Dear Dan,
Excuse me for answering you with such a delay! Of course you may use that Yarmouth postcard picture for the Dominion Atlantic Railway Digital preservation Institute. I am happy this old postcard, sent so many decades ago to my long deceased father-in-law, can have this historic value.
Best wishes,

Are you also Letterofmarque?
Hello. Judging by the near-identical user pages and editing history, it looks like you may also be editing under the name User:Letterofmarque. Is this so? If so, you might want to identify that, using the template found at WP:MULTIPLE. If not, please disregard. happy editing, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:43, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Thank you for your recent articles, including Warsaw Fotoplastikon, which I read with interest.

WikiJournal of the Humanities
Hi Dan Conlin
I'm the editor-in-chief of the WikiJournal of the Humanities.
Given your experience with Wikipedia and understanding of academia, I'm emailing to ask whether you might be interested in getting involved as an editor for the [https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/38zEC81V0PTOY3PpLSn3INF?domain=en.wikiversity.org WikiJournal of Humanities]. It's modelled on the successful Wikipedia-integrated journals, the WikiJournal of Medicine, and the WikiJournal of Science. Our editorial board covers a range of fields and expertise, aiming to cover disciplines across the humanities, arts, and social sciences.
Our approach combines the rigour of academic peer review with the extensive reach of an encyclopedia. Consequently, it is an excellent way to achieve public engagement and outreach while impacting public understanding of complex scholarly topics. Articles undergo peer review and are subsequently published in both standard academic PDF format and directly onto Wikipedia, often getting over 100,000 views annually. This enhances the encyclopedia's scientific and factual accuracy and offers academics citable, indexed publications. Moreover, it enables significantly broader dissemination compared to traditional scholarly publishing methods.
The time commitment is flexible. An editor would generally dedicate 2-10 hours per month to a range of activities.
Please let me know if this aligns with your interests, or if you'd like to know more.
Your experience and expertise would be highly appreciated. Fransplace... Let's talk 23:23, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

WikiProject Nova Scotia
Hi there, Dan Conlin. I saw your name on the "former members" list at WikiProject Nova Scotia and I noticed you were editing recently, so I just wanted to reach out and let you know I've started maintaining the WikiProject again over the past couple months and I'm hoping to spur some renewed collaboration on Nova Scotia-related topics. Please feel free to edit the WikiProject pages however you see fit, and let me know if you have any thoughts. Cheers, MediaKyle (talk) 00:33, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
