I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the ''']''', an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Misplaced Pages project for twenty years or more. &#x200B;

'''FROM GROßE KAISER''': In response to your message, much of the Confederate page seems to be written from a very northern bias point of view. I disagree with much of the page and its obvious others do to. You say you will block me for "engaging in a slow-motion edit war" but it takes more thank one person to have a war therefore if you block me you must also block yourself and everyone else who supposedly participated in the war. I understand what your saying but it isn't your page either. You shouldn't block anyone because they disagree with you. I am simply wanting this page to have no pro northern or pro southern leanings. People's views on the American Civil War should be left out of this article. It should be for informative purposes only. Thank you --Große Kaiser. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 22:16, 11 June 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== United States historical maps ==
== 2012 ==


Hi,
<div style="border-style:solid; border-color:red; background-color:fff; border-width:2px; text-align:left; padding:8px;" class="plainlinks">]


I noticed that you've been editing your series of United States historical maps. I have two requests:


1. Can you edit the labeled maps like https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5d/United_States_Central_map_1780-03-00_to_1780-10-25.png, even though they're not shown on the Territorial Evolution of the United States Misplaced Pages page?
] (]) is wishing you a ] ]! This greeting (and season) promotes ] and hopefully this note has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a ], whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Happy New Year! <br />


2. Can you show the Northwestern North America, Pacific Ocean, and Caribbean maps to the same scale as the Central North America maps, and with the same image aspect ratio? The Pacific Islands will probably need to be shown as insets.

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ] .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

Hi Golbez! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of the day you made your first edit and became a Wikipedian! The Herald (Benison) (talk) 04:58, 14 March 2024 (UTC) 		Party popper emoji

Invitation to join the Twenty Year Society

Dear Golbez,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Twenty Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Misplaced Pages project for twenty years or more. ​

United States historical maps

Hi,

I noticed that you've been editing your series of United States historical maps. I have two requests:

1. Can you edit the labeled maps like https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5d/United_States_Central_map_1780-03-00_to_1780-10-25.png, even though they're not shown on the Territorial Evolution of the United States Misplaced Pages page?

2. Can you show the Northwestern North America, Pacific Ocean, and Caribbean maps to the same scale as the Central North America maps, and with the same image aspect ratio? The Pacific Islands will probably need to be shown as insets.

Thanks in advance! Squee3 (talk) 20:08, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

United States historical maps, again

Hi,

I noticed that your new Pacific Ocean maps aren't to the same scale as the others. Would you be willing to make a series of maps of just Hawaii to the same scale as the others?

Thanks in advance! Squee3 (talk) 01:41, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Re: having all maps to the same scale, I just think it would look nice. Squee3 (talk) 17:02, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
Re: the Pacific map scale, maybe keep the maps you have, but create a separate series of to-scale maps truncated to just Hawaii? Squee3 (talk) 21:14, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Hawaii historical maps

Would you be willing to make of series of historical maps of just Hawaii? They don't have to be a part of the Territorial Evolution of the United States map collection, but they should have the same map scale, aspect ratio, and style. Squee3 (talk) 19:16, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Using your maps in a history project

Hi Golbez. I work for a company that's making a big American history project. I'd like to use your maps as a reference for our work, but I have some questions. Would we be able to talk?

Thanks so much! Joe JoeCMM (talk) 10:14, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Precious anniversary

Historical maps again

I don't mean to be rude, and I know it'll probably take a while, but are you working on the labeled maps? It's been quite a while since you uploaded the last corrected change map. Also, you don't have to do this if you don't want to, but I'd still appreciate the Hawaii map series I mentioned earlier. Squee3 (talk) 15:26, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

I responded to you a week ago, and haven't worked on it since. It'll get done. --Golbez (talk) 16:39, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Using your map

Hi Golbez,

Was hoping to incidentally see one of your maps in a project that makes the usual attribution tricky. I'm wondering if it would be possible to quickly chat with you about it? Thank you!! Safarres (talk) 19:35, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Tinkering

Howdy. It's mostly Batong1930, who's constantly tinkering or changing the images. As a result, I removed the List of presidents of the United States & List of vice presidents of the United States from my watchlist. GoodDay (talk) 19:51, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

United States historical maps, yet again

Again, I don't mean to be rude, but I'd still like you to update the labeled United States history maps to match the change maps. I'd also still like you to make a Hawaii-specific series of maps with the same map scale and aspect ratio as the United States in Central North America maps.
