bayou bucket

--Coogru12 (talk) 20:51, 24 November 2008 (UTC)coogru12 I enjoyed the bayou bucket piece. I have spoke with the athletic dept which has pictures of the actual bayou bucket. If you would like to include one of these I think we can get the owner to give you permission.

Hi Richard, just got back home and saw your message. I'm sorry to hear that Thanksgiving wasn't that great for you. I understand what you're going through..I've been there myself. My email is on, drop me a line if you would like to. Take care, Postoak (talk) 05:38, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that

Hey RJN! Thanks for catching the error. I have the article scheduled to be peer-reviewed. I wish to turn this into a featured article, so I appreciate whatever help I can get :) WhisperToMe (talk) 04:39, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Houston colleges merge

There should never be two articles with this much content overlap. Merging or simply deleting one of the articles are the only two viable options. The merge is done, once the deletion goes through shortly, the editors of that article will be free to move it to its new name if there is a consensus to do so. The problem occurred because an editor did a copy-and-paste copy of the article, which kind of messed things up. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 07:40, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Houston, transportation

So, what was wrong with sub-dividing the Transport section? It’s harder to read as it is.
And what was wrong with the piece about the port? Swanny18 (talk) 18:17, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

I haven’t seen an answer to this, so I’ve put the port information back in. If you are unhappy with it, would you care to say why? It seems significant enough to me. Swanny18 (talk) 12:51, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Theater and theatre

Hi! I have done research on this issue, and I must say that in American English "theatre" is generally only preferred when it is involving an institution with that name. American dictionaries and university guidelines overwhelmingly prefer "theater" for non-name uses.

I have often heard statements like what you said, but I have never encountered these rules stated in any reliable sources. If you wish to know where I got this idea from, I will be happy to show you the sources. WhisperToMe (talk) 03:48, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
