Talk:Ray Hendrick

message: *There's a bunch of good stuff on Hendrick, both career facts and anecdotes, in the two-part article "The Living Legend: Ray Hendrick" by Larry Tomar.  Part 2 is in Stock Car Racing (ISSN 0734-7340), Volume 25, Number 4, April 1990.  I assume that Part 1 is in the previous issue, March 1990, but I'm still going through old issues rescued from an attic.  Barno 00:26, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Academies of Classical Learning

message: I've had a great deal of trouble with this article. The Chinese Wikipedia article is extremely brief and the Japanese Wikipedia article, while better, is still rather sketchy. I later incorporated information from various sites on the Internet, which led to more and more illogicalities in the chronology. Only after a careful examination of dates and various sources did it become clear that the Four Great Academies of the Song belonged to the Northern Song, and that Zhu Xi's revival of the White Deer Grotto Academy came after a period of decline (I was confused by the organisation of the Japanese article). At any rate, I hope that the article as it stands now longer purveys falsehoods, even if it still leaves a lot to be desired.

Talk:Harriett Woods

message: ffuwefvftvfbe9r86ugihu harrit woods≤≈≈20:30, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

message: ln 1982 while running for Senate from Missouri and campaigning across the state, Woods argued directly to voters and to the camera for abortion rights for women, and would have won had the DNC funded her campaign in time. They did not fund women’s campaigns at the time, claiming women could not win office, until Harriet successfully argued with the facts that whenever women ran, they won, and the probl was that women did not run, not that they did not win, and when they ran, they did not get DNC funding. She unabashedly demanded choice for women in 1982 and almost won, so it’s a stretch to say that we have to gingerly address that topic in 2022. 2601:643:8400:790:2041:A296:4A50:ED93 (talk) 20:50, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

message: Every source on the internet says Dunklin resigned September 30. I think they're wrong. I found this document from 1869, , which says he resigned on the 13th. "Thirteenth". I strongly suspect that Sobel (the best source for info of this type, who wrote his biographical directory of governors in 1978) or one of his sources misread that as Thirtieth. I haven't found a single source so far from before 1978 that says September 30. --Golbez (talk) 18:51, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Hamilton Rowan Gamble

message: I keep seeing the claim on various Wiki pages that "Lyon then convened a puppet constitutional convention in the state capital" without any references cited.  It is non-neutral in nature and it might be more appropriate to stick to the actions taken by a given body on given dates.  The assertion that Lyon was the one pulling all the strings appears dubious and unsupported.  (Lyon's political allies in Missouri perhaps had great influence in this, but Lyon himself?  Unlikely.)  The narratives I've seen indicate that the executive committee  of the elected state convention called the delegates back.  This was within their charter (the convention had not been dissolved.)  The state convention then declared the state offices vacant, and set up a provisional government.  While the latter actions apparently exceeded their authority, the governor and legislators had also exceeded theirs as well and were at the time in open rebellion.  It was an extraordinary set of circumstances. Red Harvest (talk) 16:51, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

message: This article appears to have been mistitled since its creation until my recent move. While both "Elliot" and "Elliott" can be found in print or online, most high quality authoritative and official sources state his first name as Elliott, with two t's, including: Note also VIAF and Library of Congress prefer Elliott, and while Find a Grave unsurprisingly gets his name wrong, the gravestone it actually shows gets it right.

message: Regarding my recent expansion of the article. I did find some sources that incorrectly listed Thomas as the brother or nephew of John Reynolds. This is understandable to some extent as there was another gentleman named Thomas Reynolds in Illinois with similar birthyear, etc.  However, fortunately I found an earlier, reliable, ref that explains all the confusion to my satisfaction. It's from the Illinois State Historical Society, ergo, usually pretty reliable.

Talk:Lexington, Illinois

message: In the days of the Revolution a small band of men committed their lives to defend their homes against the invading enemies and to the cause of Liberty.  These men were hand picked from the regular troops and were the elite force of the day.  They were called to arms with the ringing of the church bells and had to be ready at a moments notice.  Thus the name Minutemen was used to describe this special force of American Patriots.  It was the Minutemen who were the first to battle and the Minutemen who would prevail.

Talk:Jeff Smith (Missouri politician)

message: I hadn't heard about Jeff Smith in years, and came across his name today.  Looking at this article (and BTW I don't know any details about whatever crimes he apparently was convicted of), the section in it about his conviction not only gives scant information about whatever he allegedly did, but the tone makes it obvious that whoever wrote this section was strongly in Smith's camp.  It isn't explained what Smith's role was in the whole affair, and most of it is a description of reasons why Smith deserved (and yet didn't often get) lenient treatment.  A more neutral perspective is needed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.17.82.7 (talk) 22:18, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Francis Slay

message: Not a reference article.
The article reads like a "puff piece" in commercial or political advertising - not a balanced article on Mayor Slay. There is an almost total lack of criticism of what is, after all, the Mayor of a declining city - people keep leaving, in spite of (or because of) the Mayor's high spending policies. Big city newspapers tend to get into bed with local government (due to advertising considerations), but one would have hoped that Wikipedia would be different.2.221.63.146 (talk) 15:02, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I am not really writing in connection with the above discussion, but because it drew me here, I ended up reading the article. I agree with the first thread on this page. It reads like a puff piece from a PR firm (and is mostly unsourced, in a WP:BLP). Most of the content I am talking about is in the "Term as Mayor" section. Even the sourced material in that section is problematic. For example the unsourced and glowing statement "The Slay administration and its public and private partners have received national and international recognition for St. Louis's renaissance", is followed by a sourced statement of an award won by the city, not Slay, and relies on the truth of the unsourced content, as does the next tidbit regarding the "Amanda Burden Urban Open Space award". This material is pretty far afield. As to verifiability, as a test, and randomly, I took a look for sources that verified that he was in some way directly involved in any negotiations that resulted in "construction of Busch Stadium", and found nothing. Doesn't mean it isn't true, but given the tone and the fact I could not source what I looked for, I challenge this section's content, per WP:BURDEN. The tone needs adjusting of course, but as to the content, I have added tags, and will wait a suitable time for inline citations verifying these facts, say a week, before removal.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 22:02, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Also, I deleted his link to the German-Americans article, because the Hulshof side is primarily Dutch (I should know, he's a cousin) and his mother's last name at least is English.  He does have some german ancestry, but little enough to make the German-American label misleading, I think.

The statement was inaccurate for two reasons, First of all, Hulshof is a U.S. House member, not a U.S. Senator. Neither the U.S. Constitution nor the Missouri Constitution grant the Governor the authority to fill a vacancy in the U.S. House by appointment, which would be permitted if Hulshof were a U.S. Senator. If Hulshof resigns before the completion of his current in January, 2009, a special election would be required. --TommyBoy (talk) 20:02, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
