Talk:David Kay

message: Regarding this statement...
"In an interview with National Public Radio, however, Kay revealed that Iraq had been working on weaponizing ricin up until Operation Iraqi Freedom."
The final, published report does not support this claim. Here are the relevant passages...
* The IIS had a series of laboratories that conducted biological work including research into BW agents for assassination purposes until the mid-1990s. ISG has not been able to establish the scope and nature of the work at these laboratories or determine whether any of the work was related to military development of BW agent.
* Under the aegis of the intelligence service, a secretive team developed assassination instruments using poisons or toxins for the Iraqi state. [...] The aim was probably the development of poisons, including ricin and aflatoxin to eliminate or debilitate the Regime's opponents.
* The evidence surrounding Iraq's investigation of ricin for BW purposes is unclear, and thus ISG can offer no definitive conclusion. It is clear that Baghdad had weaponized ricin in at least a limited fashion prior to the first Gulf war. There is at least some evidence of post-war IIS involvement in ricin research and possible human testing, but ISG developed no definitive information with which to confirm reports of post-war production.
* ISG has investigated claims from several sources that work on ricin toxin continued well past 1992, possibly until the beginning of OIF. The information that ISG obtained on the potential role of ricin in Iraq's BW program post 1991 has primarily been based on single source reporting of unclear veracity.
I can't provide specific page numbers because I'm quoting from a plain text version of the report.  ~ smb 23:14, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:David Koepp

message: It would be interesting and beneficial to readers if some information was provided as to who influences Koepp as a screenwriter or who his "friends" are in the business...for instance, I read on imdb that Andrew Kevin Walker asked Koepp to read a Se7en draft, or something to that effect. Information like that would be helpful for those who are looking for similar screenwriters. For instance, for the Meisner technique wiki, a list of actors who follow it is included. Does Koepp follow McKee's story idea, or Field's structure, or another prevalent system? More information of this type would be great! 147.4.229.84 07:27, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:David Korten

message: "Author John Michael Greer has critiqued the book in another direction,[5][6][7] noting that "[i]n place of the sloppy and richly human realities of politics and culture in the world we actually inhabit, The Great Turning offers up a one-dimensional morality play in which Empire and Earth Community are the only options, and the choice between them is a choice between absolute evil leading to planetary suicide, on the one hand, and radiant goodness leading straight on to utopia on the other."
Who is John Michael Greer and why should anyone care what he says?
Actually, I did some research and found that he is some kind of Archdruid. So, the question "why should anyone care what he says?" is even more to the point than I had thought. ---Dagme (talk) 02:22, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed - to quote at such length and detail the opinion of a non-notable individual is a violation of the Neutrality and Undue Weight policies. Considering the nature of Korten's views, I'd expect there would be likely to be some controversy about his position, but it shouldn't be too hard to track down some balanced pro- and anti- opinions from notable sources. In the meantime, I'll remove that paragraph. DaveApter (talk) 15:38, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  John Michael Greer? 

message: Dear Korten article editors, - Although I am an editor here, I try not to remove material from Wikipedia biographies.  However, I would like to point out to you that the second and third entries under "External links" are not currently usable.  The first Dalai Lama link appears to be broken, and the "Conscious Choice" piece does not appear to point to the article in question.  Hopefully you will fix these soon.
As a reader, I would find it helpful if the articles by Korten were moved up from the External links section to the Bibliography; there could then be two sub-headings under Bibliography, "Books" and "Selected articles."  I have seen this done in several Featured Articles – e.g., the Bernard Williams FA divides its Publications section into "Books" and "Selected papers."  Your External links section could then be left for the official website, interviews of Korten, and more articles about his work.  Best, - Babel41 (talk) 05:50, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Talk:David Kreizman

message: I did, at one time, have an item in here about David Kreizman's parents being first cousins. It was not sourced, and it was deleted. As any unsourced item really should be. 
It wasn't meant to be derogatory - I do really, truly believe that I read this in Soap Opera Digest right before the big Tammy/Jonathan story hit. 
One of the big challenges in sourcing ANY soap related articles is that both Soap Opera Digest and Soap Opera Weekly do not archive material online. 
So, it remains out of the article until the "when/if" I can find whether it was printed, and what volume. I just wanted to explain... NickBurns 17:47, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

It is inaccurate to refer to Mr. Leadbetter as the "man who invented the golf instruction industry" because many schools and golf academies similar to the David Leadbetter Golf Academy existed prior to his joining the industry.  For example, in 1983 Jimmy Ballard opened a similar golf school at the Doral Resort in Miami, Florida. http://www.jimmyballardgolf.com/id57.html  The school exists today under Jim McLean.
