Talk:Bill Wattenburg

message: Most of the stuff in the article should be deleted unless it can be backed up with sources. There appears to be a lot of original research and point-of-view statements. 4.243.146.96 01:43, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, better sourcing needed for many aspects of this article.  I'm attempting to source any of my new edits to this article, such as the one yesterday I added about Dr. Bill's call for US troops to go house to house in Oakland to look for weapons.

replies: text: Please make your edits as appropriate; I can own that title "gun grabber," having edited it into the article, but am open to other ways to name his confiscatory ideology.  Nonetheless, the fact remains that he cavalierly suggested to a major newspaper reporter that we use a standing army to piss all over the 2nd and 4th amendments to the United States Constitution, and isn't that quite silly!

message: :Image:Mn wattenburg1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: Following cancellation of Bill Wattenburg's show on KGO-AM radio in early December 2011, the station purged his Web page there.  However, it can still be viewed in archived form from February 2011 at the Wayback Machine, http://web.archive.org/web/20110129225019/http://kgoradio.com/sectional.asp?id=33179.  As of this writing, his personal site, http://www.wattenburg.us/, still works. Even though the article claims Bill Wattenburg has joined KSCO AM-1080 in Santa Cruz, California, since the split from KGO, the KSCO online program schedule does not reflect this (yet); it may still be in preliminary talks and not a done deal.  The edit to the article by anonymous editor 208.80.119.67 on 2011-12-10 may have been premature.  — QuicksilverT @ 22:01, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

message: I believe this issue should be clarified. He's not a physicist, as I understand, just some guy with weird, although trivial, ideas and a PhD degree, which per se hardly has any scientific meaning. Stating that "as a scientist, he had solved a problem of trains not visible on the computer screen" is just hilarious.
My personal opinion is that his knowledge of physics, as conveyed by his talks on the radio, is rudimentary, and at times plain wrong.
So, it would be a shame, I believe, to call him a scientist (except on par with Jesus Christ the Scientist) and/or a physicist. Talk show host, that's fine, though.
