	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

Hello Omnedon! This message is to inform you that due to editing inactivity, your access to AutoWikiBrowser may be temporarily removed. If you do not resume editing within the next week, your username will be removed from the CheckPage. This is purely for routine maintenance and is not indicative of wrongdoing on your part. You may regain access at any time by simply requesting it at WP:PERM/AWB. Thank you! — MusikBot II ^talk 17:10, 10 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

I noticed that back in 2008 you added counties into article title for townships in several states, with edit summary (Included county name for consistency). This was probably before WP:USPLACE was settled, right? I think it suggests (strongly) that the county should not be there unless needed for disambiguation. Do you know whether fixing these to the recommended format has been discussed? Looks like it would be a lot of work, but possibly amenable to automation. Dicklyon (talk) 03:01, 12 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Actually I still feel very strongly, for several reasons, that the county name should in fact be included in township article names. Omnedon (talk) 04:19, 13 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Please say more. What reasons? More than "consistency"? Specific to townships as opposed to other populated places? Dicklyon (talk) 04:26, 13 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

This was all dealt with in great detail years ago. Why bring it up again now? Omnedon (talk) 05:38, 13 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Not to re-start the whole discussion, but one very simple reason for this is that in US states, townships are subdivisions of counties (just as counties are subdivisions of states). It's not just a question of consistency. Omnedon (talk) 05:42, 13 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

I'm bringing it up to find out if it was dealt with; I only know WP:USPLACE. Can you find where else I should be looking maybe? Dicklyon (talk) 05:31, 14 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

I found the conversation at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names)/Archives/2011/August#U.S. township articles and pre-emptive disambiguation versus consistent naming which sounds to me like the consensus was not to include the county. But it's confusing, and perhaps not the last word. Anyway, it's newer that what you did in 2008, so I'm wondering if the issue got settled, so I'll know whether to work on it.

Hello, You created several of the Civil Township pages for the state of Iowa back in the 2007/2008 time frame. I am in the process of trying to add "infobox settlement" information to other townships. I would really like to include something like the SVG maps that you created but it isn't clear to me how to go about that. Would you be willing to share the details? There are 1599 civil townships in Iowa, so clearly an automated map generatio process is needed. Thanks! GrandpaDave (talk) 01:08, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

My apologies for the delay. I used some custom scripts to create those maps, and might be able to do so again... I'll check into it. I do still have the code. It uses freely-available USGS data. Omnedon (talk) 15:57, 29 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
