A fact from Thomas M. Messer appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 26 April 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that when Thomas M. Messer retired in 1988, after 27 years as director of the Guggenheim Foundation, he had served longer than any other major museum director in New York City?

I increased the assessment to "Start". This is a delightful start to this article. Well done! -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:07, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Would you mind terribly if I moved the refs from the bottom of the article into the text? It helps me keep track of them if editors change the refs in the text. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:19, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Go ahead. But as WP:LDR explains, I think it's better. Thanks for helping with the article! --Dennis Bratland (talk) 04:34, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. I agree that your format is more elegant, but I have had difficulty working with it in the past - even though this looks more cluttered, I find it easy to edit. I think it's cause I'm old! :-) -- Ssilvers (talk) 06:05, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
