See my comments at my user page. You're right, I was out of line in my comment; apologies. Still, I stand by the intent of the comment. Revolver 10:27, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

Hi Directorstratton, I noticed you tried to re-add the image into the article and mentioned it on your home page. I'm trying to get permission from the author- the owner of the website it was taken from is contacting the copyright holder for us, might take a few weeks, she said.--Duk 15:22, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Crap

People do stupid things to the particle pages daily. There are both silly arguments with theorists about how to count particles, and raving loons who want to include their own strange things or label the neutrino has hypothetical. Fun. Nevertheless, I am enjoying myself--but I do think Misplaced Pages is a disaster that should be ignored by everyone except the people who enjoy it. -- SCZenz 18:47, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Forced busing

Thanks for your work on Forced busing, I think your re-write has really helped that page. I'm gathering info to add a section on Wilmington, Delaware, since I had first-hand experience with that (they started in 1978, between my kindergarten and 1st grade years). Note that in Wilmington it encompassed the whole metro area, with the general arrangment being that inner-city kids were shipped to the suburbs for K-3, and then the suburb kids were shipped to the inner-city for 4-6. I don't recall the specifics for middle school and high school. It was mostly called "deseg" or "desegregation", although "forced busing" and just "busing" weren't unusual terms. I could write volumes on my own experiences with it, but it's hard to distill it down to something that's neutral POV.

So I'm going to write a section for Delaware, but the whole article could use some fine-tuning. Probably some overall background on how the courts determined that the spriti Brown vs Board of Education wasn't being met, mention some of the key court cases, pros and cons, and then the individual cities.

The Forest City???

Show me where I can find any information that states the official city nickname of Cleveland, Ohio is "The Forest City." That nickname doesn't even make sense. Cleveland has no official nickname.
