Talk:Charles Kuralt

message: The picture says that he is 72 but that is not possible because the article states that he died in 63. Either his date of death is wrong or the age in the caption should be changed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by VioletFem (talk • contribs) 17:21, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

message: So Kuralt didn't live up to the moral standards some people expected from him. Too bad. I agree that should be mentioned, but much shorter. His reputation is built on his work, not on his personal relations. I think two or three sentences should suffice. --Bernardoni (talk) 00:17, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The entire article is woefully lacking in sources, but the "Posthumous controversy" section contains some serious allegations (and based on what I remember, likely true) with no sources. This is shameful. Regardless of the accuracy of the information, it is more than a little serious (and possibly libelous) that there is nothing to back up this information. I know that Kuralt is deceased, which limits the applicability of WP:BLP, but he was a major public figure in recent times. I've placed a tag specific to that section. If there is no sourcing and no comments here within two weeks, I plan to remove the section. If anyone thinks he/she can find some sources within a reasonable period of time but you need more than two weeks, please leave a message. This can wait, but not for months.

replies: text: ok, added some sources, instead of editing article talk, how about editing article? Accotink2 talk 01:17, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for added sources. BTW, I have no obligation to spend time editing Charles Kuralt. It took me 30 seconds to write the comment above. Your suggestion is duly noted, and dismissed. Cresix (talk) 01:29, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: funny, took me 5 minutes to find sources, not in response to the deletion threat above. Accotink2 talk 01:35, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Good job. It takes me about that long to find sources in the articles I edit. BTW, last time I checked, sourcing is a Wikipedia policy, not a threat. Have a good day. Cresix (talk) 01:38, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: no actually WP:Before is policy, deleting unsourced contentious material is policy for BLP's WP:GRAPEVINE, not WP:BDP. nothing personal, deleting unnsourced material does not make the wiki "better". i was really talking to 71.36.204.109 above, who defended the material but did not source. deleting material on artificial deadlines is a threat. Accotink2 talk 15:16, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, actually WP:V is a policy, one of the very foundations of Wikipedia. I don't believe I suggested that I would nominate the article for deletion. I believe you have taken your innuendo and false accusations a bit too far. At first I was willing to tolerate it as a normal overreaction. I now suggest that you drop the personal focus on me and instead focus on the article. If you need a warning to encourage you to stop, then please consider this your first warning about personal attacks. I typically don't respond directly to an editor's continued personal attacks and instead go to WP:ANI, so I likely will add no more comments here unless other editors have something to say relevant to the article. Cresix (talk) 16:00, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

text: CNN seems to me like a perfectly adequate source for WP:V. It would even be adequate if he were alive, though then there might be a question of whether it was germane to his career, or whether he was sufficiently important that such personal information was relevant in any case.   This requirement is much relaxed once he is dead. But I changed the heading from  Controversy to Personal life--I do not see it as a controversy in the usual sense. A more specific title is possible, if anyone can construct one without negative implications. Titles must be neutral.    DGG ( talk ) 22:30, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright problem 

message: I do indeed remember Charles Kuralt hosting, by himself, the CBS Sunday Morning News,... but did he not also co-host the CBS (Regular) Morning News Show, with Diane Sawyer, in around 1980?  I seem to remember Charles had this job for a couple/few years, with Diane, until it's cancellation and replacement with another show...  Yet, *the same set* was saved for, and continued with, the Sunday Morning News, with Charles heading it (alone).  And that set still exists to this day (!), albeit in a somewhat rudimentary form.  Perhaps someone could correct me here, re the regular morning CBS program?  John G. Lewis (talk) 03:45, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

message: I worked at the Intimate Bookshop in Chapel Hill in the 1980's and Wallace Kuralt, brother of Charles, had an office there and was always referred to as the owner.--Marbus1 (talk) 01:44, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, Wally was the owner of the Intimate Bookshop. However, I removed it from this article as it is not relevant. My favorite book store back in the day though. Rublamb (talk) 08:49, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
