Talk:Dave Hull

message: I have removed the quote about Dave Hull influencing the naming of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Hull may very well have told that account to people.  However, the creation of that album is well-documented in many historical accounts about the Beatles. Paul McCartney's own account of the creation of Sgt. Pepper, which was conceived and produced in the UK, had nothing to do with Dave Hull or any American. It certainly had nothing to do with the Texas-based Dr. Pepper soft drink.
:
I've also removed the unsourced claim that Hull was known as The fifth Beatle. Fifth Beatle is a sourced list of many who are considered a "fifth Beatle".  Dave Hull is not on the list. The only American DJ on that list is Murray the K, who had promoted and traveled with the  Beatles, and gave himself that nickname.  The others are individuals who were mostly associated with either the Beatles management team, or as musical accompanists in producing the music. — Maile  (talk) 04:00, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Statue of John Mason 

message: The last four paragraphs of this section, describing controversies over the John Mason statue and Capitol carving, do not abide by Wikipedia's standard for neutral POV. This section conveys editorial bias (e.g. "unfairly ignoring all of his other honorable contributions as the preeminent founder of the Connecticut Colony.") It also uses unverifiable speculation(e.g. "Once the statue is mentioned in the media it tends to stir up mixed emotions and is susceptible to vandalism and controversy again" and "It was only a matter of time before the John Mason statue was once again splashed with blood red paint."  This section should be edited to reflect a neutral POV that meets Wikipedia's standards.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by IantheResearcher (talk • contribs) 23:48, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Talk:John Nevison

message: I noticed that the blue plaque from Wakefield  featured in the image that accompanies the article states (twice) that Nevison's year of death was 1685, but the article makes clear it was 1684. I would note that a quick web search would seem to indicate some websites and books including the Oxford Dictionary of National Biographies go for 1685 and others 1684. Thus is there scholarly division on the date or is one of the dates an error? If the former is the case I think something explaining it could be added to the article if possible. Equally, if it is generally felt the plaque that is wrong, or the 1684 date is the more doubtful, then I suspect something needs to be added to the article to make this clear. I think as it stands there is the potential for confusion as to why the page seems to be giving conflicting information on the year of the subject's execution.

Talk:Elliot Segal

message: Please discuss the wording of the last paragraph of the controversy section here to make it NPOV.  Currently it reads as follows. 
The fine was of exceptionally dubious merit, as there was no overt obscenity during the segment and Segal had acted in good faith believing the callers to be 18. It is believed that there may have been political strings pulled by the administrators of the school in order to preserve the school’s public image. This was especially important so as to conceal the truth, as several independent investigators have largely corroborated the caller’s claims of sexual debauchery on school grounds.[5]

text: Yes, it has no source and seems to just be POV.  The only thing that is close to verifiable is the "good faith" line, as the transcript of the call quotes them as identifying themselves as 18.

Talk:Gary Burbank

message: This was not the Senseless Survey guy, he was a Bengal player who "wished to remain synonymous so as not to besmirch [his] reparation"
The senseless survey character was Riley Girt from the US Senseless Bureau.
JMarkMurphy (talk) 13:44, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Mr. Synonymous

message: Was not actually a character of Gary Burbank, but Kevin "Doc" Wolfe, one of Gary's associates.  I found the following on the way back machine:
The Senseless Survey was started during the presidential primaries when Bill Clinton ran the first time, so that would have been what? 1992? I did these as writer/producer/sidekick on the Gary Burbank Show on WLW radio in Cincinnati, Ohio. They were later syndicated when the Burbank Show went national. There were approximately 450 Senseless Survey calls recorded over a 10 year period.
Riley Girt, the surveyor of this frivolity, caught on as a character and developed his own personality as an androgenous, middle-aged milquetoast who lived with his mother. Often mistaken for a woman, Riley took the insult in stride and moved on to ask the next ridiculous question.
These are all legitimate calls made at random to people kind enough to answer the questions. I often dialed 60 numbers in order to get two good calls. I guess I don't consider them "prank calls" in the traditional sense since no one was emotionally hurt, verbally abused or made the butt of the joke in the process. In a way, I think this shows what good-natured citizens America is blessed with.
Enjoy,
J. Kevin Wolfe
