Wikipedia talk:Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/September-November 2007

message: It would be helpful to get some additional coordinators for the drive. While I don't think we want too many, we definitely need more than one to help verify reviews; preferably 3-5, with no more than 5, since that could cause too much conflicts. Are any of the coordinators of the previous July drive interested? Dr. Cash 23:44, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I am not exactly in favor of calling this the 'September 2007 Review Drive', mainly because the drive is intended to go beyond September, and be 3-months long.

message: Pace WP:DICT, this page is lexically driven: "neuroma" is more of a historically evolving lexical item than a specific nosological class. Despite my efforts to clean it up a bit, this page was, is and presumably must remain a bit of a rag bag, imo. I therefore propose to provide a list of lesions that are sometimes termed "neuroma", probably doing away with the current distinction between true neoplasms and pseudo-tumors. I also feel it may be useful to move the etymological information back up the page from where I moved it, broadly per MEDMOS. The bottom line here, imo, is to be encyclopedic and friendly to anyone who happens to come to this page to try to work out quite what the word "neuroma" may refer to.

replies: text: Quoting (almost) the Gershwin brothers, "De things dat yo' liable to read when yo' Google, / It ain't necessarily so". Few people alive today can remember what it was like when the Internet first was created. One of the most striking things everyone noticed in those days was how quickly mistakes proliferated. As soon as a misstatement was made on one site, a hundred copies sprang up everywhere. Unfortunately, this situation has only gotten worse in the meantime. This is why a statistical count of Google hits means nothing when it comes to finding reliable sources. The New Grove may not be 100% reliable, but it has a much better record that the Internet. It says 1930. The New York Times probably ranks somewhat lower in reliability, but Jacobs' obituary on 26 September 1983 says "He was 53 years old", which confirms 1930.

Talk:Nikolajs Štelbaums

message: It is hard to even find any information about this speed skater, apart from this article and its copy on other sites. I finally found his skating results at . He participated in the Soviet Allround Championships six times and his best result was a sixth place. He participated in the 10,000 m of the 1960 Winter Olympics, but was disqualified. He did not participate in any World or European Championships. He skated a time on the 10,000 m that was faster than the world record at the time, but it was not recognised by the International Skating Union. Even if his time had been recognised by the ISU, it would not have been a world record because Vladimir Shilykovskij skated more than 5 seconds faster than Shtelbaums that day. No national or international records, no national or international medals, nothing. He is mentioned in one or two other articles, but I do not think this person meets the notability criteria. wjmt 23:51, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: (somewhat late reply) I disagree. For obvious the internet presence of quite well-known figures from the 1950s and 1960s is going to be small - there's about 2,500 google hits for such a person as Alexey Kosygin, to take one example. From the DESG link, it appears he was the fastest 10,000 metre skater in the Soviet Union in 1959, but was too slow on the shorter distances to ever get to start at the allround championships. And he beat Kosichkin by eight seconds, and he won the bronze on the distance at the World Championships eight seconds behind Knut Johannesen - so there's an argument for him being one of the best in the world that year. That's a claim to notability; also, the bit about Shilykovskij is wrong, as he only skated faster in the same competition a year later, so had Shtelbaums' time from 1959 been approved, he would have been a world record holder for about one year. Having been the fastest in the world in an Olympic event is noteworthy, in my opinion. Sam Vimes | Address me 23:13, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: inspiration

message: I see this same claim other places, always with no documentation. Paul was certainly a strong guy and was the best Olympic lifter of his day, there's also a lot of legend attached to him. Another Wikipedia article on Progression of the bench press world record shows the first bench over 600 pounds occurring in '67, which I believe was well after Anderson's competitive lifting days. Certainly he could have continued to work out but I challenge anyone to show any genuine documentation of this lift...or some of the other non-competition lifts mentioned for that matter.
I find this article http://www.bobwhelan.com/history/panderson.html with statements attributed to Paul in which he says: 
"The 627-pound bench press is a little slight of what I've actually done. I could only pinpoint this particular lift when asked about it. If I am not mistaken, I did this either on Muscle Beach or with a group from the beach that gathered at my residence in Los Angeles."
So not only is there no photo or film documentation, he can't even specify exactly when or where he supposedly did the lift. This doesn't constitute documentation.Henrydeutschendorf (talk) 06:05, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
