Talk:Bill Russell

message: This was previously discussed on this page twelve years ago at #First NBA Af-Am coach. Some media outlets are currently reporting (and in the past have previously reported), erroneously, that Russell is the "first black head coach in professional sports" or in "North American professional sports" or "pro American sports" or similar. This is not actually true. Fritz Pollard was the first black head coach in pro American sports in the NFL in 1921. The New York Times obituary of Russell addresses this:  I've edited the article to change the claim of first black head coach in pro sports to first black head coach in the NBA, citing the NYT obit. There are other ways this could be phrased, such as "first black head coach in a major pro American sport", or maybe first black head coach in the modern era, but I think "major" and "modern area" is kind of subjective when applied to "pro sports" (as opposed to a specific sport). Anyway, thought I'd drop this explanatory note here. Levivich (talk) 15:21, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's fine per WP:DUE if that's how most reliable sources describe him, like here. A bigger Russell fan might want to vet this out further. It feels at least like something that might belong in an explanatory footnote, especially since this is an WP:FA.—Bagumba (talk) 16:07, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

try this, "Oven Trap" method. 
* Cover your plates, food, and appliances with plastic sheeting.
* Place the fruit (like a banana) on the middle rack of the oven.
* Leave the oven door overnight. The flies will then swarm towards the fruit.
* The next day, quietly close the oven door and set it to 300 degrees.
* After all the flies have roasted to their death, clean out the oven.

thread_title: NPOV tag

message: I just overhauled this article, and hopefully the article now has a neutral point of view.  However, now there's a new problem: other than the appellate court decision itself, the main source for the article is a 2003 Illinois Times article with at least one known error of fact: it keeps referring to the Florida company as "Burger King Corporation", which was not its name at the time, as the court case shows.  Since the research for the news article itself appears pretty light, this Wikipedia article should probably have at least one source unrelated to the Illinois Times, if one can be found.  (P.S.: Is it OK to remove the NPOV tag now?  I left it just because the template itself says to.) --Closeapple 11:05, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day/April 5, 2006

message: Why is the phrase "privately wracked with religious guilt" attached to St. Thomas More and put on the front page?  Surely this is a very anti-religious POV statement, which doesn't correspond to anything it St. Thomas More's life - presumably the author deduced it from St. Thomas More's ascetical practices, but these are things which, while foreign to modern culture, are very much part of the mainstream ascetical tradition with a spiritual purpose.  Perhaps the phrase
:"Although he coined the term Utopia, he was privately wracked with religious guilt, being prone to mortification and wearing a hair shirt"
could be replaced with something like:
:"St. Thomas More was an influential shaper of modern thought, introducing the term Utopia with his novel by the same name, and at the same time a devout Catholic, even embracing ascetical practices such as the use of a hair shirt."
I know there is not a lot of time left in the day, but it would be good if at least the main page was clearly NPOV.  --Tbook 19:34, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
