On 7 February 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Earnest Elmo Calkins, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that a corset company's sales increased greatly when a pioneering photo ad (example pictured), created by Earnest Elmo Calkins, appeared on the back cover of a woman's magazine? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

"Town marshal" most certainly was a title, used interchangably in 1881 with chief of police. Town marshal was probably more commonly used, but I see both in testimony from the time. Note that marshal is spelled with one l. The name Marshall has two ll's (though of course from the same source).
Do you know of any backup for he odd testimony that Billy Clanton was moved to the doctor's before he died? All testimony I've seen keeps in the house where he was first taken.
Incidentally, the Harwood House is this house where all the bodies and wounded went, and it was at the corner of Fremont and 3rd, closest to Tom (which is probably why they took him there). A house identified as the Harwood house sits at that corner NOW, but if it's the original one, it has since been removed and replaced, since it isn't in the 1908 photo. There were two houses west of Fly's in 1881 (two are seen in an 1882 photo, and one Spicer witness mentions two-- I can't say which at the moment), and Billy was shot next to the McDonald assay house, which was the one just West of Fly's. Perhaps not a residence, or a poor one. You can see the one just west in in the 1888 Sanborn map in the article (probably this one), and the Harwood house on the corner (and larger) is missing even then! Cheers.

I probably added most of the links you worked hard to disambiguate during my major copy edit project on the article this weekend. I had planned to work through the links tonight but you beat me to it....thank you, that was hard work but was also very well done. I did not however, add the dablinks template to my own unfinished work; the article was tagged for that more quickly then I expected it to be. Thanks again for slogging through those links and sorting them out, you did a great job. Sincerely, Veriss ( talk) 06:54, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
On 29 March 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Thomas Fitch (politician), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Thomas Fitch was the lead attorney in defending Morgan, Virgil, and Wyatt Earp, along with Doc Holliday, when they were indicted for murder after the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Thanks for the DYK review. If you're going to be doing any more DYK work, I highly recommend using one of the tools which I mentioned, especially DYKcheck. Installing it is the easiest way to use it, but it can also be used without installation: User:Shubinator/DYKcheck#Using DYKcheck. Anyways, thanks again. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 23:48, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi mate, thank you for reviewing my work on various articles. I will review the article about Wyatt Earp as that particular character seems to be very interesting. As for your feedback, I don't quite know how to archive my messages, so if you could direct me to the relevant instructions, I would be grateful for it. Canpark ( talk) 09:34, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Regrettably, I must inform you that I have delisted Wyatt Earp. See the history on its talk page for an explaination. I have also quickfailed Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. You may contest either of these decisions at WP:GAR if you have any question. Before you do make sure you are acquainted with WP:WIAGA.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 07:09, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
On 18 April 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Rescue of Bat 21 Bravo, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that during the 11½ day rescue of Bat 21 Bravo, the Americans flew an average of 90 sorties a day to protect their airman, hitting the NVA with over 800 air strikes in direct support of his rescue?

Hi Btphelps, just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled right to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles.

For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Sadads ( talk) 13:47, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
