Sandbox invite

Anyone may play in my sandboxes, in the archive list to the right, IF you promise to behave. This means:

• No kicking sand
• No hitting other people over the head with toys
• No pooping, even if you are a cat and neatly cover it up!
• It's my sandbox, so I can throw you out if you misbehave!  :-)

Typical talk page discussion thread

"[The] readers will not be privy to the massive undercurrents of dross that underpins WP. They require well written, well sourced, encyclopaedic material that can inform, enlighten and satisfy their interest."

—User:Leaky caldron to User:ThatPeskyCommoner

"We live a time when criticism, especially here on Wikipedia, is considered to be a personal attack, which is at the root of this nonsense. Yet without criticism we can't improve."

—The user formerly known as Malleus Fatuorum

"Montana, you know I respect you greatly--you write FAs that have fewer adjectives than that outburst."

—User:Drmies

"Every edit, especially bold ones, is disruptive. Disruptive just means changing the status quo and because Wikipedia is in a constant state of evolution, it is in a constant state of disruption ..."

Hello, can you please come to the Brumby page and have a look and give some suggestions. I was called to the page myself due and asked to mediate a better term than ferial, as we have a Federal judge that in a ruling has eluded to the fact that this label is a little misleading and I tend to agree as it can give a narrative that a could lead to its mistreatment. His term that he has chosen is Brumby Shenqijing (talk) 09:15, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Montana women's suffrage Comment

Heya! I thought I'd drop these on your page to look at. I just finished List of Montana suffragists, Timeline of women's suffrage in Montana and Women's suffrage in Montana. There's a ton of redlinks, but the most interesting one is Clara McAdow. Do you have any info on her? She was apparently a mine owner or some such and a suffragist. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:17, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Megalibrarygirl Talk-page Stalker just stalking, I will add her to the talk page on WIR and see if we get some hits from anyone searching for sources.--Tsistunagiska (talk) 17:54, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, Tsistunagiska! She seems like an interesting woman! :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:15, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

@Megalibrarygirl: - A fellow editor left these items to look at concerning Clara McAdow:

Here are a few newspaper articles (via Newspapers.com) that might help:

• Died Worth Millions
• She's a Rarity, Even in the West
• A Woman Who Knew How to Make Money Note that article continues below image.
• She Made the Mine Pay
• Mrs. Clara McAdow

Hi there

Montana,

I hope your remember me. If you need help, I'm an editor who created a number of Harness Racing articles.

Two of which were Bruce Nickells and Fast Clip. My father and Bruce co-owned Clip. I was thrilled today today to find two videos at Youtube featuring FC. Here[1] and here[2]. The second is where we finished 2nd in the 1972 Little Brown Jug to Strike Out even though Clip broke the world record at the time. Clip timed in 156.4 and the record being 157.0 for a 3yo pacer on a half mile track. Of course Strike Out went 156.3. SO was a great horse.

The other video says Bruce Nickells was driving Clip but it was Ted Taylor. Anyway I enjoyed finding these.

Just thought I'd share them with you. I see you haven't edited in a while. Hope everything is well with you. Cheers!...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:38, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

those sound like awesome finds! I have not been super active but I am doing well. Working on a different project in real life, feel free to drop me an email if you want an update. Montanabw^(talk) 15:58, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Tell us about your experiences editing the English Wikipedia!

Hi Montanabw!

I am conducting an interview study about how Wikipedia editors collaborate in the English edition of Wikipedia. The project description is on the WMF meta wiki: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Characterizing_Collaboration_Models_in_the_EN,_FR_and_ES_Language_Editions_of_Wikipedia.

This research study is part of a larger project where we are trying to understand how editors collaborate in different language editions of Wikipedia. I was looking through our team’s prior dataset and came across conversations that you have had on the Bud Dunn article talk page. I am interested in learning more about those conversations.

Would you be willing to participate in a 1 hour interview about your experience? The interview will take place virtually over Skype, Hangout, Zoom or phone.

Our research team will make our best efforts to keep your participation confidential. Participation in our study is voluntary. If you are willing to participate in this interview, or if you have additional questions please email me. Or, if you are concerned about direct email you can contact me through Wikipedia’s mail feature.

If you are interested or have any other questions, please let us know.
