Talk:Thomas S. Bocock

message: Though I don't have the time to do original research, I tweaked this article after chatting with a few people last 2 months who mentioned Bocock specifically as important in establishing the Black Codes and disenfranchising African American voters. Those comments may explain why the material I added yesterday is in large type in front of the entryway. However, Bocock doesn't figure in either of the two good recent books I consulted in our local library's Virginia history room (Wallenstein's Blue Laws and Black Codes published by U Va in 2004 or Heinemann, Kolp, Parent and Shade's Old Dominion, New Commonwealth which U Va. published in 2007 and may be a common Virginia history textbook). 
I changed the middle name because I trust the Library of Virginia's diligence, and noticed that the article on geneology.com which use Salem as his middle name appears very similar to that of the bioguide.congress.com which uses Stanley as his middle name. A recent book (2014) whose excerpt I found through google and to which I added a ref, mentions that no biography of him was written and also gives Bocock's middle name as Stanley. Since I noticed that the author's name is given as both Wakelyn and Vakelyn in the same entry, I discounted the carefulness of the research.Jweaver28 (talk) 19:02, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: No one is going to call little Perognathus a kangaroo rat.  The other genera tend to have other names that are more commonly used (such as kangaroo mice).  The vast majority of the time that people say kangaroo rat, they're probably talking about Dipodomys.

Talk:Samuel Hardy

message: Prabook says he died of an aneurism in New York City and was buried at St. Paul's churchyard in that city, as well as that the lady to whom he was engaged died before him (so he had no children). Clearly, he could have been disinterred in NYC and reinterred elsewhere, but if so, re-interment would probably be about as easy in Isle of Wight County with family members as in Philadelphia. Also, I cannot find the disputed eulogy, as the page which supposedly has it doesn't display it nor a link, and the supposed will page on ancestry.com doesn't actually show Sam Hardy's final testament (which is usual for Virginia wills, tho West Virginia and some other states put old wills onlin). Since ancestry.com does display a document from his father Richard in 1781, and searches for William Hardy in census records using dates in the 1770s produce no hits, his executors may actually have been his brothers despite ancestry's catalog-type entry.Jweaver28 (talk) 21:12, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Talk:John R. Vines

message: Should there be a new paragraph with a discussion of LTG Vines' unwillingness to endorse the upgrade of SFC Cashe's Silver Star to the Medal of Honor?  SFC Cashe's battalion commander, then-LTC Brito (now himself a 3-star general) has openly remarked that the upgrade was slowed by his inability to get the original award approver's endorsement of the upgrade.  This was for a situation that was so openly deserving of the MoH, it truly makes one incredulous that anyone would not want to support it.  As this was the last leadership position held by LTG Vine, it is a bit of a mark against his personal legacy.  Two possible reasons are a hesitancy by senior leaders to change awards already approved, afraid this showed signs of incompetence, or a bit of latent racism in not nominating a black enlisted man for the MoH.

Anyway, espionage is a crime, even if you're spying for the good guys. And it can be called a crime even if a court has not made any determination. For example the Zodiac Killer was a criminal even though he was never caught. And even if you don't believe that espionage against an illegitimate government should count as a crime, then the illegitimate government itself is the crime being referenced. So there was definitely a crime of some sort going on. Remember, we're not making a judicial determination here. We're just indexing an article.

I am aware that what I say below is WP:OR, but I think the official records, which are accessible online, still carry some weight. I am not suggesting to include this information into the article right away, but to look for reliable secondary sources that cover this, which we can then use:
Hazel's birth was registered in Fort Riley, Kansas, on 3 October 1894, where her father was stationed at the time.  The parents only moved to Arizona around 1896 or 1897. Hazel M. Blauser is listed in the 1900 census as living at Fort Huachuca, Cochise, Arizona Territory, and having been born in Kansas in October 1894; and in the 1910 census as living at Elgin, Santa Cruz, Arizona, and having been born in Kansas 15 years prior.
