Talk:Carol Cartwright

message: No biography of Carol Cartwright would be complete without mention of her dismantling of the KSU varsity ice hockey program and her attempts to do the same at BGSU.

Talk:John Cheyne, Baron Cheyne

message: The article used to contain the following two claims:-
*He inherited some land from the his father's widow in a contested will, but which did not include Chenies Manor House which his father had built.
*He died without issue leaving his lands to his nephew, Thomas Cheyne.
These claims were challenged as follows and were subsequently moved to this section as a result:PeterEastern (talk) 05:41, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusion of different Cheynes 

message: I am raising a citation need concerning his estimated height. It would also be helpful to make known when the discovery and measurement of his thighbone took place.  This gives Cheyne a potential pre-20th century claim for record as tallest member of the English Parliament.  The claim is interesting considering his likely age (nearly 60) and height by mediaeval standards. Cloptonson (talk) 22:27, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Estimated Height

message: Hello, 
I have a question regarding the correct blazon for Sir John Cheyne. Do we have any reliable source for this, or is it just based on him being a second son? We cannot just assign a crescent as difference to him in this case because the system of cadency was not set in stone at the end of the 15th century.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by SirWilliamGold (talk • contribs) 16:11, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Charles Tiebout

message: Tiebout did a lot of seminal work with club goods and advancing a theory of political competition for within a larger meta-polity that allows free movement of its' citizens.  This WP stub article on Tiebout, as of December 2009, has nothing about this.  
I recently read a piece that summarizes Tiebout's contributions nicely, which could perhaps form the basis for an addition to the article.
William Voegeli
The Big-Spending, High-Taxing, Lousy-Services Paradigm: California taxpayers don’t get much bang for their bucks.
In 1956, the economist Charles Tiebout provided the framework that best explains why people vote with their feet. The “consumer-voter,” as Tiebout called him, challenges government officials to “ascertain his wants for public goods and tax him accordingly.” Each jurisdiction offers its own package of public goods, along with a particular tax burden needed to pay for those goods. As a result, “the consumer-voter moves to that community whose local government best satisfies his set of preferences.” In selecting a jurisdiction, the mobile consumer-voter is, in effect, choosing a club to join based on the benefits that it offers and the dues that it charges.
America’s federal system allows, at the state level, for 50 different clubs to join. At first glance, the states seem to differ between those that bundle numerous high-quality public benefits with high taxes and those that offer packages of low benefits and low taxes.

replies: text: Usage in comics has nothing to do with notability or real world reception. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, which means that merely existing does not automatically imply that a topic is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. In this case, she is a fictional character and fiction in Wikipedia is treated in an encyclopedic manner, discussing the reception and significance of notable works in addition to a concise summary. If she does not have them, then she is not suitable for a stand-alone article. There is also the fact that the article does not provide reliable sources outside of primary sources, which in turn does not show that the character as a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, so that means that she does not meet the basic inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article either. Whether she is used or not in the comic books is not relevant regarding WP:GNG and WP:IINFO. It is the lack of coverage in reliable secondary sources the factor that is measured in these criteria.

I don't know why the insertion other than to qualify her for Wikipedia's list of "Jewish-American economists" (bottom of the page). (In fact, why on earth is there such a list? Why all the other Jewish-American this-and-that lists? So Jews can kvell? So anti-Jews can have a convenient roster of whom to hate? Why is it important to categorize people? Is Goldin left-handed, perhaps? Red-haired? Should I care?) If something in her personal or professional life indicates that she has Jewish roots (membership in a Jewish organization, e.g.), fine.
