Talk:Elmer Gedeon

thread_title: Bad link 

message: This article says that Elmer's uncle Joe was implicated in the Black Sox scandel. The Joe Gedeon article doesn't say anything about playing for the White Sox, reads that Elmer was his son, and reads that Elmer was one of four Major League Baseball players killed in combat. This article says two were killed in combat. Clearly these inaccuracies need to be worked out. --Daysleeper47 17:17, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi, nice article, not bad at all but needs a little bit of work before it is ready.
*The headings are misplaced. I would suggest removing either "Three-sprt athlete", "Professional baseball" or both. Or alternately make them smaller headings with ===.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD)  02:22, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

message: As asked, I am explaining the reason behind my content removal from the section titles "Growing up in Cleveland."
I removed the last few sentences, which read "Gedeon's surname was common in Cleveland, because many people from Sudetenland, where it was common, settled in Cleveland.[6] The phonebook listed numerous Gedeons for biographical research. One finding was that Gedeon's widow, who was named Laura, later moved to Florida.[6] Another was that his third cousin Charlotte Gedeon said Elmer carried her grandmother's casket during a funeral.[6]" My reason for removing this was that I felt this info was at best tangentially related to Elmer Gedeon's life and career. A baseball fan researching Gedeon cares little about the commonality of his last name, or about his third cousin. Were these sentences better weaved in to the rest of the section, I may have felt differently, but the content was also poorly written and seemed to stick out like a sore thumb against the rest of the article. The sentence "The phonebook listed numerous Gedeons for biographical research" is very vague. It seems almost like a meta-commentary on the research used to compile this article, which I feel is not appropriate for such a page. I see little use for having these findings about Gedeons in Cleveland on Elmer Gedeon's Wikipedia page, and I would be interested to hear someone's counter argument for undoing my content removal.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5krunguy (talk • contribs) 16:36, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
