Welcome to my world.

I was spawned in the Delaware River Valley: my father hailed from Clementon, New Jersey on the south, and my mother from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania on the north. They met and married when Dad attended Lehigh University. Dad split the difference and got his first job at Gulf Oil in Philadelphia, so I was born there. But that only lasted two years, and I was reared in Lebanon, Pennsylvania which I consider home. I've only been back there once since 1966. Nowadays the closest I get is eating a Lebanon bologna sandwich, sauerkraut, or scrapple.

I was schooled in the Syracuse, New York region until 1976.

 * Space tug
 * Vostok 3 and 4 -- Merged the two articles; it was inherently a dual mission; Vostok 4 wasn't independently notable by itself, and the article reflected that by being very short and undeveloped relative to Vostok 3.

Politics

Hints
Reusable short footnotes in Harvard format:

Warning: do not nest the sfn or sfnp templates inside

This works because the biblio refererence automatically generates an anchor named #Last; the pipe conceals this and makes the name "Last" print as expected. The citation appears as a wikilink which will take the reader to the biblio reference.

Title case capitalization
The definitive rules for WP style are found in MOS:TITLECAPS:

Always capitalized: When using title case, the following words be capitalized:
 * The first and last word of the title
 * Every adjective, adverb, noun, pronoun, and subordinating conjunction (Me, It, His, If, etc.)
 * Every verb, including forms of to be (Be, Am, Is, Are, Was, Were, Been)
 * Prepositions that contain five letters or more (During, Through, About, Until, Below, Under, etc.) – the "five-letter rule"
 * Words that have the same form as prepositions, but are not being used specifically as prepositions
 * Particles of phrasal verbs(e.g. Give Up the Ghost, "Puttin' On the Ritz")
 * The first word in a compound preposition (e.g. Time Out of Mind)

Not capitalized: For title case, the words that are capitalized on Wikipedia (unless they are the first or last word of a title) are: Other styles exist with regard to prepositions, including three- or even two-letter rules in news and entertainment journalism, and capitalization of no prepositions at all at many academic publishers. These styles are not used on Wikipedia, including for titles of pop-culture or academic works.
 * Indefinite and definite articles (a, an, the)
 * Short coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, nor; also for, yet, so when used as conjunctions)
 * Prepositions containing four letters or fewer (as, in, of, on, to, for, from, into, like, over, with, upon, etc.); but see above for instances where these words are not used as prepositions
 * The word to in infinitives.
