DYK nomination

Hi APK, I got the WP Bacon invitation too! Anyway, I just started the article Genuine Negro Jig (album), which is very relevant to WikiProject North Carolina (I know you're part of that). The band which released the album specializes in promoting Piedmont folk music and is from Durham. I've nominated it for DYK.

WikiProject District of Columbia

I notice you are one of the few editors that seem to still make edits to the WikiProject District of Columbia pages. Is this still an active project or has it basically gone inactive aside from yourself and the one or 2 other editors that maintain it? --Kumioko (talk) 21:08, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Based on comments received from the editors who are still active in WikiProject DC I have added District of Columbia to {{WikiProject United States}}. I will start tagging the DC articles in the next couple days. The syntax of the template looks like this:

{{WikiProject United States|class=|importance=|District of Columbia=yes}}. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. --Kumioko (talk) 20:14, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

invite to assess with PPI

Hi APK,

I saw some of your contributions on the DOT article which falls within the scope of Wikiproject: United States Public Policy, and I was hoping you would be interested in assessing articles with the Public Policy Initiative. There is more info about assessment on the 9/13/2010 Signpost. (Personally, I am impressed with your past too, most preachers' kids that I knew just partied hard for a few years, then repented and returned to the fold. I am always impressed by people who are able to reassess the belief system that they grew up with.) If you're interested or just curious you can sign up on the project page or just contact me.

Franklin Tower fire

Photos of Franklin Tower in D.C. ablaze. (It's my site, or, rather, at least the G-rated one I can list on Wikipedia.) Too bad there's not a "major building blazes in D.C." article. (Or would that be too trivial?) While doing the L'Enfant Plaza article, I learned about the four-alarm blaze at the U.S. Postal Service headquarters building in 1984. I like fire.
