Talk:The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County

thread_title: Comment

message: The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County is both the title of a short story by Mark Twain, first published in the November 18, 1865, issue of the New York weekly The Saturday Press, and of the eponymous book of short stories published in 1867. Until March 2009, our article dealt primarily with the short story, but then the definition in the lede was made to refer primarily to the book – more precisely, the definition in the first sentence refers exclusively to the book, whereas the following sentence refers to "the title story", apparently assuming the reader somehow already knows that TCJFoCC is also a story, and, moreover, a story appearing in this collection.
In my opinion the story should be the primary topic. It was Twain's first important work, which proved extremely popular, was reprinted all over the country, and established his name nation-wide. References to TCJFoCC are almost always to the famous short story, and almost never to the book, which is virtually unknown.  --Lambiam 09:03, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk:William Verity Jr.

message: I put the following on User:Conscious talk page, but in the even others are interested, here is my clarification to the copyvio notice that I placed on the Verity article earlier
I don't that source presently. However, compare these two sentences:
He served the U.S. Navy as a lieutenant in the Pacific (1942-1946), and then returned to Armco. He progressed from handling personnel, to director of organizational planning and development (1957), to director of public relations (1961), to vice president and general manager of steel (1964), to executive vice president of Armco (1965), and finally to chairman of Armco's board (1971).
The above from  (which predates Wikipedia, and I believe is also a portion of a book in print), and the corresponding text from Wikipedia:
For a period of about four years (1942-1946), much of it during World War II, Verity served in the Pacific as a U.S. Navy lieutenant. Afterwards, he returned to Armco and advanced from handling personnel to director of organizational planning and development in 1957, to director of public relations in 1961, to vice president and general manager of steel in 1964, to executive vice president of Armco in 1965, and finally to chairman of Armco's board in 1971.
These are clearly so similar that Wikipedia is violating someone's copyright, even if we are not sure who. The phrasing and the cadence are identical. This kind of "light rewrite" would get a published book withdrawn from store shelves. I think other portions of the article may be suspect as well. Quatloo 19:26, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

His key line was, "Minding one's own business is a conservative value". He also invited anyone else in the audience who wanted to debate him to come forward.

However, I expect that -- like in the past few instances -- someone reverts these edits. If so, please state a reason and/or a policy that was violated. I do think that this information on his past is an important part of his bio, and that there's no reason to remove it just because Aames is embarrassed about it.

Chrisjnelson moved this to a name not supported by the reference provided in the infobox here, and not supported by the Pittsburgh Steelers official site.  I don't know if it was just plain vandalism or what, but this guy is clearly generally known as Willie Colon, and that's where this article should be in accordance with Wikipedia:Naming conventions.
