Talk:John Evan

message: Is it just me, or do the time periods in the text "played keyboards for Jethro Tull from April to December 1970, and then from January 1971 to June 1980" actually seem odd?  I mean, unless there was a clear break over the Xmas/New Year period of 1970-71, then why not just say "played keyboards for Jethro Tull from April 1970 to June 1980"?

thread_title: Untitled

message: New to discussions, I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place for this comment.
The John Even page states that he currently runs a law firm and has appeared at Tull events.
The official Jethro Tull site states that Evan runs a building construction firm and has not been involved in music for several years.
I read somewhere that his building construction firm deals with renovating old airport buildings.
It is possible that my info (and the Tull website) is obsolete and the author's info is current, but I hope someone will verify Evan's current status and correct the original article if necessary.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Swwhit (talk • contribs) 19:16, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:John Faulkner

message: :Interestingly, Faulkner, a member of the Party's minority Left Faction, was still able to defeat right-wing 'heavy-weights' such as Rann and Crean, demonstrating his immense personal popularity within the party.
I've removed this sentance.  I didn't think it added much, and I think it's OR.  The rank and file is considerably to the left of most of the elected representatives, and it's long been known that Faulkner is popular, so it's no surprise that he won.

message: I removed these two, I couldn't find any proof that this happened. I included the information given in the National Football Teams in external links. The college career is also unsourced, but unlike with Wexford SC being shown instead of Palace/Brentford, this does not seem to contradict. However as it appears to have happened in 1988 it would mean he played for college, Wexford and two English teams at the same time. SMH Arnkellow (talk) 19:32, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk:John Fleck (actor)

message: I was hoping to maybe find a Creative Commons (CC) license image that could be used in this article. I found some images with suitable licensing (CC BY-NC 2.0) but ...
# John Fleck by rj sakai
# John Fleck by rj sakai
# John Fleck by rj sakai
# John Fleck by rj sakai
# John Fleck by rj sakai
... for various reasons (the angles, facial expressions, script and microphone in shot) I don't think any of them would make a good infobox image. He is clearly mid performance, and the images are full of character, maybe an image of him performing might not look too out of place in the article body. So unless someone takes the remix clause of Creative Commons really far and transforms and massively remixes these images something else is needed. Maybe someone could find a better image of Mr. Fleck from a Star Trek convention or something but unfortunately the above images were the best I could find that were definitely CC licensed. -- 109.76.194.218 (talk) 02:44, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Talk:John Forsythe

message: This statement is entirely incorrect: He graduated from Abraham Lincoln High School in Brooklyn at the age of 16, and began attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[5] 
He did not attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the 1930s nor start there when he was 16. The TCM biography should not be used as a source because it is not based on fact. There is no record at UNC-Chapel Hill of his enrollment at that age or at that time. John Forsythe/Freund was indeed an alumnus and a member of the General Alumni Association, having attended from 1944-1948 as part of the College for War Training (which included the V-5 and V-12 naval programs). 1944-1948 was the only time he was in Chapel Hill. 
This is based on research I was asked to conduct as a librarian at UNC and I have verified the information by looking at enrollment records and other published material in the North Carolina Collection at Wilson Library at UNC, including the Alumni Review published by the GAA of UNC-Chapel Hill.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atomlattice (talk • contribs) 14:52, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Talk:John Gall (author)

message: Reasons for merging the current article:
# The term "Gall's law" doesn't seem that notable. I cannot find book before 2006 mentioning that term.
# The current article is lacks references for more than five years
# The first version of the article started 15:03, 22 November 2005‎ by Dpm64 seems the most accurate (that is why I restored that version here)
# I question most of the statements added ever since:
## First the sentence Systemantics (a change in typography... comments the source not the quote itself 
## Second the sentence Although dubbed Gall's Law by some, the actual quote is not labeled as such in the original work.. First there is no source for this statement. Second I don't understand what the actual quote is not labeled as such has to say. 
## The statement The work cites Murphy's Law and the Peter Principle and is filled with similar sayings. relates to the book, and not the sentence 
## The statement Although the quote may seem to validate the merits of simple systems, it is preceded by the qualifier "A simple system may or may not work." (p. 70). could make sense. On the other hand, Gall's law is preceded by many other statements more or less related. 
## There are sorme source linking Gall's law to Agile software development  but (almost) none relating them to Extreme Programming.
The most adequate solution here seem to merge Gall's law here. -- Mdd (talk) 13:19, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Talk:John Gofman

message: Moved from article to talk page on April 7th, 2015 : "Gofman described himself a libertarian and spoke at several events sponsored by the Students for a Libertarian Society in 1979 and 1980." I cannot find any sourced reference about that. After some Google-searching, it appears that Gofman gave an interview to the Libertarian Review (which is not cited as a source, anyway), but I cannot find the interview itself on the web, so cannot check if Gofman said anything about himself feeling a libertarian and in what terms (so how important this might really be to the article). (Gofman's) antinuclear views were at the center of a polemic within the Libertarian movement several sources deal with, but this says nothing about Gofman's own political allegiances. Since the information is not verified, I think it is better stored in the talk page until somebody can tell/source more about this isolated aspect of Gofman's profile.
