Talk:E. W. Marland

message: I am a bit unsure as how to proceed with this new entry of Marland.  it is entitled something like "Quotes from books"  and then is subtitled "paraphrased by" and then the contributer's name is given.  I am open to suggestions, but plan on at least emailing the contributer.  Carptrash 16:04, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In 2024, page is still full of plausible but non-cited pieces of information--much of it surely inferred, like the couple's motives for moving or for adopting. Someone with interest and access to resources in Oklahoma state history could surely dispatch this quickly. Thanks, all. Johannes der Taucher (talk) 15:36, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

message: I just moved this whole section here.  Some of it might be okay, but its better work at from here than in the article,  This is an opinion.  Carptrash 05:05, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

message: a lot of complicated edits.  Such as at E.W. Marland and since it seems to me that you are making a lot of arbitrary decisions about what to keep and what to not keep tracking all these is being .... also complicated.  For example, I am wondeering why you removed: 
:. In 1928, the Marland Oil Company was taken over in a hostile bid process by J. P. Morgan, Jr. and was merged with Continental Oil and Transportation Company (CONOCO). Marland’s oil empire was destroyed in the break-up of trusts. He lost all of his wealth for the second time.Marland Estate Mansion and E.W.

replies: text: Have moved your comments to the article Talk page. The content you note above is in the article, in the Career section. If it was out for a while, it may have been an error. Or, I had guessed that it was "a break-up of trusts", as the previous editor didn't originally explain how J.P. Morgan, Jr. had affected the company (I found elsewhere that he had taken it over in a bid). Sorry for the confusion. Got interrupted in the process. Parkwells (talk) 03:07, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry about jumping all over you about the Marlands.  I think I'll just sit back, let you do all your improvements and then, if I have any issues (which I likely will not) get on with them.I have to be a little cautions with that ownership thing at times.

message: I have been expanding a lot of infoboxes, but am not sure exactly how to format the changes I think need to be made to this particular one. Not only was E.W. Marland a governor, but he was also a United States Congressman, which should be reflected in his infobox. Unfortunately, I don't know whether Congressman trumps governor or vice-versa and how to best implement changes to the infobox. Please offer suggestions or make those changes yourself.
