Hi, would you consider changing the image to the alternative one for Mount Elbert? I think it looks nicer (although I do have a COI so I won't do anything with the hook myself).

Precious anniversary
Precious
Thank you for brilliant ideas and assistance, for making me think and smile, - repeating: you are an awesome Wikipedian (12 September 2007, 7 March 2009, 22 March 2009, 19 December 2009, 12 August 2010)!

This is how the second award called Precious would have looked in br'erly style. Two awards looking like this had been issued before with different names, many more since. Remember: a year ago I thought I would never hear from you again.

Chippewa Kitchen
The Chippewa Kitchen is a pioneering structure consisting of wooden spars that are lashed together to support a layer of earth or clay. It provides convenience to a range of camp cooking operations:
- a surface for food preparation
- a place to hang tools and utensils
- a framework from which a pot can be suspended over a cooking fire
- a raised platform for cooking over hot coals [1]
This framework can be built in a variety of ways but the objective of any design is the construction of two waist-high parallel crossbars used to support the cooking platform. The most prevalent framework designs are two tripods, two A-frames, or a single “quadrapod.” <a title="By Larrygreen (Own work) [CC-BY-SA-3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons" href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3A3-chippewa-kitchen-styles.jpg"><img width="512" alt="3-chippewa-kitchen-styles" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/3-chippewa-kitchen-styles.jpg"/></a>
In camping terminology, and especially in the Boy Scouts, Chippewa Kitchens are referred to as both a complex “camp gadget,” due to the amount of lashings and degree of Scout engineering required in the building process, and a practical “campsite improvement,” because they get such regular use and provide a large measure of convenience. [2]
is this not a notable topic?

- It probably is but if you look at the edit summary of the person that declined it, it said "no sources or non reliable sources", or words to that effect. You only have one source and it might not pass a reliable source check. I suggest you look for better and more sources. I'm curious how you thought of me in this situation.

Eskimo (film)
Another new article: Eskimo (film). I promised someone it would get done today, and it is done. OK, so it's about Alaska and not Montana. But it does contain wife-swapping! Certainly that's a Montana custom. St. Peter's Mission gets done tonight or tomorrow. I chanced on some neat info and pictures yesterday that enabled me to put it to bed. - Tim1965 (talk) 22:40, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
- Do they speak both English and Inupiat in it or are there two separate versions of the movie? Not clear from the text. Got a ref for the wife swapping? Isn't that a custom everywhere ;-) The Oscar is only in the lead and has no ref. PumpkinSky talk 23:03, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
- It's a sound film. They speak English and Inpuiat (translated by the intertitles into English). I clarified the wife-trading name of the film by putting a cite at the end of that sentence. (Since the same cite is for both sentences in that paragraph, I tried to do double-duty.) The Oscar claim is in the "Critical Reception" section, third sentence: "Conrad A. Nervig won the very first Oscar for Best Film Editing for his work on Eskimo.[9]" - Tim1965 (talk) 21:30, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

- I have reviewed this at DYK and have raised a couple of queries. Warden (talk) 17:12, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
- Can't help but notice that Eskimo is just hanging out there... questions asked and answered, but no movement. *sigh* - Tim1965 (talk) 22:39, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- Me too, PumpkinSky talk 23:05, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- This is part of what frustrates me about DYK. When I reviewed noms and had concerns, I monitored the nom daily to make sure I saw any responses quickly. That meant the nom got approved as soon as the author/nominator replied to me satisfactorily. Nowadays, that concern for others is just not there. One might think, "Oh, people get busy in the real world." True. But it happens so frequently, I don't think that's a viable rationale any more. It's so discouraging. - Tim1965 (talk) 00:19, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- Concern for others is something that's notably absent here at Wikipedia, which might go some way to explaining why the number of serious contributors is now down to just over 3000, and has been in decline for some time now. Malleus Fatuorum 01:15, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- Yep, the peak was early-mid 2007 so that's 6 years of steady decline with no sign of increasing again. We could go on and on about why.PumpkinSky talk 01:23, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- To add to the mix, I don't believe the number of active editors is anything like 3000, as that figure includes administrators doing whatever it is that administrators do. I'd suggest the real number is much closer to 2000. As to the reasons for the decline, that's probably a discussion to be had elsewhere, but one that few seem to have an open enough mind to participate in. Malleus Fatuorum 02:00, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Welcome back! I need to get something to eat (Eastern Time here; I'm late), but I got delayed because someone needed me to clean up after a bigtime vandal. I archive my talk page at the end of every third month, so you just need to wait a week :-) Nyttend (talk) 00:04, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi
I'm not quite sure what your problem is, and I'm not interested. But when people make lists with Support/Oppose it's considered rude to start breaking up the flow by inserting comments into the list. I moved your comment to the Comment section for that very reason. IRWolfie- (talk) 21:18, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what your problem is either. People put them in all the time. I was responding directly to Hero. Again, please leave me and mind edits alone. It's considered quite rude to mess with other peoples edits.PumpkinSky talk 21:20, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

- Yes. As I was fully aware when I initially said you weren't one of the involved parties. A comment which you felt necessary to respond to with an accusation of my blindness, when you evidently misread my statement. You added a comment that has nothing to with the current issue, furthermore you insisted on inserting it very publicly in the discussion in a section where it's not really meant to be in a straw vote. Now you say you don't want to dredge the issues up, but that seems to be precisely what you want to do. IRWolfie- (talk) 21:34, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
- Yep, I did misread your statement. Apologize on that point, but I didn't say I wasn't willing to dredge up old unneeded stuff, I asked if that's what you really want. PumpkinSky talk 21:39, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
- Cheers for that. I'll leave it up to you about what you want to dredge up or not, but I'd ask that you don't do it in the endorse/oppose polls. IRWolfie- (talk) 21:41, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Rest in Peace, Snoopy the Beagle
(Tuesday, February 21, 2002 - Sunday, March 31, 2013) My good friend and buddy, Snoopy the Beagle, is gone. This photo is how I want to remember him. He was very sick and I had the misfortune of watching him pass away at the house. He was a very good dog, brought a lot of happiness into the world--especially for my daughter, and I know he is holding his head high in Doggie Heaven. I'm really sorry you were so sick Snoopy, you deserved better. We did what we could for you. Rest in Peace good buddy. — Puppy of Dog The Teddy Bear • WOOF • 12:34, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

- From the movie My Dog Skip (paraphrased) "My parents said they buried Skip under the elm tree, but that's not really true. He's really buried in my heart." And another thought from a friend: Everything happens for a reason. Never look at death as a bad thing but a step towards the future. We learn and gain so much from those who were once here with us they create laughter, joy and knowledge within us but when its their time they have to move on so that their spirit may grow in us and guide us from a higher source just know that just because you can't see them physically they are always with you in the heart and that is where they will touch you and feel you the most.

I mentioned this to Montanabw the day I put up this new article on March 25. But I don't think anyone put it up as a DYK nom, and now it's April 3 and we are way past the five-day deadline. Oh well. I won't have another Montana article for quite some time, as I've got a lot of very big articles I'm working on at the moment (and which are begging me for attention, like a Pirandello play character). Thanks for nom'ing the other two articles, though. - Tim1965 (talk) 22:50, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Bison on the CMRNWR
So, someone who claims not to know how to edit Wikipedia is inserting claims about free-roaming bison in the article Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge. There are several problems here, including not citing sources, NPOV, and arguing in edit summaries. I'm not entirely sure how to deal with this. I moved the discussion onto the article Talk page, and responded to the person. But the individual has already done an edit-reversion, and I absolutely won't engage in an edit war. But my sense is that this is an individual who has a real agenda to push, and you know how controversial an issue this is in Montana (I doubt it's going anywhere). Advice on how to handle this? I learly want someone else involved because that helps to calm things down and the person won't feel like it's personal with me. (And it's not; what do I care about bison on the refuge? They ain't gonna be free-roaming on the refuge, or Ted Turner's ranch, or in Yellowstone, or in my back yard.) - Tim1965 (talk) 15:06, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
Medal of Honor versus Silver Antelope Award
I saw a host of queries about scouting articles, and I thought of you! In fact, I thought of directing the person here so that they'd copypasta their draft article all over your talk page again, but in a spirit of innovation I have tried a new approach: questions!
- Are recipients of the Silver Antelope Award automatically notable in the same way that recipients of the Medal of Honor are?
- Is the person described in the article draft Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Chippewa Kitchen likely to be notable? (Warning: page is cunningly titled, but without the intention to mislead.)
- Is the article draft at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Chippewa Kitchen anywhere near being ready to be moved to mainspace? If not, what needs doing?
- Do dolphins sleep?
Thanks for your help as always! --Demiurge1000 (talk) 00:53, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
- 1)I'd say no, but it's certainly possible they are wiki notable as people who get the second highest award of a type have usually done other things to make them notable. MOH recipients are auto-wiki notable. I'd say Silver Buffalo Award recipients are wiki notable.
- 2) Yes, but because of all the writing he did and all the refs he's in. Article needs renamed to his name.
- 3) Yes, wikify it, wikilinks, ref fmt, etc and DYK it
- 4) Not sure, probably
- Also, WP:SCOUT is a resource, but you can ask me too. I haven't been an active member there in ages. PumpkinSky talk 01:08, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Re: Helena
Just a reminder — "Registered Historic Place" and its related forms shouldn't be used; we realised several years ago (around the time of WP:RFA/Rlevse, if I remember rightly) that this was a Wikipedia neologism. Nyttend (talk) 02:09, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
- I fixed the Registered Historic Place thing before leaving you this note. Naming convention from WP:NRHP is always to include the city name (see the first section of WP:NRHPMOS), and I've fixed the relevant links at the DYK nom. Note that I've also suggested an alt hook. Nyttend (talk) 02:14, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's standard; see Bridgewater Historic District (Bridgewater, Pennsylvania) or Oxford Historic District (Oxford, Georgia), for examples.

Re: Elkman
Sounds like you're doing precisely like what we normally do — we use name formats like Dr. Adam Mosgrove House and do likewise at the top of the infobox, rather than using "Mosgrove, Dr. Adam, House" for the article title or for the infobox. Note that Elkman's generator will return all possible results for whatever text you put in, even for partial names; if you'd typed simply Feller and told it to search Iowa, you would have gotten this site and no others. Partial names (and name searches in general) are much better for places with less-common names; when you're looking for a place named "City Hall" or "First Presbyterian Church", you'll find it easier to put the reference number in the second bar. Perhaps you've already seen this, but reference numbers (although hidden) are always in the code for the county lists; edit the page and scroll down to the entry for the site you want, and you'll see its reference number in the "refnum" parameter of the {{NRHP row}} template. Nyttend (talk) 02:24, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
- Ah cool. Tks PumpkinSky talk 02:25, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
- Regarding Robert William Andrew Feller Farmstead: I modified the intro to add space between links and edited the infobox to reduce redundancy (I don't think we need to mention Van Meter in two straight lines, and the top of the infobox says US NRHP already, so we don't need to mention the country in the infobox), but besides that I only have three comments/questions. (1) Was Mrs Kellar's name "Janiece"? It's just that I've never seen the spelling before, so I wondered if it were a mistake when she was named or a mistake just now. (2) Is the baseball relevant enough to the farm itself that it belongs in the article's infobox? NR infoboxes generally have photos of the sites or no photo at all, not something tangentially related to someone who lived at the site in question. Note that I won't remove it, since it's not something thoroughly irrelevant. (3) Could you add page numbers to the nomination form citations? As far as I can see, none of the appearances of citation #5 has a page number (even something like {{rp}}), so unless it's a really minimal form like this one (Ginn's Furniture Store), it really needs to have page numbers added. Nyttend (talk) 03:29, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
- That spelling is what is in the form. 2) I can't find a free photo of the farm and I try hard to avoid fair use ones, and I like the baseball, maybe we could move it to the body 3) I've never put page numbers in the nom form refs before. what brought it up this time?

- 1) No complaints then; I just wanted to ensure that this was what the form said. 2) I just wonder if no photo might be better than one that's not at all related to the farm itself. 3) Apparently I've looked more at this one than at others you've written; I would have said the same about others. It's just that these nominations have enough information that we can't treat them as a large unpaginated document; it's enough work to find information on one page, and requiring any cite-checkers to check multiple pages for everything seems a bit too much work.

- I meant "United States Republican", but that's fixed. Dunno what the census has to do with water power, but back in the day the Census conducted all sorts of studies because other agencies lacked the capacity. And there is no Montana connection; but you wanted to know all the new articles I've been working on.

Greetings, PumpkinSky:
I reviewed this DYK nomination and rejected it, since the article wasn't new and the recent expansion wasn't five-fold. User:TreyGeek claims on his talk page that "the criteria for new articles states that an article which was moved from user space to main space (as this article was) is considered to be new once it reaches main space." That is not my interpretation of the "rule". You are certainly more experienced and knowledgable than I; would you provide an opinion, please? Mgrē@sŏn 17:48, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
- TG is correct. See Wikipedia:Did_you_know#Eligibility_criteria rule 1d " Articles that have been worked on exclusively in a user or user talk subpage or at articles for creation and then moved (or in some cases pasted) to the article mainspace are considered new as of the date they reach the mainspace." I do this all the time, work on them in a user subpage and move them to main space. It was moved on 23 Apr so is eligible but it has a merge tag and that needs to be dealt with before approval, and other items looked at. PumpkinSky talk 21:43, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Resource access
Do you, by any chance, have access to academic journals related to Montana, either print or digital? I'm not asking because I need help but because I wanted to spread the wealth. I've found numerous Montana-related articles in the Plains Anthropologist through JSTOR; if you have any way to access this journal, you may well find it useful.

I'm not sure why people are avoiding this nomination like the plague, but IMHO the only thing which it is waiting for is someone who picks a hook. Seeing as you got involved with this nomination before (though merely in a mediating role), could you please take a second look at it and approve one of the hooks? If you happen to identify any additional issues and list them, then of course that's fine too. Thanks in advance! —♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 20:37, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Oh, before I forget to mention it, one of the discussions says the script doesn't work with Internet Explorer (8?), so if you're using that, that could be the issue. I think on this one the WMF will have to bend, so if none of this works it may not matter in the long run. Good to chat, anyway, I used to see you around the Scout stuff a bit when I was helping Chris with some images way back when - think you gave me some sort of shiny Star or something.

Re: Birmingham crisis DYK
Hey PumpkinSky, hope you're doing well. I see you've promoted the Birmingham crisis DYK into prep 2. That's cool, and I don't mean to be too nitpicky, but I am kind of into this rolling 50 year anniversary thing... and we missed the opportunity to run the original hook on 11 May.
If you look at the template, you'll see that I wrote an Alt1 to run on 18 May, relating to a different part of the "Birmingham crisis". I think this is the hook that reviewer Simon Burchell meant to approve, since they modified the text of it slightly to improve the link to Birmingham.
So, if you would be so kind as to demote the current hook... and place Alt1 into holding for 18 May (2013)... I would really appreciate it! Happy (rolling) 50th anniversary of (this particular part of the) US Civil Rights Movement!
