George, are you proposing a shared account? That would violate the Wikipedia rules: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Username#Sharing_accounts I don't think an individual contributing under the name of a Google discussion group would be a good idea either. A better way to establish credibility is via your Wikipedia user page, or the Discussion section of the article you're editing. Include some links to your writings on the subject and you'll get credibility. Regarding that lunars article, I question a couple of the categories at the bottom of the page. "Navy stubs" and "Geodesy"? In there anything specifically naval about lunars? -- I block messages that contain attachments or HTML. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to NavList@fer3.com To , send email to NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
