[edit] Science Fair

If i recall correctly, in the book Homer did not win the science fair. I do not want to change it but i am not totally sure. I think that was a creative liberty used in the movie

Yes, in the book he did indeed win it.

[edit] Adraeus' erroneous "vandalism" revert

I really don't appreciate my edit to this article being labeled valdalism, and I have reverted the page to restore the work I put into it... I added tons of valid, factual information, reorganized things, and brought the article up to date, all of which you deleted... The article is about Homer Hickam, NOT Frieda Riley, who has her own Wikipedia article... if you feel the need to add her back in, then do so, but don't go mindlessly reverting good edits...

What happened to the rocket boys? and did homer die?

I never labelled your edit, of which I mostly agree with, "vandalism". I asked you to rework your edit. Homer Hickam, on his own website, mentions Freida J. Riley, and you should not have removed the reference. Adraeus 04:32, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, my bad - I saw a vandalism comment on my watchlist right next to this one - got the wires crossed... feel free to add the reference back in, but I still believe you should't have done a wholesale revert... TheRealFennShysa 04:35, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I reverted your reversion and then reverted my reversion. I also re-added the reference. I think you may have also deleted some actual facts with your significant replacement of the content. You might want to look over the old version. Adraeus 04:44, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
