[edit] Tau Epsilon Phi

  • Thank you Metros232 for your assistance, feedback and guidance on the TEP web page. I've moved your comments, and mine, to the Talk:Tau Epsilon Phi page where it is more accessable to the TEP community, and shows the chronology of our discussion. Timmccloud 23:36, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Thank you for the input. I have been watching hockey all day during my editing on Wikipedia, and I have been caught in an error. I meant to put an expansion tag, not a sources tag. I apologize for the mixup, and thank you for your diligence on the matter. Furthermore, it's a refreshing change to have someone so polite and helpful when it comes to matters on a fraternal nature. I'm much more used to a harsher tone when I edit a page an someone disagrees, so I thank you. Jmlk17 02:10, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Nice job with the sourcing, brother! bd2412 T 01:52, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Poe and "The Hollow Earth"

Hey, just so you know, I moved the reference to "The Hollow Earth" novel from the Edgar Allan Poe page. We're trying to maintain Edgar Allan Poe in popular culture for literature that uses the historical Poe as a fictional character. Feel free to expand "The Hollow Earth" listing there - especially if you have better context for the role he played in the book, etc. Thanks!! -Midnightdreary 23:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem, and thanks for the tip - I'll have to keep my eye out for it! -Midnightdreary 01:00, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eagle Rock

David, would you please explain to me why the brother of someone famous, who is not famous in their own right - and not notable enough to have their own bio page in wikipedia - warrants a entry in the Eagle Rock article? And a picture? Matt Lauder's lived there - but then so did I - so how is Matt so notable he has a photo and 1/2 a paragraph dedicated to him - and when did we start including noting famous peoples newphews who are golf instructors in articles? It's a really nice picture of Matt, but even by the largest stretch of my imagination I can't see how Matt is notable to meet wikipedia guidelines. Now if his BROTHER lived in Eagle Rock, I could see the inclusion, but you don't mention that at all. Your assistance in helping me understand this would be appreciated. Timmccloud

Just transferring this to your Talk Page, Tim. Well in his time he was a minor notable of Eagle Rock, as is evidenced by the many references to him in the Los Angeles Times. His private company carried out numerous commissions for the rich and famous, and laid out Forest Lawn. In addition he, like Sir Harry, sang well, and he often appeared on local stage and radio: on May 12 and June 16, 1928, the LA Times lists him on the radio, and on June 19 that year he stood in for his brother (Sir H) at a LA Music Pageant. I see too that the LA Times carried a report on April 8, 1929, where the Canadian Tourist Society of Southern California (whatever that was ) presented him with an Honourary membership certificate at some event. the article's sub heading states "Matt Lauder honoured". He also warranted an obituary. And like it or not he was notable just by being Sir Harry's brother. So while I did not think there was sufficient for an entire article page I felt he could go under Eagle Rock as a notable of his time there. Lets face it. Look at some the grotty 'notables' et al we see today. Most of them would have been cast aside in 1930! Regards, David Lauder (talk) 18:04, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
There you go! Make a reference to him laying out forest lawn and that would make him personally notable for the article. Exactly what I was looking for David - will you make the edit or shall I? Timmccloud (talk) 18:08, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Oh. That was quick! You can do it. Somewhere there is a press photo of Sir Harry visiting Matthew, with their niece Greta also. It was taken on the steps of the Wee Kirk o' the Heather'. Someone sent me a copy of it years ago but I don't know where it is now. I sometimes get a bit of stick for editing people with the same surname as myself (regardless of the fact that there are two columns of Lauders in our phone book!)

[edit] Marshall, WI images

I drove through Marshall this morning and I took some pictures. Should I upload my pictures that didn't turn out very well, or would you like to upload some pictures of the downtown and welcome sign? It was dreary outside at the time that I took them, and some pictures on a nice sunny day with the sun at your back would put my pictures to shame. Royalbroil 02:57, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Aw thanks

What's with the "beef" stuff on the article then? Did you go to Dane Court? Hamletpride (talk) 15:26, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] For want of a nail

I thought the article was fairly complete; the talk page template makes the expand template redundant as well. Please feel free to revert if you disagree. Cheers, Her Pegship (tis herself) 23:08, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
