[edit] DYK

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Siege of the Alcázar, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. |

[edit] Hampton bullets
The reason I took out the bullets was because a recent WP:FAC for George B. McClellan raised objections about using bullets for this. (Wikipedia has somewhat recently been negative about using bullets instead of real sentences for its better articles.) I don't feel strongly about it, so won't attempt to fix this one.

[edit] Hampton
That looks good. Although I normally do not worry much about citations in these catalogs of geographic place names, what is your source for claiming "approximately 47 towns of South Carolina" have streets named Hampton? Is there some database of street names? By the way, "approximately 47" is a rather odd construct. Hal Jespersen 15:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History of the University of South Carolina
Thanks for expanding the stub left in the USC article. I tried to write a brief summary to leave there but got bogged down in all the politics between the Civil War and WWI. Thanks also for redoing the sections in History of the University of South Carolina. It looks great. clariosophic 03:15, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- RE Clariosophic Society & Euphradian Society As far as I know that's true. The only later references I've found are to the Euphradian Hall which is still used for university functions, but apparently not for society meetings. I belonged to Clariosophic in 1962-63. Most members then were law students with a few grad students and a few pre-law undergrads. There were 16 members in our Garnet & Black picture in 1963, which was most of the active members. The Euphradians had only 7. Older members told me that our hall was given to the society by the legislature and I gathered that the same was true for the Euphradian Hall. Our hall then was probably what would today be called "museum quality" for ante-bellum rooms. Very little had been changed since the that period. Because of USC's reverence for the past, I felt sure that the societies would survive, but I guess the turmoil of the late 60s & early 70s took its toll on Carolina. I've been in contact with guys at the University of Georgia and UNC-CH who are in literary societies there and who jointly maintain a website listing all known US college literary societies. I've heard from them that they have heard from at least one USC student interested in reactivating Clariosophic. clariosophic 02:27, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Flagship State University
I looked at the other schools you cited and decided it was OK, so I put it back. I had thought it was just gilding the lily, but I see your point that it is a valid type. I also found that the State University System of Florida has by law designated some of its state universities as Flagship research universities.clariosophic 18:44, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Debate over Article for Deletion: Clemson University football recruiting scandal

[edit] House of Rep elections in South Carolina
Do you plan to make the entire list of House of Representatives elections in South Carolina? I saw the 1954, and thought it was pretty good. Basketball110 the pages I've messed up completely 23:15, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oh. Basketball110 the pages I've messed up completely 23:23, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- Been on patrol again. Noticed 2 of your pages. Good work. Basketball110 vandalise me 22:39, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:SCMap-doton-Gumville-Berkeley.png

[edit] 1938 election question
In your [[United States House of Representatives elections in South Carolina, 1938|article], you show John Taylor with a majority in the 8/30 election, but then the election went to a runoff. So I think either you left out a candidate, or the source left out a candidate. --RobbieFal (talk) 19:12, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
