Thanks for feedback
Thanks for your feedback on my article. As mentioned on the talk page, I'm at a loss for a good first paragraph. Any suggestions or help you can provide would be appreciated. Acdixon 17:55, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank You!
I even enjoy contacting the families to get more information. That's how I got the middle name of Charles Albert Levine. Once you have it, its easy to confirm with a Google search, but coming up with it is very hard. Tracking down the family is not easy, but fun --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 02:05, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

More thanks
Thanks for cleaning up the personal attack on my user talk page, and on the talk page of the biography article about me. I probably would have left those, if only because I shouldn't be the one to remove them... but they're certainly silly digresssions. I can't quite fathom why the editor put them there; I've gotten similar stuff before, both places, but always with editors I had editing conflicts with on other topics... this one has a short editing history, essentially falling entirely during the last few weeks when I've been far too busy to actively edit Wikipedia on any topic.

Could you look at this diff please? (I've also asked Admin:Luna Santin to look at it.) —12.72.72.229 16:22, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Congressman Dan Burton
I needed some help on the Dan Burton page. According to his congressional biography and Indiana Ballot his proper name is Danny Burton. I find no evidence that his name is Daniel. He was actually born Danny Lee Burton from all sources. I am pretty new on wikipedia. Am I editing the page wrong or am I not following the proper channels? Thanks for any help Harmon1630

B-24
on wikipedia page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-24_Liberator#Specifications_.28B-24J.29

The cruising speed o the B-24J is listed as 215 mph. Rlboone1917 19:59, 10 November 2006 (UTC)Although this is true it is a reference to the true air speed rather than the airspeed indicator.

I realize that on another page the difference of altitude and outside temperature  explains this, but it is my opinion that it should be made clear on the above page that this aircraft generally cruised at 150-160 mph by airspeed indicator. Not to do so is, I believe,is a method of “spinning” the facts.

Most people will not know the difference or be able to find it and will think that WOW, this aircraft was fast..

The B-24 may not have been as pretty, or as easy to fly as the B-17, but it was a fine plane for our Operation Carpetbagger

Maker's Mark
I made those edits because whisky/whiskey was used inconsistently throughout the article. I figured, given that "whiskey" is the more common American spelling, and we are dealing with an American liquor, whiskey would be more appropriate to switch the whiskys to whiskey. Nevertheless, all references to should probably be changed to "bourbon" as it is the variety at issue in the article. &quot;Country&quot; Bushrod Washington 04:39, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

help request: infobox television revision
Hi. I am having a doozy of a time entering theme music composer to the television infobox. I tried to add it on the syntax section of template:infobox television and my edit did not result in the addition of theme music composer. Any tips? Thanks. Dogru144 14:25, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Enola Gay
Hi Rogerd! Oh please, please stop reverting the Enola Gay song entry. It isn't a supposed hit single but a genuine one. Quoting from Wikipedia: "a single is usually considered to be a hit when it has reached the top forty position in Billboard Magazine’s Hot 100 or the UK Singles Chart". This OMD song reached number 8 in the UK Singles Chart. It's still receives some airtime and is popular in clubs throughout Europe. I know that the bomber is considerably more popular but at least let Wikipedia acknowledge the existence of the song. Thanks! Lathrop1885 12:32, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

re: Peter Roskam
I suppose that my edit summary should be more descriptive. However, if you review the article history and talk page, you will see that an indefinitely blocked user, User:Joehazelton, has been making the same edit as the one whch I reverted on an almost daily basis for months. He now uses an anonymized IP address to avoid the block. When the artiocle is soft-protected, he creates a user ID in order to make the same edits to the article. In my view, the editor that I reverted is clearly Joehazelton avoiding his block. &mdash; goethean &#2384; 15:38, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

on User talk:Astanhope
Hey, I'm not condoning Astanhope adding unsourced information to the article, but I really think the blatantvandal template is a bit of an overreaction. Astanhope really does seem to be trying to contribute productively to Gerald Ford and that type of warning never really does much. I just figured I'd say. alphachimp. 06:51, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * ok, so I checked again and it looks like he was only adding that information. That said, I still think it might have been a bit of an overreaction. Just saying. Keep up the good work. alphachimp.  06:53, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * hmm. I didn't consider that it had anything to do with the image vandalism. I think he started adding the information a little before the shock images (I started seeing them around 0115 EST). Anyway, it really doesn't seem important enough to have an argument about it. I understand your reasoning. I just figured I'd register my disagreement with using one of our strongest warnings. Have a great night, alphachimp.  07:06, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Charles Durning
First of all, I reverted your edits to Charles Durning, as that information is certanally verifiable, if you have any information controdicting my theory, please put it onto my talk page. Thanks, and happy editing! Kaspazes talk


 * I have done a considerable amount of reasearch research on him, and it seems to me that all of that information is certainly verifiable. The World Book Encyclopedia states the same thing, and the article paraphrases it. Unless you can show any evidence against what is stated on the page, the edit will stand. Thanks! Kaspazes talk 12:47, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I have proctured my evidence, look up Durning, Charles in the World Book Encyclopedia and a full doctrine is availible. Hence, the edit stands, as the Encyclopedia is certainly a verifiable source. Also, consider using the template. Kaspazes talk 14:44, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Gerald Ford: Athletics
Nearly 90% of that section is devoted to Ford's history in football, both in high school and college, with some mention of boxing. If you summed the section up in one sentence, it would be Ford was especially gifted in sports, particullary football. That's why it is titles Athletics. College was too vague, and anyway it was titled Football by me before you changed it. So, Athletics is a compromise between the two.

Concerning your info on Yellowstone, it has no bearing in that section. How do you go from talking about Ford playing football to a tidbit on him at Yellowstone? That's more of a "did you know" bit of info, which isn't encyclopedic. If there was a section of Ford's outside interests, other than sports, it might fit. But remember, this article already gained "featured status". So any additional sections would more than likely be unneccessary. Veracious Rey  talk  ↔  contribs  21:09, 1 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I didn't mean to imply you can't add ever add a new section to a FA article. But the yellowstone info didn't fit where it was, and I didn't see anyother area for a good placement. I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic about the freemasonry section, but I'll take a look at it and see how it reads.

Photograph of B-36
Contrary to what you may think, the photograph provided by the United States Air Force is a better and higher quality photograph than the one that you took yourself. I won't stop you from trying to add it back but please consider that your camera and photograph is inferior to the one provided by the USAF. --Signaleer 18:13, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Please read the section that I posted above, this discussion is moot. --Signaleer 19:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

The minor edit duel that you and Signaleer have going on in Convair B-36 should have been resolved by the consensus on the talk page. Instead of continually reverting eachother, I would suggest trying to resolve your dispute --Patrick Berry 20:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Roger, don't worry about it. Signaleer has shown that he does not want to engage in useful discussion, or in this case, even useful editing. I will quit bothering you guys about it and simply revert his changes if needed. Patrick Berry 15:31, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Rogerd, I sent you several emails. I can't say which image is better for the B-36 article, but maybe it is a waste of time to edit war over it with him. Maybe post both images on the talk page, do a side by side and have folks "vote" on it.

Jay Mariotti
how is it considered vandalism if its true? jay marriotti really had a angioplastygo to his mocking webbsite and even they he had one recently dont tell we its vandilism when its not. i demand you erase my warning immediately User:Brent schneider 22:34 january 8th 2007 http://www.jaythejoke.com/index.php/site/in_which_we_wish_jay_well/
 * Your addition the the article was poorly spelled, not referenced, had bad grammar and was placed in an inappropriate section of the article. --rogerd 04:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * You "demand you erase my warning immediately", yet you do this? --rogerd 00:27, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

uh the edit before mine was yours correcting my edit of a question mark after the comment is he a douche? if you wanted to remove it you could have but you didn't. all i did was remove it from hypocrite and made it its own section. 16:04 10 january 2007 brentschneider

Hi Rogerd. I noticed that you had helped with the Jay Mariotti article and I was wondering if you could take a moment and look at the Skip Bayless article. I don't know what to do, or even if what I am doing is the right thing, but there are some who continue to add criticism that I'm not sure should be allowed.

Cleanup: US Junior Chamber
Thank you for the detailed work you did on this article; I had worried about it turning into an ad and a copylift from the National website. When I stumbled on the article, it contained very little. At that, I initiated the presence of the Creed, and started the Honors listing (using intentional brevity, so that someone else could expound as appropriate). I still wonder if a list of presidents should better be in a separate article. The icing on the cake for me personally is that three days ago my Region presented me with a Senatorship, so it does have me a bit more interested in what belongs there (and my Jaycee career started too recently to appreciate the admission of women, for example). On top of that, I'm interested in doing a userbox for Jaycees, Jaycee Graduates (Roosters), and Senators, but the first thing is to do it within copyrights. For what it's worth, the article about the JCI Senate has gone through a similar re-working by what may be the most appropriate person: the US JCI Senate webmaster.

Convair B-36

Roger Penske article
Hello Rogerd

Roger Penske did in fact drove formula 1 car in US grand prix in 1961 and 1962. Even in the article is writen ´Interestingly enough, although Penske competed in two Formula One Grand Prix, and won a NASCAR Pacific Coast Late Model race at Riverside in 1963, he never ran the Indy 500.´ You can also look in Formula one drivers list article. And if you don't believe this, then look on these websites.
