US mints in the Confederacy ?

I knew that the Confederacy used US bills from the New Orleans mint (the Ga and NC were not referenced in my reading so far), but I thought that they were newly printed with captured plates, not circulated from stocks left behind in the vaults. But now that you mention it, I remember the Confederacy stopping the practice. I did not know whether it was from an end to the supply, or national pride.

--No challenge, I'll just keep grazing along on this one. Do you have any recommended reading?

But I'd really like to expand the pictured stamp and currency features at least by reference ... your hobby too? mine was stamps, long ago and far away. Wasn't it Spain and Brazil which recognized the belligerency status of the Confederacy? were their currencies or stamps used in circulation in the blockade-running ports? British? Towards 1865, it was $70 CS to $1 gold coin (Thomas, 'Confederate Nation').

Samuel Chase's US bonds to finance the War were bought up by British banking concerns among others. That had to sting. Family lore has it that purchasing Confederate bonds, William and Mary lost its entire endowment, which had been comparable to Harvard's ... TheVirginiaHistorian (talk) 15:29, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

University High Alumni

Thanks for adding yourself! The only way to really cite the fact is with an article that states you went to University High School, so if you know of one, that's what we're looking for. Bonnie13J (talk) 03:54, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of University High School (Irvine, California) alumni, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Loving. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of AdsML

The article AdsML has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (software) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:12, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
