[edit] National Gold Bank Note

I'd like to reiterate what Andy has already said in that there is no need to delete this article now that it has content and anyone who does is breaking wikipedia guidelines. Just putting the {{stub}} message in and nothing else is grounds for speedy deletion but this is not the case here. In future if you are in the process of working on a page and would like others to leave it alone until you have finished, you can put the {{inuse}} tag into the main body of the article until you have finished, though this should normally only be used for an outside maximum of a few hours. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 15:50, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] U.S. five-dollar bill

PLEASE don't delete out talk pages. Thanks Rick Boatright 03:24, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The rational is that the history discussion is visible WITHOUT going to the history page.

If you want to see an example of how some of this goes, go to the Talk:Bahá'í Faith page, or Talk:Nikola Tesla Rick Boatright 21:16, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] $50 bill

Great job with the $50 bill article! Keep up the good work. MicahMN | Talk 02:22, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

No worries, mate. Looks like you and I probably have some collaboration in our future (our user pages look rather similar) ;) See you around. —chris.lawson (talk) 00:55, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Large cent (U.S. coin)

You can take Large cent (U.S. coin) off your to-do list. ;)--chris.lawson 01:15, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

I've noticed you've done alot of coin editing, or are planning to. Please feel free to visit WikiProject:Numismatics. Joe I 01:38, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Thanks you for joining the WikiProject:Numismatics. There is a to do list on the front page if you are looking for something write. Also, you can add this to your user page to show that you're a member of the project:

Which looks like this:

This user is a member of the Numismatics WikiProject, a WikiProject which aims to expand coverage of numismatics on Wikipedia. Please feel free to join.

Hello.

I'm not making this up, but years ago World Book Encyclopedia mentioned a $50,000 bill with Carter Glass's portrait, and an eagle with spread wings on the reverse. Just wanted to clarify that. Take care.

[edit] One dollar Federal Reserve Note

Hello, fellow Numismatist. I noticed the deletion debate here has fizzled somewhat, but I made some changes to the articles that may further illustrate the points I had been trying to make. Please take a look and let me know what you think. Paul 23:01, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] FRNs

I think I see what you mean-putting all the FRN variations onto the page about FRNs-which isn't a bad idea although it might become quite large, which is why I support separate articles for each issue.

As an aside, it strikes me as strange that the 1963 series is often referred to as the first series. I myself referred to it as that, although I saw a page (BEP or Federal Reserve, I think) that said otherwise. I actually don't know which is correct, I presume that will be found out eventually. And, put on the relevant article for all the world to know, too. All hail WP! Paul 00:24, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Numismatics

Dear WikiProject Numismatics member:

You may have noticed the edits made by user:mom2jandk, and you may have also noticed that I have reverted most of them. I would like to leave this note as an explanation.

mom2jandk is a new user and a clearly enthusiastic member of WikiProject:Numismatics. However, he/she has made several changes (specifically to the categorization scheme) that I reverted for various reasons. Among them, he/she:

• Moved most of the articles in Category:United States Mint to Category:United States mints. This seems to serve no purpose; the United States Mint is the proper name of a government agency (that you are all no doubt familiar with) and its category was created as a home for articles relating to it.

• Created Category:United States currency designers. At the moment there does not seem to be anyone in this category who does not already fit into Category:United States Mint engravers, therefore making it a redundant category.

• Created Category:United States Mint officers. This is problematic for several reasons. Firstly, while any number of persons employed by the Mint might be correctly referred to as "officers," I've never seen the term used. Secondly, virtually all of the articles in the category would fit under Category:United States Mint engravers or Category:Directors of the United States Mint. Thirdly, even if there are articles about persons who were neither engravers or directors, there would likely not be enough to warrant a subcategory, and therefore such an article should be placed in Category:United States Mint.

• Created several other categories that either do not fit or fit awkwardly into the categorization scheme.

• Nominated several categories for deletion, including United States Mint, United States Mint engravers, and others.
  • On the deletion vote for Cat:United States Mint, he seems to be confused as to the purpose of the category; it is, as I said, for articles relating to the government agency known as the United States Mint. There are mints in the United States that are not part of the United States Mint (i.e. the Franklin Mint) and his confusion over this fact seems to be the impetus for the nomination.
  • You might also notice that he nominated cat:Directors of the United States Mint; his explanation is that he broadened the category to "United States Mint officers" so that a Superintendent could be included. The "superintendent of the Mint" to which he referred was Roswell K. Colcord, who was superintendent of the Carson City Mint; there is no such office as "superintendent" for the entire United States Mint (or, if there is, it is distinct from Director of the Mint.)

After reading this fairly lengthy message, you might get the impression that I am attacking either mom2jandk or his/her edits; this is not the case. I have a great deal of admiration for him/her as a new user who is not afraid to jump in and try to improve Wikipedia and the Numismatics project. I hope he/she continues to contribute, and I believe he/she has a great deal to offer. This message is quite long because I wanted to explain the specifics of the categories (many of which, incidentally, were created by me.)

Note that I placed merge tags on most of mom2jandk's categories.

It goes without saying that, if there are any categories that should be altered and/or deleted, by all means make such changes, regardless of whether I or anyone else created them; neither I nor my edits are perfect.

Apologies for using he/she; I assume mom2jandk's user name reflects her role as a mother but I wasn't completely certain.

Thank you all and I look forward to continued work with you in the future. Paul 06:04, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Talk page on US Dollar article

Dear editor:

Your input is requested in connection with the discussion I'm having with editor "Xode" on the talk page for the US dollar article, under the "factual dispute" heading.

Thanks, Famspear 20:27, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Olympics correction

Howdy, I see that you corrected the number of olympic atheletes from Iran. I doublechecked the torino2006.org Summary by IOC where I found the information, and it says 2 men and 0 women. Is that not right? Cacophony 08:11, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] $10 and $100

1. 2 only helps my arguement that these nickanmes should be included since they are not a list of either a)quotations, b) aphorisms, c) persons. Instead it would fall under the fourth category of being a viable list since it is famous BECAUSE of the topic. Your reasoning for reverting the edits is both unreasonable and unfounded.

Rock On! Joe I 02:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your username

Hi there,

I write with regard to your user name, DieYuppieScum. Wikipedia's official policy on usernames prohibits names that may be inflammatory. In view of this, I hope you will consider a name change. This can be arranged quite easily, via Wikipedia:Changing username. Wikipedia bureaucrats can change your username using a special tool available to them: it moves all edits that you have made under your current account to the contributions log of your new username (i.e., all edits listed here will be moved to your new account). You will need to follow very carefully the instructons on this page; in particular, it is imperative that you do not yourself open the new account that you wish to change to—the Special:Renameuser tool cannot move edits to an account that already exists. Feel free to post any questions you may have to my talk page. Regards —Encephalon 07:29, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

This has already been discussed and resolved in the past. --Kurt 18:33, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply, Kurt. I am unable to find the discussion (on your talk page, at any rate) and am also unclear as to how the issue is 'resolved', as the username remains unchanged. Might you enlighten me? Kind regards —Encephalon 10:19, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Oh, it was discussed on another admin's page located here. --Kurt 21:45, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Terrorize this?

I'm confused. What's that all about? It's an article I was working on. Bobby 01:59, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I was expirementing with some suggestions for your page but I didn't get it finished. In case your wondering about the name it is from Team America: World Police which I was watching at the time. --Kurt 02:14, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Ok, It just made me a little nervous since I'm new. :-) I just posted that article live. Bobby 02:21, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Signatures on Talk pages

Okay. I guess I must have not realized I had done that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Lbr123 00:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Re:Username signature in Wikipedia articles

I did not have intention to put the username signature into any article. Where did you find it? Audriusa 06:38, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Oh don't worry about it. It was in the references section of an article. --Kurt 07:33, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] thanks, from thameen

thanks for the advice,

but if signature is not to be used in the article, then why is it active in the article writing panel??

--Thameen 19:42, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What?

What's the deal with the vandalism warning? --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 07:26, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I thought you were doing a test (based on what your summary said). Sorry --Kurt 07:28, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Templates in USD article

I am curious as to why you removed the AsianCurrencies template from the United States dollar article. Given that it's the official currency of of East Timor, the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia and Palau, as well as in the various US insular areas in the Pacific, I'd say that the template merits inclusion (or at the very least, shouldn't be considered vandalism :-P ). – Swid ^{(talk | edits)} 15:52, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

I thought that someone just put that template in there; I wasn't really paying attention that well. I guess by technicality it could go back. --Kurt 04:46, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Demand Note plug

I've added the demand note to this. See if it's cool with you. I had to cut the pic caption, to make up for a long intro. :) Joe I 05:18, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Yah, that's totally cool!

[edit] HTML comment

The HTML comment you removed from United States dollar is useful because it has been a common vandal edit to add a $3 bill to the table. Georgia guy 00:22, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Featured Pic

Hey, if you've checked your history, I asked for help on Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/FOUREFFIGIES, which was removed. I have an itch to get a numismatics pic featured, currently only Image:United States penny, obverse, 2002.jpg is. Would you like me to list Image:Demand Note$.jpg for Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates, or do you think we should try a new one. I do like the idea of this pic, but British money cannot be used cause of copyright. Lemme know. THNX Joe I 03:19, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey, ok, I'll put demand note pic up today. I was actually thinking of something like the foureffigies but with US or another currency that has no copyright value to begin with, just incase. But maybe I'll wait to see what article you start workin on next  :) Joe I 14:10, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Picture peer review Up, change whatever if it needs it.  :) Joe I 14:22, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Today's featured article

Congratulations on having your article on the Main Page. Until someone comes up with a numismatics barnstar, this three-cent piece will have to do.... Keep up the great work! --TantalumTelluride 05:08, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 6 kinds of United States paper currencies

Hi,

I found out about you today. Umm, let me introduce myself. I, too, am interested in currency, more world wide than country-specific, more banknote than coin. I am a strong advocate of template and consistency, creator of Template:Infobox Currency. I read about the website that explains the 6 different kinds of US dollar banknotes before. But I never got the chance to understand them all. But I think it would be good if we list them in Template:US currency and coinage. Casual reader may think Federal Reserve Bank Note = Federal Reserve Note. If we put them next to each other, then the distinction is clear, and curious people will click and gain the knowledge. And correct me if I'm wrong, the bills we see in the movie "Catch me if you can" included United States Notes. So what do you think? --Chochopk 05:20, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:DieYuppieScum/I hope Israel gives 'em what's coming

I won't go into your user name, but userspace pages are not your private website where you can express your opinions as you like. They are intented for project-related work, and Israel giving 'em what's coming is not related to Wikipedia, plus it's quite a rude comment considering that, regardless of intentions and circumstances, hundreds of people who had nothing coming to them have died in last two weeks. Zocky | picture popups 15:25, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I think that this is a case of misinformation. If you had looked at the subpage, you would have seen that it was a draft for an article I was writing about United States currency, and not about Israel (it was just a random title). Further, I created this subpage title when this current Israel/Hezbollah conflict started because I felt that terrorist groups attacking Israel need to be destroyed. Yes, this has created violence/death on both sides, but life is a series of sacrafises that sometimes are hard and, well, just plain suck. And finally, I stand by my opinion and don't think that stating that Israel should give them what's coming is rude. What's rude is that terrorists attack indscrimently and, in this case, use the population of Southern Lebanon as a human shield. It's rude that terrorists insite violence in a world that wants peace (well a great majority atleast). Infact, it's more than rude, it's wretched. No blind eye should be turned toward violent terrorists. --Kurt 11:23, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Terrorists mostly don't use Wikipedia user pages to further their goals, so there's not much I or Wikipedia can do about terrorists directly. But I can call something offensive when it is, and that page title is offensive. The people that are "getting it" are humans, just like you and me. Celebrating their deaths and calling for more is highly distasteful, especially from a safe distance where you don't have either to see or do the killing. Zocky | picture popups 14:59, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I concur. This is coming up on unrelated searches, incidentally, because of the content of the page, and it reflects poorly on Wikipedia. Please rename it; I will be happy to delete it if you wish that done, as well. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 00:12, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I didn't find it from internal searches. It came up on a search engine, and an outside reader complained about the vandalism to a currency page that he didn't know how to fix. Thank you for requesting its deletion. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 15:06, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Username

Your Username while possibly amusing may run afoul of WP:USERNAME. You may want to consider getting it changed. JoshuaZ 15:31, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
