[edit] Welcome!
Hi Prez2016, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!
- Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Wikipedia.
- Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images.
- How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status.
- Manual of Style, how articles should be written.
Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

[edit] Lt. Governors
Thanks for your work with lt. governors, but there is already a category for state lt. governors, Category:State lieutenant governors of the United States. --tomf688{talk} 01:11, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] NJ Cabinet members
It's a brand new category, but [[Category:State cabinet secretaries in the United States]] seems way too broad if it only has NJ cabinet members. I'd suggest creating [[Category:State cabinet secretaries in New Jersey]] and making it a subcategory of [[Category:State cabinet secretaries in the United States]]. Then all of the NJ cabinet members would be in a logical group, even when subcategories are created and populated for the other 49 states. Alansohn 01:28, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
- There are more than 20 members listed on Richard Codey's page and that's probably typical nationwide. Do the math, and 20 members times 50 states equals 1,000 people in the category, and every 2% has nothing to do with the other 98% and a list that's impossible to manage or use. With state-level cats you'd have a nice neat group of 20 or so members, plus people who served in the past and it's managable. I'm happy to help if you need it.
- I fixed both the Union County page and the template. It's been a rough time with all of the NJ governmental changes at virtually every level. Alansohn 01:43, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Talk:Charlie Crist
Please see my comments regarding your recent edit to this page. Can you provide a source which suggests Crist was at one point an educator? Or can you justify adding the category based on his tenure as Commissioner of Education? I'd be interested to hear your line of thinking on this. See you there. Thanks.

- I replied to your response several days ago. Please see the talk page. ALC Washington 23:34, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New Jersey edits and WP:NJ
I want to thank you for all of your work on New Jersey-related pages. I would like to invite you to participate in Wikiproject New Jersey, a very loosely organized group of nearly two dozen people who are working on filling in and expanding the details on Wikipedia of all things New Jersey. Membership has no obligations (and even fewer priveleges), but if there is anything about New Jersey that you would like to work on (and you'be already proven a strong interest), i think you will find a number of like-minded people.

[edit] Robert Caro
Just wanted you to know that I corrected your alumni category from Columbia to Princeton. I don't normally let people know this, but it was right there in the article that he graduated from Princeton in 1957 and it didn't look good (where did you get that info, anyway?). Daniel Case 04:58, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
OK. I'll put that in the article then (a lot of people forget this, but categories should reflect article content). Daniel Case 03:50, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] NJ Collaboration of the Week
Thanks for participating in Wikiproject New Jersey. In an attempt to create articles for some of the non-existing pages related to New Jersey, NJCOTW was recently created to bring members of WP:NJ together to work collaboratively on a certain selected topic, which this week is List of Governors of New Jersey. Please help by nominating/voting/commenting on articles on WP:NJCOTW, or by helping to improve articles in the scope of the topic for the NJCOTW. AndyZ 00:51, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] edit summaries
Hey, could I ask you to use edit summaries when putting lots of articles in categories? It just saves a lot of people time double-checking. — Laura Scudder ☎ 00:55, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] State treasurers
William Donald Schaefer is not the Treasurer of Maryland, he is the Comptroller of Maryland. The Comptroller is the chief financial position in the state, though, which I assume is the goal of your template. You may want to reconsider changing the name of the template to something more ambiguous, such as Template:U.S. state chief financial officers or something similar but shorter. --tomf688{talk} 03:06, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
==Please Use Edit Summaries==
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

[edit] Category:County Government Officials in the U.S.
Hi, you might want to hold off before you get too far along in adding Category:County Government Officials in the U.S. to a whole lot of articles. It seems a rather unwieldy and poorly defined category. older ≠ wiser 02:05, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jane Hadley Barkley
An anonymous user has added a succession box to the Jane Hadley Barkley article you created, however they did it incorrectly. Since I don't know how to fix this problem, I have tagged the article for cleanup and explained the situation on the article's Talk page. --TommyBoy 05:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Nevermind, another user has fixed the problem. --TommyBoy 01:08, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
