 * Wikimail is always welcome!

Some tools to help focus:
 * The perfect article
 * Perfect stub article

My To-Do list:


 * National Football League add notes on history of franchises (see also WikiProject Sports Team Listing)
 * Major League Baseball: add notes on history of franchises (see also WikiProject Sports Team Listing)
 * Baseball/World Series: Add some highlights.  Ditto for Baseball/American League Championship Series, Baseball/National League Championship Series.
 * Space exploration - add some material on unmanned space missions, particularly the Ranger program, Surveyor program and Orbiter program (preparatory to lunar landing)
 * Apollo program - keep fleshing out the missions, the astronauts, the engineers, etc.
 * Des Moines - add brief history of city
 * Fighter aircraft - add to list of WWI-era craft
 * "area rule" (under Aeronautics). Also Skunk Works, which would make a fascinating article.
 * a biography for Richard Whitcomb, aeronautical engineer extraordinaire
 * Fictional guidebook - develop this article further
