Talk:Murder of John Alan West

message: I merged the Gwynne Owen Evans and Peter Anthony Allen pages into this one. They had no biographical other than birth/death dates and a small amount of identical information about the case, while this one has more information about the murder, trial and executions. Also, I added an unreferenced tag to the article, as there are currently zero. I'll try to work on improving that. momoricks make my day 07:52, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:John Bayliss

message: The   ISFDB entry for John C. Bayliss lists his death date as 1978, and lists work not listed in the WP article.oldpoetry.com gives dates of 1919-1978 and seems to match the wikipedia entry except for the death date. This article from The independent appears to confirm that there was a "John Bayliss" born around 1919 who was a poet, but it says that he was "an objector" while our article says he served in the RAF during WWII. SF Authors gives his name as "John Clifford Bayliss", confirms the 1919 birth date, says he is the son of Alfred Edward MacDuff Bayliss, and co-editor (with his father) of Science in Fiction, which all matches the ISFDB record, but does not give a death date. Wikipedia showed a date of death of 1978 until 14:39, 4 September 2008, when it was changed by an anon editor who stated in the edit summery "I am a bookseller, and bought his library from him in May 2008. I had a conversation today with his daughter who told me of his death"  Webster's quotations gives the 1978 date, citing wikipedia.

Talk:John Bryan Ward-Perkins

message: Getting the refs for this is somewhat of a tough job. I found exactly one and it did not contain any of the info in the article. I can't check on the others because you can't get them on the Internet. The topics in braces appear to be machine-generated. My guess is no notes are in here because the supposed "references" were machine-generated and do not really relate to the article. Whoever did it didn't really work up any notes. The whole article is repeated word for word a number of times but one repetition does give Wikipedia credit. Well, what are we do do? I wish I knew. Someone needs to sit down in a Britsh library and and spend a few hours hauling paper around. Anyone willing to do that? If not I suggest we just mark it for deletion, unless you want to have only his publications, which are easily verifiable. I notice Wikipedia is often dominated by system types, who know the most about programming and think they know about everything else, but do not. What good is this, guys? In the end it is unverifiable even though perhaps nearly all true.Dave (talk) 18:33, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Apparently there is another John Carnell who made the H2G2 comic in 1993 , that is 21 years after Edward John Carnell’s death… Obviously E.J. Carnell can’t be related to H2G2, given he died before H2G2 saga began (1978)!

thread_title:  expansion? 

message: This article is rather clearly biased in favor of Vincent. It is not true that Mao's Communists shouldered the brunt of the fighting against the Japanese, and the claim that Vincent predicted the Sino-Soviet split strikes me as unlikely to say the least. 
In my opinion the first statement should be rewritten to indicate that this was Vincent's opinion, rather than a fact, and the second should be either sourced or deleted. T Brahe (talk) 00:55, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:John Clarence Webster

message: Hi  and 
Just to clear things up for both of you, this is a stub class article: J. B. Mauney. Notice that the article has a stub class template at the bottom where it says, "This biographical article related to American sports is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it."
One way to remove the stub tag from the article and change the stub-class in the talk page is by expanding the article. See WP:STUB. The stub tag should not be used to tag an article that is start-class quality or higher; the article must be very rough to merit stub class when it is larger than a stub. dawnleelynn(talk) 21:35, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: >>Good that you can improve out of stub. Ref/cit needs some fixing. Keep improving. Cheers! SWP13 (talk) 22:11, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Upon second review, I didn't realize that it needed some citations in some areas as much as it did. But it can still squeak by on a C. Once totally cited, it can actually reach a B-class. It was definitely not a stub at any point, which is a bad quality article as shown by the Mauney article I linked. It was never "one step away" from deletion. dawnleelynn(talk) 00:40, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

Talk:John Douglas Story

message: John Douglas Story (1869-1966), Public Service Commissioner, Queensland
Story was on the Public Service Superannuation Board 1913-1942; chief crown advocate before the Industrial Commission on public service matters; and a member of the Bureau of Industry. He served on boards which constructed the new university at St Lucia, built Somerset Dam, and erected the bridge across the Brisbane River from Kangaroo Point to Fortitude Valley, named in his honour in 1940. Following his retirement in 1939 Story became honorary full-time vice-chancellor at the University of Queensland. Succeeded by Professor Fred Schonell as Queensland's first salaried vice-chancellor, Story retired in 1960, but remained on the senate of the university until 1963. He was honoured by the naming of the new J.D. Story Administration Building in 1965.

thread_title:  Name of 15 volume work 

message: In the Wikipedia article, a comment has been made that A History of Astronomy from Thales to Kepler is "dated in some respects".
First of all, I do not believe this comment belongs in the article at least without citing some authority who makes that comment and gives their reasoning, i.e. I think the comment would be fair game if the artifice were quoting a subject matter expert's criticism on the work.
Secondly, the article does not cite examples of how the work is dated. Is "History" dated simple because it wasn't published within the last three months? Because the work is over 100 years old? Because advances have been in human knowledge that render information on "History" inaccurate or incorrect?
I vote to remove this criticism if it cannot be substantiated by an expert's considered opinion or if the remark cannot be explained in context.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by ProfessorTom (talk • contribs) 17:20, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Talk:John E. Miles

message: @User:Reywas92 and @User:Yohan Anthony Sunanda, page 9 of the September 2014 edition of the New Mexico Military Institute Alumni Relations magazine provides the following information on a distinguished alumnus of NMMI:
"MG Franklin E. Miles, USA (Ret) 1944 JC was born in 1923 in Tucumcari, New Mexico. His father was Governor John E. Miles of Cherokee descent. His mother, Susie C. Wade, was a member of the Choctaw Nation. In 1939, he attended the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, NM and received an Associate Degree upon graduation. Returning from World War II, Miles attended The University of New Mexico (UNM) and received his degree in Business Administration in 1950."
<https://www.nmmi.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/AR-September2014.pdf>
This seems to me to be a reliable source, and to be more trustworthy regarding John E. Miles's ancestry than one can expect from an article about a 2018 gubernatorial candidate whom the author wants to emphasize would "make history" (and which doesn't mention Miles). Just this morning, the (usually accurate) Politics1.com stated that Winsome Sears had been the first African-American Republican to be elected to the Virginia General Assembly when, in fact, she was the first *female* African-American Republican to be so elected (over a dozen black Republicans were elected to the VA General Assembly during Reconstruction); similarly, Idaho gubernatorial candidate Paulette Jordan, if elected, would become the first *female Native-American* governor and the first *publicly Native-American* governor, but John Miles apparently would have beaten her out by 80 years to the milestone of first Native-American governor. If I had to choose between a short biography of a distinguished alumnus of NMMI in the school's alumni magazine and a news article that doesn't even mention Miles, I would rely on the source with the specific mention of Miles's ancestry.
