thread_title: Former law professor

message: * Source: 
The civil rights activist Timothy J. O'Brien, a PhD student at the University of Houston (and author of Mojo Hand: The Life and Music of Lightnin' Hopkins), accused Sheila Jackson Lee of working with Tom Delay in trying to redevelop the Fourth Ward while he was doing his master's degree. He then accused her of conspiring with Elwyn Lee, her husband, who has an administrative job at the University of Houston, of having his funding cut. Elwyn Lee said that the school would never do such a thing. 
In: 
* O'Brien had also accused Elwyn Lee of trying to stifle his research by using disciplinary charges filed against him; O'Brien stated his belief that his research could harm Sheila Jackson-Lee's political position.
(O'Brien has since died, due to cancer)
I have no comment on whether these charges were actually valid, and as O'Brien is gone there will likely be no further reliable sourced discussing these that have not been already published. If one does pursue getting this included in an article, make sure you have your sourcing ducks in a row and follow WP:BLP guidelines. For this article (Elwyn Lee) I would recommend expanding this article significantly first before adding this accusation, as otherwise it will be seen as WP:Undue weight (putting too much emphasis on this accusation)

thread_title: Lameness

message: The widespread story that the walls in the Mohrenstr. Underground station were faced with red marble slabs from the Reichskanzlei after the war is disputed, for example by geologists at TU Berlin, who have studied the matter and consulted expert masons. They could not have been salvaged from the ruin in a way that would have permitted their reuse for such a purpose. At best perhaps a storage depot containing these slabs (leftovers kept in case needed for repairs) somewhere could have survived the bombing et al. and been used. But there seems to be no evidence of such a store or its location or the subsequent use of anything it may have contained. The article "Mohrenstraße (Berlin U-Bahn") denies the rumor and cites evidence for the GDR source for the marble used. Unless anybody has strong objections, I would like to soften the assertion in the article a bit. Any opinions? --Remotelysensed (talk) 09:27, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

message: I believe the assertion that this was used bu Itlia terrorists is wrong.
During the seventies armed groups were used to "gambizzare" people believed to be colluded with the "system". "Gambizzare" means to shoot some bullets at the legs as form of punishment. This was usually done ith a pistol or a small machine gun at short range.
Though similar to kee-capping I think it cannot be listed here.

thread_title:  Nomination for Speedy Deletion 2006 

message: The lead paragraph currently reads: "the Aquarium Pyramid, which is one of the largest in the region". I suppose what is meant, is "largest aquariums in the region". But the sentence could also mean "largest pyramids in the region". (Probably also true, I expect...) The sentence should be reworded to better reflect the intended informational content.
Come to think of it - What does "largest aquarium in the region" even mean?? How large is the "region"? How many aquariums are there? My guess would be that every single aquatic for-profit zoological attraction in a 200-mile-radius could honestly be labeled "one of the largest in the region".
And the same is probably true for pyramids.
Sounds to me like the sentence was lifted from an advertising pamphlet. At any rate, the way it now stands, I don't think it gives any useful information to the reader.

Talk:Lubbock Lights

message: As it stood, the summary of the plover hypothesis suggested that Ruppelt's final opinion was that the lights were birds, which based on his own book is most emphatically not the case. I have abridged his concluding remarks in the article itself for fair use purposes, but here is the full text of the concluding paragraphs of Chapter 8:
"Personally I thought that the professors' lights might have been some kind of birds reflecting the light from mercury vapor street lights, but I was wrong. They weren't birds, they weren't refracted light, but they weren't spaceships. The lights that the professors saw - the backbone of the Lubbock Light series - have been positively identified as a very commonplace and easily explainable natural phenomenon.
It is very unfortunate that I can't divulge exactly the way the answer was found because it is an interesting story of how a scientist set up complete instrumentation to track down the lights and how he spent several months testing theory after theory until he finally hit upon the answer. Telling the story would lead to his identity and, in exchange for his story, I promised the man complete anonymity. But he fully convinced me that he had the answer, and after having heard hundreds of explanations of UFO's, I don't convince easily."
Though we might lament his reticence in refusing to reveal the correct explanation, I think it is quite clear that the suggestion that Ruppelt eventually supported the bird hypothesis is quite erroneous Vremya 06:19, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

message: An editor added the following bare link as reference to statement that Sam Houston called Margaret Theresa Wright the "Mother of Texas":
: http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/WW/fwr17_print.html
Another editor "corrected" it to:
: http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/fwr17_print.html
Neither link currently works. The "corrected" version doesn't show up in the Wayback Machine, making me suspect that the correcting editor merely assumed a typo (which s/he fixed) and didn't check the link. It took me 15 minutes to track down the only properly archived copy Wayback had and flesh out the full citations, then another 20 to correct the text to match what the sources actually say (adding   tags for info which neither source supports).
This is an excellent example of why we need more than bare links for references. Using complex citation templates isn't necessary; someone else (like me) can fill them in later. What's important is to include as much identifying information—page title, author, date of page, date the page was accessed, what work it was in and who published it—as one can. This way others can track down more copies or sources when the link breaks (which they frequently do!). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:08, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
