[edit] Move "Elizabeth Hodges" --> "Ann Hodges"

Most sources, including all of the primary sources I found, such as newspaper articles and the website of the museum which has the Hodges meteorite, give the subject's name simply as "Ann Hodges". Those which say "Elizabeth Hodges" are secondary sources at best.

I propose moving this page to Ann Hodges. Jonathunder 02:02, 2004 Dec 1 (UTC)

[edit] Another move

The sources for this article tell us Ms. Hodges was a shy person and was uncomfortable with the publicity she was thrust into as a result of being struck by the meteorite. Wikipedia policy has changed since this article was written, and biographical articles for people famous for only one event, as she was, are now discouraged. It would take only a little revision to make the subject of this article the Sylacauga Meteorite and move it to that title. If there is no serious objection, I will do that.

I have revised the article and moved it to Hodges Meteorite, which is what most sources name it. Little rewriting was needed, as the article was already more about the meteor than the life of the unfortunate woman who was hit by it. Jonathunder (talk) 02:02, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
