Talk:Clara Bow

message: The paragraph "A damaging court trial charging her secretary Daisy DeVoe with financial mismanagement, by Paramount-friendly Los Angeles District Attorney Burn Fitts, Paramount-friendly Los Angeles assistant District Attorney David Clark, and Paramount-friendly Los Angeles Superior Court Judge William C. Doran." isn't even a full sentence much less a paragraph. Very confusing as the paragraphs before and after have nothing to do with this paragraph. What happened? Why is this relevant? I honestly don't know. Needs more detail. SEKluth (talk) 21:16, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

I think that means that it would not be a big stretch to better the assessment for this article.
My specialty is working on citations. I have access to a couple of newspaper archives via the Wikipedia Library, so I think I can get fuller citations for many of the newspaper articles. I also think I can improve many of the other citations.
A question that I have is whether we should move the full book & scholarly article citations into the Sources section & link to them via  templates. Right now we have a mixed style, & WP:CITEVAR supports  & to . I would like to go ahead with this, unless there are any objections. Peaceray (talk) 18:32, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the explanation . I know it takes time to type all that out and it is appreciated. I think your idea about moving everything to the Sources section is a good one and making the citations consistent is even better :-) Best regards. MarnetteD|Talk 19:34, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: Upgrading citations, let's see if we can better the assessment class

message: I have encountered several citations that appear to be made up. I suspect some of them may have come from advertisements, & whoever placed them as citations did so without checking whether the original sources really existed. I am going to start noting & removing them when I cannot find them in the source that is given. Peaceray (talk) 17:15, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

message: The source is given a  I have access to this issue at The Los Angeles Times at . I can find mentions of Wine & Clara Bow in this issue, & an article by Grace Kingsley, but the latter does not write about either the movie or the subject. The quote from the article is  It does not appear in the issue. I have search on sub-strings at newspaper.com & on Google, & all that I have found is web pages that apparently were reusing the Wikipedia information without attribution (see WP:CIRCULAR) as they appear after the insertion of the quote by 81.231.109.201 . I will remove the material as unverified by the source. Peaceray (talk) 17:32, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
