census figures
- You wrote, in the Virginia article,
- According to the US Census, Fairfax County has the highest median income of any county in the United States with a population of more then 1,000,000 of $88,133.
- First, I might suggest a way to rephrase it to make it flow better:
- According to the U.S. Census, among all U.S. counties of more than a million people, Fairfax County has the highest median family income, $88,133.
- That is, assuming you did mean family income. If you meant individual income, then say that instead. What is your source? Can you cite a web page? That helps. Then you can link it to U.S. Census in case anyone doubts you, and also so that future editors can re-check the website to see if the data have changed.
- By the way, I haven't checked to see if your words have subsequently been "wordsmithed" or deleted for lack of citation -- but if they have, don't fret. I see you're new around here. If you get reverted, it stings, I know. But you can fix the complaint (if it was just a lack of citation or wordsmithing) and re-edit the article.
- And, oh, by the way... WELCOME! It's great to have one more editor who wants to make this thing better!
- --GraemeMcRae 22:00, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- I did a little more digging around, and I think you should quote this figure: $84,009 is the median household income for the county of Fairfax, according to Census Bureau estimates for the year 2000, and among all U.S. counties with a population over a million, this is the highest. I found this information...
- Census bureau data for income and poverty
- Title of this website is as follows:
- U.S. Census Bureau
- Small Area Income & Poverty Estimates (SAIPE)
- Model-based Estimates for States, Counties & School Districts
- Data from the "all" file (filename est00ALL.dat) on directory http://www.census.gov/housing/saipe/estmod00 can be saved by opening http://www.census.gov/housing/saipe/estmod00/est00ALL.dat, and saving the contents as a .txt file.
- Oddly enough, this file doesn't have the population of each county, so I included one calculated field, which is the population -- it's the number of people (all ages) in poverty divided by the percentage (all ages) in poverty. Unfortuately, this measure is highly inacurate for counties like Fairfax that have very little poverty!
- Still, even by that measure, the population was 998,707, so I can believe it was just over a million, this error the result of rounding.
- The only counties with higher median household income are Loudoun County, VA, and Douglas County, CO, and these counties have far fewer than a million people in them.
- So your edit passes muster. But still, I'm wondering... Did you have an easier way to get at this data?

Scouting and User box
Thanks for joining the Scouting Project. We need more people with a knowledge of the Girl Scout side of things. I'd like to make your custom Gold Scout box into a regular box so others can use it. Is that okay? All I have to do is make a template with your code, put a link on the Scouting section of wiki's user boxes, and then put the template back on your page instead of the code. Is this okay? Rlevse 11:09, 8 February 2006 (UTC), Scouting Project and Portal coordinator.
Concerning image Image:Westfield crest.jpg
Can you image edit it and cut it down to just the relevant crest? As it is it makes the infobox on the instutution HUGE. Thanx 68.39.174.238 07:07, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Works in Progress
Please don't post Works in progress in article space. Work on them as subpages of your own User page, then Move them. What you had posted wasn't an article. User:Zoe|(talk) 18:53, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Family tree
You created Zidel333/Atreides Family Tree in the article space, I moved it to your userspace at User:Zidel333/Atreides Family Tree --W.marsh 02:46, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Scouting article work
If you are getting this, it is because you do or did work on Scouting articles (see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Scouting#Participants_and_primary_areas_of_interest).
As the Scouting WikiProject has been formed since early January 2006, we've had many great improvements made in this area of Wiki and I want to personally thank everyone for their help. We don't always agree on things, but we keep moving forward. YIS, Rlevse 22:09, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Another admin deleted your scanned image under the CSD criteria I5. I would have deleted but I was beat to it. However, if you need the image for some reason, I have saved it onto my computer. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 22:42, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Orphaned fair use image (Image:Westfield crest2.jpg)

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Westfield crest2.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Telso 03:07, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Westfield Alumni
Hey Zidel. After looking at a bunch of places, particularly List of Cornell University people (haha, so biased right? =P), I feel like either way is fine. That list utilizes both types of sorting on the same page, so it's pretty inconsistent. If you think the other way was better, feel free to change it. Also, were you able to get the pictures you said you were going to take? Any alumni from 2006 worth noting? Thanks. Arsonal 07:50, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!
Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
- Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
- The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—and wherever—you'd like:
- Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
- Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!
- Working on featured-level articles? We have some advice for nominators, and an A-Class review process to help check high-quality articles.
- Want to help with specific requests for assistance? Our requests page has extensive lists of requested articles, images, maps, and translations.
- Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, or periods.
- Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Wikipedia.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 17:18, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Nut roll
I delinked the names because I redirected those articles to Nut roll - they are all about the same thing, and we don't need separate articles for names in various languages and minor variations. Somebody seems to have reverted those redirects though. Zocky | picture popups 06:21, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Idylls of the King
Hello, Zidel. In case you have not been back I thought I should let you know that I have given some partial answers to your interesting Humanities Desk questions on Tennyson. I'm sorry you were upset by the other editor's response, which may indeed have appeared a little offhand and dismissive, though I feel sure that was not the real intention.

List of Family Houses in Dune
Hey there; since the article is a list of Houses mentioned in the series, I thought the fact that there are many more unnamed ones is immaterial. But there really should be a Landsraad link somewhere on the page anyway, so I added something back in. What do you think? TAnthony 16:33, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
