I'm started a draft on Walter "Babe" Woollett. I guess it's different from just submitting a page. The "articles for creationbot" changed it into a submitted article page.

Apparently I don't do the koolaid well enough on the references, really not liking Wiki right now!

What happened?

Why isnt Bob Noury on any lists? He was on a coin too, or at least his plane was.

Beefitarian · Post by **Beefitarian** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 8:13 pm

He's on this list twice.

Yeah, I had my pee-pee slapped, too. Gotta put inline
references in to keep the Wiki-popo at bay.

First, you can get him on the list possibly by nominating him on the Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame's website. Second, if you feel he warrants it, you can still create a wikipage for him.

Either way, its not hard to make the pages. Really all the pages I've done have just compiled what's available immediately online with a search, with a few tid bits from books I have.

edit: BTW added the info box to Fern's page.

What can I say? I like big box and I cannot lie...

Either way though, you people are falling behind. I need more info for this one, most of the online stuff is just too vague to get some good dates and times to fill it out.

How are all your non"Neil J Armstrong" pages getting accepted so quickly? Mine are both still pending.

Did you make yourself a wiki account?

Beefitarian · Post by **Beefitarian** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 5:50 am

No. I guess I should have known they would like that better.

Beefitarian · Post by **Beefitarian** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 9:14 pm

I really wonder about wikipidia. It would appear being a integral part of building the Canadarm isn't enough to make a guy worthy of being included.

This suggestion doesn't sufficiently explain the importance or significance of the subject. See the speedy deletion criteria A7 and/or guidelines on biographies. Please provide more information on why the person or group is worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia, and cite reliable, published third-party sources, so that the information in the article is verifiable. Thank you.

Ppffft.

They accepted the other one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_%22Babe%22_Woollett

They created this one:

Being in the Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame, ought to do it
for "notability"!

Gotta play by their rules. Anyways, yes, I'm getting behind
but I seem to be caught up in a series of annual inspections.

I'll take this chick: Vera Elise Strodl Dowling - but seriously, you could only find one girl??? I''m way bit over committed to take on the initial research for names at the moment, however you give me a list of women to work with and I'll take up your challenge on their behalf. As a Ninety-Nine, Whirly-Girl and Women In Aviation member I have several teams of women at my disposal I can call on for help.

Cheers,
Kirsten B.

Thanks!!

Talk to the Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame about that - we're just
trying to populate their list of inductees (get rid of the red links):

Vera Dowling is a good choice Snoopy. Lots of history there.

Molly Reilly was on the list too, albeit under her full name. She was flying DC3's out of the Muni back in the very early days, as was her husband Jack. I never met Molly but heard lots about her from Jack--one of the first women in aviation and she was flying heavy a/c into the North on a full-time basis. I believe their son became a cp. Perhaps he's here and could provide info on both.
