This article is my homage to the deletionists that didn't seem too concerned about helping someone new to Wikipedia but rather deleting for the sake of deleting multiple times. However, whoever it was that eventually did help me, I give my thanks. --Kurt 01:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tag?

Isn't there supposed to be a tag on the article page to identify it as a featured article? Ifnord 00:29, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See my comment on your talk page. Schutz 00:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Got it. But I'm wondering why the article has no star on the top right corner nor does it appear to be in the featured article category. Ifnord 00:34, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The talk page is in the category, not the article; as for the FA star, I can see it; it may depend on your skin, though. You should maybe have a look at other featured articles to see if it works for you, or change your configuration. Schutz 00:58, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Capitals

Why is "Demand Note" capitalised? Rich Farmbrough 08:47 26 May 2006 (UTC).

Because it is a proper noun --Kurt 09:15, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it is a proper noun. "I have in my hand a demand note." "I have in my hand the Star of India." Rich Farmbrough 09:37 26 May 2006 (UTC).
It isn't. See wiktionary:demand_note and [1]. What a large mistake. —Michiel Sikma, 09:46, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The demand note that Michiel linked to isn't the same one as this artilce refers to. The article is about the Demand Note, a specific type of paper money used my the US, not just a general notice of debt. Chuck(척뉴넘) 10:43, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not quite sure what you meant by that statement, Rich, but I'm assuming it's the matter of two common words becoming a proper noun. E.G., niether "times" nor "square" is a proper noun, but when put together the words describe a specific place, Times Square. In a Demand Note's case, it's a specific, unique object being entitled. --Kurt 11:08, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Se also here. Rich Farmbrough 11:00 26 May 2006 (UTC).

I think that the pictures in this article are ugly. They're edited images of demand notes with text on them. The font that's used is awful, and there are effects on it that I certainly don't agree with. I'd be glad to fix them up a little, but it makes me wonder why an article like this is promoted to featured. Whatever happened to concise and unedited use of images? This is just visual bloat to me. This article also contains no external links. That's not exactly a prerequisite to be a featured article, but I've come to expect featured articles to have lots of tips for further research. —Michiel Sikma, 09:50, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Which pictures are you talking about. The first one? That helps show the different denominations of Demand Notes. The only other one would be the "for the" picture, but that's probably the best way of showing that. All of the other pictures are unedited. As for the external links, you must have missed the reference section, where there is 4 of them. External links don't have to have their own section to be in an article.

Other Demand Notes

Is it worth a mention in the article that demand notes are/have been used elsewhere in the world (e.g. Scotland)? Andy 11:03, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It wouldn't be appropriate in this article because it refers specifically to Demand Notes issued by the U.S. gov't. However, it would be worth mentioning them in their own article. --Kurt 11:30, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
