2019 US Banknote Contest
.png){kind=logo}
|
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 | ||

Notability criteria for journalists?
Hi, I was wondering if Draft:Derek Bowler (Head of Social Newsgathering at the European Broadcasting Union) passes criteria 1 of WP:JOURNALIST for being an "important figure" in his field (or any other criteria from that list). I would very much appreciate your feedback. 185.226.65.149 (talk) 23:04, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

  The Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met will be hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Saturday November 16, 2019 in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D.

These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely. Asia Art Archive will host a sister event in Hong Kong next week.

Hi! You may be interested in seeing my comment on the AfD you posted on, since I have found lots of sources that may indicate notability. Also, great catch on the WP:ATD redirect to Shaun King. I don't think that will be needed now, however. Regards, Jovanmilic97 (talk) 18:56, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited New York energy law, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages AP and National Grid (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Concerning your question, userfied, probably not (WP:WEBHOST). Transwikied, that would depend where.
But since there are no egregious copyright violations or personal attacks, any admin should be able to provide you with a version of the article as of deletion if you want to put that on a private wiki or similar. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 10:01, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Regarding Noble Babu Thomas deletion
Though Helen was his first film as an actor, this reference clearly mentions that he has proved his mettle by surprising a popular and established actor Aju Varghese. And if you look on to the cited references, you would clearly have the knowledge that he is not just a least part of those films. I believe you understand the importance the actors, producers and screenwriters have in a film. Celionite (talk) 09:23, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for your patience, Celionite. I was away from my desk for holiday/vacation. That doesn't change my mind, because a single citation does not equal significant coverage (click on the blue link). Bearian (talk) 17:50, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
