message: Why is Scott Draves (Spot) editing an article about himself?  This is blatant shameless self-promotion and hawking of wares in violation of Wikipedia's NPOV.--Editor5435 (talk) 02:42, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Spot wrote the following  that might be helpful in showing notability: 
As for the notability and sourcing for the articles about me and my work, this probably isn't the right place to address them in full but note that I didn't create these articles and they they have survived for a long time and been edited by a lot of people.  I have made some edits to them under my own name without any deception, but I believe I am allowed to correct basic factual errors.  If I have overstepped the rules then I apologize and invite an audit and the chance to provide references.  Re notability, have been covered in Wired Magazine (May 2001), Discover (twice), The New Yorker (July 2004), Valleywag, BoingBoing, etc etc.  My artwork appears on the cover of Leonardo and is permanently hosted on MoMA.org.

replies: text: One alternative I was thinking of is instead of a separate section in bright lights, have a mere sentence or two that briefly mentions he was charged with a criminal offence that caused him to be suspended from football for a period of time, and that the charges were later dropped? I agree that the charges causing the suspension affects his footballing career so perhaps that softer form of inclusion might be appropriate? --Mkativerata (talk) 01:35, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: If it was a minor criminal charge i think a couple of sentances would be appropiate, however since this is a major criminal charge, and it did affect his career in a large and significant way, it should have it's own section. Nath1991 (talk) 01:53, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Sharon Farrell

message: This is not my area as I was researching references connecting claims by people to a city. Sharon is from Sioux City according to TV,com and I was going to add more references to her article but could not find any credit to Death valley or Death Valley Days.--RifeIdeas Talk  20:34, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Death Valley claim 

message: With all respect, but except from her own claims and the author Matthew Polly, there is no second source to back this so called romantic relationship with the long deceased Bruce Lee. She wrote it down first in her Bio Sharon Farrell "Hollywood Princess" From Sioux City, Iowa (https://www.amazon.de/Sharon-Farrell-Hollywood-Princess-Sioux/dp/1477511113) back in 2013, then she told Matt Polly about it, and he brought it in his bio about Mr. Lee. Since it isn't backed up by any other Lee-Biographer and/or Historian, it shouldn't be potrayed on Wikipedia like a proven fact.
I go more into detail: Mrs Farrell stated once in a YouTube Interview (title:  Studio 411 - Sharon Farrell HD, at 18,10 minutes): "When i first met Bruce [Lee], he did a flip."
Even Mr. Polly stated in an other YT-Clip (The historical accuracy of Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story with Matthew Polly [between minute 7:00 and 7:30]) when speaking about the authenticity about the movie Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993): "Bruce Lee couldn't to flips, he wasn't Jackie Chan."
This should underline the story has holes or contradictions. Her accounts remind me very much on the accounts of Judyth Vary Baker, the woman who claimed she had an affair with Lee Harvey Oswald, even writing a book "Me & Lee".
Don't get me wrong, but Mrs. Farrell did put her romantic relationship with Lee in a time period when Lee's widow Linda Lee Cadwell was pregnant with their daughter Shannon, and Mr. Lee has no chance anymore to defend himself against such claims. To portray such a thing like a proven fact on Wikipedia, there should be more then one source. It's also very easy, forty years after the fact, for someone to boast of an affair with someone who is dead and can't deny the story.
The actor Christopher Jones claimed in his biography he had a romantic relationship with Sharon Tate during the time she was pregnant. But his Wikipedia page doesn't mention it. The reason should be obvious, because only Jones himself made these claims. In the "Talk" section of his Wiki-Article, there was a discussion about this subject too. 
Author Ed Sanders, who wrote books including The Family: The Story of Charles Manson's Dune Buggy Attack Battalion (1971) and Sharon Tate: A Life (2016), included Mr. Jones's claim in his book Sharon Tate: A Life, but he did put a "?" behind it, as it should be in such a case. But Mr. Polly included Mrs. Farrell's claim in his authored biography of Mr. Bruce Lee: A Life (2018) as if the claim are most likely true, even though, like Mr. Jones's, it was based on self-claims (by Mr. Jones and Mrs. Farell).--Alleingänger (talk) 13:46, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Francis Ronalds

message: Comment on text: It was at Kelmscott House that Sir Francis Ronalds set up a primitive telegraph in 1816.
The property was renamed Kelmscott House by William Morris.
Originally called The Retreat, Morris renamed it after the Oxfordshire village of Kelmscott where he had lived at Kelmscott Manor from June 1871.
In April 1879 Morris moved the family home again, this time renting an 18th-century mansion on Hammersmith's Upper Mall in West London. Owned by the novelist George MacDonald, Morris would name it Kelmscott House and re-decorate it according to his own taste.
