'Do' would do

Hi, I think your first edit in Goedel is not needed since "would" is implied hense omitted just before "do" in the phrase ..., but Gödel would often ignore his doctors' advice or even (would) do the opposite of what his prescription indicated. Correct me, if I am wrond. Thanks Trifon Triantafillidis 18:01, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I think this way is better. Trifon Triantafillidis 08:02, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Military brat

Hi Jeffhoy... I just saw you made a correction on this article... I was coming to thank you when I noticed your talk page, " I have have made minor updates to several hundred articles; generally I correct grammar, spelling, and clarity (like double negatives) while reading through topics that interest me." So instead of thanking you, I'm going to ask you to feel free to work on this article... those are my weaknesses and I could use all the help I can get ;-)Balloonman 22:14, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Balloonman- I'd be happy to. I see you list your new articles on your user page and I will take a close look over each of them when I get back from vacation in 2007. Although, to be honest, the Military Brat page is already excellent and that spelling change was the only fix I noticed in a quick pass. Jeffhoy 14:43, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'm trying to get it to FA quality... which is a bear... SandyGeorgia is a superb editor and it doesn't reach her standards... so, I'm really working on it... as for the other articles, don't worry about them too much... some of them, I've created and haven't watched too closely. I know one of them (Shaolin-Do) has, unfortunately, turned into a blog/advocacy article. But, yeah, I could use help with the proof reading of this article and if you can't do it until 2007, that's fine... Sandy has given me a few suggestions that will make post Christmas ideal.Balloonman 16:07, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Balloonnman- I've reviewed the Military Brat page in full and made a number of minor updates. It might be worth taking a quick look over them to verify the changes make sense. I also have a number of additional suggestions that you may wish to make depending on your preference, listed here:

In two places you define culture ("Culture is the.." and "The American Heritage..."). There is a good Wikipedia page on culture, so I would recommend removing these definitions and just linking the word "culture" when it is used.
Regarding language reclimation, you list a number of other perjorative and ethnic terms that are being reclaimed. While this is important detail, the inclusion of (historically) negative words interrupts the professional tone of the article. So I would recommend replacing the specific terms with the text "to reclaim perjorative terms (link to Category:Pejorative terms for people) and ethnic slurs (link)". The list of already fully reclaimed words seemed to flow just fine (Methodist, Tarheel, etc.)
You mention "Over two thirds of brats over 40 are married to their first spouse" but don't mention the ratio of married civilians at the same age. This would be useful context to add meaning.
You mention "more families are forced to live off-base" regarding the rise in married couples. Using 'forced' here implies living off-base is a bad thing. Is it? If not, I'd recommend just saying 'more families live off-base'.

Feel free to contact me in the future if I can help! Jeffhoy 20:59, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
