Talk:List of people from Montana

message: This list seems amazingly complete and asserts notability and location within Montana. All lists seem to get challenged on the basis that they are lists, but if anything was to be challenged I assume it would be the appropriateness of the "Adult entertainment" section (I feel it is appropriate), and I would expect debates about notability within all other sections (this is also appropriate, when civil).

replies: text: Thanks for the feedback.  Yes, I can see your point as to the Adult section, but I agree that it has a place.  As to notability, I am not prepared to defend each listee as to their worthiness -- particularly in the "Athletics" section.  My intention was rather to cast as wide a net as possible and let the community sort out those that don't belong. Deejayk 04:50, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Feedback

message: Looking at this list again after a few months, I have to say I'm much less pleased with it now.  It seems to primarily be an enumeration of obscure professional athletes, a great many of whom will likely never have their own Wikipedia articles, and some who have only a relatively minor connection to Montana.  To bring a little balance to the list, I'd suggest one of two possibilities:  either limit the list to people who already have Wikipedia articles (there's precedent for that elsewhere), or move the pro athletes into a list of their own.  I'm not sure there'd be much support for this, but I thought I'd throw it out. Pitamakan 18:27, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Redundancy

message: Right now the article doesn't have a lead that complies with WP:FL?  Specifically: 2.Lead. It has an engaging lead that introduces the subject and defines the scope and inclusion criteria.
Although the lead I wrote above may not be the best, it does comply with both the FL criteria and WP:Lead (although List of may not be appropriate).  I randomly looked at a few featured lists: List of birds of California for example has a clear lead that leaves no doubt about inclusion criteria.--Mike Cline (talk) 15:53, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, feel free to take a stab at it. Is there a FL that you like that is of people (from whatever college or whatever) that is a good example? PumpkinSky talk 16:03, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems adequate for now.  I'd finish off the list and criterion and tweak the lead last. Montanabw(talk) 18:49, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: About the lead

message: We should decide whether will want a bulleted list format or table format.  Using both is confusing and will cause it to fail FA.  I much favor the bulleted list as it is easier to edit.  The Athletes section is a good standard to follow. All entries should have the same format. All entries should have the same (birth-death) format and each entry should be clear on the period of residence in Montana. --Mike Cline (talk) 17:23, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It has both because I'm in the middle of this. I started making them tables because all the recent FLs are tables, at least that I saw. Tables make format and appearance much more consistent too. I really think we should stick with tables. PumpkinSky talk 17:44, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: IF we have to for FL, I guess we have to, but personally I hate the charts, they are hard to add new stuff to due to the formatting, but that's just me and because I'm lazy.  The only time they make sense is when you have photos attached to most entries (like List of United States federal courthouses in Montana).  I like the sections with simple lists and ref tags after each would work fine with me.  (I do think all links have to have refs for FL, don't they??). Montanabw(talk) 18:49, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

message: We might want to consider eliminating the Reference column from the table and just add the  inline after the comments.  I think it will provide a cleaner appearance and will certainly remove a lot of whitespace which the 4th column takes up.

replies: text: I've seen FLs with the refs in other spots than a separate a column and I think they usually look tacky and the refs are hard to find. I think the separate column makes it nice and neat and easy to find. I think the white space argument is a red herring as pretty much everyone has a wide screen monitor nowadays.

replies: text:  I'd favor merging them in with actors. I mean, it IS "film" I guess.  I kind of hate to see that sort of stuff split out and highlighted.  (I'd kind of wish is wasn't there at all, but oh well, WP:NOTCENSORED)   I mean, I don't think much of that sort as "actors" either, but then, there's an argument to be made that, oh, for example, Patrick Duffy or Dirk Benedict can't act their way out of a paper bag, so who am I to judge quality?

text: Yeah, but rule of 5 is probably meant to be broken.  And think of what a mess we'd have if we applied it too literally -- say if we split out "authors" (I still like "Writers" better, FYI), into nonfiction writers, novelists, poets, essayists, growly curmudgeons, blah, blah, blah.

message: #How many of the vacation home owners do we want to add and by what criterion?  I put in a couple that I know to be more permanent in MT than anywhere else, but what about the others?  I am specifically thinking of the following who seem to like their part-time Montana identity:  Michael Keaton (who crashed the Bozeman Obama rally, annoying everyone there), Huey Lewis (who shut down Sleeping Child Hot Springs to make it into his own club and tried--but failed-- to do the same with the Mitchell Slough), Brooke Shields (I think still has a home south of Big Timber), Tom Brokaw (owns ranch), David Letterman (owns ranch, talks about it a lot on his show, brought Willie Nelson to Augusta for a concert, so he's popular there), etc.  Montanabw(talk) 20:27, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There's Peter Fonda too, I'd include him. Brokaw too. Kemmis I can see moving. If they just occassionally visit or stay a few months a year, eh prob not, but otherwise yes. Didn't John Wayne have a home near Bozeman, and some of the silent movie stars? Anyone born or lived in MT for at least a year or attended college for a continusous year or more I'd definitely say can be included. the part time residents, we'd need to get a consensus on.PumpkinSky talk 20:43, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Fonda's already on.  When I lived in Bozeman in the 70s, it was a recreational activity to see how often he appeared in the police blotter with yet another speeding ticket.   We also have to check on Dennis Quaid.  He used to hang out with that Paradise Valley bunch a lot.  I don't hear about John Wayne up here, though, just like I have issues with Frederic Remington being on the list because he visited a couple of times.   I think an example of where to draw the line might be Robert Redford, a definite NO, even though he's filmed movies here and been around a lot.  Or, Jimmy Carter, who's been known to sneak up here a lot to go fishing.  But NOT on the list.  (So has Sandra Day O'Connor, actually). This is mostly your project, I'll let you make the call (I also hate editing the stuff that's been put into chart format!)

replies: text: I'd say it's all about refs.  That particular article was 1994 (I split as a resident in 1988, beat the stampede out of there prior to the invasion), so I guess my thinking is looking for actual evidence of residency, as opposed to small business investment and a vacation cabin.  I don't know where precisely to draw the line, but some evidence that they didn't just fly in on a jet, hide out at The Stock Farm or the Yellowstone Club, then fly away again having no need to interact with the unwashed locals (after all, most of them DO wash) would be useful.  this site has a long list,  but does ownership constitute "being from" Montana?  For example, Letterman self-identifies as a part-time Montanan, Huey Lewis has sued to protect his little paradise, and I was there when Keaton crashed the rally (I was also there when Huey tried to crash a Bob Dylan concert in Missoula and jam with the band, but Bobby D only deigned to permit him to jam with the opening act. Was a good LOL), but on the other hand, I can't find much at all on, say, Whoopi actually living here.  She seems to have no interviews where she mentions being here, no one other than a few real estate promoters seem to mention her being here, etc.  I suppose it's all about finding a ref that connects them to actually BEING here. (i.e. Whoopi may be on the "not" side of the line??)  Does that work?? Montanabw(talk) 21:48, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

text: Legislators definitely should be their own list. The only way to make this one smaller is 1) remove people in it and/or not add any more 2) create sublists like I did with the football guys. When doing that leave a "main" link and soem sample entries. A main list of nothing but main links would be really boring. As we move more to sub lists, this one will get smaller. I'd say anything with over 15 entries warrants a sublist. I'll gladly make any needed sublists and run them through FLC, giving credit to both of you too. Then when that's done we can have a featured topic. I want the lists to be high quality, informative, and interesting. Together we can make this happen.PumpkinSky talk 21:04, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
