Talk:Kathy Whitmire

message: While I know a lot of the info in this article is "common knowledge" to anyone living in the Houston area during the 1980s/1990s, it still needs to be reliably sourced per WP:BLP -- something it is sorely lacking right now. --nsaum75¡שיחת!‎ 03:27, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Additional sourcing 

message: Your recent edits have introduced a number of errors in the article trying to call template , which doesn't exist. I think you might have meant to use , but I'm not sure. Can you fix those links? Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:53, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I am in the process of uploading a general rewrite of the article, so the erroneous calls have been fixed. I noted the comment on your home page regarding rewrites, but after attempting to simply edit this article, I decided that a complete overhaul was more desirable. In my opinion, the original did not convey the historical significance of the subject. (I have simply hidden the original text for comparison - I will delete it in the future. Meanwhile interested readers may view it by putting the page in Edit mode). Bruin2 (talk) 17:07, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: That's all perfectly fine, of course. It just looked to me as though you were finished with your rewrite but had miskeyed the name of the template, so I just meant to call your attention to it. I've been patrolling pages with reference errors and this one came up. Cheers. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 17:09, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

message: The article said that McConn lost to Heard and Whitmire in the primary. This is incorrect, due both to an errant source (ourcampaigns.com) and a previous Wikipedian's misunderstanding of the source. Houston mayoral elections are nonpartisan, therefore there is no primary election for them. Heard and Whitmire each got more votes than McConn in the general election on November 3, 1981, but neither got a majority, so it went to a runoff between Whitmire and Heard. I have corrected this in the article. The Christian Science Monitor article on the election which had already been cited by this paragraph of the Wikipedia article already had the correct information, so it was unnecessary for me to provide a new source. 73.166.250.111 (talk) 16:27, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

message: Did Anthony Hall and Judson Robinson support the Straight Slate? I think not. I remember Judson Robinson had a Straight Slate opponent. Robinson sent me a satirical mailing about how his opponent wanted to prevent gays from playing softball with young people - a solution to all the city's problems. A source, please.
