Talk:Sheldon Brown (bicycle mechanic)

message: Anyone know if we can put up a photo of Sheldon?  There are lots on his web site, but I can't find any kind of policy for using material from his site... which is surprising because TONS of people copy images from his site to illustrate technical questions on bikeforums.net.

thread_title:  Photo 

message: I think it would improve this article to delete the heading "Online" and to replace it with at least two other headings along the lines of: "Encyclopedic Efforts" and "Original Work."
Under the "encyclopedic" heading, Mr. Bown's efforts to develop an on-line resource for bicycle specifications, rare parts, etc. could be described.
Under the "original" heading, Mr. Brown's original contributions to bicycling could be described.
To the extent that much of this was posted online could, of course, be mentioned as appropriate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.42.245.81 (talk) 15:30, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sheldon Brown edited Sheldon Brown.  So what? 

message: When I first saw the Death Certificate, I thought that it was inappropriate.  However, I have changed my mind.  Most sources, including the obituary I wrote for Sheldon, contain the wrong date of death (Feb. 3 instead of Feb. 4).  If we do not keep some definitive evidence that Sheldon died on 2/4 linked to the article, people will keep trying to change the date back to 2/3, because that is the date published in most media sources.

thread_title:  Data of Death Confusion 

message: "In August 2007, Brown was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis. He died on February 4, 2008 in Newton, Massachusetts, after a heart attack. Brown was an atheist."
What is the relationship between those sentences? He died as a curse for being atheist? I don't understand.--200.223.199.146 (talk) 13:46, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
