The article Benjamin Pierce (1841–1853) has been vandalized three times today. I have reverted, but am requesting admin action against the AnonIP. Boneyard90 (talk) 15:26, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You'll probably be better off taking it to ANI or finding a freindly admin thats active at the moment. This project is pretty dead these days so I doubt anyone is going to take much action quick enough. Kumioko (talk) 16:11, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have requested temporary semi-protection for the article in question. Hope it helps.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:15, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Our local Wayne County (Utah) Historical Society group meets once per week. A local historian provides a lecture related to theme, then we share our knowledge and resources related to the topic. For 2013, we've decided to specifically cross-check our activities with Wikipedia and identify areas of need. I'm guessing many of these will be edits to existing pages focusing on the American West and specifically southern Utah. I created a page on Almon Harris Thompson, a member of the John Wesley Powell expeditions to kick off the project.

If anyone is already specializing in this area of American West history, I'd like to make a connection and find out if there are already some areas of need.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It's great to see an organization becoming interested in adding positively to the project. May I suggest that your group also look towards Wikipedia:GLAM and Wikipedia:WikiProject Utah for additional assistance. If there is anything we can assist your group with, there are many active editors who watch this talk page, who maybe able to offer advise.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 11:19, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
