Thanks for your contributions on US history. When you have time, please review the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. It will tell you how to format your articles. For example, you should begin an article with the name of the subject in bold text; the title is not part of the text. Also see Wikipedia:Category, which explains how to categorize your article so that they can be found. Gazpacho 19:07, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kerchief and western wear

If you look at Talk:Kerchief, you'll find that we actually had some discussion regarding Category:Western wear, which could be summed up with the line, "Cowboys don't wear kerchiefs". The idea was that "kerchief" looked really strange in the western wear category, and so we proposed a change in name to "bandanna". It ultimately failed due to it mainly being a difference between American English and the Queen's English (changing between English styles is against policy). So the compromise move was to put the category on Bandanna, which is a redirect to Kerchief. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:16, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Communist Control Act

Regarding your edit to the Communist Control Act article, what is your source for this Act being known as the Brownell–Butler Act? The only reference I can find to "Brownell–Butler" on the Web is Guide to the International Fur and Leather Workers' Union Records, 1913–1955, which make reference to a Brownell–Butler union licensing bill. However, while the CCA does deal in a few places with Communists representives of labour bargaining units, I wouldn't call it a "union licensing" act. —Psychonaut 23:01, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
