[edit] Reagan TFA
Hi Sponegfan. I would like to contact you personally regarding placing Ronald Reagan on the main page. As I've clarified on the TFA requests page, I had absolutely no say in the nomination of Nancy Reagan for the main page; Raul chose it randomly and I was only notified because it said so on my watchlist. Therefore, I do not feel that my personal TFA experience should have any weight in the deciding of the Ronald Reagan one. Furthermore, I have been planning this one since it became FA in August. Nancy's came right out of left field and I do not find it appropriate to screw the Ronald Reagan article - a better and more comprehensive article - because Nancy happened to have been chosen a month ago. I totally respect you, but I am asking you, out of the goodness of your heart, to please change your vote to "support". People will be more concerned with the candidates themselves during the election, not so much who the Republicans aspire to be like. If the article is featured on Reagan's birthday as the TFA, I will consider it a personal victory and know that you helped me to acheive it. Thanks. --Happyme22 (talk) 03:06, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for changing your position. The nom looks bit tanked, but I hope something can come of it. Best, Happyme22 (talk) 05:13, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

There is a eight ton rock in Ohio that was removed from the Ohio River. This rock is known as the Indian Head Rock Dating back to the early 1800’s, this rock was seen sticking out of the Ohio River and used as a navigational mark for barges along the river. The names of citizens from the town of Portsmouth, Ohio are carved into the rock from the late nineteenth a early twentieth centuries. Some of the names were of well known families from Ohio. They would swim out to the rock, have their picture taken with it or simply carve their names into it.
With the advent of the Locks and Dams along the Ohio River, the rock eventually was submerged, but the legend lived on. A gentleman from Ironton, Ohio located the rock after searching a very long time for it, and he and a crew of scuba divers recovered the rock and took it to the shore to be donated to Ohio for historical value.
After hearing the news about the rock being removed, Kentucky introduced legislation against the removal of the rock. They also want the diver who found it to be prosecuted for removing the rock. Kentucky owns the greatest part of the land the river runs on. Even the Army Corp. of Engineers got involved as to how to move the rock without damaging it. Kentucky wants to have it returned to the river.
