Cincinnati area
I noticed your Cincinnati area (and Catholic) edits. Kudos on your contributions and I hope you are able to add more in the future (including perhaps the Dayton area, where I'm from). Thanks --Dpr 06:22, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
Maritime Victory
I stand corrected. I think it was the SS (for sovereign ship) that confused me.Bjones 03:37, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
"SS" can also mean steam ship. Mfields1 12:06, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Foundryman
What is your interest in foundrymen? Any connection to grey metal foundries in Ohio/Indiana? ] any connection to the Gartland foundries???
Hmm...a lot of people will spell it "gray iron", I prefer grey too. Mfields1 12:06, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Bishop Elder letter to Abraham Linclon
Regarding your page on a letter to Abraham Lincoln (forgive me, the other party's name slips my mind at the time, see for help, and I'll see what can be done for the wiki page. Yanksox 15:40, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
OK, didn't know about Wikitext but maybe it's where it belongs. Mfields1 12:06, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you!

Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!
Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of topics related to military history.
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
- Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is recommended that you watchlist it.
- The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:
- Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
- Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!
- Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, or periods.
- Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Misplaced Pages.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 02:32, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

US 15th Army
Thanks for the note. I will not claim to be an expert in getting articles up to FA status but I was a player in getting some military unit articles up to GA status. Take a look at 2nd Battalion 9th Marines and 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit for examples of military articles that have reached GA status. There may be some ideas from these pages that are worth incorporating into the article. The biggest thing is references and in line notes. I will help out where I can.

RE: Cincinnati Reds
Of course I did not put a reference; I was explaining a revert not attempting to cite a fact. If you want to put a "citation needed" tag at the end of the line I certainly have no problem with that as it is a fact that should be cited, but it is also not a particularly controversial one. The Red Stockings were likely the first team to pay all of its members, but this cannot be proven concretely as there is no dispute that some teams were paying at least their star players either an under-the-table salary or giving them menial jobs and then grossly overpaying them before that time, perhaps as early as Jim Creighton who played in the early 1860s. The breakthrough of the Red Stockings was that they openly acknowledged their professional nature and showed other teams the advantage in prestige and profits that came with fielding a professional team. Indrian 18:36, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
- FWIW, if and where I call the NABBP "all-amateur" before 1869, that means every club formally amateur, professional clubs ineligible for association membership, same as colored clubs ineligible. It doesn't mean any club purely amateur or any particular player amateur in any particular sense. "All" quantifies the clubs. --P64 18:11, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Sorry 'bout that
I removed the Singapore link by accident. The taxiway re-routing is very likely a red herring here based on what I've seen of the airport and signage. --chris.lawson 00:45, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps you can't imagine it, but until there is a link, any implication or claim that the two are related would be original research.--chris.lawson 18:14, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- Again, you're speculating. Certainly something did confuse the pilots, both in taking the wrong runway and in continuing the takeoff roll when instrument indications (should have) indicated they were using the wrong runway. But until we know what that something was, it is pointless to speculate, and it's certainly not something that should be done in an article. (Of course, it's not hurting anything to do it on Talk pages.)--chris.lawson 23:43, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- I just wanted to say that there has been a RfC. regarding Comair Flight 5191 Since you have been a contributor to the article, I encourage you to add to the debate and to contribute to the article, in the future. Mytwocents 05:31, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Cincinnati Red Stockings
Mfields, Intrigued by the tidbits in Ellard (1908), I wrote a biography of founding president Alfred T. Goshorn only Friday. In a moment I will tweak it and remove the biography stub tag. There is also an Ohio stub but I don't know a good Ohio tag (category or project) for when I remove that one. As a military and Cincinnati historian, you may be intrigued that Ellard (b1859?) calls him "General Goshorn", presumably for his famous service as Director-General of the Centennial Expo.
The Red Stockings article is still growing. Perhaps it will soon need splitting but that is something for the article Talk. --P64 17:53, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
WP:CIVIL
I sure hope this wasn't a veiled threat, because if it was, it's a blatant violation of civility policy.--chris.lawson 01:12, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
