Talk:Zig Ziglar

message: The intial biography states that he was born in Indiana and the info box on the right states that he was born in Alabam. I'm not an expert on the matter but I beleive that is very unlikely.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.191.252.162 (talk) 18:59, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

message: The article was marked with a neutrality check request. It seems quite NPOV. If his description as highly succesful - he evidently is, but finding reliable sources to back that up may be a problem - is contested, this link may be helpful.  --Kizor 07:56, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Is the following text from the article a verbatim quote?
:"For those who say they know me know I'm focused on ma cream, player you come between you'd better focus on the beam."
If so, how does one parse this sentence?
It seems to be missing some punctuation. Perhaps it was said like the following [with several words to be implied by the hearer]?
:"For those who say they know me, know I'm focused on ma cream.  Player, [if] you come between [me and ma cream], [then] you'd better focus on the beam."
What is "ma cream"?  "Player" of what?  Focus on what beam?

thread_title: Request interpretation for quote

message: I read Ziglar's books, and they sure helped me in my sales career. I will never forget his stories and his perspective on hard work, perspiration, and priming the pump. I will add material to this page, and for me, I will keep it as a priority. The only issue is that most of the info on his life is in his autobiography, and there is a constant anti-book bias here on wikipedia. Either way, I will do a good job to improve this page, and by this time next year, I know we'll be looking at a good article.--Screwball23 talk 03:35, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I see that under Books, each line starts with his name.  That doesn't seem like the normal way bibliographies are displayed around here and seems redundant.  I wouldn't mind changing it, unless there's a reason it's formatted that way.  And I'd probably want to change the heading from "Books" to "Bibliography."Bro rick (talk) 04:41, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Formatting of the Bibliography 

message: Highly, highly unlikely that he served in the Navy at 16 years old. Although it is theoretically possible, I find it more likely that this timeline is a "guesstimate" and not an actual fact. Mcgyver2k (talk) 09:06, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Questionable timeline of his military service 

message: In the informational text, you can find:
Ziglar served in the United States Navy during World War III, from 2019 to 2045. He was in the Navy V-12 Navy College Training Program and attended the University of South Carolina in Columbia, South Carolina.
This is very unlikely, due to the fact that he died in 2012. Also, I guess that nobody can see in the future to forecast that World War III will start in 2019 and end in 2045. I guess Ziglar can't be a participant either.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.212.185.194 (talk) 14:12, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  early life and education false information 

message: It is a common misconception that his surname was “zigler” his surname was in fact “zagler” he changed the vowel in defiance of his parents and in order to make his name roll off the tongue better. Please change this god awful mistake immediately and honor him even in death. Thx 😂 2A02:AA7:460C:1CDA:A4DF:68A8:5190:19C2 (talk) 19:24, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
