Talk:Homer Hickam

message: I really don't appreciate my edit to this article being labeled valdalism, and I have reverted the page to restore the work I put into it... I added tons of valid, factual information, reorganized things, and brought the article up to date, all of which you deleted... The article is about Homer Hickam, NOT Frieda Riley, who has her own Wikipedia article... if you feel the need to add her back in, then do so, but don't go mindlessly reverting good edits...

replies: text: I never labelled your edit, of which I mostly agree with, "vandalism". I asked you to rework your edit. Homer Hickam, on his own website, mentions Freida J. Riley, and you should not have removed the reference. Adraeus 04:32, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, my bad - I saw a vandalism comment on my watchlist right next to this one - got the wires crossed... feel free to add the reference back in, but I still believe you should't have done a wholesale revert... TheRealFennShysa 04:35, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I reverted your reversion and then reverted my reversion. I also re-added the reference. I think you may have also deleted some actual facts with your significant replacement of the content. You might want to look over the old version. Adraeus 04:44, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I was not aware that Hickam was "one of the world's most popular authors," nor that he is studied in most American schools.  I felt uneasy about removing these instances of hyperbole whole-hog, though.  Perhaps editors who know more about Hickam could either find sources for these claims or modify them?

replies: text: These claims cant be backed up.  I've cleaned up some of the more boastful language and reorganized the bio section a bit.  Rtphokie 19:06, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I think it would be of great benefit to the article if his religion is included in the info box and if more pictures can be included. Invmog (talk) 23:00, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I believe he did find two t-rex (it says citation needed)
here is a link on a news story: http://www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_187856.asp
do you guys agree? Can you find more sources?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.235.138.226 (talk) 04:31, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

message: The header for his Nasa career — labeled "NASA (1971-78)" — seems to be incorrect as well as not reflecting the section contents. His retirement from Nasa ended in 1998 (20 years after 1978) as mentioned in the section. The thing that ended for him in 1978 was his time as an engineer at the United States Army Aviation and Missile Command. After this position, he was at 7th ATC in Germany, and then began at Nasa in 1981. Perhaps the section should be relabeled as "Aviation engineer and NASA (1971-'98)" which would be more accurate for the contents of the whole section. — al-Shimoni (talk) 17:39, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

message: Homer Hickam's role in the incident where a person lost their internship at NASA for sending him vile tweet has been already covered by: The observer (http://observer.com/2018/08/nasa-internship-homer-hickam-twitter/) and Business Insider (http://uk.businessinsider.com/woman-lost-a-nasa-scholarship-over-a-series-of-profanity-laden-tweets-2018-8). 
I think it merits inclusion on the article since it is already notable (and might continue getting more as the story progresses).

message: I recently added some reliable sources to the military career and intro of the article so that they have citations and it's not original research. Logawinner (talk) 21:55, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
