University of Houston & Phi Beta Kappa

I think that there are two things competing here. The first, quite reasonably is to have the header paragraph reasonably clean, the second is that an organization like Phi Beta Kappa should be linked from the article in pretty much all cases (outside a reference). My concern here is that it is rare for facts to exist only in the header without that information somehow being in the body of the article. Ideas?Naraht (talk) 15:19, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

UH and the Third Ward

Hi! I found this edit while tinkering with the Third Ward template.

I had the impression UH is often defined as being in the Third Ward according to the press (such as the Houston Chronicle). Since there is no one official definition of the Third Ward (Third Ward, Houston#Boundaries show that there are multiple definitions by different people) I think the criterion on whether UH should be in the template is whether the readers expect it to be there (because the media defines the Third Ward as including it).

I'm leaning towards re-including UH on this template. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:03, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi, RJN! User:Oldsanfelipe approached me wondering if we could restart the Houston WikiProject. It could be a good idea!

Having an in-person edit-a-thon or meetup in August 2018 might help too. I have had some experience at in-person edit-a-thons and meetups in Hong Kong (I live in nearby Shenzhen) and I could help start something in H-Town in the month I'm in America. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:02, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi, you re-combined three NRHP list-articles, for Houston vs. other parts of Harris County, in edits back in 2013. There is new discussion at Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Harris County, Texas towards re-splitting the Harris County list, probably now into four parts. I see you have not recently edited, but if you do see this, please do feel welcome to join that discussion. And I hope you can get back to contributing in Wikipedia in the future, either way.

2019 US Banknote Contest

	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

Speedy deletion nomination of BBA

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on BBA requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, society, or group that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. MB 05:26, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
