Terminology

While I appreciate that using the term "pigskin palace" improves the readability of the entry, it does not seem to strike the right encyclopedic tone. May I suggest one change that? Or, at least, add an entry so those who do not understand the term will be able to learn what it means?

Contrite contributor's comments

Thanks. As you might have guessed, sports is not my forte but I tried to make an honest go of it. I will change the wording to be less informal and more informative for non-sports fans. The heading here, however, need not be so formal. 8*)

Greetings readers --

As a former history student and Hamilton resident, I periodically poke around these pages I wrote or heavily modified while trying not to step on any toes. I'm constantly adding little tidbits drawn from my local history books, my memory and other sources.

Although I think my writing is fairly tight and my information good, I often find Wikipedia encourages me to shorten up articles by breaking them up. Therefore, over the next while I will be hiving of portions of Hamilton, Ontario and making them stand alone pages. I stared with History of Hamilton, Ontario and I will probably create three or so more. What will remain at the main article is a much briefer summary but a link to the full monty.

Being self-aware of my fixation on these sorts of topics, I have gotten into the habit of creating dead links to Wiki articles I know I will eventually get around to writing, e.g., Desjardins Canal. Please don't kill these temporary dead ends.

I've also got ambitions to branch out to neighbouring communities and their related topics. If my energy holds up, Brant County, Ontario and Burlington, Ontario are next on my list. If you have other topics you'd like to see related to Hamilton, Burlington, Brant or my profile, please drop me a line.

Thanks for giving me a positive outlet for my obsessions. 8^)

Hey, I changed the heading sizes a bit. Those =Text= headers are huge, so I changed them to double, and changed the doubles to triples. Everyking 15:20, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
