Requested articles

Articles to be edited

Edward E. Moore. Needs biographical information, which can be had at "A Biographical Directory of the Indiana General Assembly" vol. 2 1901-1984, and assessment, portal, etc. I am not doing it because I can't access the book from California. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 13:27, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Jaime Laredo. This article urgently needs to be updated indicating that it is of mid to high importance for Indiana. Maestro Laredo, a Grammy winner, is, among many other high profile positions, the president of the jury for the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis. For many years, he was also a distinguished professor of music at Indiana University. Sincerely, Fika Lagom
