and 2019 pages.Iceman0426 (talk) 00:12, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
- You make some great points. However, I thought of an alternative to having a child article of the American Innovation dollar article. This alternative is to have child articles of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee article for each year, listing the designs for coins and medals proposed that year. I'll start experimenting with article structure in my sandbox soon. - ZLEA T\C 02:13, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how to see the "structure" of the American Innovation $1 Coin, so I'm not sure what you're proposing. All I care about is having a pages for the designs that are able to be accessed through the main page (like how there is an obverse design currently in the page. I'm not sure why that is a big deal. I'm clear that you don't like/want it. But other than that, I'm not sure what the problem is. If you can explain that, maybe I can understand and find a better way to do what I'm doing.

It was an idea I had to have a child article of the CCAC article for each year listing all the proposed coin designs of each year. I'm not so sure about it now after seeing User:Reywas92's comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/American Innovation $1 Coin Program Design - Obverse. - ZLEA T\C 13:42, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
- Here's an idea... what if there was a separate section on the main page (maybe called "proposed designs", and the table only consisted of images (smaller than the other images on the page) of the coins (not their design numbers ect) and the winner was just highlighted. I'm updating the obverse page now with the new table at the bottom so show what I'm talking about. This would allow up to 13 designs to be listed on a single row so it doesn't take up a large amount of space in the main article. Alternatively I could create a proposed designs page that links to the main page, and put all of the designs on the one page if you don't want all of them in the main article. Which do you think would work best? Iceman0426 (talk) 20:24, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
- I don't think the rejected designs are notable enough to have their own article, or even notable enough to be featured in the main article. Almost no one cares about rejected CCAC coin designs, not even major numismatists. If a rejected coin design is controversial or receives media attention, that's a different story, but so far none of the designs have. - ZLEA T\C 22:02, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

2019 US Banknote Contest edit
.png){kind=logo}
|
US Banknote Contest | 
|
|---|---|---|
| November-December 2019 | ||
|
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here | ||
