Thanks for adding the picture of the Jeffers Petroglyphs. Also, you might be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Minnesota, where we work on articles about Minnesota. Or, if you have a historical bent, there's Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places. (The Zumbrota Covered Bridge at Image:ZumbrotacoveredbridgeSM.jpg is on the National Register.) Happy editing! --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 04:44, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- As far as the meetup goes, it's actually this Sunday, the 29th, 1 PM, at the Tucci Benucch at the Mall of America. Wikipedia talk:Meetup/Minneapolis has more information on it. I don't think there's a set plan or agenda for the meetup -- it's just for people to say "hi" and to get to know one another.
- As far as the {{WikiProject Minnesota}} tag goes, it should go on any page that's related to Minnesota. "Related to" is a fuzzy concept, and nobody has really defined it yet. Generally, I'd say that any article that can go into Category:Minnesota or a subcategory (like Category:Minnesota state parks, Category:Cities in Minnesota) would qualify for the project. I don't know about companies based outside of Minnesota that do business here, but it's probably no big deal either way. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 05:20, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Apologies for jumping into a conversation on someone else's talk page, but there is a late change of location within the Mall of America for the meetup today. See this page for details. We'd love to see you, if you can come. Jonathunder 15:17, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Re: Use of sources
editYou asked: That just means I can't literally include/upload text and images from the document, but I can use the facts and information as long as I include a reference????
That's correct. You can use the information from the document that Dual Freq linked as long as you mention that you got it from that document. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for more information about how to do this, including the citation templates. Generally, you should list the names of documents (or titles of books, or addresses of Web sites) in the "References" section of the Wikipedia article. Feel free to ask me if you have any more questions. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 21:23, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
