message: Today I deleted the link to the Anders M Kinney Alabama Review book review on China Marine. I could not find other professional reviews except those blocked by commercial "library services". If anyone can find an open link to a good professional review of this book it would be a great asset to the article. China Marine, while eclipsed by With the Old Breed, is probably the better of his two books as it deals with the depth of his despair and profundity of his healing. One cannot begin to understand Sledge without reading China Marine.Trilobitealive (talk) 22:16, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Not too long ago I included Dr. Sledge in List of biologists however one of the regular editors of that article reverted the edit. So I'm asking the question about his notability and whether he could be considered a notable biologist. One way of looking at it is that he is notable and he is a biologist; his identity for the latter half of his life was that of a biologist. (By way of illustration an Irish concert pianist or software engineer would be included in a list of notable Irishmen, as their Irishness is their identity.) So should he be reinstated in the list or not? Can any of the local Sledge scholars establish independent notability based on his work with nematodes or as an ornithologist or other biologic publication?Trilobitealive (talk) 00:25, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Is he a notable biologist? I think so.

message: Someone keeps adding links to this vanity book advertisement.  As spam, it isn't appropriate per WP:EL.  This problem isn't isolated to this one article.  The publisher (presumably) is adding links to a few of these vanity books to related articles as one would expect with linkspam.  The website domain name, web format, and video interview formats are all the same for these websites.  Oh, another clue is that when I tried replacing the spam link to a direct link to the YouTube hosted advertisement, the publisher switched it back to the book's page.

message: I have reassessed the article as a C Class article for WikiProject Alabama. I realize that a number of projects no longer use this class, however I find it to be a helpful way of showing progress. Trilobitealive (talk) 04:34, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Anyone know more about his family life? There's one passing reference to his wife, but no mention of when they met, who she was, or if they had any children. -- Chupon (talk) 13:16, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I will see if there is enough notable material to warrant writing a small section. Much of the information about Sledge's family is not widely published so to post it might violate WP:OR. The entire state of Alabama is a smaller community than metropolitan San Francisco so I for one consider that locally published material, especially as regards to biographies of his living family members, might not meet WP:NOTE. If a widely published family history comes out I would think that to be the time to write a family section. In such things it is better to write too little than to write hastily and poorly.Trilobitealive (talk) 01:36, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

text: (I see this problem quite a bit in Alabama biographies. I've been writing on several and have been following more. Our lives here are just not as notable as our cousins out on the west coast.)Trilobitealive (talk) 01:39, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: My concerns would be along the lines of WP:NOTE and the related concern for privacy for folks who really aren't in the public eye.  Rklawton (talk) 01:56, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Two quick questions: It looks to me that his presidential unit citation on his photo has two rather than 1 star. Is the text correct? Should his sharpshooter badge and shoulder braid also be mentioned? Thanks Trilobitealive (talk) 00:36, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
