This may not have been your intention, but what you [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AGeber&diff=244023221&oldid=243991805 recently did] at [[Talk:Geber]] was ''de''-archiving, not archiving. You essentially moved all the previously archived discussions from the archive page back into the main talk page. You probably just made a mistake, so I've reverted your edits there. -[[User:Kotra|kotra]] ([[User talk:Kotra|talk]]) 00:56, 9 October 2008 (UTC) |

Hershey is home of the 2006 and nine-time Calder Cup champion [[Hershey Bears]] of the [[American Hockey League]]. The Bears, one of the oldest hockey teams in existence and one of the few remaining original teams of the AHL, played in the [[Hersheypark Arena]] for over six decades and have made [[GIANT Center]] their home since 2002. |
|||
Thanks for letting me know what happened to my talk comment on the Dorset/Sadlermiut question. Seeing you're from RI, I wonder if you are aware that a couple of the more important archaeological collections pertaining to Eskimo prehistory (Cape Krusenstern and Onion Portage)are actually at the Arctic lab at the Haffenreffer Museum in Bristol (now closed pending relocation), though they rarely go on display. |

Hershey was once home to the [[Hershey Wildcats]] of the [[USL First Division|A-League]]. This professional [[soccer]] team was folded after the 2001 season by its owners, who decided that it would not be successful financially. The Wildcats were named after a popular [[Wild Cat (Hersheypark)|roller-coaster]] in [[Hersheypark]]. Hershey was also home to the [[Hershey Impact]] over the [[AISL]] [[indoor soccer]] league. |
|||
I'd really like to see the whole Dorset article rewritten, but preferably by a Canadian archaeologist since they would most likely be up-to-date on recent unpublished finds. |

[[National Basketball Association|NBA]] [[basketball]] player [[Wilt Chamberlain]] scored 100 points in a [[Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game|game]] played at Hersheypark Arena in 1962; his effort remains a single-game record for the league. |
|||
Surprisingly, while there are entries on, e.g., Independence I and Saqqaq, there is no entry on Pre-Dorset, though it is the earliest culture in most of the Eastern Canadian Arctic and probably ancestral to -- but clearly distinct from -- Dorset. Wonder why? |

Dorset
Thanks for letting me know what happened to my talk comment on the Dorset/Sadlermiut question. Seeing you're from RI, I wonder if you are aware that a couple of the more important archaeological collections pertaining to Eskimo prehistory (Cape Krusenstern and Onion Portage)are actually at the Arctic lab at the Haffenreffer Museum in Bristol (now closed pending relocation), though they rarely go on display.
I'd really like to see the whole Dorset article rewritten, but preferably by a Canadian archaeologist since they would most likely be up-to-date on recent unpublished finds.
Surprisingly, while there are entries on, e.g., Independence I and Saqqaq, there is no entry on Pre-Dorset, though it is the earliest culture in most of the Eastern Canadian Arctic and probably ancestral to -- but clearly distinct from -- Dorset. Wonder why?
