[edit] RE: Frank Wead
Do you have a citation for the addition that you made to the Frank Wead article? Thanks, WikiDon 16:55, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I know that you didn't add "Z telegram," I have also left a message with the user that did (User talk:75.35.203.7, so we might not hear back from them, the only contribution made by that IP was: "03:41, 30 October 2006 Frank Wead (Edited some content concerning Wead's life based on research and interview with Wead's daughter."). However, since you knew enough to change it to "Zimmermann Telegram" you must have a source for that. Or how else would you know that Z = Zimmermann? A very good assumption on your part, but still an assumption.
I do have this from Ellis Island:
- First Name: Frank Wilber
- Last Name: Wead
- Ethnicity: U.S.A.
- Last Place of Residence: New York City
- Date of Arrival: Oct 16, 1917
- Age at Arrival: 22y Gender: M Marital Status: M
- Ship of Travel: Zeelandia
- Port of Departure: Rio de Janeiro
- Manifest Line Number: 0019
So, it looks like he was "down south" in 1917. So, it would be nice to find out more about 1917.

PS: He also came back from England in 1923, most likely from the aviation races:
- First Name: Frank W.
- Last Name: Wead
- Ethnicity: American
- Last Place of Residence: Washington, D.C.
- Date of Arrival: Oct 15, 1923
- Age at Arrival: 28y Gender: M Marital Status: M
- Ship of Travel: Leviathan
- Port of Departure: Southampton
- Manifest Line Number: 0021

[edit] Shwag
Mykej would you mind rewriting the Shwag article based on the sources you have found? It will make it easier for people to fairly evaluate it. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 21:56, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Monsieur, à quoi peut bien servir l'enfant qui vient de naître?
Brilliant, hats off to you Sir. That the nominator didn't understand your point merely underlines its perfection. Nick mallory (talk) 10:58, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
