Talk:Mary McGrory

message: Reference to the Post article on McGovern was changed to correctly reflect that the article was written for the Washington Star, Washington's afternoon newspaper for almost a century and a half, where she worked at the time.

Kennedy as she traveled with RFK's campaign as a correspondent for the Star.Tom Cod (talk) 19:31, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

These were added by an anon editor sourced to a fanblog. I've investigated the blog and while it's a great resource, and I think the details are likely to be correct, there's no obvious reason for Wikipedia to consider it a reliable source. If the anon editor could come up with more reliable sources eg published interviews they can be replaced. Espresso Addict (talk) 21:36, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Maureen Reagan

message: I edited this article a little bit for some basic grammatical problems, but it's still nowhere near up to standard. Did she really act in films? If so, which films and when? There is also a rather bold claim that "She was regarded as the most politically skilled of Ronald Reagan's four children" - by whom, and how does one quantify "political skill"? Maybe if it were a sourced quote the phrase would be acceptable, but right now it's just one of the many problems with this article. The whole thing is quite unencyclopaedic and could do with some attention from someone with detailed knowledge of the subject. Omgplz (talk) 09:23, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Maury Travis

message: I had to delete a great deal of this article because one user decided to copy and paste material from the [Maury Travis ] geocities page.

thread_title:  Copyright infringement 

message: There are multiple problems with the fourth sentence of the opening paragraph:
"Maury Troy Travis (October 25, 1965 – June 10, 2002) was an American serial killer from Ferguson, Missouri, who committed suicide in a St. Louis county jail, after being arrested for murder. Travis was named in a Federal criminal complaint for the murders of two women. At the time of the murders, Travis was a waiter and on parole for a 1989 robbery. While in his letter Travis claimed to have murdered 17 women, some authorities were doubtful;[1][2][3] others thought he may have murdered up to 20 women.[4]"
*1. The fourth sentence starts out with "While in his letter..." - what letter is that??? The article shouldn't say "his letter" until after an explanation of the letter is provided.
*2. The fourth sentence then goes on to say "...Travis claimed to have murdered 17 women..." - but that is not correct. In his letter he gave directions to the body of number 17. That does not mean he is claiming only 17 though. The article should say that "...Travis claimed to have murdered AT LEAST 17 women..." (capitals used for emphasis only).
*3. At the end of the fourth sentence about the letter and the incorrect claim of 17 kills, there are 3 references. However NONE of the 3 references refer to the claim about killing at least 17 women.
So ... in other words the introduction is wrong on several fronts and then provides references which don't in fact support what has been stated in the article. Clearly that needs to change.

Talk:Mel Vojvodich

message: Much of the article was directly copied word for word from a private website. I reworded most of the article due to concerns of copyright violations which was my main concern due to a previous editor who did this on other articles as well. The article now has a much better layout but still needs a layout expert. It could also use an official military picture, ribbon display, measurement conversions, etc. The references need much work but I do not have time to figure out how to fix them right now. Again a reference guru would be greatly welcomed. Overall a much better stub but still a work in progress. 172.56.11.26 (talk) 07:06, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Keriya Town

message: I have not found any town in Keriya County named Keriya. Can anyone provide any information to prove that Keriya Town exist?  A full list of the subdivisions of Keriya County can be found at this website, there is no Keriya Town in it. --Neo-Jay (talk) 17:28, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your reply. But your sources are about the downtown of Keriya County (于田县). It is not Keriya Town (于田镇). I hope you can understand the difference between the two concepts. I checked the subdivision list of Keriya County. Keriya County has 2 towns and 13 townships. The towns include Mugala Town (木尕拉镇) and Xianbaibazha Town (先拜巴扎镇). There is no Keriya Town at all.--Neo-Jay (talk) 23:32, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

text: OK, I think this Keriya Town is just Mugala Town (木尕拉镇). See this Chinese page about the history of Keriya County. It says that the Uyghur language for Yutian County, Xinjiang is Keriya or Mugala, and the former name of Mugala Town is Keriya. Therefore, I think, Mugala Town can be called as Keriya Town. But it should be noted that the Chinese name of this town is 木尕拉 (Mugala), not 于田 (Yutian). That's why I did not find a town named Keriya (Yutian). --Neo-Jay (talk) 00:27, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Seriously doubting the assumption that Mugala is another name for the capital of Yutian County. Googling for images of Yutian county maps (including those written in Chinese, i.e. search for 于田县 地图), indicate that Mugala is just another town(ship), a bit north from Yutian. The capital seems to be simply called Yutian, without any affix. --HyperGaruda (talk) 13:20, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Tow, Texas

message: Incidentally, the implication of the Handbook of Texas info suggesting that the Cowans arrived directly from Tennessee is incorrect; there are records of David and Gideon in Texas as early as 1846 — they were in what is now Williamson County, Texas and Burnet County, Texas as well, though they eventually settled in the Tow area.

Talk:Melvin J. Lasky

message: There is fairly substantial evidence that Lasky did know about the CCF/CIA funding for Encounter, as indicated by Frances Stonor Saunders in Who Paid the Piper?. Along with John Hunt, Michael Josselson, and Robie Macauley, Lasky was present when the CCF was founded in 1950 and was an active member (although he was eventually fired).Cmacauley (talk) 16:51, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Lasky's Involvement with the [[Congress for Cultural Freedom]]

message: I'm honestly confused. I know that Lasky stated many times that he knew of the CIA funding prior to the 1967 New York Times article, but I've never seen an admission that he knew about the funding while Encounter was still receiving it. The NYT published its reveal four years after the covert funding stopped. It was my understanding that Lasky had admitted to knowing of it before it became public, but after it had ceased. The way the wiki article reads, however, it implies that he knew of the funding all along, which I'm not sure is true. Moreover, the citation does not address this issue. If someone has a citation of Lasky saying that he knew of the CIA funding all along, I'll gladly close my mouth, but barring that, I think the wiki needs to be clarified.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.225.63.66 (talk) 16:15, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  AptaBiD works on what type of aptamer 

message: The previous version of the article made many mentions of new terms for aptamer subtypes, such as Spiegelmers, smart aptamers, optimers, X-aptamers, raptamers, and protein aptamers. We have also seen variant types of SELEX, such as FRELEX. Although they are all important contributions to the field, lengthy sections on these ideas distract from the main point. Although there is obvious benefit both to the lab and the field in sharing information about new developments, the research community as a whole will be best served by a clean, readable Wikipedia article that is clearly serving an educative purpose and does not have overtones of boosterism.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by AllAmericanBreakfast (talk • contribs) 00:40, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
