Talk:Ketchikan High School

message: Recently several sections of the article were deleted because of a lack of citations. I restored those sections while removing some outdated original research, and I added citations for each section. The banner at the top of the article also stated that there were potential problems with source reliability and overuse of primary sources. I know that the principal and counselors update the school website frequently, so I don't know what problem there might be with that source's reliability. I will continue to look for other sources that can be used for this article, but it seems to me there probably aren't going to be many other sources reporting the general details of a high school other than the high school's own website. In the meantime, I have removed the banner. I believe the article is now adequately sourced, although again I will continue to work on improving the sources.

message: Can't even see what the high school looks like. This is a building, not a person. Surely a better photo can be found?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.138.88.58 (talk) 05:19, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Sticking a "lousy photo" in the article is usually a good way to motivate someone to do something to correct it.  Ketchikan appears to be a special case, however.  The overwhelming majority of photos of Ketchikan on Commons were taken by cruise ship tourists, who have no desire or obligation to recognize landmarks beyond what they're spoon-fed by the tourism operators they deal with.  We might possibly have locals contributing to these projects, but obviously they haven't saw fit to pick up the slack.  I don't have time to check to confirm this, but I don't believe there's a single photo of the West End on Commons that was taken on the ground.  I scanned a small handful of historical photos several years ago, but they're of the old high school downtown, which burned down in 1976.

thread_title: Untitled

message: I reverted a fair amount of WP:BLP violations that took issue with the claim that Callaway won a race in 1973.  I simply removed mention of the win from the article. Although you have to look at the wiki markup to see it, the claim is sourced to the subject's website. Here's the paragraph as it read previously:
:In 1973, the racing driver, Reeves Callaway was not in a financial position to be able to continue his racing career, despite having just won the National Championship in SCCA's Formula Vee.http://www.callawaycars.com/ Like many out of work drivers, Callaway went to work as a driving instructor for Bob Bondurant's racing school.
In the midst of the vandalism, there was a site posted that purported to list the results sheet from the race showing that Callaway was disqualified. That site is here. Since I don't know a thing about racing, and the scan seemed to pass the "straight face" test, I list it here for more knowledgeable people to handle. Xymmax (talk) 20:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Flag of Mozambique

message: It includes the image of an AK-47 and is the only national flag in the world to feature such a modern rifle.

replies: text: No other current national flags contain any sort of a firearm, as can be verified at the gallery of sovereign-state flags.  Several do have more old-fashioned types of weapons on them, which is perhaps what the "modern" was meaning to get at?

Talk:Cairo–Haifa train bombings 1948

message: First of all, have a look at this link referenced from the List of massacres committed during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war :  this list says that on the 31 March two bombings happened :
34 - "Haifa (Jaffa) Train" Massacre - 31 March 1948
The "Haganah" Zionist gang blew up the Jaffa-Haifa Train" while passing near "Nataniya", killing 40 people.(34)
35 - "Cairo-Haifa Train" Massacre - 31 March 1948
The "Stern" Zionist gang planted mines in the "Cairo�Haifa" express train, killing 40 persons and injuring 
Strange no ? Two bomnbing on the same train with the same number of killed. Very accurate no doubt.
Now let's examine what soruces we have here. One is a Times report - does User:Zero0000:Zero0000 have a link for this ? The other is a Palstine Post link. Let's see what it actually says - it blames the "Stern Gang" for it, but why ? Is there any evidence linking the group ? None that we know. There are millions of articles in Israel linking attacks to certain organizations but until that organizaiton takes responsibility or admits it after being caught or Israel provides concrete proof of its involvement then one can't say that organization did it, simply a paper provides immediate-after-effect blame for that organization.
Furthermore, let's see what the paper said in the next day. Did it provide any statement from Lehi, some proof ? No, but it says on page 3 left column : "train service on the cairo hfaifa train has been resumed FOLLOWING THE WRECK near Binyamina on Wednesday"  - since when is a terrorist bomb a wreck ? Usually an ACCIDENT is a wreck. Needless to say, it seems together with the other 2 sources already cited, that this is wrongfully linked to Lehi or possibly to any Jewish organization.
