Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited James Allen Rose, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page American. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ• Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi!
I'm helping to organize two editathons at UNC Sloane Library and was hoping you would want to join us or spread the word. The first is March 25 and our scope will be the immigration system in the US. The second will be on April 1 and the scope will be visual artists of the African Diaspora who have been based in Chapel Hill.
Hope you can make it!
Thanks

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.
