Hi Rosie! My name is Katie Eberle and I attend Syracuse University in Syracuse, NY. I am part of the US Public Policy Wikipedia Project, in a class called Transnational NGO's in World Affairs.

Hi! Thank you so much for being my ambassador! I've chosen a couple pages that I am interested in editing, and the first is theChad-Cameroon Petroleum Development and Pipeline Project. This article needs many more sources, so I am planning on adding those while also just adding more general information, particularly about Cameroon, since most of the article is about Chad. For my class, I need to focus mainly on Non-Governmental Organizational involvement, and so I was thinking about starting a new section for NGO's, and focusing and developing information about just a few of the large organizations that have been involved with this project. I wrote on the discussion page to let everyone know I hoped to start adding information soon. The second topic is more related to US Public Policy, and so I am hoping to edit theEnergy Task Force page, although there seems to have some controversy on the discussion page concerning different political point of views, and so maybe I shouldn't get involved? Whew, that's a lot of info! thanks again!Katheb246 (talk)23:42, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I wanted an admins opinion on this. I removed the "Satire" section from theKevin Federline page. I've been thinking of doing that for a while, as it seems to be little more than a list of miscellaneous information and not at all encyclopedic. In addition to that, his public reception is handled in other parts of the article.
I keep an eye daily on the KF page because it seems to be prone to vandalism, although that has been less of an issue lately.AlaskaMike (talk)17:25, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I've copied the FA SPanish article toTalk:Barranquilla. I've begun translation. Its a huge article so all help is needed!

Yeah that was the history I initially wrote. That section will have to be merged into the translated stuff somehow!♦Dr. Blofeld19:26, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Oh, split into series of multiple articles of course likeHistory of Barranquilla,Architecture of Barranquilla etc and then condense it, although I kind of like it full, but it is eh a little too full I agree. Although Spanish wiki has an even fuller article on its history which could be translated later. However, I don't want to split just yet. We want to DYK it as full first!♦Dr. Blofeld20:01, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Rosie! I have been editing up a storm on theChad-Cameroon Petroleum Development and Pipeline Project page. right now, for my project, I need to focus more on adding information about NGO's that worked with this project, but so far, I've just done mainly some background info as well as some reformatting. I would love any advice or tips you have, as well as any correction or ways I could reformat to make it flow better! Thank you!!Katheb246 (talk)01:06, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
Hey Rosie,Not sure I am doing this correctly....this is the darndest thing to get a hang of!I responded to the independent reviewer (James) but again, not sure it actually went to him. I told him I have the history books of Tennessee that shows she was the first woman "elected" to the senate in Tennessee. I am 100% sure of this. I have two articles, one is a laminated obituary from the Nashville Banner dated 2-23-1966 and the other is a Tennessean/Nashville Banner article in Jan 1945 with a photo of her in the Senate Chambers proclaiming in the article of her being the first woman elected to the senate in Tennessee. I could take a photo of the pictures and email them but submitting them via this method is simply too confusing.
Would it be possible to email me directly at blashlee@hotmail.com ?

Can you think of a double hook for the Youngs? I can think of the debt, £110,000 was an enormous figure in those times, no small fee today about $200,000 in 1788 you can only image it must have been like $100 million today! .♦Dr. Blofeld21:21, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
I checked and nommed its over 11 million pounds today, about 20 million dollars! You might also find more onPancho Guedes if you have time, very notable architect in Mozambique, there's bio info on his website I think.♦Dr. Blofeld21:44, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
