thread_title: Book Citation

message: :Although the above comment was long ago, I have recently been trying to get to the bottom of this. When editing the (much extended) article - mainly to format the huge list of references - I came across the  to-and-fro regarding possible Klan membership. Looking into some of the sources used in past versions of the page to say Thornton  a member and the current ones used to support that he was , it seems to be very far from clear (either way). 
:I am not attempting to introduce WP:OR in any way, just thought I'd detail what I find here (and will add to it, if I find out more):
#2006 - Phillips: White Metropolis. Phillips cites as his source for this the book: 
# Payne, 1994, Big D, (seemingly) the first place such an imputation was publicly made. 
# In the second edition of Big D is a note to the effect that  source was a handwritten document that had been in an archive collection of the Historical Society since 1942. (Perhaps) interestingly, Phillips gives a cite just a couple of lines  further on from this (on p.86) as sourced to, firstly to another page of Big D, and secondly to:
# Jackson, 1967 p.77  
:On page 77 is all about the State Fair and "Klan Day". However, on page 72 of Jackson, a W. L. Thornton is named as "Klan campaign manager", who appointed a "Committee of One Hundred to raise the necessary ten thousand dollars" and "secured permission to have Klan supervisors in all 104 County precincts". 
:A different person with a very similar name, it would seem? And, according to the WP editor who largely created the current article, R.L Thornton had a brother called W.L., who was a Klansman. I have no idea if this is true, or verifiable. However, it does seem possible that there may have been some form of "Citogenesis" at play here. AukusRuckus (talk) 11:17, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

So far this article does not appear to have a single secondary source (the blog post does not even mention the subject). So, refimprove and notability tags are clearly appropriate.

Talk:Robert Dale Rowell

message: :The are notability issues with this subject. A career criminal that killed at least two people, with what appears to be a lost timeline, was executed. The article, that can not be cleared up by any of the non-cited sources, seems to omit how a person convicted in 1980 to 30 years + 30 years +30 years, concurrent for a robbery spree of two stores and a restaurant, + 8 years (voluntary manslaughter in jail)= 38 years, that did not escape nor apparently paroled, can commit murder in 1993. 
:There is controversy concerning the sites used that supposedly back up article content. prodeathpenalty.com gives this information:
*"Rowell started shooting with a 25 caliber pistol striking all three victims, killing Wright and Raymond David Mata.".
*"UPDATE: Tuesday night Robert Rowell, 50, was executed for fatally shooting three people at a Houston crack house. A third person was wounded and left paralyzed.".
:texas attorneygeneral.gov states:
*"Mata died from a gunshot wound, but he had also been struck on the back of his head with a hammer-type instrument. Wright and Perez survived.".
:clarkprosecutor.org has the exact same info as the Attorney general site and the statistics also are:
*51st murderer executed in U.S. in 2005
*995th murderer executed in U.S. since 1976
*18th murderer executed in Texas in 2005
*354th murderer executed in Texas since 1976 
:It is more-than-likely the Texas Attorney General site is the more reliable but the Plainview Daily Herald, published with the title Killer in crack house shooting executed, by Michael Graczyk: Published 2005-11-14, gives the following: A 1980 robbery spree that included a shootout with a Houston police officer at a restaurant ended with his arrest while he hid under a car in a parking lot and got him a 30-year sentence. Two years later, prison records show he fatally stabbed a fellow inmate at the Ramsey I prison in Brazoria County, earning him a manslaughter conviction and another eight-year prison term. In June 1991, however, he was released under mandatory supervision only to be arrested two years later for the crack house shootings.
:Rowell v. Dretke states: 
*"Rowell was convicted and sentenced to death in April 1994 for the capital offense of murdering Raymond David Mata while in the course of committing or attempting to commit robbery.".  
:This gives some incite on the subject being released, and there is the trivia about the man that was paralyzed, but I can not find enough notability, other than the one thing, to warrant inclusion on Wikipedia. Otr500 (talk) 07:25, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Robin Lynn Macy

message: Belle Plaine has lost population in four out of the last six decades. It's a quaint and lovely, formerly quiet town whose demise was accelerated by the 24-hour din of the railroad whistles. The endless whistles have substantially reduced the quality of life of residents. That issue should have been addressed in the Environmental Impact Report (E.I.R.) when the line was double-tracked but seems not to have sufficiently been done. The preservation efforts of Macy and her friends will likely breathe new life into the town that might have otherwise disappeared in the near future.
