[edit] Greetings

Hello Ben. You know, i know who you are (from cub scouts long ago), although i dont know if you know me. I am from the class of 2004, but you probably know my brother who graduated in your class. Anyways, yes, as you can tell, i have taken the liberty to start and write articles for Edina. I guess you could call it the Edina WikiProject, although there is nothing offical. The format that i like to use is pretty much similar to all the articles i have started or edited, so feel free to take a look if you are new here. It will be nice to have someone helping me out, seeing as i am also a student. Pictures: As you can see from my babel box, i go to school out in Seattle, WA, so i dont have the opportunity to take pictues. I guess if you have the chance, here are pictures that i would like for various articles (although we may want to wait until summer):

One of the Edina High School (although we may just want to wait, b/c i dont want the main picture in the article to have all that construction in it. Although, we might want a good one with the construction in it to emphasize that point in the article)
One of the Old Cahill School house (next to the city hall and perkins)
One of the Edina City Hall
One of the Edinbourough Complex (outside) and one inside shot
One of the main Centennial building, as well as one of the grounds
Outdoor shot of braemar ice rink
Outdoor shot of Jerry's Foods
Outdoor and Indoor shot of a Byerlys store
Outdoor shot of downtown 50th and France

Those are just what i need right now. Please be advised that i may want to replace any later with some that i take (I am quite picky about what i want to convey in my articles), but just getting some in the articles would be great. Also, i totally agree about the Carl Pohlad issue. I had been debating the issue with Pfalstad for quite some time until i gave it up because i could not produce a hard lined source. Any help with that would be great.

Also, if you can come up with a list of things you would like to create articles for (for lets call it, the Edina Project) and put them on your user page, i could compare and throw my two cents in. For i while, i wanted to write articles about such things as Braemar Golf Course, The Edina Art Center, The Edina Pool, etc., but eventually just outside linked them to their respective websites because of time and low priority. But if you are looking for things to write, those would definitally be a start. Just make sure to change them to wikilinks on the Edina page and anywhere else they might be.

Alright, well i know i have written a lot, but i guess i had a lot to say. Good to have you on board, and let me know if you have any questions about formatting or wikipedia. Thanks!--Gephart 05:42, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey, if you want to mabye finish the Centennial Lakes Park article that would be great. I just started a general article, but I definitally think there is room for expansion. --Gephart 18:04, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Stagecraft

I noticed the patch bay image you contributed to the Dimmer article. I would like to invite you to WikiProject Stagecraft, a group of Wikipedian's who are working on improving stagecraft/technical theatre related articles. -JWGreen 23:36, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Loudspeaker peer review request

I've requested the article Loudspeaker to have peer review. I noticed it was pretty good and might deserve a GA status. If you can take a look at it too and help evaluate and improve it's quality, that would be great. The peer review tag can be found on the article's talk page. --Davidkazuhiro 10:26, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
