Talk:Newcastle, Wyoming

message: Newcastle once boasted the world's only hand-dug oil well, a local landmark and tourist attraction that I had the pleasure of visiting in the mid-1980s.  The name was probably a tongue-in-cheek play on "Occidental Petroleum".  After its proprietor died in 2005, it became defunct.  I also remember eating breakfast in a Newcastle café; the ice water that was brought to my table had a distinct flavor of petroleum.  It might be good to add information to the article about oil exploration and production in the area. — QuicksilverT @ 22:30, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Johan Söderberg

message: I just removed the info about the film "The Voice" being "about how fundamentalist Christians and fundamentalist Muslims have found out that their basic values are much the same." It has nothing to do with this article, and the source it cited linked to this ridiculous review of the film that seemed to almost be written in gibberish. Here's a link to the review, if anyone wants to look at it. I think anyone will agree that it's fairly unreliable, and that info on "The Voice" is unnecessary for this article. -76.16.71.212 (talk) 19:55, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Atmo.se happens to be the homepage of the production company, so it's not a review. The first thing that happens in the film is that it says "Atmo presenterar", so it's a safe bet that the information is official. --Quevaal (talk) 11:46, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The article says he agreed to remove the label 'documentary' from his film, following Israeli pressure. That is not quite the same as saying (or even 'admitting') that the film is not a documentary.

Talk:Larry Fine (piano technician)

message: I met Larry fine at the NAMM show in the 1990s, and kept seeing him every year again. He is a sincere, modest and honest man, who has deep knowledge of pianos of all makes. His "Piano book" publication demonstrates a range of information that is rarely found in the today's world of ads and commercial tricks. He is not attached to any piano maker, thus making his independent study of pianos through his experience of many decades as a piano technician, who amassed deep and comprehensive knowledge of pianos of all makes. His encyclopedic knowledge is impressive, and it comes with his personal coolness, thoughtfulness and neutrality. I've read his books before, and I rely on Larry Fine's judgement of pianos. 
Larry Fine may not even remember me, as I never hired his services, nor paid for his advice. I bought his books in the 1990s, before I met him in person. Then, he was open for numerous conversations at several NAMM shows, and I am glad now that I had open and educational discussions with him in the company of other specialists and pianomakers. 
Thank you, Larry Fine, for your informative books, and for you educational and generous conversations. Regards, Steveshelokhonov 22:28, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And thanks for the warm-hearted assessment, but you should know that giving personal testimony is not the purpose of these pages -- this encyclopedia is a work of scholarship, so what we're aiming for is facts about our subject taken from recognized reference sources.  We're allowed to praise Larry Fine, but only by saying things like "he won award X from Y", "famous person Z says W about him", or (as we currently have) "his book is in its fourth edition".  If you know material of this kind, do feel free to put it in.  Thanks, Opus33 04:12, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:John Tarnoff

message: This entire article reads like it is an advertisement for whatever personal services the subject is shilling, rather than being a list of noteworthy achievements/contributions -- it isn't incredibly biographical either.
There appears to be a large amount of self-contributions to this as well, which while permitted is highly frowned upon and the seeming requirement to do so leads me to believe that this article doesn't meet the Notability guidelines, as I stated in my proposal to remove. 
Willing to discuss / hear other opinions on this? Perhaps just remove the corporate speech/self serving nature of the article.

Talk:Lawrence Beesley

message: Do we know the provenance of this photo? It is unlikely that the man pictured is Beesley as he was a 2nd class passenger and the gymnasium was part of the 1st class accommodations. I checked the source page and am concerned about its reliability. Several of the other images shown are definitely not from the Titanic but rather are of her sister ship RMS Olympic. There are very few interior photos of the Titanic and it is not at all uncommon for images of the Olympic to be passed off as Titanic. Probably the most common being images of the grand staircase. There are no known photographs of Titanic's 1st class staircase. Olympic's however, was more or less identical and so is often substituted and mislabeled, often in ignorance. -Ad Orientem (talk) 03:00, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Leonard C. Lewin

message: Per my edit comment, I changed two instances of Lewin "admitted" the report was a hoax, to Lewin "claimed" it was a hoax. I realize this word choice is contestable -- but the very distinction is the source of the controversy under discussion. Also, Lewin was not accused of being the author, thereby prompting some acknowledgment or "admission" of authorship. His name appeared on the title page. The salient distinction seems to be not Lewin's association with the Report -- which is uncontested and requires no "admission" -- but his claim regarding the Report's true purpose. The controversy is: was he telling the truth, or not? His authorship is definitely a claim, and only arguably an admission in the case that the controversy has been laid to rest; and the article delineates that it has not.
No matter what side of the debate one takes, the fact that there is a debate makes Lewin's authorship claims just that, claims. It seems that only if there were no controversy would "admitted" be more accurate than "claimed" here. Cheers.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Salon Essahj (talk • contribs) 19:39, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
