Checklist request

Can you please use {{checklist}}, not the "experimental" template. The trouble with the latter is that it has not been rendered consistent with the former, and display problems have still not been fixed. --Larry Sanger 11:08, 24 April 2007 (CDT)

Yes, I can, sorry about that. --Matt Innis (Talk) 11:18, 24 April 2007 (CDT)

Misspelling in Quote?

Is the misspelling of extremely in the quote from Washington's journal intentional based on his original spelling, or does it need to be corrected? "which I think extreamly well situated for a Fort;" Matt Mahlmann 22:50, 24 April 2007 (CDT)

that was a typo--very good eye! Richard Jensen 23:25, 24 April 2007 (CDT)

Authorship?

Have a care--just looking at the history, it appears to begin with a "move". I cannot tell who wrote this, if it was imported from Wikipedia and "worked on", or what.

I would like to see the original author(s) and editor(s) get credit for their work. Aleta Curry 01:07, 26 April 2007 (CDT)

What's the best place for this type of discussion...?

...if I have niggling or nit-picking questions (or even major ones) and I don't want to make a direct edit but rather initiate discussion, should I bring them up here? Discuss at the History Workgroup's page? Phone Dr Jensen? (just kidding about that one ;) Aleta Curry 01:12, 26 April 2007 (CDT)

Tom Cool is primarily due the credit; he wrote the Wiki article and moved it here and found the wonderful graphics. I split it in two parts and added the bibliography. All praise and rejoicing can go right here. (and people can email me anytime at rjensen@uic.edu and I will respond. (the article history can be found at the History of Pittsburgh talk page, by the way. Richard Jensen 01:39, 26 April 2007 (CDT)
