Question regarding US Military terms of addressHi, I hope you don't mind me contacting you out of the blue. I noticed you were the most frequent editor of the US Military portal, so I hope you can answer my question. I have a vague surety that in one of the branches, all officers (male or female) are addressed as "Sir". But, I can't remember which branch. And I can't seem to devise a set of search terms/criteria that can tell me which branch it is. Do you know? If not, do you know where I can find out? I'd appreciate any help or guidance. Thank you, --ktoonen 19:00, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Well, from an unlikely source, I think I may have figured out what I was thinking. You can chuckle, but promise not to thwap me too hard, ok? <grin> So, I was watching the first episode of the TV show Star Trek: Voyager. In it, Captain Janeway comments that she doesn't believe in the "normal Starfleet" proceedure of calling female officers "Sir". So, that "US Military Branch" might just have been Starfleet. <ahem> This is what comes of reading too much Sci-Fi and watching TV. I'd never really watched Voyager before, but I've watched Star Trek and its spin-offs over the years. I also read some of the novels as part of a genre study. So, I'm betting it slipped into my subconscious. Since I've always thought the Federation was modeled on US governmental ideals, I guess I reversed my metaphor and remembered a US government military organization... Maybe this is *really* what comes of being too easily distracted by randomness. <grin> Ah well.

I think by changing the capitalization, I messed-up the auto-linking ability... I can blame an internship at Argonne National Laboratory for my being in IL. While there I meet someone and got married. I grew up outside Amarillo and went to school outside Dallas. My sister now lives in Austin. So those are the parts of the state I know. I only graduated with my MLIS in December, so I'm sort of burned out on LIS-speak. Job hunting probably isn't helping. Thanks for pointing out the Wikipedia LIS project, but I think I'll wait a while... I have discovered if I'm hallucinating or if one of the branches of military calls all officers, regardless of gender, "Sir". If/When I do find out, I'll let you know.

I would like to find the unicode for the Greek Iota, most specifically like Image:Greek uc iota.png (first choice) or Image:Greek lc iota.png (second). It's for my sig.

FL Main page proposalYou either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination recently. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual content will resemble the current content at the featured content page. Such output would probably start at the bottom of the main page. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:34, 13 October 2007 (UTC) User WarningsJust a quick note: remember to use
