[edit] KFC

Thanks for clearing that up. Glad to see you removed all references to the hoax from the article. - Tεxτurε 14:50, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ale 8

Great work on the article. Just one question, does Ale 8 not "easily compete" with Coke and Pepsi in central KY? I was under the impression that it did in places like Sharpsburg, Mt. Sterling, Winchester, Georgetown, etc. Youngamerican 17:48, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Ale 8 is certainly popular. But from what I've seen of the shelf space in the stores, I can't imagine that the sales numbers are all that comparable. But I'll check on it. Maybe I can even get some actual sales data. --Tom Allen 22:54, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
You are probably correct. My experience is based more on fairs, festivals, family reunions, and such. But I have seen the interior of few KY grocers. Maybe it should say something about competing in social, if not economic, popularity. Youngamerican 03:39, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Corbin, Kentucky:Temp

The steps are as follows:

  1. Become an admin.
  2. Delete the page at [[Correct title]]
  3. Move the forked content from [[Duplicate title]] to [[Correct title]], placing it on top of the deleted edits.
  4. Undelete the edits at [[Correct title]]. The histories are now merged and edits will appear in chronological order, regardless of original location.
  5. Revert, if necessary, to an older version of [[Correct title]] (this is necessary if [[Duplicate title]] was most recently a redirect, which results in the merged product redirecting to itself.)
  6. Go to [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Duplicate title]] and edit all articles to point to [[Correct title]].
  7. Delete the redirect at [[Duplicate Title]] if it has no practical use, (example: title is "[[Correct title/temp]]").

But really, it's not that difficult. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 16:43, Dec. 18, 2005

Thank you for your reply! That first part—become an admin—I knew I was missing a step in there somewhere! --Tom Allen 04:00, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Upper South

What states are included in the Upper South. Heegoop, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Again, there isn't a universally accepted definition. Generally, though, "Upper South" refers to the "border states" between the Confederacy and the Union in the American Civil War. It's generally used in contrast to Deep South, the definition of which also varies. For me, the "Upper South" would include Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, and perhaps Arkansas and Missouri. And again, it's more of a cultural designation than a strict geographic region. A recent AP story illustrates some of the cultural issues on this. --Tom Allen 17:48, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
