- Thank you. Um... is this where I reply, or do I go to your talk page? I guess I'll be finding out. ;-) AdmN 04:21, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- I usually reply on the other person's page, because that trips their "new messages" flag, but other people prefer to keep original note and replies together. There's no rule on which is preferred. BTW, it's often more interesting to work on subjects where you're less expert - a chance to indulge those side interests and hobbies. And are the articles on all the places you've lived accurate representations about those places? Stan 15:57, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- As a matter of fact, I'm looking into writing something for the Philadelphia neighborhoods of Roxborough (which has a stubpage) and Manayunk (which has nothing). My fear is that a list of the best places to get cheesesteaks in these two areas may not be properly encyclopedic. ;-) AdmN 22:19, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- :-) But you've still got questions like: who founded them, and why? where do the names come from? Were they independent towns, and if so, when were they absorbed? Are any famous people from them? What about companies or industries? Is there bio information for the founders? Once you start pulling on the threads, lots of "encyclopedic" info starts surfacing... Stan 22:38, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
