Pennsylvania Military Museum

Hi, I've taken a look at your article - looks fine to me so far. I've added some categories to the article.

Note that you can automatically sign talk page messages by typing ~~~~ - get ~ by holding down shift and #.

thanks for you note

of support about my photographs on wikipedia. I love the project dearly but learned long ago that in a democracy everyone gets a vote and they all count the same. I've also learned to pick my fights carefully (raising two girls helped on that one) and frankly fighting about my pictures, the copyright issues and that sort of thing is NOT time that I consider to be well spent. And, frankly, when I get pissed off (can we say that here?) my response is to often pluck out a few more pictures. I lookdt at your PA Military museum and it's quite a sight.

Help please

See if this works. I just discovered and read about the much maligned userboxes. I would like to add four of them to my user page but the display is all wonky. Any assistance would be great. Thank you. --Aujourd'hui, maman est morte (talk) 13:07, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I've slightly changed it, both to display better, and to give you an idea of how to use the table syntax. I hope it's OK, :-) Stwalkerster [ talk ] 13:13, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I reversed your edits again as Buzz Lightyear is showing up under the People currently in space Category. This is a category for Astronauts and not cartoons.--Npnunda (talk) 01:53, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Reflist vs. References

Hiya, Aujourd'hui, maman est morte. Yeah, I saw your articles on the Prison Rape act and board on the DYK nomination page. So, why 'reflist' over 'references'? I have no idea. It's a personal preference, I suppose. I've learned about Wikipedia through seeing others' edits, and the really big, poular articles all have 'reflist' instead of 'references'. I've never bothered to ask the wiki community why I should use one over the other. Unless you've heard otherwise, I'd advise you to use {{reflist}} because it reduces the text size, which makes it seem more like a footnote, like the references actually are. Thanks for hearing me out, BobAmnertiopsis_{ChitChat Me!} 03:39, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

You're most welcome. BobAmnertiopsis_{ChitChat Me!} 03:43, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Camus would be proud

Hello! Sorry to bother, but I just wanted to say that you have the very, very, very best name I've seen on Wikipedia. I just discovered your account by accident and I let out a big happy laugh in seeing that Camus opening line. Bravo, monsieur! Ecoleetage (talk) 12:46, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Did you ever see the film version with Marcello Mastroianni? It is more curious than interesting, but it is worth seeking out. Ecoleetage (talk) 02:28, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

If you e-mail me via Wikipedia I can point you to a source that can offer a DVD copy of "The Stranger". Ecoleetage (talk) 12:49, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Buzz Lightyear at the Kennedy Space Center.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Buzz Lightyear at the Kennedy Space Center.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

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
