To-do list for Kent Island, Maryland: edit · history · watch · refresh
  • Replace 1970 map with a more recent one.
  • Cite sources as needed per WP:CITE.
  • Add section on tourism (without making this sound like a travel brochure!).

In case anyone's interested, I dropped the section on tourism, the information I planned on adding here has been added to Wikitravel instead. There should at least be a brief mention of tourism on Kent Island here though.-Jeff (talk) 03:04, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Notability

Please don't add yourself or someone you know if that person isn't notable, Wikipedia has rules against that. As a rule of thumb, it's safe to add someone if they already have an article here written about them. Just know that I happen to be from Kent Island, and I have this article on my watchlist, so chances are, if you add someone's name I'll recognize it (yeah, that's Kent Island for you :P), and know if that person's not notable.-Jeff (talk) 17:33, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ted Lerner

According to his article, he lives in Chevy Chase, can anyone verify where he actually lives?-Jeff (talk) 01:13, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External link removed

An external link to http://www.setbb.com/kentislandmoms was removed twice from this page, once by another member, then by myself. This is considered link spam, a link that does not provide any extra info, and is just placed to advertise a site here. This is not a place to advertise.-Jeff (talk) 12:32, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move back to Kent Island, Maryland

This is the common name when disambiguation is necessary. Even though Kent Island is an island, it is usually thought of as a "town" and is commonly referred to as such.-Jeff (talk) 13:43, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I didn't get any responses so I went ahead and moved this back to its correct name.-Jeff (talk) 16:42, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notablility again

Because of problems with people adding their own names and/or friends names to the "Notable People" list, I think the best solution is to only list people who have Wikipedia articles.-Jeff (talk) 16:15, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I always double-check those with a google search (and/or look at the history on the topic itself to verify that the article wasn't added recently). Also, some of the articles are to a person who's really not related to the topic. Tedickey (talk) 17:16, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
OK, but I still think the name I removed (Jason Bell) should stay off. If he is only known for being the lyricist for a band that doesn't have a Wikipedia article, then I don't think he's worth mentioning.-Jeff (talk) 01:29, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
