Minor League Baseball

Hey, Will, thanks for your good work on the milb teams' pages. →Vik Reykja 23:14, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)


NASCAR

Hi. Adding a "Perceptions of NASCAR" section was discussed in the talk page. It is highly approporiate to include that section in the article because Wiki wants opposing points of view in an article. Anyone you talk to wo doesn't like NASCAR will tell you its either because (1) only rednecks watch it (according to them) or (2) the sport is boring. I do agree in finding more demographics to either support these perceptions or disprove them. But, I think those general opposing POV statements should remain (and, no, I don't agree with them).69.134.50.153 22:22, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding some counterpoints to the Perceptions section. I wonder if the argument that their are more tracks in PA and WI counter the perception that their are rednecks in NASCAR (what if the people going to thos tracks are rednecks, are all those tracks NASCAR sanctioned). I would still like to find more demographic information regarding the fan base that would show whether they are redneck or not (political orientation, living conditions, etc). Otherwise, good job. 69.134.50.153 16:35, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OVC

It took me a bit to find any information on the Kentucky International Convention Center and it's "arena". I see you are sometimes busy with arena articles as well. Good job on those that I've seen! Patken4 22:57, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Conference Tournement Locations

Out of curiousity, how are you finding the men's basketball tournement locations? I've tried looking at conference websites, only to find most don't have anything, particularly the smaller ones. Is there a website that I haven't found yet? Thanks in advance. Patken4 21:57, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clash of Champions Venues

I found some information on most of the venues that didn't have articles. I can't find much on Center Stage Theatre in Atlanta other than a few concerts were held there in the 90's. Thanks for alerting me to the page, though! Patken4 22:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

League of the South

The league is obviously outside the mainstream. Most southerners do not espouse its views. Disagree? 155.84.57.253 21:36, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree on the grounds that what you deem to be "mainstream" is your judgment. The group exists with close to ten thousand members in dozens of states nationwide...it should be called a "group" without your qualifiers. WillC 21:39, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Nambla also has at least a thousand members in states throughout the country. Would you classify them as outside the mainstream? What is your breaking off point? Clearly 10,000 out of millions is not a significant membership. Would you accept "small" as a description? 155.84.57.253 21:45, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
if morris dees is on the opposite end of the spectrum, why no qualifiers for the splc? WillC 22:16, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Thomas Jefferson

Nope, you're right, I was confused. Goochland, at one time, encompassed what's now over half a dozen counties. Jefferson was born in Shadwell then. Shortly thereafter Albemarle was broken off which, in turn, was divided up not too long after that, including dividing off some of what is now Goochland. One begat the other begat the other; at the point when Jefferson was born, Goochland had not yet produced Albemarle. Had he been born somewhat later -- which is what I was thinking -- then he would have been born in Albemarle before it spawned a portion of Goochland.

How confusing. --WaldoJ 01:26, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]




DNC '76 - I was there

I was at the convention, so I know it was at MSG. (Which I'm aware is OR in Wiki). I'll find you a source. Simon12 16:58, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, here are some sites you can get more convention info from: http://www.nytimes.com/library/politics/camp/whouse/convention-ra.html http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=49&aid=68171 Simon12 17:02, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Jack Faber

Have a look at Talk:Jack Faber; are you sure he was a football coach, not a lacrosse coach? grendel|khan 20:13, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Venues

Is the Atlanta Memorial Auditorium the same as the Municipal Auditorium (Atlanta)? The dates for the venues opening and closing match those I found here. Also if you click list of other venues link on the top left of the page, just underneath the venue information, you might more info on other venues from the Southern Conference. As for the John Jay Center, I couldn't find much Google search Yahoo search. With the Charles L. Sewall Center opening in 1985, there may not be much out there on their old gym.

Dunning

Hey Will. I'll change the Dunning thing after I've done a little more research; it may take a little while since I'm busy. And again, maybe we could switch this discussion to the talk page? NoahB 01:26, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not violate Wikipedia policy by introducing inappropriate pages, such as Delaware State Fair to Wikipedia. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Cheers, Jonomacdrones (talk) 23:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I never said they dont, please read the tag on the page prior to jumping the gun and stay cool. Cheers, Jonomacdrones (talk) 23:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It is irrelevant where it is from. If you have more to say in an article, add it- do not start articles and leave them until you have more to say, this is pointless- it countermands wikipedia as a whole. Please do not delete sections on here when they're still important, either. Cheers, Jonomacdrones (talk) 23:42, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
None of theses are lacking in context or substance. Have you any idea why i have marked this for deletion? Don't remove sections (even on your talk page) when they're in use- this is vandalism when you know better. Cheers, Jonomacdrones (talk) 00:02, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
no, what you are doing is vandalism. you won't admit you are wrong, even when it has been clearly pointed out to you on your talk page. it is obvious you have no clue about america. WillC 00:04, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If you feel i have breached any of these, feel free to report me. Be sure to note what exactly i have breached. WP:VANDAL, WP:NPA, WP:HAR. Cheers, Jonomacdrones (talk) 00:07, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
