thread_title: old comments

message: If anyone is reading this page, I've tried to stop an IP from changing the pre-existing style of the article (from Thomas' to Thomas's, as well as other nouns that end in s). See MOS:POSS. I've even left two comments on their Talk page. They're not listening, and I have no basis for a fourth revert. Also, out of ignorance as to Wikipedia style, the IP is also putting quotation marks outside periods. See MOS:LQ.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:10, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Style 

message: I believe that this article is somewhat incorrect. Thomas, in fact, was working as a janitor at Vanderbilt  university before blalock took him on. He hired Thomas as his surgical assistant. You may want to consider adding this info. Look it up, it can be verified. MintyNinja41 (talk)
     I believe you're correct. Vivien Thomas was hired as a maintenance worker (janitor) at Vanderbilt when Blalock "discovered" him. He made Thomas his      laboratory assistant. I'll add this information as soon as I can; verified by Dr. Thomas's book, "Partners of the Heart".

thread_title: Detected inaccuracy

message: The article states as follows in the lead-in: "A documentary based on his life, Something the Lord Made, in May 2004 on HBO." This in incorrect. Something the Lord Made is a 2004 HBO movie dramatization based on Vivien Thomas's book, "Partners of the Heart". It is not a documentary. It stars Alan Rickman as Alfred Blalock, Mos Def as Vivien Thomas, and Mary Stuart Masterson as Helen Taussig. 
The PBS series, "The American Experience" produced a documentary on Dr. Thomas's life in 2003.
I apologize if this sounds critical, but the line, "A documentary based on his life, Something the Lord Made, in May 2004 on HBO," in not a grammatically correct sentence.
I will undertake these corrections as soon as I find my copy of "Partners of the Heart", and the correct citations for the 2004 HBO movie and the 2003 PBS documentary.
