Talk:Danny Watts

message: Hi everyone!
I'm rather new here and this is the first page I've ever worked on and I wanted to start a discussion because I've seen some worrying trends on this page. It seems that multiple people/IPs keep changing the personal life section and not providing any sort of references. This is particularly worrying as this is a BLP of an LGBT athlete who's coming out was particularly notable for his sport. 
The point of concern is the insistence on adding the word "regrettably" to the sentence about him coming out and the addition of an unsourced sentence about him being in a heterosexual relationship after coming out. The additional sentence even used to say that he was in a homosexual relationship but this was also unsourced.  While this isn't particularly heinous, figures like this should have extra care taken to cite sources. If he is in a relationship with a woman and does 'regret' coming out that is all well and good but it needs a source for verification. This is needed because there are legitimate sources about him coming out and none of them reference 'regret' about coming out. This can be a rather sensitive topic for people and potentially a place for personal opinion to come into the article, so good sources will help maintain a neutral point of view.
I have spent a good chunk of time trying to find more sources about the details of his personal life but nothing has come up beyond his coming out as gay. If someone has some more good sources about his personal life that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone and I hope this can be a productive discussion!

Talk:Fairdale, Illinois

message: Hello - The reason I added the disambiguation note for Fairfield Illinois is that when I was watching the initial coverage of the tornado on the news last night, local (i.e. Chicago) news anchors and meteorologists kept referring to Fairdale as Fairfield, which is downstate. It seemed like having the disambiguation present and obvious would be of help to readers. I would like to put it back unless there is strong objection. Thanks KConWiki (talk) 15:12, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, although adding a hatnote to disambiguate Fairfield and Fairdale would not clutter the page terribly, it doesn't seem necessary either. Just because a local media outlet confused the two, at Wikipedia we should adhere to the Wikipedia:Disambiguation policy first. Perhaps a better way to do that would be to add  to the top, and then at the Fairdale (disambiguation) page, readers will see Fairfield (disambiguation) in the "See also" section.– Gilliam (talk) 15:29, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I am going to leave the disambig note at Fairfield, Illinois, because it seems like a user looking for Fairdale would be more likely to erroneously search for Fairfield than vice-versa. KConWiki (talk) 15:46, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: One other thing about this - Let me just point out the  page views for Fairfield have skyrocketed since the Fairdale incident, so I am glad that we left the Fairdale hatnote at the Fairfield page. Thanks KConWiki (talk) 05:46, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Disambiguation with Fairfield IL

message: I've done as best as I could to develop the history section, and I have the basics of the late 1800s/very early 1900s. However, I was not able to find a lot of citable material on the Web about the 20th Century. So, the history section essentially jumps from the 1890s to the 2015 tornado, which is somewhat awkward. Is there anyone out there with some citable resources about this community during the 20th Century that could help flesh that section out? (Or even leave links or resources here, and I can try to make use of them?) Thanks KConWiki (talk) 17:49, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:East Alton, Illinois

message: Hello!
I am new to editing articles on Wikipedia and am beginning to dip my toes into this process for a Digital Media Literacy class through Arizona State University. I live in East Alton, so I chose to review the article on the town for this Wikipedia assignment.
While reading the article, I noticed the section titled "Industry" mentions the Olin Corporation and their impact on East Alton, but doesn't mention the groundwater contamination at the Olin plant or the EPA's proposed cleanup plan.
While this information appears on the Olin Corporation Wiki page, I think it should also appear on East Alton's page. I do have a credible source to cite for the edit.

Talk:Elwood, Illinois

message: The Northern Illinois Planning Commission estimates that Elwood will have a population of nearly 20,000 by 2030.
As the 2020 census indicated a 2.2 percent population decrease, the above projection now seems to be grossly optimistic.  Also, there is nowhere near enough housing within village boundaries to accommodate such a population growth—with one exception, there are no residential real estate vacancies as I write this.  Given current economic circumstances, new housing construction in Elwood seems to be unlikely to occur anytime soon.  Not helping is that commercial development has stagnated, with no new retail operations having opened for several years.
That said, I will reword the above growth estimate statement to indicate the projection was from an earlier time and likely doesn’t reflect reality at this time.

message: Court-martial of Captain McVay
Captain Charles B. McVay III, who had commanded Indianapolis since November 1944, survived the sinking and was among those rescued days later. In November 1945, he was court-martialed and convicted of "hazarding his ship by failing to zigzag". Several things about the court-martial were controversial. There was evidence that the Navy itself had placed the ship in harm's way, in that McVay's orders were to "zigzag at his discretion, weather permitting". Further, Mochitsura Hashimoto, commander of I-58, testified that zigzagging would have made no difference.[26] Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz remitted McVay's sentence and restored him to active duty. McVay retired in 1949 as a rear admiral.[27]  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benjaminikuta (talk • contribs) 11:14, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

At the end of each episode, at the conclusion of the trial of the prime suspect(s), either the wrong person is convicted, or the right person is acquitted, or there is some kind of ambiguity and lack of resolution.
My sense is that this is a deliberate feature of the series, intended by La Plante. It would be great if someone who knows the series better than I do could elaborate on this --- either on the Talk page or in the article itself.
