thread_title: Copyvio?

message: "Legacy of Blood is the first novel based on Diablo by Blizzard Entertainment."
I have reason to believe that this is not the first Diablo book. According to the last page of the book Demonsbane written in 2000 by Robert B. Marks he wrote the first book. This makes sense, as it came out a year before Legacy of Blood.
Here is the quote from the book: "And, to be the author of the very first piece of Diablo fiction is an immense honor." Should this stub be revised to say it is the second book instead of the first?
Edit: Nevermind, I see that it says it's the first novel, while the the one by Robert B. Marks is a novella. My mistake. Purerok (talk) 18:29, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I cannot understand why this road should have been picked out of all the other roads in London! Nevertheless, since it was, it would have been better had all the facts been correct. Canonbury doesn't have two middle 'n's - and the road, according to the Geographer's London Atlas, ends somewhat ignominiously AFTER it reaches Essex Road. I won't change it again now, but I notice it also crosses the Grand Union Canal - a future change. Peter Shearan 10:00, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Johnson—to establish a national arts organization to preserve the legacy of American film heritage, educate the next generation of filmmakers, and honor the artists and their work.

thread_title:  Cancer as the cause of death 

message: The Betty MacDonald related pages, including this one, have been plagued by the persistent addition by various single-purpose accounts of material describing "interviews" conducted of MacDonald's sister by a purported journalist by the name of Wolfgang Hampel. The material is not properly included in this or in any of the articles for several reasons. First, it doesn't actually add anything - just that the sister told "entertaining stories". Second, it's tangential to the subject matter of any of these articles. Third, Wolfgang Hampel - whoever he is - does not appear to be a reliable source. Finally, it is hard to escape the conclusion that the material is being included simply to hawk the CD/DVD on which these purported interviews were included. (This entry has frequently been accompanied by links to commercial fansites.) Being trivial, tangential, unreliably sourced and for apparent commercial purposes, these edits are inappropriate and editors may expect that other editors or I will be removing them on sight - and any editor who attempts to force their inclusion risks being blocked.

thread_title:  Persistent addition of improper unsourced trivia 

message: I've just made a change of wording in the article on this point, and here's why: anybody who has done much research in family history, as I have, is aware that census records are very, very iffy sources. Time and again, in all parts of the country and all decades, they are off by a year or two from what I know to be correct dates for my own ancestors, from Bible records, tombstones, and other kinds of official documents.
Why this is I don't know, maybe the census takers had a different way of counting time - but it's just not right to use census records as being more definitive of someone's birth year than other official sources. Textorus (talk) 01:07, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: However, Paula Becker (Looking for Betty MacDonald. The Egg, the Plague, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, and I. University of Washington Press, Seattle und London 2016) cites baptismal records (baptized May 1907) and also points out that Betty's younger brother was born in Nov. 1908 which makes it highly improbable that Betty Bard was born in March 1908 (see loc. cit., p. 9 and 10).--Mautpreller (talk) 14:16, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

I think it's not the Gennett company meant here but the Starr Piano Company. Starr owned the Gennett label and recorded and produced its discs.

replies: text: I disagree; I reverted your changes as being mostly intricate detail. For example, what is the purpose of identifying Peter Goring as the shot down pilot? The original text didn't mention him and from your additions, it seems as though Crawford-Compton didn't shoot him down either so what is the relevance to this article? Also sources should be properly identified - what is Caldwell, and the War Diaries? They aren't listed in the references section. You can expect a bit of scrutiny of your edits when making changes to an article and not maintaining the existing citation and referencing formats.

thread_title: Misc

message: Articles need to be written in an encyclopedic style, and they must conform to wikipedia policies and guidelines. Especially important is WP:BLP which clearly states that any biographical material not directly related to the article, and any material that is not supported by references to verifiable sources, must be immediately removed.
When writing an article, it helps to consider what value the information actually has. In this case, is there any benefit to the reader in knowing the names of 12th year students? The answer is pretty clearly "no". Is there a benefit to the reader in knowing about the process of how the councils are elected and operated? "Yes", this is useful info that informs the reader, without bogging down in personal details that are largely irrelevant. 
I'd like to encourage the editors of this article to review the manual of style. This is an extremely useful overview of how the article should be organized, and what info it should contain. As it stands now, this article contains some useful material, and parts of it are well-written, but it could use a lot of polish, and several verifiable references.
