Wait a minute -- four articles about the same thing? We already have Frontier, The Frontier and American frontier, and some links pointing to a not-yet-written Frontier Thesis (apart from a stub entitled American Old West aka Wild West). Is this necessary? <KF> 21:56, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Frontier and American frontier look like they could be merged...but the Frontier Thesis is an important historical thesis that should be separate (although I suppose it could just be a section of Frontier). Adam Bishop 21:58, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Frederick Jackson Turner.jpg

Just a piece of information copied from the Village pump:

I still can't see Image:Frederick Jackson Turner.jpg on the Frederick Jackson Turner page. This has happened before (about a year ago or so), and back then I uploaded the image for a second time. Now the same thing has happened again.

Please don't tell me it's displayed fine on your screen. This doesn't help a lot. I'd still like to find out what is wrong here. <KF> 00:53, Dec 26, 2004 (UTC)

Religion: Turner Miss something about Turner's Religion, which often influences opinions of men a lot. To judge if it did or not should be left to the reader by handing out the information.

Doesn't work on mine either, I think I caught a glimpse of it before it disappeared. I deleted it :) Hopefully that'll grab the attention of one of the mods who knows how to work the image thinger.

And after experimenting it has nothing to do with the tagging. Beats the heck out of me! <iamnafets> 11:02, Jan 31, 2005 (CST)


...we can't find a less pixelated shot of the frontier man here?

Turner's religion. None of the biographers suggest it was important. Rjensen 09:41, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
