Talk:Payton Jordan

message: commented out a large section which upon checking seems fully justified to delete.  I checked the sole source, http://www.gostanford.com/sports/c-track/spec-rel/031605aac.html, through the wayback machine and it is purely an announcement of a book signing and day honoring Payton Jordan at Stanford.  The commented out section should probably be deleted. There does seem to be some issue with his politics as indicated by a letter to the Stanford Alumni Magazine () which means there may be some reliable source for some of the paragraph, but, someone needs to track them down.  The letter writer, Robert Coe, did write a book, Jock: A Memoir of the Counterculture, on his time as a Stanford long distance runner under Jordan but it seems to be self-published so not within the usual reliable source standard for Wikipedia (it has received a moderate amount of good online reviews even from people who admitted to political differences with Coe [though sharing a love of running]). Another letter indicates that some research into Jordan and when Stanford started having women on the track and field team. --Erp (talk) 14:22, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

message: Photek is listed in the credits of at least "The Night Lila Died" for that episode's music. I haven't paid attention to that in any of the other episodes, but the show's main page lists him under the theme music, and it's likely that he's been working most or all of the music for the series. I'm not sure how or where to add it (the article as a whole could use some restructuring), but would someone mind slipping that in, and going back and checking the other episodes? —烏Γ (kaw), 05:30, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

message: Maybe I need to read the book again, but I am pretty sure the Blathereen were described as nearly identical to the Slitheen. Otherwise the Slitheen would be unable to wear their skins. Chronolegion 13:27, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The only place the size of the Blathereen is mentioned is by Flowers on page 141 and refers to only one of them (Ermenshrew).  The quote is 'bigger and paler than either Ecktosca of Dram Fel Fotch.'  Since the Slitheen do wear the skins of the Blathereen at the end of the book, unless they've also developed an "expansion" devise (not mentioned anywhere in the book), they wouldn't be very convincing.  Since both the Doctor and Rose have seen Slitheen before, it seems that one or both would mention it if these new monsters were so much bigger (on average) than those they had seen before.  I changed the reference, in any case.  Gwydionmom 15:31, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I will not edit the article, respecting the author's professional sensitivity to proof of information.
