Talk:Russell Coffey

message: Someone explain to me why this needs to be here:
William Seegers was a German-born American who served in the German army. He died on July 10, 2007, leaving just four remaining WWI veterans living in the U.S.
That sentence:
A)Only makes sense if you came from the Surviving Veterans of WWI page
B)Has nothing to with Russell Coffey now that Seegers is deceased
C)Is arbritary. Why not discuss the countdown when there were six or eight or twelve living veterans in the United States?

Talk:Rusty Hevelin

message: I would like to see more than anecdotal evidence that Rusty "dated" Coretta Scott King.  Rusty's ex-wife Elsie (who was also acquainted with Ms. Scott during her time at Antioch) has confirmed to me (personal conversation, 2012-07-28) that Rusty and Ms. Scott were friends and that they occasionally danced together at Antioch Div Dances, but she doesn't think they "dated" in the conventional use of the term.  I was a member of Rusty's household from 1952–64, a period encompassing the early Civil Rights Movement and the rise of Dr. King to prominance, and I cannot recall him ever mentioning Ms. Scott—and although Elsie mentioned her from time to time, she never said anything like, "Remember when you used to go out with her, dear?"

thread_title: Rusty and Coretta Scott King

message: In 1952, Rusty married Elsie Jane Owen (1923–), daughter of G.E. Owen, professor of physics at Antioch College.  Rusty was Elsie's third husband.  Her first husband, Captain Max Eldon Liming (1922–43), was killed on a night bombing run over Germany.  In 1945, Elsie married Sergeant Robert Lee Kelso (1921–63) and had two sons by him, John Owen Kelso (1946–) and Andrew Scott Kelso (1948–2011).  Bob and Elsie were divorced in 1950.  Rusty and Elsie had two sons, James Bruce Hevelin (1953–) and Will Hevelin (1955–), and in 1954, Rusty adopted John and Scott.  Rusty and Elsie were divorced in 1974.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/ADERANT

message: I was asked by User:Dhaluza to give an accounting of my rationale for closing this afd as a delete result.
This AfD was rather decidedly a close, in my opinion; the best keep argument was voiced by Dhaluza at the very end of the debate, and so perhaps did not have much of a chance to draw as much influence as it merited.
I disallowed most of the keep arguments because the majority fell either into WP:ILIKEIT territory ("seems prominent enough to warrant an article") or cited the fact that the article was referenced, despite the fact that almost every reference was generated by the subject of the article. Those arguing keep never responded to the rather good point made by User:Rossami that the vast majority of Google News hits for the subject arose from press releases as well. I counted a 12:2 or perhaps a 12:3 consensus in favor of deletion. A Traintalk 21:20, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good call.  As I keep telling people, consensus is never all about the numbers, the merits of the arguments need to be weighed up (which is precisely why we no longer cast the title as "votes").  Chris cheese whine 21:38, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I'm still not happy with the process--going from A7 to WP:N without a tag. I'm fairly confident that a little research in a Law or Business library would turn up additional sources. I may check if I get a chance. The original author has left WP as a result of this, and despite his checkered record, this is a bad trend I see too often. But I have not decided whether this should go to DRV yet.... Dhaluza 21:24, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Talk:Ruth Marcus (journalist)

message: There's recently been a slow and polite edit conflict between one birth date and another. I've no reason to think that either side didn't mean the best, but neither date has come with any evidence. When I look for evidence even for the year (let alone the date), I see nothing that's particularly credible; instead, just dodgy web pages whose meagre content could well have been derived from earlier states of the Wikipedia article. I have therefore removed day, month and year of her birth.
Hurried editors should be careful not to confuse this person (said to have been born in 1958) with the journalist and photographer Ruth Marcus, who was born in 1958.
Pinging General Ization. -- Hoary (talk) 23:37, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure why you're pinging me.  I have reverted two edits here.  was obvious vandalism, and  was lacking a valid source for its claim that the subject is a deputy editorial page editor for the Washington Post and a change to her political affiliation. The fact that the second also changed her birth date without citing a reliable source was coincidental, but also supported its reversion, whether or not a source was cited for the original birth date.  See WP:BURDEN.  General Ization Talk    00:02, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The pinging wasn't meant to imply criticism, General Ization. This article indeed has a history of vandalism. (This talk page has a history of stupidity, too.) Thank you for battling against it. In a context of vandalism, you might well have assumed that a change of birth date was another, minor example of vandalism. Possibly it was. But the date that was changed from is no more credible than is the date that was changed to. I thought you might like to be alerted to this. I hope you agree with my removal of year and month, and of course day. -- Hoary (talk) 08:41, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

message: 'During this time, Pfau met several times with a Dutch Christian woman, who was a concentration camp survivor and currently dedicated her life to "preaching love and forgiveness".'
'Currently' is odd, and needs fixing. It doesn't fit with the 'past-ness' of the passage, and it isn't clear whether it atttaches to Dr Pfau or to the Dutch woman.

thread_title:  [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Assessment#Class_parameter|Biography assessment rating]] comment 

message: This article is slightly more than 1/3 about two scandals.  In the case of the Cash for Peerages scandal, it all eventually came to nothing.  Of course the Cash for Peerages scandal was a big one, but her role in it is unclear, and the article merely casts doubt on her without actually giving us any real information.  I am not suggesting that everything about Cash for Peerages be removed, just raising the question of undue weight.
The other alleged scandal seems quite different.  We source it only to the Daily Mail, which is not a very good source.  Apparently her husband (boyfriend?) was involved in the awarding of a contract to a company which she'd left beyond 2 years prior.  It seems more like political gossip than an actual scandal.
I will leave this note on the talk page of the article, but I will not get involved with editing it since I am informally advising (as a volunteer only) the Tony Blair Faith Foundation on their Internet strategy and although I don't think this gives me any conflict of interest, I would not want there to be any concern about that.  I merely bring this up as a likely violation of our WP:BLP policies and leave it to your judgment.  The subject of the article did not bring this to my attention, I just noticed it while preparing for a phone call.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 15:26, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm afraid I cannot agree with you with regards to the use of "while". It is redundant given that there is a year at the end of the sentence. Were that to be devoid of a year in that sentence, it could be said to be warranted, but given that it is there you are essentially confirming that a photo is a static and not a live video feed. I don't believe that was your intent for one second. The while could be used were he to playing in a specific game, but given that he is playing for Leeds and the photo tracks back to the year in question, it would appear to be overkill in the extreme. I find it is at odds with your other strongly held position regarding potentially redundant words or phrases.Theanonymousentry (talk) 08:54, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
