[edit] School Bus Fleet

To the new contributor: I moved your new section to a more appropriate place in the article and added some internal links. (We have lots of good stuff on school buses on Wikipedia; see the internal links I added). If you want to see a Virginia school bus won by a driver in front of the Virginia State Capitol, try school bus yellow. Why not register as a user, and keep contributing? Yours in Richmond.

[edit] Source of name

I removed the WP:POV statement "This is the only theory which has any validity." To the person who added this info, I only deleted your POV conclusion, not your information about one of the many theories regarding the mysterious source of the name. I am sure many of us would like to learn more of this interesting possibility, which seems to be not well-known. Please cite your sources for us. And, why not register as a WP user, and keep contributing? Cordially, Mark in Historic Triangle of Virginia Vaoverland 14:13, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kiln Creek

I removed the following text, which is a likely copyvio and reads like an well-written advertisment for Kiln Creek if it isn't. I am not anti-Kiln Creek (a beatuftul project and community asset) but we need to follow WP standards, and keep this articel out of trouble. Thanks. Vaoverland 16:06, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
