[edit] Editing Reminders

  • Don't forget to use {inuse} so those well meaning but annoying people who monitor new page creation will not destoy subsequent edits.
  • Don't forget to put in a colon between User:Hokeman/Sandbox N (otherwise it will appear in mainspace).
  • Use {fact} for citation needed and {failed verification} for not in citation given
  • Use {dubious} when something just sounds too much like a crock of bullshit
  • Use {Inappropriate tone} for amateurish, poorly worded articles
  • Use {reqphoto} on the talk page to request photos be placed in articles
  • Use {cleanup-refs} when footnotes are of inconsistent style
  • Use {nofootnotes} when articles contain external links or list of references but no in-text citations
  • Use wiki markup {DEFAULTSORT:Last name, First name} instead of the name in each Category
  • Remove non-disambiguating wikilinks on disambiguation pages (per MOS)
  • Put redirects in bold rather than as an internal link in articles (per MOS).
  • Wikipedia: Citation templates; Wikipedia:Citing sources; Wikipedia:Footnotes - useful tools
  • Templates used in vandal control: {uw-vandalism1|article} (reference the specific article) up to {uv-vandalism4}

[edit] New Orleans museum ship

Re: In 1992, during a visit to New Orleans, I took a river tour. I noticed, on the opposite bank a mile or so upriver from the city, a WWII Escort "Jeep" Carrier . The tour guide said that it was in the process of being turned into a memorial/museum. I saw some photographs of New Orleans- post Katrina. I didn't see the ship. Whatever happened to it?Hokeman 18:17, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I dont know of this - what is a WWII Escort "Jeep" Carrier? - is it a Landing craft tank or smaller like a LCVP? May be able to track it down still. - mervyn 12:04, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

An escort or "jeep" carrier was the smallest type of aircraft carrier used in WWII. They were used primarily for convoy escort duty in the Atlantic; although a few were also used in the Pacific. Some fought heroic actions (e.g. Taffy 3 in the Battle of Leyte Gulf.) I have tried everything I could think of to find that ship- internet searches,looking through old photo albums- to no avail. I still need to hear from my buddy who went on the trip with me to see if he has any photo's. If I find out anything, I'll keep you posted. Thanks for your help.Hokeman 17:21, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
