I'm quite happy to be a mister - it's what the kids at school call me.
If I'm lucky.

Possibly a little more might be better, you could also mention that the name was taken from Ford's son's name. And some mention of the many technical innovations incorporated in the model would help pad out the article.
If you want to write on any of the subjects, it would be helpful if you would claim the subject in the appropriate thread - just in case someone else is thinking of doing the same subject, thus avoiding duplication of effort.

Yes I thought it was short. I'll do some more digging.
As for booking I'll do that from now on - Like your idea of listing the subjects and the Researchers beside them

Hi Wildman;
Would it be possible to add the A-numbers of the completed entries to your list, including the ones already in the guide?

The entries that I have as completed are linked to on the list already. Just click on any of the blue subjects and you should go to the article (if I've done it right
)

Sorry, I should have added that I'm waiting to see what Master B intends to do about the subjects that are already in the guide, whether he wants to just add a link alone or put in a condensed section with a link or something else entirely.

Flanker - make that entry on the Edsel a good'un, I was looking to do that one myself.
OK, I hadn't officially decided this until now: entries that are already in the EG will be represented by a link within a short covering paragraph relating the event to its significance at that time. I will do the covering paragraphs unless anyone particularly wants to.
Wildman - you are an absolute star and I'm glad you're getting involved with this project in such a big way and saving me some stress. Remind me to buy you plenty of 
at some point.

Yeah, I'd had my eye on that one too

Master B, I'll take you up on the offer of - otherwise I might just have to kill you for making me suffer a week and a half of that song going round and round in my head

ps I'll put Whisky's list of entries already in the guide down for you

I had been waiting to do the bits on Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio to see what B had to say. Should I go ahead with a short para on each, then?

Mu Beta Posted Dec 10, 2003
Wildman - yes, please do. They're on my 'master list' already.
Jodan - go ahead. I assumed you were going to do them at some point.

Here's the one on QEII: A2128790
I assume that you only wanted it taking up to the point in the song - ie, no mention of later events?

It is a bit long Shazz. But don't worry - it'll go in the Edited Guide anyway.

I thought it might be - I'll cut it down to bare bones on the story for your project and create another one for the EG...
