# Talk:Red Weiner

Nice work on this. Reminds me of Charles Assmann that I created in 2014 and expanded yesterday. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 20:02, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Sorry if I'm bugging you but here is a picture I found of Mr. Red Weiner. I'll let you decide if you wish to upload or not. That's weird we were both working on silly name articles at the same time. I've been going through some of my old stubs alphabetically and expanding them. Charles Assmann was next on the list. Thanks, ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:16, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
Nevermind, looks like you just uploaded one. Though I suppose you could still add it to the body if you wanted. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:17, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
Would the picture you linked be in the public domain? (I know stuff from I think 1930 and before are PD-expired, but I'm less familiar with how image copyrights stand for years after that...) Also, I came across Weiner when I was reading an article (ref 61) that mentioned his extremely obscure distinction as the "last Eagles quarterback to throw for two touchdowns on four or fewer pass attempts in a game" until Tanner McKee last week :) BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:23, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
Oh cool. I'm not 100% sure if it's public domain or not. I just see people upload pictures like this sometimes, like this one that was uploaded to one of my creations today. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:28, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Most images properly licensed
Except for File:Benny Friedman.jpg I do not believe that he took this picture in 1951. I'd bet that he bought the photo for his collection and later scanned it.
I cut that image from the article.

Done.
Can any of Weiner's high school accomplishments be confirmed by original newspaper stories?
I didn't see any newspaper stories from 1926-1930 verifying the specific facts, though a few of them (e.g. this) describe him as a top baseball player, so I think his accomplishments are probably true. For some of them I do say things like "he recalled being named all-state" or "He said that he batted .475 as a senior", rather than plainly saying that he did them, given that I haven't located verifying contemporary sources. Some papers from that time, such as the World-Telegram that named him athlete of the year, do seem to be offline as well. Let me know what you think.
I saw that you quoted him, but I wasn't sure if you'd tried to verify them.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 08:53, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
Spot checked cites 9–10, 20, 23, 31, 41, 52, 61, 73, 102
Are the Reading Keys worth a red link?
They received a good deal of coverage in the state papers so I'd think they're notable.

Thanks for the review. Will get to this hopefully by Sunday. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:35, 25 October 2025 (UTC)
@Sturmvogel 66: I responded to your points. I also decided to expand the lead. Let me know what you think. Thanks, BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:17, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
It's a little over-detailed for my taste, but nothing actually objectionable. Perfection is not the goal here!--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 08:53, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
