[edit] Nice work on Michael W. Burns
It was a pleasure to see the nice, through refrencing you did on Michael W. Burns. He's not a critical figure, by any means, but it's nice to see things done well. -- 75.214.146.170 (really, User:JesseW/not logged in) 22:01, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thomas L. Bromwell
Hi Wallstreethotrod. You are off to such a great start on the article Thomas L. Bromwell that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. The Main Page gets about 4,000,000 hits per day and appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created and if you haven't already done so, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. If you do nominate the article for DYK, please cross out the article name on the "Good" articles proposed by bot list. Also, don't forget to keep checking back at Did you know suggestions for comments regarding your nomination. Again, great job on the article. -- Jreferee (Talk) 17:37, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Whoa, interesting stuff...although it's reassuring that in they get prosecuted unlike in many other countries. Well done, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:13, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] James W. Campbell
Hey Hotrod, are you sure your results are correct for the last two elections on the Campbell page? Marylandstater 12:50, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Legislative Notes
I noticed you have added notations on many of the legislators who are in the Maryland General Assembly, but your notations seem to bring some bias into play. For instance, recently you added notes about House Bill 2 that raised the sales tax in Maryland, lowered the income tax for some incomes, raised it for others, added a dollar to the tobacco tax, etc. After looking through the bill, there seems to be at least a dozen changes to Maryland tax law; but you picked only one of those changes in describing the bill. Why is not the title of the bill, "Tax Reform Act of 2007" more appropriate than your description? Your edit summary says "it is not point of view, it is fact", but you only chose one of the dozen facts that are in the bill. Who is to say that is the most important part of the bill? If you say it, then that is your point of view. The bill's title gives a more complete and more neutral description then the one you have provided. If I am wrong please advise here. Triple3D (talk) 21:37, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
I have to agree with Triple3D about this. Just listing one of the provisions of the bill and saying that is what he voted for is misleading. The bill also put in a new tax on electronic bingo and electronic tip jars. Why isn't that listed as well? Listing the name of the bill would be more NPOV.

[edit] Re: Living people and template
Please don't remove Category:Living people from an article since it serves an important purpose. See the category page and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons to read why. As for the Maryland government branches template, it is best to not overuse it. If a person is a member of the Maryland government, then saying so in the article (and wikilinking to other appropriate articles, i.e. Maryland Senate) or using categories should be done instead of using a template wherever possible. See Wikipedia:Template namespace. Thanks. --Tom (talk - email) 23:28, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
- I won't remove the templates if it will mean a revert war, but please try not to use them excessively. --Tom (talk - email) 18:16, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NCHS
The principal list appears to be partly vandalism. For the record, the present principal is in fact Kimberley Dolch, but I can't vouch for the rest - Mr. J. H. Hoover in particular. Acroterion (talk) 01:50, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the message. If it may be vandalism, than I agree that it should not be there.Wallstreethotrod (talk) 12:53, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Perry Hall High School
If notable alumni should be its own section then that is fine. Just be careful when you change it to look at other sections around it. I think you left popular culture as a subsection of notable alumni by accident. MDSL2005 (talk) 04:25, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Defunct High Schools
I am not sure exactly what you are asking. I have seen highschool pages deleted because the high school was not notable enough. I am not sure how a defunct high school can remain on wikipedia. I do not have an opinion one way or the other. The only category I can think of is the obvious one: Defunct High Schools in Maryland. I know there are a few that are gone that were fairly important during their time, i.e. the Bates Highschool in Annapolis that was all african-american school for most of its history; its necessity was obviated when integretion came. I hope these comments are helpful. Marylandstater (talk) 00:16, 29 February 2008 (UTC) Of course schools that are now closed can be on wikipedia - the categories are there to help readers not to limit what can be written about. If its notable - its in! See Derby School Victuallers (talk) 10:51, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Did you know ... its a nice article
Your school article is a very good start. Refs are good - there are some nice facts. I'd like to propose this for the front page. Is there any chance it could gain about 1000 characters of text about its history and a picture or two in the next 3 days? Victuallers (talk) 10:51, 2 March 2008 (UTC) Enjoy yourself ... pity .. the two articles on DYK would have been good. Maybe someone will step in Victuallers (talk) 17:51, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] High Schools
Thanks for the resource... it's a great one. I appreciate your help. Nice-looking page too. My high school band used to compete against Walkersville back in the day. Killervogel5 (talk) 19:38, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Frederick HS DYK
The link I was clicking on to check the fact (the championships) gets a "Page Not Found" or something like that. That's what I meant. Daniel Case (talk) 13:28, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
