[edit] Hawthorne Caballeros
So you have no problem with an article that says The Caballeros are a drum corps in DCA who like to perform fellatio on men. and women of cabs suck too. overall, cabs are gay? User:Zoe|(talk)` I do have a problem with that, and it should have been removed, but there was no need to delete the entire article. --JimBurnell 20:33, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
I can ressurect it, if you will put some text into it, because an article which only contains a taxobox is considered empty. User:Zoe|(talk) 20:58, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
As long as you don't mind if it's a very brief description of the corps, I will put something in it right away. I just haven't had time to flesh it out.--JimBurnell 21:04, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
OK, I've undeleted it. Go ahead and put something in there. User:Zoe|(talk) 22:27, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
I added a quickie stub so there's something there now. Thank you. --JimBurnell 22:48, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
You're welcome. :) User:Zoe|(talk) 23:52, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fantastic work
You've done a fantastic job referencing the article.. I'm impressed that you have such a grasp of cite.php (the <ref></ref>
) tags after such a short time working on the Wikipedia. Curious though.. why are some of the references placed as inline external links (ex:[1]) and the rest are cite.php refs (ex:[1])? Also, references should always go behind punctuation. That means, behind the punctuation that follows the clause that the reference is for.. so it can go in the middle of a sentence behind a comma or at the end of a sentence. -- drumguy8800 C T 23:15, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, and no, I don't play anymore. Sorry -- drumguy8800 C T 23:16, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Well, there's sort of a funny gap between Start and B classes, as you'll see here. I'd actually say B-Class now that you've referenced it so wonderfully. Before that though, maybe you should add a picture .. ? Do you have any? -- drumguy8800 C T 07:00, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Buccaneers
Their championships are listed in several different spots on there already. Can it be worked in a little better so that the article is not just a laundry list? That is what I was attempting to do with my edition of the page. Werecowmoo (talk) 16:07, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
- My goal is just to provide the most factual information. My roommate, a Buccaneers Alumni from 2004, confirmed what the source said on their website and had no way to know they'd picked up an additional sponsor. I simply provided a citation to back up what was presented on their organization website. Did not see anything wrong with editing while attempting to improve the article.Werecowmoo (talk) 22:01, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Atlanta CorpsVets
Apparently some people on Wikipedia want to delete the Atlanta CorpsVets page. Could you to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Atlanta_CorpsVets and offer your opinion. Also, if you think the article can be improved please feel free to do that.WolfenUWG 16:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
