TJ connection?

I noted your interesting addition on the history of the TJHS mascot and symbols. Is this something you know from being there, or was there a published source we can add? (Not questioning your info AT ALL ... having spent a great deal of time over there, I find your notation explains some odd vestiges I've seen of former symbols.) Lawikitejana 15:08, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I attended TJHS in Dallas from August 1975 until graduation in May 1978. I also grew up in the area serviced by TJHS, so my post re: TJHS (Dallas) was based on having been a former longtime resident of the area as well as a TJHS graduate. I recall that on one day while at TJHS in 1977 or 1978, I found a cache of old TJHS yearbooks ("The Document") near the counselors' offices on the second floor of the school building. These yearbooks dated back to the 1960s. These yearbooks had ample references to the use of the term "Rebels" and the Confederate Navy Jack as the school's flag. I believe that the name change occurred in either 1973 or 1974.Cvieg 02:38, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

May 2007 edition of the WikiProject Germany newsletter

The Germany WikiProject Newsletter Issue I - May 2007
From the editor This is the first issue of WikiProject Germany's newsletter. The newsletter is intended to help all members of the project to keep up with new developments and coordinate new collaborative efforts.	Other areas where you can help Assessment requests: Some open Requests for assessment need to be answered. To see new assessment requests as they come in, you can watchlist the assessment page. More task forces and subprojects: As this WikiProject covers a very large topic area, it is helpful to add more task forces that focus on specific aspects of Germany. Currently, we have a Mainz task force, a Munich subproject and some joint task forces with other WikiProjects. Any project member is invited to start a new task force. Suggestions for possible topics: Transportation in Germany German politics (the political system of Germany and the biographies of its politicians) German Democratic Republic Be creative! If you have an idea, just suggest it on the project talk page (don't forget to watchlist it). Categorization: Uncategorized Germany stubs need to be categorized
Project news Criteria for B-Class status: The assessment criteria for B-Class have been changed. {{WikiProject Germany}} template now has 5 switches, B-Class-1 through B-Class-5 that correspond to 5 easily checked criteria that an article should meet to be assessed as B-Class. The advantage of this system is that now there is a clear boundary between Start-Class and B-Class articles. Authors of articles that were assessed as Start-Class now get more direct feedback what they should improve to attain a B-Class rating. All of our B-Class, Start-Class and Stub-Class articles now need to be checked whether they meet any of the B-Class criteria. This is a major effort, and we need your help! If you want to help, but don't know how, please post at the project talkpage. Cities and municipalities task force A task force dedicated to creating and improving articles on all German cities and municipalities has been started and is looking for help.

Small request

Hello. Glad to see someone else editing Brecht. I've been working my way through the biography (only up to 1924 at the moment) with cited sources. You added something on '53; I can get the poem source, but when you get a free moment, would you be able to add a footnote for the details of his response that comes after that? Don't mean to sound like I'm challenging it--as I'm certainly not; just anticipating the drive to banish all those 'lacking citations' warnings on the page. Many thanks, DionysosProteus 02:09, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Leaders of East Germany

Thank you for cleaning up after the merge. I tried while doing it, but it started to hurt my head. :) Pairadox 02:35, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Nice work

I caught your very recent edit at Allied Occupation Zones in Germany. It was a cut above the normal edit to an established article, indicating, in addition to fine writing skills, a thoughtfulness that is absent from many editors' work. So I looked at your contribution history, and did a quick study of your work here on Wikipedia. My findings confirmed my initial impression: you're a significant asset to the project, and I wanted to congratulate you on your fine work.

My only complaint—wait a moment, I actually have two. My first suggestion would be for you to use the edit summary more often. You have a low rate of employing the edit summary, and if another editor wants to check up on your work, it is much easier for him to do so if he can peruse your summaries in the revision history, without having to open up an actual dif page. It's not a huge thing, but it would be something sure to come up if you are ever nominated for an adminship (which I can easily see happening, except for my second complaint). My second desire regarding your work in Wikipedia would be that you do more of it. Truly, you have much to bring to the table. Your number of contributions since signing up is a bit low, which makes me suspect that you place a higher premium on your personal life (you know, family, work, friends, healthy activities) than you do on Wikipedia. If this is the reason why you do not contribute more, then I salute you, and wish that I could live so balanced a life. But if by some chance the reason that you contribute so little is because you don't think that what you do matters, then please, please, consider giving more time to the project. You are a fine editor.

In deciding which Barnstar to award you (something, by the way, I have only done twice before), I was tempted to give you the Geography Barnstar. But I think that your quantity of contributions is too small to justify that one. But this one is not about quantity, it is all about providing the highest quality:

		The Editor's Barnstar
		For edits which demonstrate a superior use of language, an understanding (even if unconscious) of the importance of each word chosen, in addition to an in-depth knowledge base of all things GDR, I award you this Editor's Barnstar. Unschool (talk) 23:09, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

East Germany

Hello there!

You have sure edited lots of articles dealing with East Germany, congratulations on that!

I share the same interest and would like to edit articles on this topic. Is there a WikiProject that I could join? Also, I have noticed that there are several articles on the German Wikipedia (such as this list [1]) which could be very helpful if there just was someone to translate them.

Anyways. I just wanted to let you know that I am willing to share my knowledge and learn more about East Germany and I think that you are the right person to introduce myself to in order to have some thoughts about co-editing East Germany related topics.

The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence

Hello. In light of the fact that it is the first book the U.S. government ever went to court to censor before its publication(!), I was hoping you could help improve the The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence article as part of an effort to make it worthy of becoming a featured article candidate? --Loremaster (talk) 14:13, 18 June 2008 (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.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:58, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
