Talk:Thomas W. Chittum

message: Chittum's a bit off, but using words like "rants" (among other things written in the article) to describe his views shows obvious bias.  Perhaps something along the lines of this should be used? cornince 22:16, 6 Feb 2005 CST

This website does not appear to be functional. I heard about this person via an Amazon book he sells, but the official website (if firebaseskull.com is his) is just timing out on me. Can anyone else confirm it before we remove it from the article?--Saintlink 08:25, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The report mentioning Chittum as a possible war criminal--can we possibly get a link to that?  Perhaps the poster can go back and get it or tell us how to get it.66.21.213.254 06:44, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Chittum apparently put this in the main article and I moved here:
::I am Thomas W Chittum, and I have never even heard of the Citizens Alliance Party. Also, I am not and never have been a member of the American Nationalist Union, but I have contributed articles to their publication. 
::The reports of me being involved in that Medac pocket business are total baloney. I had left Croatia MONTHS PRIOR to that incident. My writings can be found at America First Books.
::My address is PO Box 83961 Gaithersburg MD 20878
Per WP:LIVING, I have removed the aforementioned material, which is uncited.  Yakuman (数え役満) 03:41, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's fine, but the remaining material in the article is uncited too. Unless we can find some reasonable sources that establish the notability of the subject we should think about deleting the article. -Will Beback · † · 04:43, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The remainder is a stub.  Yakuman (数え役満) 05:08, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but even stubs have to be sourced and concern notable topics. -Will Beback · † · 05:12, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You can make a ref tag as well as I can.  Yakuman (数え役満) 05:14, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've already added "fact" and "notability" tags. If nothing is added to address those issues then we should think about deleting the article. -Will Beback · † · 05:20, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

text: How did you obtain the citations so quickly? They don't appear to be available online. -Will Beback · † · 05:33, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I made the changes earlier, assuming that someone would step in and cleanup the article.  You start talking about notability, forcing that "someone" to be me. <Argh!>  So I fired up my private database account.  It comes in handy when nailing down facts.Yakuman (数え役満) 05:39, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know what you mean by "private database account". Are these citations online, but only avaialbe after paying an archive fee? If so can you provide the quotes which substantiate Chittum's notability? Simply being mentioned in an article doesn't meet the standards of WP:BIO. -Will Beback · † · 05:44, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The cites are there in periodicals mentioned.   Your insinuation that I'm making stuff up does not deserve a response.  I only jumped in out of fear that some admin tricks like speedy delete were coming.  I'm not endorsing the guy, but he's certainly notable.Yakuman (数え役満) 05:51, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not insinuating you made it up, but I'd like to see what they say that makes the guy notable. What is this private database account that you're referring to? Can I get access? As for notability, please see WP:BIO. Also, I doin't know what you mean by "admin tricks" but that doesn't sound like a nice thing. -Will Beback · † · 06:08, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
