[edit] Reminders and ToDo Lists

baby boom--baby Boom--Baby Boom (film)--baby boom's all snarled up, redirect is to film in health articles, etc. Needs someone to check what directs here, and fix links, or move article back, or somesuch. (I'me mad ea big dent)

1. Metrology — cleanup requests a thourogh dumbing down to lay reader
2. 060422--Customary_measurement_systems and This] — no one has run with this ball in a month, so get back and expand.
3. Polio — dumbify intro and mention FDR in introbody. Does not even begin to give the horror of the disease and fear. too clinical.
4. Need an Article 'Recreational boating'
5. Dredge article with much information badly in need of rewrite
6. Update Alternate history (fiction) - w/1632 series
