Homer D. Calkins

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Homer D. Calkins, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. -FisherQueen (Talk) 18:24, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That studio portrait looks fine. It's his wedding picture. Did he publish it commercially? (I know, Wikipedia has tons of image rules, it takes long time to learn them). -N 11:16, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The whole nine yards

Your Access Newspapers find from 1855 is remarkable! This is going to completely turn whole-nine-yards scholarship topsy-turvy! Seriously, there's been a lot of attention given to this phrase, and I think this story may indeed be the origin. I plan to share this with the American Dialect Society on their listserv. Would you like me to use your real name, rather than just Conn53victor? John M Baker (talk) 19:28, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
