Talk:Jack Scruby

message: The previous version had two errors: (1) molds have to be heat resistant and cannot
be made of a material like rubber.  Hence I interpret the Courier Timeline as
saying that Jack's first figures were made of rubber. (2) Jack's fantasy line did
not predate Chainmail.  See my two references for this.
Also, I removed the references to Little Wars and Fletcher Pratt.  If the reader
wants to get the history of miniature wargaming, let them click through the provided link.
I hope everyone agrees the article will be stylistically better if we get to Jack's achievements immediately.  —User:Grubbiv
:Nope! The molds were made of a type of rubber. I don't really understand it myself (I had the same thought), but I've seen (decades ago, darn it), a how-to peice he did that talked about it, and it was definately lead miniatures from rubber molds. The point is that the RTV rubber was cheap and easy to make, as opposed to a normal mold. The rest of it sounds good. --Rindis 19:06, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

This is unlikely, since Tim Fischer married his wife in 1992, and produced his sons soon after, they would not have been old enough to attack the media. From memory, it was (the late) Senator Mal Colston's son who did this. Martin/Molloy would repeatedly play clips of the son shouting, "get the f*ck off the property".

message: The article is well-written, with excellent prose throughout. Per GA criteria, any individual statements (for example "In Richard Wright's autobiographical novel Black Boy (American Hunger), the character of Buddy Nealson represents Haywood." from the lead) that could be challenged should have specific in-line citation for them. More generally, the one reference listed is an autobiography, which can not be assumed to be a neutral source. I would suggest checking the material from a more neutral source and including those sources in the references section as well. Good work so far, though. I would suggest renomination once the referncing has been adjusted. - Mocko13 00:10, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Given that you say there might be some dispute about the accuracy of the source I wonder if it might be best to qualify the statement by providing attribution, for instance "According to Plaster an aircraft from the squadron responded to a distress..." to be on the safe side.

replies: text: If this isn't in the official history or corroborated by other sources it should be treated with a degree of caution.
