Wentworth Military Academy[edit]

You're doing a great job with the Wentworth article. Keep up the good work. When you get a chance could you put in a reference(s) at the bottom indicating where you're getting your information. Also, it would be great if you could post some photos! Great job. I may come in in a bit to help a little since I assume you're a wiki newbie. Anyway great job!

I appreciate the detailed writing of the history of Kemper Military School for Wikpedia. It is accurate for the most part. I am unsure of the authors association with Kemper or, his/her source for the information which he/she claims to be authoritative. One such misrepresentation was that Wentworth was the oldest military school west of the Mississippi. This was factually incorrect at best and a gross misrepresentation at worst.

Cadet uniforms were introduced at Kemper in 1873. "TO PROMOTE ECONOMY WE HAVE ADOPTED FOR OUR SCHOLARS A UNIFORM OF CADET GRAY, TRIMMED WITH BLACK, SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE WEST POINT MILITARY ACADEMY. MR. WM. JOHNSON, MERCHANT TAILOR, BOONVILLE, MISSOURI, AND AN HONORABLE GENTLEMAN, IS ENGAGED TO FURNISH THE STUDENTS AT REDUCED RATES. PARENTS WHO PREFER PROVIDING CLOTHING AT HOME, CAN GET ALL INFORMATION BY ADDRESSING MR. JOHNSON."

SOURCE: Announcement for the 1873-1874 School year, "Economy in Spending Money" Advertising appearing in selected newspapers.

Beals Becker[edit]

Thanks for contributing the article on Becker. I added some wiki-linke to it. I also noted that you accidentally moved his link into the "Not available on Wikipedia" section on the Wikipedia:Find-A-Grave famous people/B/Be page. Since he is (now) definitely available here, the correct place for his link is in the "Verified" section; I moved it there. Thanks again! Merenta 21:55, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
