Tower of the Americas

Where did you get the 750 ft statistic for the height of the Tower of the Americas? The Handbook of Texas Online says 622 ft. I will have to revert without proper source -Thanks Nv8200p talk 15:12, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if this is the proper way to respond. The 750 ft. height is from frommers.com and sanantoniocvb.com among other sites.

Most articles do seem to refer to the 750 ft. height. By the way, nice additions and edits on the HemisFair '68 article. -Thanks Nv8200p talk 13:58, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alamodome turf

Alas, an answer to your question. The 2006 Alamo Bowl media guide (p. 16) includes a note that the 2004 renovations made to the [[Alamodome] included the installation of the new SportField. See the article for the link to the source. Clipper471 10:46, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Ambassador Program is looking for Campus Ambassadors in Houston

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian connected with the University of Houston. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at another Houston school, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live in Houston and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:22, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
