Talk:William J. Perry

message: The Secdef belongs here because "Willam Perry" + "secretary of defense" 18000 more google hits than "Willam Perry" + football. --Jiang 03:08, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: That may have been true in 2004, but is no longer the case. "William Perry" +"Secretary of Defense" results in 160,000 hits on Google. "William Perry" +"Chicago Bears" (which is necessary because it eliminates other players named William Perry) is 226,000. "William Perry" +"football" is 488,000.  I think this deserves to be revisited, though I don't know how to make it so. JeffHCross (talk) 00:22, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Would an interview with William Perry from 1987 be useful here as an external link? Focus of conversation is nuclear weapons policy. http://openvault.wgbh.org/catalog/V_8A3D886B287A4B0E8FE80C8412C4FFF8 (I helped with the site, so it would be conflict of interest for me to just add it.)

message: How can we find out who Sec'y Perry's Doctoral advisor was? There is a project to keep track of the "genealogy" of all PhD mathematicians. Jayxmn (talk) 22:55, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

message: Deleted a piece of opinion and quote from Paul Glastris inserted into the "Early life and career" section.  The article is an opinion piece by Paul Glastris in a publication for which Paul Glastris is the editor in chief.  The article asserts that William Perry has poor judgment about military hardware because he has no actual military experience, claiming his only military experience is as a contractor or at a desk in Washington.  The opinion piece asserts that William Perry was personally responsible for a string of military boondoggles while serving as Secretary of Defense.  I checked the first of these, the Apache Helicoter.  Based on the timeline it is impossible that William Perry has more than a bit part in bringing that project into being.174.100.201.44 (talk) 14:15, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

message: Hi,
I removed some biased wording today and then took a look in the edit history and noticed several edits by "DCPerry". This user has added content to this page several times over the years and so I'm not sure if the page deserves a COI warning at the beginning?
