2019
Thank you for your project help last year, including review of the TFA! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:35, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for all your work, and Happy New Year to you.--Wehwalt (talk) 19:06, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you today for Walking Liberty half dollar, "Undoubtedly beautiful, but it caused the Mint a lot of grief for thirty years. This turned out to be one of the articles where an unexpected person runs away with the article, in this case Philadelphia Mint Superintendent Adam M. Joyce, who did not like all the new coins, and they were a terrible pain to produce, but he went to bat to have the new coin struck as close to the artist's conception as possible. I hope you enjoy it. It is a beautiful coin and the "heads" side has graced the American Silver Eagle for the past quarter century. Second nom posted with permission of Ucucha. A special thank you to BrandonBigheart for the beautiful infobox images."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:56, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
Please check out "Happy" once more, for a smile, and sharing (a Nobel Peace Prize), and resolutions. I wanted that for 1 January, but then wasn't sad about having our music pictured instead. Not too late for resolutions, New Year or not. DYK that he probably kept me on Wikipedia, back in 2012? By the line (which brought him to my attention, and earned the first precious in br'erly style) that I added to my editnotice, in fond memory? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:58, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for improving articles! Did you know that Precious began 7 years ago? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:31, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
Thank you today for Hawaii Sesquicentennial half dollar, "one of the most beautiful of the commemorative half dollars and the rarest by design. I suppose by today's standards, the whole thing smacks of political incorrectness, especially the idea of Cook "discovering" an inhabited island. But it's still a nice coin." - I have a peer review open, did you know? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:19, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the Liberty Head double eagle, "... a big coin. Really, in its day, it was more considered a known weight of gold as much as it was spending money, because then, twenty dollars was a fair sum of cash. It was only much later that it really was considered a collectable, and one that we can certainly admire for its beauty."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:00, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
Thank you today for Apollo 15 postal covers incident! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:06, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
James Garfield
Stop vandalizing the new Garfield assassination memorial just because you can't read all of the placard. That photo is what the National Park Service used to highlight the installation. It is meant to get people to visit the site. If people want to know more about the assassination itself that's what the main page of the assassination is for. scooteristi (talk) 14:57, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
- I can't read ANY of the placard, I have no idea what the building is behind it. How is this helpful to the reader?--Wehwalt (talk) 15:16, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
Apollo 15 postal covers incident
I logged onto Wikipedia this morning and saw a familiar article on the front page. Congrats on taking the article from Good Article in October to Featured Article. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 00:34, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks, and thanks for all your help. I think it came out well.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:37, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
+1, huge congrats! ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:44, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'm gratified it has been so well-received. Did you see Gadsden Purchase half dollar?--Wehwalt (talk) 21:52, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
Great work on today's feature
Hey, saw today's featured article. I was curious who wrote it, so I looked at the history - and I've gotta say, your dedication and writing are both exemplary. Congratulations and thank you for writing such a great article on a fascinating topic I had never heard of in the slightest. :) Ganesha811 (talk) 00:46, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
- Much obliged. It was a fair amount of research and digging but I'm pleased with how it turned out.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:56, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
- Came here to say the same; one of the most interesting TFA's I've read in a while. Thanks for doing all that work. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:46, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

The instructions for the review process are here. --K.e.coffman (talk) 03:46, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
Apollo 15 covers article
I'm very surprised you removed the bold title of this article considering that it was in the WP:LEDE structure when it was passed as a featured article. I was going to revert you but I'll leave it up to you and others to decide. Personally I would keep it. ww2censor (talk) 14:41, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
- I've restored it, more or less. This sentence has been an issue for a long time.--Wehwalt (talk) 15:07, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
Speer
- I hope this stays at FA. It is quite heavy going but an interesting topic. Szzuk (talk) 17:18, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
Nickels
Hey there. As you were the one who got the Nickels Featured Topic to where it is, I am letting you know about Washington nickel having been recently created. Unless I'm mistaken this new article will have to be part of the topic in three months. GamerPro64 20:42, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- It is a pattern, not part of the topic.--Wehwalt (talk) 20:56, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- All righty. Just making sure. GamerPro64 21:37, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

On behalf of the Military History Project, I am proud to present the The Content Review Medal of Merit (Military history) for January to March 2019 reviews. Peacemaker67 (talk) via MilHistBot (talk) 00:33, 3 April 2019 (UTC) Keep track of upcoming reviews. Just copy and paste |
Kenesaw Mountain Landis
I restored a very brief blurb on Kenesaw Mountain Landis regarding him receiving his commission, sourced to his Federal Judicial Center biography. This is the act by which he was actually appointed by the President and absolutely needs to be in the article. I will let all the rest go, but this absolutely needs to stay, as it is in all 3,500+ federal judge articles and it is the long consensus of WikiProject United States courts and judges that this information be included. It is a very basic piece of information and reflects the beginning of his judicial term. Thanks. Safiel (talk) 15:35, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
