John Grisham

Hey there. In response to your inquiry about John Grisham running, here are a few links. But keep in mind, like Ben Affleck, it is still speculation at this point so there are no official announcements or anything like that yet. link 1, link 2, link 3, link 4. There are also several blogs talking about it, but I won't post those (besides the one).

Thank you for voting!

Hello there! I wanted to thank you for taking the time to vote on my arbitration commitee nomination. Although it was not successful, I appreciate the time you spent to read my statement and questions and for then voting, either positively or negativly. Again, thank you!

Caffiene

Erowid is arguably the most notable drug info site on the web; it's the drug equivalent of imdb. I deleted the energyfiend.com link because that site has google syndication which is often an indicator that the anonymous contributor is trying to boost hits to that site via Wikipedia. I agree that the Thinkgeek t-shirt link should be deleted. I focus more on removing spam as it's added, so I didn't notice that. Also, please do not link edit summaries to my talk page (that link has been broken). The comment would've been more appropriate on the Caffiene talk page.

Euchre

Hi! I notice you added a bit to the Euchre page about Jack Bauer. Do you have citation for that? Thanks, --William Pietri 05:20, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Presidential Primary Map

I approve of your modifications, but could you please make it more colorful?

I also ran into a problem: changing color with the map you have is virtually impossible... my previous map enabled you to easily change the fill of each state.

Hi Velvetsmog. I am curious what you find to be new research in the Landslide section? Thanks. CApitol3 21:54, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Media history"

I tagged the network slogan articles because they had no references and did not explain why they should be in an encyclopedia. Trivialist (talk) 19:58, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Split electoral vote history

In the article on Nebraska's 2nd congressional district, you identified the 1892 election as the last time a state split its electoral votes. According to Atlas of American History by Ferrell and Natkiel, West Virginia cast a split electoral vote in 1916. Checking with one of the federal sources cited by Wikipedia articles on U.S. elections, one of West Virginia's votes that year went to Wilson (D), while Hughes (R) got the other seven.

Upon closer examination of the Atlas of American History election maps, it appears there may have been split votes in Tennessee 1948, Mississippi 1956 and Alabama 1960, but I haven't verified those with any other source.

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided - one is April 8 (Wednesday) starting at 6 pm and the other is April 18 (Saturday) starting at 10 am. (Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration.) Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page . Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 01:06, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
