	==Emerson Pages==
	Mike- thanks for contributing to the ] pages and making corrections/adding additional info. I am a fan of his stuff. It seems like some people think there should be more sources and references, and I am having a hard time finding them from "legitimate" sources. Most are in advertisements, but I have put links to most of the articles I have found (online).I konw there is a lot of hype associated with them, so it is seen as difficult to divide facts from hype. If you could help with the endeavor I would appreciate it.
	I also see that you are a veteran. Thank you for your service to The USA. God Bless America. ] 08:21, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

			Nominations for the upcoming project coordinator election are now open. A team of up to ten coordinators will be elected for the next year. The project coordinators are the designated points of contact for issues concerning the project, and are responsible for maintaining our internal structure and processes. They do not, however, have any authority over article content or editor conduct, or any other special powers. More information on being a coordinator is available ]. If you are interested in running, please sign up ] by 23:59 UTC on 14 September! Voting doesn't commence until 15 September. If you have any questions, you can contact any member of the ].

I used to be involved with it much more, but you may be interested in usualsuspect dot net.

			You are receiving this message because your username or portal was listed as a participant of a WikiProject that is related to Africa, the Carribean, Cinema or theatre.
	Dear Mike,

			This is to introduce you to a new Wikiproject called ''''']'''''. This new project is dedicated to improving the Misplaced Pages coverage of the history, works, people, places, events, etc, that are associated with the cinema, theatre and arts of Africa, African countries, the carribbean, and the diaspora. If you would love to be part of this or you're already contributing in this area, kindly list your name as a participant on the '']''.
	I am trying to help build the Strider article with verifiable source material. If you want to talk to me about editing the Strider article and other knife articles for the good of the encylopedia please use my talk page. If you want to talk about what you think you know about my reputation, use the same page.

			Furthermore, In the months of October and November, the WikiProject is organizing a global on-wiki contest and edit-a-thon tagged: ''']'''. If you would love to join us for this exciting event, also list your username as a participant for this event ]. In preparation for the contest, please do ] that need to be created or expanded in different countries, during this event!
	If you look through the History of the Strider article, you'll see that I was the one who removed the USN-styled character assasination of Mick Strider because I thought it was irrelevant and cruel.

			If you have any questions, complaints, suggestions, etc., please reach out to me personally on my talkpage! Cheers!--] (]) 20:50, 5 September 2018 (UTC)}}
	I don't know what you're reading about me or why you are attacking me here. I think you have some bad information and I can clear it up for you if you need me to. Still, I had to post the defamation and no personal attacks notices because I've been attacked by crazed Strider fans before. I think you can understand.

			== Nominations now open for "Military historian of the year" and "Military history newcomer of the year" awards ==
	What I'm getting at is that these articles don't really need to tell us that Ernie Emerson was born in a 20X20 log cabin, do they? He's an important knife maker, but it's not like he is George Washington. Further, he can get a 3000-word puff piece done on him in any or all three of the glossy knife magazines with one phone call. Does that kind of fluff need to be in an encyclopedic article?

	The same goes for the Strider article, and all the model listings being loaded into each article. These look worse than fansites; they look like brochures. I want to show you the links to wikipedia style and "what wikipedia is not," but I don't want to come off like I'm browbeating you. When you have time can you look at that and tell me what you think?

			Hey Mike, if you're around, I reckon I have massaged ] nearly to within striking distance of FAC after a cleanup. It would be the first snake FA if successful.

See ] ] (] '''·''' ]) 19:45, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
	Sam,

			== Voting now open for "Military historian of the year" and "Military history newcomer of the year" awards ==
	I started working on what was there. I don't see how either can be considered a "Fan page" or a "brochure" every fact can be documented and is documented. The Ernest Emerson page is a biography about Mr Emerson. You may not think it's noteworthy that the man was born in humble surroundings and rose to the top of his field...some people do.

			Voting for our annual ] and ] awards is open until 23:59 (GMT) on 30 December 2018. Why don't you vote for the editors who you believe have made a real difference to Misplaced Pages's coverage of military history in 2018? ] (]) 02:17, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
	All of the models are not loaded into each article. There are many on the Emerson Knives article, again put their by previous editors. You ever wonder how many people ask you how many models, variations, etc that exist or why a knife was made a certain way? As a longtime collector I am asked these all the time and I see it on the various knife forums over and over. The only models I made mention of were the ones with the NSN numbers or those with some historical significance.

			]Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to ].

			== Wikiproject Military history coordinator election nominations open ==
	You can overreact to my advice if you like, that's always an option. My only concern is that these look like fan sites and not like encyclopedic entries. The reason for my concern is that, eventually, Misplaced Pages administrators will delete them for that very reason. You're kind of new here, so you won't know about that unless you see it happen or read it in the guidelines. If you aren't going to read the guidelines to make them Wiki compliant, you could look at some of the gun pages for a guide. I don't know enough about Strider and Emerson to add anything encyclopedic. But, I am trying to help you. If you don't want the advice, you don't have to take it. But when they delete those articles, you'll know why.

	Your comment that the Ernest Emerson page is a biography is not well met. You need to read the Wiki Manual of Style to understand what makes a biography and what makes a fan page. I understand that you didn't start any of these pages, but you are doing the most to add sycophantic puffery to them -- intentionally or not.

	I can tell that you are emotionally invested in these knife maker articles, and I understand that it will be difficult to reason with you. That's why I approached you about these problems privately on our talk pages before I fixed them myself. This is how things are done, here. This isn't the usual suspects forum site.

Black mamba

Hey Mike, if you're around, I reckon I have massaged black mamba nearly to within striking distance of FAC after a cleanup. It would be the first snake FA if successful. Just thought a look by another pair of eyes'd be good at this point (I must say it has been more onerous to overhaul an article rather than write from scratch).

File:Sgt. Will Gardner Poster.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Misplaced Pages non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Misplaced Pages talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000.

The AfroCine Project welcomes you to October, the first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to list your name under the participants section.

2019 US Banknote Contest

	US Banknote Contest
November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
