I thought Mitch would be a great starting bio. Maybe make new ones every 21 days, and archive old ones?--Bedford 05:35, 17 May 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Possible future Select biographies

I was looking for bios with 1)Pictures and 2)of a size larger than Start.--Bedford 17:33, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I think John Yarmuth would be good to add, to balance out Anne Northup politically, especially as they might be running against each other again. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 18:53, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

I probably should. I just striked out those bio above that I've actually done. I need to get Sanders as well, either on this portal or Kentucky's.--Bedford 19:07, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

  • I did Scherzinger's, but seeing how she just sold Fat Tony's, she may no longer qualify as a Louisvillain. Sander's pic is not free, so some image-nazi is likely to screw me over with using that pic like they did Thompson's and Kirk's. I probably need to go back to Cave Hill and take a closeu-up just of his face on his gravestone.--Bedford 19:19, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

I would like to add nominations for Joshua Fry Speed and James Speed because of their connections to Lincoln -- especially interesting during the two-year Bicentennial that just started. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 16:35, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
