==Civil service worker information==
I want to gauge opinion on including certain information in the articles of civil servants, such as their addresses/telephone numbers (at least in the case of City Council/County Commission and similar) and salaries... What are some thoughts? '''[[User:Dcosson|dcosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 11:25, 19 August 2007 (CDT)

:I think salaries are fair game. Home addresses and phone numbers are a little more iffy... I know that's what some Councilmembers, etc. have on their City website pages, but I think a link to those pages would be sufficient. --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 12:38, 19 August 2007 (CDT)

==Awesome book==
I've just received an awesome new resource, a 1946 book entitled "The Naval Air Training Bases Through World War II".  FULL of pictures.  Hopefully I/we can figure out a way to get them scanned.  '''[[User:Dcosson|dcosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 09:11, 21 October 2007 (CDT)

==Naming conventions for persons?==
 
==Naming conventions for persons?==
 
Should we establish naming conventions for persons?  Especially with historic figures, there are a variety of ways to present their names, i.e. [[F. C. Brent]], [[Francis Brent]], [[Francis C. Brent]], or (this is how we have this article) [[Francis Celestino Brent]]...  Currently we have different articles with different name formats.  In the time of many of these figures, it was popular to go by your first and middle initials, i.e. [[F. C. Brent]], [[A. V. Clubbs]], [[P. K. Yonge]], [[C. H. Turner]]... should we respect that?

Generally I feel like we should go with full names whenever possible, a la [[Francis Celestino Brent]]... but then what format do we fall back to if we do not know the middle name?  For instance, at the moment I do not know C. H. Turner's middle name.  So should it be [[C. H. Turner]], [[Charles H. Turner]], [[Charles Turner]]?  Anyone have any input?

:In the case you mention, the [http://www.rootsweb.com/~flescamb/directv.htm 1894 city directory] calls him [[Charles H. Turner]], which is what I think I would use. --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 11:09, 6 December 2007 (CST)
