Talk:Samuel Conway

message: Do we really need to have this biography link to Chairman, Volunteer, Entertainer, Auctioneer, Author, PHD, chemistry, doctoral thesis, and a whole host of other 'common' items? No need to cross-reference them all... Bengaley 14:38, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably not, if it's an obvious term. Such things only really need to be linked if they are being specifically discussed or if the reader is likely to be unfamiliar with them. GreenReaper 16:47, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In that case, I'll let this stand for about three quarters of a day. If nothing else occurs when I get home from work at 0645 PST, I'll start delinking the common terms. Bengaley 18:03, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed a bunch of links. Hopefully this solves the problem. GreenReaper (talk) 05:49, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of overabundance of links 

message: Its not that its doubted for being truthful, its that its doubted for being link to a personal blog site (Especially one such as livejournal). Unless listed as "according to him" or something similar noting the "hear-say-version"/"according to"/"as told" of what happened . But because I don't want to incur the wrath of the furs, hey I'm just following the rules. I believe that this can be used as a valid if not morbid source http://pellachronicle.com/obituaries/x351844183/Mark-Stevenson  I found it during my search, and felt it only right to post this.

replies: text: Obviously, anyone could claim to be a bone marrow donor and we would ordinarily have no way of confirming their story. WP:ABOUTSELF makes it clear that self-published sources cannot back a claim about third parties. However, in this case, the facts asserted by the blog are also in the referenced newspaper story. The blog was provided for the convenience of readers, because the newspaper story is not available online. I have a copy and would be glad to forward it to any interested editors.

thread_title:  The bone marrow issue.... 

message: This article starts out talking about how Mr. Conway is a respected Chemist, however the majority of the article is made up about a lot of really uninteresting facts about what he does in his spare time. Must we really know what media has interviewed him and what local television stations he appeared on? Or that he led an auction at a few events? Just think of how bloated Wikipedia would be if everyone who's ever led an event auction or was interviewed on local TV had a page about them. I think the entire "Fandom Activities" section needs to be truncated to a few facts and not feature every little thing the guy's done in his life. DoctorBorous (talk) 06:43, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: To chemists, Dr. Conway's fandom activities may be of little note; to fans, it is likely his activities in Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry are of a trivial nature. Fortunately, as Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, we have room for them both, and more besides. While it is appropriate to mention his career first, I'd argue that it is in the field of furry fandom that he has made the widely recognized contribution that justifies his presence here. However, it might be appropriate to move some or all of the media coverage relating primarily to Anthrocon to that article. GreenReaper (talk) 23:32, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
