Flags and Seals
I merged Seal of Virginia into Flag of Virginia to make the new Seal of Virginia. I also merged Flag of New Jersey into Seal of New Jersey to make the new Coat of arms of New Jersey.
In both cases the Flag was just the Seal/CoA on a solid-color background. In both articles the vast majority of content was within the scope one article was within the scope of the other (with the exception of the "Reverse" section of the Seal of Virginia article). The dived effort severely deteriorated the quality of both Jersey articles and the Virginia flag article, and left them stubs. The new articles are far more complete. I just noticed that allot of other US flag/Seal articles seem to have the same problem, so I guess Virginia and New Jersey can serve as test cases. In slimmer cases to the Virginia and New Jersey, should we merge the articles, and if not how should we handle this problem of overlap and dived efforts across two articles?
Please respond at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology#US Flags and Seals. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 23:35, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

TAFI
Hello, |
Recommendation for large scale renaming
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was procedural close as wrong venue. See WP:CFD for renaming of categories. --19:38, 29 January 2013 (UTC) (non-admin closure)
- Category:Alabama state parks → Category:State parks of Alabama
- Category:Alaska state parks → Category:State parks of Alaska
- etc → ?
– the subcats and articles in Category:State parks in the United States should all be renamed to the form [State parks] of [State]. This is to ensure consistency with the vast majority of articles per WP:NAMINGCRITERIA. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 23:50, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

D.C. Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon??
The Historical Society of Washington, D.C., has announced a Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon for March 23, 2013.
Oh really? 'Cause as a member of WikiProject District of Columbia, I've heard nothing. The Edit-a-Thon is being hosted by the Historical Society of Washington, D.C.; the Washingtoniana and Black Studies Divisions of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Public Library; and George Washington University. The event includes a private, behind-the-scenes tour with the Director of the Kiplinger Resarch Library at HSDC, a tour of the HSDC exhibit Window to Washington: The Kiplinger Collection at HSW, lunch, and the edit-a-thon itself. Location is the HSDC headquarters in the Carnegie Library building, 801 K Street NW (K Street entrance).
So far, I see no announcement on the WikiProject District of Columbia talk page, and there's been no BOT announcement to project member pages, either. This is a HUGE event, because the HSDC and its Kiplinger Research Library (with archives newly opened to the public!) contain vast quantities of non-copyrighted images, and a wealth of sources about D.C. history. Understanding how to access the archives, how to use them, and the sometimes difficult-to-navigate copyright issues around photographs and other images is critical to anyone interested in helping to work on WikiProject District of Columbia.
Is there some way the WikiProject United States can get the word out? It has about past Edit-a-Thons. (BTW, I heard because HSDC sent me an email, as I'm a member.) - Tim1965 (talk) 00:00, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
- Tim, you might want to look into MediaWiki_talk:Watchlist-details for having this posted on the watch lists of editors in that general area. I've noticed my watch list displays Edit a Thons for my area. I've always wondered how they know, because I don't say where I am. But they sure do know, and can probably post this for you. — Maile (talk) 00:31, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
-
- Never mind, Tim. I see Wikipedia:Geonotice already has this set up as approved. And it seems there is another one Feb 15 at the Smithsonian. — Maile (talk) 00:39, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

WWI aviator images
Several WWI aviator images are up for deletion at Wikipedia:Possibly_unfree_files/2013_January_31 -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 05:55, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
I'm posting this here in hopes this project has enough members to keep a long-term eye on Davy Crockett. I'm not sure at this point it would qualify for semi-protection, but I sure wish it did. I've recently done a number of edits on the article, and it could stand to be improved even more. But what struck me about the article is how much total junk was in the article, sitting there for years unchallenged, a large chunk of which has been dropped in years ago by an IP editor. The article has been in bad shape for a long time. Some of it has appeared to me to be deliberate hanky-panky. And some of it looks to be good faith edits by persons with limited knowledge of the subject matter. The legend aside, this man was a United States Congressman. It needs watchful eyes to make sure it doesn't disintegrate again. And in an ideal world, such a public figure would merit some dignity in a Wikipedia article. I think it might take some re-working to raise it up to the level of FA or GA, but I'm always hopeful. — Maile (talk) 16:18, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
American nationality and ethnicity?
I have been involved in a nice conversation at Talk:Americans#nationality and ethnicity?. Would love to get a few others opinions of the topic as its hard to come to a conclusion with just 2 of us. Basically we are talking about the lead statement "Americans do not equate their nationality with ethnicity, but with citizenship". Moxy (talk) 18:09, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, this falls under WP:CANVASS, what this was not was not transparant. A notice at the linked discussion should have occured prior to the posting of this request for additional opinions. Therefore this can be seen as falling under stealth canvassing.
- Having followed WP:CANVASS#Appropriate notication myself numerous times, Template:Please see is suggested to be used.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:13, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
- Not sure what your problem is there no canvasing (one notification that does not take a side) and note on talk page - just informs the main project of a problem - do you not want more involved? Do you not think more involved would help move us forward. Pls take the time to read the links (in full) you provided before assuming bad faith on an editor with a clean record and much more experience then yourself. We are just talking and more need to get involved do you not agree? Are you trying to deter more from getting involved by diverting the topic of this post (see how bad faith works). Moxy (talk) 03:08, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- I am not assuming bad faith, I am sure that Moxy has the best interest of the article in mind, as I hope Moxy believes so do I, even if we both disagree. However, per CANVASS part of it is that it is suppose to be open. Prior to engaging in appropriate notification, one must be open that one is doing so, thus why I stated that it would have been appropriate to make a notification in the discussion that canvassing for additional opinions will occur.
- By not doing so, it was not transparent, and thus is not appropriate.
- Furthermore, the proper course, would be to leave a neutral message, at each of the respective wikiprojects involved in the article, as not to appear to be favoring one wikiproject over another. Additionally, the reason why the please see template is suggested is that, as can be seen above, it only leaves a new section, and a link to the discussion. Those who choose to follow the wikilink can gain an understanding of the discussion by reading what others have previously posted.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 06:00, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- Your interpretation of what is appropriate and open is bewildering to me. If anyone here actually is interested in the topic raised by this post over this bureaucratic public scolding in am receiving pls join us at Talk:Americans#nationality and ethnicity?. Last post in this section for me. Moxy (talk) 06:52, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Moxy (talk) 03:08, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
I don't see the canvasing issue. Moxy posted a neutral comment inviting others to join in. GregJackP Boomer! 16:45, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
Agreed - one of the purpose of WikiProject talk pages is to serve as a noticeboard for precisely that kind of notice. – Philosopher Let us reason together. 10:11, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
- I never said that this choice of WikiProject talk pages was inappropriate, or that the posting was in appropriate; I stated that the process was what was inappropriate. That a notice on the discussion page should have occurred first, for transparency for those who were already involved in the discussion. If I had not already been monitoring this talk page (which I do as a member of WPAA), I would have never known of this notice.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 14:33, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
- The notice is to tell people of the discussion, not vice versa. If you already knew of the discussion, there's no reason for you to need to know of the notice. – Philosopher Let us reason together. 15:08, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
- Transparency.
- Others have been accussed of inappropriate canvassing, at other projects (such as WikiProject Conservatism) for not posting a notice prior to making appropriate notification canvassing.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 18:24, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Peer review for Audie Murphy
I have requested Audie Murphy Peer Review with the eventual goal of nominating the article for FA. — Maile (talk) 21:21, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
- I would like to request input from military interested editors who are experienced enough at WP to help improve the article. If you click the above link, you will find the peer review by MarcusBritish has specified areas in which the military aspect of Audie Murphy's career can be enlarged and wikified. Medal of Honor experts would be helpful. Please assist if you are able. — Maile (talk) 15:30, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
