2019 US Banknote Contest

	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

Ref errors in Southern Tang

Thank you for your work expanding the article! However, there are numerous issues with the short references. I fixed a couple, but can you help with others? You can highlight the errors by copy and pasting importScript('User:Svick/HarvErrors.js'); // Backlink: [[User:Svick/HarvErrors.js]] to your common.js page.

• "Kurz 2016a" and "Kurz 2016b" -> the a and b should also be added to the year in the full cite in the bibliography section. Right now, it is unclear which work is cited where.
• "Kurz 2011" can refer to either of two works by this author: China's Southern Tang Dynasty (937-976) or Han Xizai (902–970): An Eccentric Life in Exciting Times. Can you add "a" and "b" to the years to differentiate (both in short citations and in the full citation)?
• There was no work listed under "Chao-Yin 2018" but I assumed it is the same as "Cho-ying 2018". Please correct if that's wrong.
• There is no work listed for "Kote 1999"
• There is no work listed for "Ling, vol. 20."

Same errors carried to Southern Tang campaign against Chu -- "Kurz 2016a" and "Kote 1999".

Bernhard Eduardovich Petri

Hi Voltaire's Vaquero. You've added "Petri 1927" and "'Petri 1928" to Bernhard Eduardovich Petri, which don't link to any specific cite. The article contains cites for Petri 1927a to 1927c and Petri 1928a to 1928f, so I'm unable to fix the issue. Could you correct it or let me know which cite it should be. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 17:14, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

My apologies, it appears I didn't add the correct citations to the bibliography. Thanks for the catch! Voltaire's Vaquero (talk) 18:18, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I see you've contributed a lot to Yakut shamanism, would you be interested in a taskforce on oral tradition? Kowal2701 (talk) 09:57, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Sure thing! Sorry for the delayed response. I will have some time to expand out articles related to the Sakha peoples over these upcoming winter months. While I am able to access materials in Russian on the Sakha, it'd help to have a fluent Russian speaker (Sakha, too, obviously!) to make sense of the sometimes jumbled translations I get. Cheers!
