Category:MITRE

Robomanx, thanks for adding lots of interesting material about MITRE to Wikipedia. One thing, though: you have been adding Category:MITRE to a lot of articles which are not primarily about MITRE, but where MITRE has done research in the field or has some other relationship to the field. That's not what categories are for -- they are for marking the fact that the article is primarily about a certain topic. Otherwise, imagine how many articles would have category Oxford or Harvard or Caltech! Note that if you want to find what articles *link to* a given article, you can always use the "What links here" feature -- a category isn't necessary. I have removed some of the Category:MITRE links you've added; could you please remove the others? Thanks, --macrakis (talk) 00:00, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RAND corp

Thanks for your edits; I didn't have time to address that paragraph, just stumbled upon it while doing some impromptu research. Looks much better now. Teaforthetillerman (talk) 20:22, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain undo

Why did you undo four of User:AndrewBuck's addition in Wisconsin counties? Andrew added the nearby counties for several counties. You didn't provide an explanation, just undid. They look reasonable and were true. Anyone could verify them on a Wisconsin map. Royal broil 02:31, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I second this question. AndrewBuck's additions look to me to be quite informative and useful. --Baron Larf 07:08, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are both right. I should have explained why I undid the Geographic location template addition. I understand that many people find it decorative and useful. But in my opinion, it's eye candy--cluttering a page without adding information. However, if you truly want it on the page, I won't take any further action to remove it.Robomanx (talk) 01:43, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please also explain your reasoning for stating that Altman, Carney, Cox, Mobley, Ratliff, and Winters were not-very-notable (ie. not notable enough) on Campbellsville, Kentucky. Lack of individual wiki pages does not presume lack of notoriety, simply lack of enough information to fill a complete page (as opposed to leaving a detestable stub).

I just had an admin revert from the last deletion of that section; if it needs to be done again we're chanceing an edit lock on that page. VulpineLady (talk) 15:42, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Danville, Kentucky

I restored the tags on the article. They were not a mistake and I'm not a bot (even though I edit like one sometimes). I've explained in more detail on Talk:Danville,_Kentucky why the article was tagged. Triona (talk) 01:45, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Air Wisconsin

You removed Northwest from this article. That is rewriting history by removing information. The article should be rewritten to show the past involvement with NW. Vegaswikian (talk) 08:27, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The requirements for establishing and running them are quite simple. The main requirement is to have 3 people agree to join and share their contact information with Wikimedia Foundation.

As one of active Wikipedians from Kentucky, I would be pleased to have you join the user group. To join the group, sign on meta here. Sydney Poore/FloNight ♥♥♥♥ 21:22, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

2019 US Banknote Contest

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

Your revert of my edit to Keeneland [1]

I will be deleting "Buffalo Trace" from the title again. They are a sponsor and we do not put any sponsor's name in the title as they come and go and would only cause mass confusion. What we often do is refer to the sponsor in the text. There are rare exceptions when the race has no other name. As an example of policy, we never changed the Kentucky Derby to a former sponsor: Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands[2] May 6, 2017 - Always Dreaming Wins the 143rd Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands in Front of 158070 Fans at the Kentucky Derby.

Just so you understand it, the racetrack proprietor will put the sponsor name in its title but their race history records, and recording race history is what we post here at Wikipedia, only has the race title with the Sponsors' name at the top of the current year's Media Guide. The actual name registered with the Jockey Club as you will see in Keenland's official 2019 Media Guide, records "Franklin County Stakes History".

Request edit assistance - Tamara Gustavson

Hi. I see you’re an experienced Wikipedia editor who is a member of Kentucky WikiProjects. I’ve made proposals to update the article about Tamara Gustavson, a prominent Kentucky resident. These have been partially reviewed by an independent editor, but the reviewing editor didn’t have time to look at all of them. Talk:Tamara Gustavson#Requested Edit Review. I have a conflict of interest as a friend of Gustavson. Would you possibly have time to look at these? Thank you very much.Wiki64gus (talk) 22:59, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
