message: Here's some of what I hope to have added, by me, or others.  When reading the article, you'll note I was awfully vague on some things.
*Did he do the stampede and his own non-Calgary stuff, at the same time.  Or did he wait till he finished with the Stampede.
*What is the exact date of his birth, and death.  Where did he die?
*What time period did he live in Wyoming, and where else did he live.  Did he live in Calgary for the 20 years he ran the Stampede?
*After founding it, what role, precisely did he have in running it.  I'm sure he didn't run it by himself.
*A picture would be nice too.
*A bio box would be nice, but it wouldn't be complete.
*More details post-Stampede would be helpful.
*What differences did he have during running the Stampede with others, and what were the details of his departure.  I prefer to get more sources than just another encyclopedia for this.

thread_title:  Remaing work to be done 

message: Hi  Just an FYI. Weadick was the founder of the Calgary Stampede. He was a rodeo organizer, thus he's in the Rodeo professionals category. He did not compete in any rodeo events, thus he does not belong in the Rodeo performer sub-categories. But thanks for trying to do the right thing. Rodeo performers is a diffusing category; it contains the rodeo events sub-categories, which is optimally where the contestants should go. Bull riders, saddle bronc riders, barrel racers, etc. Of course, if it can't be determined exactly what their event was, then we would put them in the top level category. Thanks a bunch for helping! Tom Three Persons did need added to the Saddle bronc riders category, so I saw that because of your edit. dawnleelynn(talk) 03:23, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: Cleanup

message: The following is an excerpt from my book.
And so my friend from St Thomas School invited me to meet his foster father.
Leiutenant Frank McGee of the New York City Police Department's Rodman's Neck Range was a tall lanky man who was about 60 and the World's foremost expert on firearms and guns.
We got to see the range the next week!
He took us on a vip tour of the police base!
He showed us the range and we got to actually shoot 22's and we had great fun shooting the paper targets with wadcutter bullets.
He took us to the weapons storage area and it was filled like king Tut's tomb!
There were hundreds or rifles and shotguns and pistols and hundreds of weapons of every kind!
He got out a Tommy Gun and made me hold it!
It was heavy!
He then showed us the training areas that had simulated one story buildings for practice.
He took us to a garage to see the "War Wagon" which had VHF UHF AM FM TV RADAR and police freqs for radios and had an arry of weapons for riot or assault!
Then we went down to the point where they detonated bombs.
There are several craters there for bomb disposal.
McGee then got out a stick of something and put it in the crater and blew it up!
Very impressive! What was it?
C4 explosives!
So then we had lunch and watched cadets train at the range.
The men were instructed and coached on when to shoot and when to lock and load and such.
It was one of the most exciting days of my life!
Sadly, I cannot go back there to visit him anymore.
He retired and died and I don't know anyone in charge there anymore.
And to Lt. Frank McGee NYPD, I must thank you for that day!
He was a good egg!
That was one of the best days of my life!

thread_title: NYPD Lt Frank McGee of Rodman's Neck Range

message: The history of this gun range is long and interesting. I believe articles like this at Wikipedia, have made the NYPD want to leave the area. This place was a nuisance and a pollution danger to our health. This was dedicated Parkland which was illegally siezed by the evil Mayor Koch and evil Governor Cuomo. Evil!
Last month they found rocket fuel in the water and food supply! Every year around July 2nd, they blow up illegal fireworks seized from celebrants of July 4th. Fireworks should be licensed in all states.

Talk:Big Apple (dance)

message: I don't see any references to the Ithaca-style Big Apple here, so I'm starting by adding a couple of external links.  I'm trying to gather more information about it, but according to the source below, it was choreographed by Frankie Manning.  From personal experience I know it's usually done to "Flying Home" by Lionel Hampton.  I've also heard rumour Frankie was described the original "Big Apple" over the telephone, which is how it started spreading in the Northern 'states.

message: A Google search for the phrase "proactive hobbyist" (and even "proactive hobbyist -gamer") finds that the phrase is exclusively associated with this article and pages quoting it.
What does it mean? As a native English speaker, I have only the vaguest sense - I think this phrase intends to separate the casual player of games from the proper gamer. But this phrase doesn't actually say that. 
What is the gamer proactive about? If the word is to remain, that ought to be explained/defined. Otherwise, a different, self-explanatory term should be found. (Indeed, I wonder if "proactive" was originally a substitution for a word like "motivated" or "dedicated".) SSSheridan (talk) 10:47, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:HMS Yarmouth (F101)

message: I've used information from a couple of web sites to fill out the basic skeleton for RN ships. However there are a couple of discrepancies:
http://www.btinternet.com/~warship/Postwar/Frigates/rothesay.htm lists pay of as April 24 1984 and final sinking as June 21 1987.
http://www.hms-yarmouth.com/timeline.htm lists decomissioning (which I believe is the same as paying off) as 30 April 1986 and the sinking as June 16 1987.
Also some of the information that I deleted from the previous page (e.g. the list of battle honours) probably belongs on the HMS Yarmouth page, which should list all ships that have held this title.
