Talk:William Magee (Medal of Honor)

message: Apparently there has been a book about this but it is not cited here. The description of him holding back a Confederate charge and saving a Union camp are the not the actions described in his official Medal of Honor citation which explicitly states that it happened during a charge and not a defensive action. It is unclear if the actions are the same event, different events and if both are allegedly fraudulent or just one. The use of scare quotes in the last sentence further confuses the issue.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moerster (talk • contribs) 18:19, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alleged Fraud--citations needed 

message: The book review at https://muse.jhu.edu/article/262520/pdf , of the book 
Drummer Boy Willie McGee, Civil War Hero and Fraud. By Thomas Fox. Jefferson, N.C.: McFarland, 2008. ISBN 978-0-7864-3289-9. Photographs. Appendixes. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Pp. 288. $35.00.
claims that the fraud in question is well known to historians and "In a brief 227 pages of text Fox tells the story of William McGee, perhaps the ultimate charlatan of, and in, American military history. As the author himself notes, a fictional account of the kinds of scams McGee pulled off would be criticized as implausible overreach on the part of the writer. Not even the most twisted creatures of a Dickens novel had the audacity to try most of what McGee actually pulled off in real life. But Fox nails down the truth."
A quote of this review article would seem dutiful as a stopgap acknowledgement of at last the existence of critical opinions; without such an acknowledgement this wikipedia entry risks being subtly deceptive: it does not claim that the official record is correct, but fails to acknowedge evidence that it is especially open to doubt. For the long  run, it seems that the aspiration must be that this page should cite whatever consensus there is among historians on this topic, or if there is still disagreement, what are teh versions of history being debated.

Talk:Ed Cunningham

message: In response to this.The only two links I see that meet newsblog are big12sports.com and huskerextra.com. my.journalstar.com is not a newsblog. Per the site (emphasis mine), "my.JournalStar.com is a civic social network for people, groups and businesses located in Nebraska... At my.JournalStar.com, every person can have a personal blog and photo gallery as well as a profile... You can post anything you’d like here, within reason. Check out terms of service for the full rundown of do’s and don’ts, but it basically boils down to common sense and common courtesy. If you wouldn’t say it in public, don’t post it in public." No where does the site claim to have editorial control over the posts at my.journalstar.com. (Source: the What is this place? link; have to click on the link since the link is a pop-up window.) Since people can post anything they want, and the site does not claim to have any editorial over site, my.JournalStar.com is considered a self published source, which is not a reliable source and inappropriate for use.
Regarding youtube. Since the youtube videos are of the event, they are the primary source of information. We can not use the event itself as the source, and claim the event is controversial when neither of the secondary sources (big12sports.com and huskerextra.com) make that claim. To do so is original research. The only reliable source that even mentions Cunningham is huskerextra.com, where the context of the article is about a meeting; not about a controversy. As such, we don't have a controversy to include. Akerans (talk) 21:54, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have included several verifiable links that provide evidence of his commentary controversial content, where the comments were directly responded to by head coaches of several teams.  There are other links for each instance, if those need to be included please let me know and I will do so.  Give me the opportunity to do so before removing the material, so we can discuss it here.  His commentary was quite controversial for a number of teams, from Penn State, to Nebraska, to Michigan, Iowa, the list goes on and on.  It is novel that Cunningham had such concern for certain issues, but to ignore the fact that his concern played into commentary controversy is doing a disservice to those affected by the commentary in question.  Thank you for your consideration in this matter. 2600:1005:B161:54AB:4AC:7527:51F2:8B76 (talk) 22:10, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Florida Gators football, 1910–19

message: I propose to merge the following articles into "Florida Gators football, 1910–1919":
1.  "1910 Florida Gators football team‎";
2.  "1911 Florida Gators football team‎";
3.  "1912 Florida Gators football team‎";
4.  "1913 Florida Gators football team‎";
5.  "1914 Florida Gators football team‎";
6.  "1915 Florida Gators football team‎";
7.  "1916 Florida Gators football team‎"; and
8.  "1917 Florida Gators football team‎."
My reasons for this proposed merger are straight-forward: (a) these are orphan articles; (b) they provide no information that is different than the article into which I propose to merge them; and (c) they do not fit the established pattern of Florida Gators football season lists by decades, from 1910 through 1999 (e.g., "Florida Gators football, 1950–1959").  If anyone objects or has a better idea, please discuss.  If no one objects by April 26, 2010, I will implement the proposed article merger.  Thanks.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 15:58, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I am not sure how or why we have created a duplicate page for "Florida Gators football, 1990–1999" in December 2009, but we have.  The newer page contents for the duplicate (1990–1999) need to be merged into the older, pre-existing article (1990–1998) in order to preserve the pre-December 2009 history and wiki links to related articles (all of which link to the older page), and the newer page then needs to be deleted.  After accomplishing the merge and deletion of the newer page, the resulting merged article can have its name changed to represent the full decade through 1999.

message: The wording seems quite biased. After all, the people who got firebombed were not innocent bystanders, they were soldiers in a war and, in fact, it was them who called the airstrike.
The "terrible tragedy" expression seems to imply that "throwing napalm on North-Korea soldiers" is morally good but "throwing napalm on British soldiers" is morally bad. It is akin to an editor from North Korea using the words "poetic justice" to describe the same event.
Independently of the opinions about the causes of the Korean war, a less charged (chauvinistic?) wording would be way better (v.g., "The bombing was over in...")  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.124.17.244 (talk) 13:09, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
