Talk:Paul R. Williams

message: Merging Paul Revere Williams (1894-1980) with this page sounds like a good idea to me. cbustapeck 17:42, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. It appears to be mostly copied from this article . I'm just going to make it a redirect. If you see anything from the source article that looks good then we can add it in our own words. -Will Beback 18:51, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging [[Paul Revere Williams (1894-1980)]] with this page 

message: This article states that Williams was born February 18, 1894, and married on June 27, 1917.  Who's Who in America 1964 (presumably relying on info given by Williams himself) gives his date of birth as February 18, 1896, and his marriage date as June 27, 1922.
Is there a reference supporting the earlier dates, or are they just wrong?  Or, alternatively, did Williams use the later years of birth and marriage to make himself seem younger? Kestenbaum 16:42, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Update.  I see that the Via magazine profile gives his YOB as 1894.  The other online reference is 404. Kestenbaum 16:44, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The book by Hudson [his grand daughter] listed in the references uses the 1894 date too. Carptrash 21:37, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Age discrepancy? 

message: Paul Williams contributed to the design of the LAX Theme Building and I believe it should be mentioned in the section on notable structures.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theme_Building

replies: text: My understanding is that Williams did some of the engineering work. While the buildig is very notable and visible, Williams' participation may be too minor to be worth noting. OTOH, there is an urban legend that he designed it so it might be worth mentioning it so that the record is set straight and so that readers won't assume it's an erroroneous omission.  ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 22:15, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: That appears to be just an opinion piece. I don't see what we coould add from it.   Will Beback  talk   00:05, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't get me wrong, it's always nice to find new sources. But I suspect that this source mostly draws from other sources that we alsready use. But we might want to add some more of the details about the subject, such as his trick of sketching upside down so his clients could see the drawing as he drew it.   Will Beback  talk   04:21, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

text: It looks like you found it. <ref name="Las Vegas Review Journal"> Is that what you wanted?   Will Beback  talk   05:57, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: But what if you're using the same reference, but a different page, or a different quote, or want to include another note? How do I do that without repeating the entire reference, or is that the only way? ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:00, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
