A fact from My Old Kentucky Home State Park appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 21 January 2008.

[edit] First confederate flag in Kentucky

I visited there recently, and during the guided tour, asked the guide about this. She knew nothing about it. Also, the plantation was managed by a former Union general after the war, so it seems unlikely that the owners were Confederate sympathizers. We need a cite for this. --rogerd 16:49, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I put a request on the talk page of the editor User:Janet1983 who added this to provide a cite for this. We need to get this cleared up quickly so we don't spread misinformation. --rogerd 02:22, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

• That's because its the Ben Johnson House, not Federal Hill.--Bedford 00:00, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge proposal

This section is to discuss the merging of Federal Hill (Kentucky) into My Old Kentucky Home State Park. TableManners^C·U·T 00:40, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

• SupportI, of course, believe in merging. Federal Hill is the centerpiece of the State Park, without which there would be no state park. It's silly to have two separate articles on the same subject; both would have to be stubby otherwise. As "My Old Kentucky Home State Park" would be what its best known as, and not Federal Hill, the main article should be the state park, and Federal Hill should redirect.--Bedford 01:00, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
• Support I support the above. The major reason I undid the redirect is to have other eyes examine the article for useful infomration not in the remaining article. TableManners^C·U·T 03:00, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Is there anything missing from the state park article that was in the Federal Hill article?--Bedford 03:06, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

• Response I did not see anything missing, but I skimmed them both. Unless there is some hurry, and you know every thing of value in the one article is already in the other article, go ahead and merge. (I just wanted more eyes on it, but I trust you if you want to speedy merge). TableManners^C·U·T 03:24, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Double-checked, everything in Federal Hill is here (not surprising that everything in a stub is in an practically-B article. Merging complete.--Bedford 16:55, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
