Hello Mcghiever. My name is Orane (but I go by the name 'Journalist' on Wikipedia) and I am one of Wikipedia's Administrators. I just stopped by to say Hi and to formally welcome you to Wikipedia. Thank you for your awesome contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I know that being here for the first few days may be a bit confusing, but you'll get used to it pretty soon.
Here are a few good links for newcomers. I know that they can be boring, but I recommend that you take a look at them:
- Policies and guidelines
- What Wikipedia is not
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial

You also did a nice job on John Latsch State Park, which was just a little stub before you expanded it. Would you like to join the Minnesota Wikiproject? Jonathunder 16:46, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Coworker too.
You've been busy! You want a little background on the Franz Jevne State Park? I drove there with Franz's son Bob Jevne in 1998, after a visit we made to the Northwest Angle. He was about 80 years old. He was a retired librarian from the University of Minnesota who ate late lunches at St. Martin's Table, not far from Wilson Library, where he volunteered. That is where I met him. Franz Jevne was, if I remember right, the District Attorney of Koochiching County. He donated the land as a state park. Franz had acquired it, if I remember correctly, as payment for services. You may contact Bob Jevne's relatives. He died a couple of years ago. His nephew is a lawyer in Minneapolis, I believe.

[edit] Minnesota State Parks
In my wanderings around Minnesota wiki articles I came across some of yours on state parks, and discovered the breadth and depth of your contributions there. Outstanding work! It would be great to see one of them as a Featured Article. (FAs tend to be gargantuan in size; it would be nice to see one that merely says what it needs to say, and stops-- as do your articles on Minnestoa parks.)
And if you feel so inclined and time permits, you may want to have a look at some of the articles being created or expanded on features in the Arrowhead region. Here are a few: Boundary Waters, Boundary Waters Canoe Area, North Shore (Lake Superior), Superior National Forest, Grand Portage National Monument, Duluth Complex, Sawtooth Mountains, Misquah Hills, Eagle Mountain (Minnesota), Moose Mountain (Minnesota); Palisade Head, Height of Land Portage. Any input or criticism would be appreciated. Kablammo 15:24, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
