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.

Articles I have created:

Spaceflight

• Phillips Report
• Did you ever wonder what those scimitar antennas on the Apollo spacecraft were (and why they were called that)?
• 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

• Joseph Gargan -- Kennedy cousin of Teddy, Bobby, and President Jack; Teddy's stooge and fall-guy @ Chappaquiddick. If the non-relative Paul Markham rated his own article, certainly Gargan did.

Arts/Entertainment

• Converted Humorist from a List of humorists redirect to an actual page; humorists are not just comedians.*
• Have you ever heard of Jimmy Nelson (ventriloquist)? (No, he's not the African-American blues singer who used to hog the primary topic, nor the baseball player.)
• List of From the Earth to the Moon cast members (There used to be one once before I came along, but some overzealous admin seemed to have deleted it without any apparent due discussion.)
• Did you hear about The Plot to Overthrow Christmas?
  If not, then join us, from Maine to the isthmus
  of Panama...

Firesign Theatre

• Back From the Shadows: The Firesign Theatre's 25th Anniversary Reunion Tour
• Are you brave enough to open The Firesign Theatre's Box of Danger? (I converted this from the original Nick Danger page.) *
• Lawyer's Hospital
• Nick Danger (I re-created this after converting the old page to Box of Danger.) *
• What This Country Needs (Proctor and Bergman album)

* Counts as a creation of new content, even though the page previously existed.

Hints

Reusable short footnotes in Harvard format:

<ref name="name">citation text</ref> <ref name="name" />

{{sfnp | last name(s) of author(s) | year | p=page number or pp=page range or loc=other location }}
Warning: do not nest the sfn or sfnp templates inside <ref>--this is done automatically and will blank the citation and cause an error message to be produced.

Another shortcut (most easily done when there is only one author's name):

<ref>[[#Last|Last]] (date), p.xxx</ref>

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.

{{Reflist}}

==References==
* {{citation | title = Smith's paper | ref = harv }} This is not necessary for {{citation}}, but is normally necessary for the others.

Title case capitalization

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

Always capitalized: When using title case, the following words should 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 not capitalized on Wikipedia (unless they are the first or last word of a title) are:

• 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.

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.
