Talk:Fullback (gridiron football)

message: Nice work creating this needed page, but I've never heard a coach, player, sports reporter, or even a fan (before now) express the opinion that a fullback--or any other position--is wasted roster space. Criticism must come from a cited published source. WP:Original research isn't allowed.--Son of Somebody 06:18, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd have to agree that that whole sentence is contradictory.  Fullbacks are runningbacks whose jobs come in the following order of importance: 1) Lead block 2) Pass block/catch passes 3) Run the ball.  Unless they are a part of a wishbone, flexbone, or random option offense, there isn't really any reason to give them the ball unless on "trick plays." --Excaliburhorn 03:27, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

message: A "fullback" is someone who does everything on their side of line. A Full-back does everything. The term that has seemed to slip nicely here is Half-back to Running-back.

thread_title: A Half-Back

message: The list of prominent running NFL fullbacks does not include anyone recent. That is because fullbacks are not doing much running. When a big back does run a lot they don't call him a fullback but call him a running back or maybe even a halfback. In fact, I am sure that Jimmy Brown and some of the others would not be _called_  fullbacks today. Even if he played the same role in the same formations, Brown would have been called a running back. He was big and he ran inside and hit hard but he still wouldn't be called a fullback.
The situation is quite different in college and high school football where you often have two backs who get to run the ball a lot and one of them is often called the fullback.

Weydonian (talk) 10:56, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I can tell the song was written by Zell Sanders, period, and all the sources I've looked at indicate this. According to our article the writing credit is shared with Lona Stevens, but her name may have been added just to ensure that any songwriting royalties were split with Spector (Stevens was Spector's wife). They used to do this back then; Elvis Presley was credited as writer on many songs he had no part in writing for just that reason. Maybe Lona Stevens did help, I don't know; but I haven't seen any indication of it, and everything I've read refers to "Zell Sanders' song" or "Sanders' song". However, I would guess that our default rule is that by "songwriters" we mean credited songwriters not actual songwriters (which is less accurate but much easier to document and much less subject to dispute and opinion). E.g. we follow the "songwriters: Lennon/McCartney" rubric for songs that only one of those lads ever touched, and so on. Herostratus (talk) 07:25, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

text: Update, found an unreliable blog post which says that Stevens did help write the song, and only married Spector later. This attribution of the songwriting to Spector himself is an outlier and certainly wrong. Herostratus (talk) 07:29, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Richard Harrington (actor)

message: This edit  re-asserts a previously reverted bold edit. I reverted the edit  previously because MOS:ETHNICITY says (in note a):  This has not been done so I shall revert out the change again shortly, but this section is the place where the discussion should be had. 
I note that the short description says British, and long description says Welsh. That is an inconsistency perhaps, but no discussion has been had, so what we need now are sources demonstrating which is better and these can be made consistent.
I also removed the source added to the lead that reviews his appearance in Poldark and says "Roedd y Cymro Richard Harrington yn chwarae rhan y Capten Andrew Balmey yn y ddrama." Although this Welsh language piece calls him a Welshman, it is entirely unnecessary to add a citation to the lead where it says he is Welsh, when we have it cited in the main that he was born in Merthyr Tydfil. The lead summarises the main, and the citation in the main is, in any case, better. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:47, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Richard Hart (actor)

message: Article states that, "He [Hart] married his teenage sweetheart, Eugenia Getchell in 1938, and had one son Christopher."  Later the article mentions, "He [Hart] married actress Louise Valery, whom he had met in Dark of the Moon, had two daughters, then voluntarily left MGM to go back to the stage."  No mention of what happened to his teenage sweetheart.  Poorly written - and should probably be deleted/suspended until it's fixed.

Talk:Robert J. Wilke

message: Support for the statement "Wilke was an excellent golfer." seems weak. The bases for that evaluation are: 1) a golf club pro saying, "A solid four handicap, but his putting is deteriorating. Wilke must have won more celebrity tournaments than you can count." and 2) "James Garner also said that Wilke was the best golfer among the showbiz crowd at the Riviera." 
I am no golf expert, but I wonder whether having a four handicap and winning celebrity tournaments makes a person an excellent golfer.

Talk:Winterport (CDP), Maine

message: As noted above, this article was nominated for deletion and ended up getting redirected to the town article.  I'm well aware that AFD-deleted content, if recreated, is eligible for speedy deletion under CSD #G4.  However, the criteria note that it is speedy-able "provided the copy is substantially identical to the deleted version and that any changes in the recreated page do not address the reasons for which the material was deleted."  Aside from the perhaps irregular discussion (the nominator voted after nomination, and only one other person voted), the reasons for deletion, according to the discussion, was that this article is basically a part of the town no more remarkable than any other.  In restoring the article, I have therefore added an infobox showing that it's treated separately by multiple sources, and I have added into the text multiple sources specifically discussing or otherwise using the CDP, including one altogether non-Census related page depending on the CDP.  Between adding these sources and expanding the article's size by 238% (even without the features of the infobox, an increase of 44%), I believe that I have both demonstrated the notability of this topic and caused it to be significantly different from the deleted version.
