Talk:Tom Glavine

message: I made some edits to the Glavine page.  Apparently some anti-Glavine editor slipped in some subtle vandalism we missed, so I got rid of that.  I also split it up into Braves and Mets sections.  It seems to me more specific things about his Braves career is needed, so anyone who followed the Braves closely back then should try to add some things.  I added some things about his Mets career like the taxicab accident and his 1-hit shutout. Ags412 05:58, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Tom Hafey

message: I have gone through and added references to the obituary in The Age and to afltables.com.  However, these really only establish the barest facts of his career.  If someone has access to the book The Hafey Years - Reliving a golden era at Tigerland then they could usefully add many more citations.
I am also unable to find references for many of the statistics cited, and some of the sources I have found contradict each other (and sometimes themselves).  For instance, the obituary at the Herald Sun claims both that he coached 522 and 521 games, while afltables.com lists only 480.  I assume the latter only covers AFL and not VFL games, or perhaps doesn't cover his career at Shepparton.  If someone has a source for these statistics, please add it.  GoldenRing (talk) 08:52, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi. The AFL Tables page for Hafey's coaching record can be a bit misleading at first glance. The 480 is for the home and away season only, the 522 includes finals and is listed under "totals" to the right.

*In the early 70's Tom was in a band called "Hot Flash". They were very popular in Clubs in Massachusets, RI, and Connecticut...Hot Flash was the last band before forming Aerosmith...
*Tom Hamilton along wiht Brad was in a band called "Hot Flash" in the early and mid 70's He was the one that handled getting paid at closing time. I know because Hot Flash was the most popular band in Connecticut and played at my club in Newington, Ct called Brandy's.Hot Flash was managed by a local MA booking agent named Billy Masik..

message: A request came in through Wikipedia's account creation interface at http://toolserver.org/~acc. Here is the message:
:Hello: I am user <redacted>. I setup an account for my client Mr. Tom Hamilton under Tom Hamilton: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_H... However, he is asking me to change the name to use his full name such as: Thomas Hamilton (Musician) Can you help me please. I greatly appreciate your help.
This request seems legit, and it was repeated in a direct followup email. (Though not confirmed through OTRS).  In fact, the submitter did not create an account for Tom Hamilton, he just wants this page renamed. So I pass the request along to the editors here. Should Tom Hamilton (musician) be changed to Thomas Hamilton (musician)? It may not make a lot of difference, but WP:COMMONNAME would imply it should stay at the current title. (He is referred to as Tom in all the listed references). I went ahead and created a redirect from Thomas Hamilton (musician) to this article but I won't be taking any further action.

Talk:Tom Hawkins (basketball)

message: I remember Tom Hawkins as a very able NBA defender. It was a very common attitude is his day, as it should be today but isn't, that teams have two players in their starting five who are primarily defenders. These players would defer to the other three offensively. This attitude would in fact get opportunities for black players in the NBA of the late 50s and early 60s they otherwise might not have gotten. 
With Cincinnati, Hawkins was a reserve behind shooting forward Jack Twymann. A defensive-minded power forward like Bob Boozer would be paired with Twymann. When Jerry Lucas arrived to the Royals and surpassed Twymann as a threat, Hawkins was the defender who would be paired with Lucas. He then played ahead of former star Twymann. The Royals' best years were with Hawkins playing his key defensive role.
As a Laker, he was largely a reserve behind Elgin Baylor, but got to play in the NBA Finals.
A player with a great attitude and a willingness to excel defensively made Hawkins a player with few critics during his NBA career.
Tom Hawkins did not attend the elite private school known as the Francis W Parker school. He attended Parker High School on the south side of Chicago, a public high school. The link in your article is to the private school. Parker High School was renamed Paul Robeson High School in the 1970s.

message: I skimmed through the page and found quite a few misplaced commas and other issues that make it baffling that this article was ever given a "good" grade. While I've fixed what I found, I'm not confident enough to call this a "good" article without further review. In my opinion, a "good" article should be flawless when it comes to matters of grammar and punctuation (at least at such time the article is reviewed).

Talk:Tom Heinsohn

message: The photo caption for the photo in the side bar of this article's start states that the Celtics were in a game against the Philadelphis 76ers. The photo information says circa 1962; Bob Cousy is visible in the photo. If the date is correct, and that is Cousy, (who retired in 1963) then it is not the 76ers but the Philadelphia Warriors Boston was playing in that picture. The Warriors moved to San Francisco after the 1963 playoffs, and the Syracuse Nats did not move into Phila to become the Sixers until 1964.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:30B:8281:D4B0:6891:39CF:78AA:B928 (talk) 20:51, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

message: Just a thought, but Drogba didn't actually specify that he was talking about the referee's performance (or that solely) when he said "it's a fucking disgrace", even if the Independent seem to imply that, intentionally or not. A lot of the media, including the Guardian, seem to think the "it" Drogba was referring to was the entire spectacle, which he apparently believed to be the result of a fix and a UEFA conspiracy. I certainly took him to be referring to something other than just the referee's performance. Either way, he didn't specify that he just meant the referee, and hasn't made himself clear since. Should we really be claiming that he called the referee's performance a disgrace when he didn't actually say that and it isn't clear exactly what he meant? MarkB79 (talk) 00:43, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Willamette Week reported: "The fact is that since the passage of Measure 5 in 1990, the Portland school district has suffered while more rural districts like Snodgrass' have benefited. Gresham-Barlow, for example, has seen its budget jump from $43.3 million in 1991-92 to $57.9 million in 1998-99--a 33.7 percent increase. More important, per-student moneys in the district have gone up 20.6 percent, from $3,859 to $4,656. During the same period, Portland's public-school budget has gone down from $285 million to $279 million, and per-student money has dropped 2.4 percent, from $4,736 to $4,619." http://wweek.com/html/leada112498.html Is that adequate reference?
