Talk:William Opdyke

message: Apparently, this question has been asked before (AfD linked to above): I'm concerned about the subject's notability. He has a few "points" in his favor:
* He apparently has an h-index of 10, which implies that he's somewhat well-known in his field. (This might be sufficient for tenure at many "research" universities.)
* His first listed paper alone has nearly 900 citations (which I assume was part of his dissertation).
* His dissertation is cited as "the first in-depth study of code refactoring as a software engineering technique". (Since it seems natural to re-examine one's work, I would assume that, in the general sense, "code refactoring" has been an aspect of software engineering since the beginning.)
I'm not sure these points are sufficient to show notability. Justin W Smith talk/stalk 19:03, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears he also published under the name "Bill Opdyke": google scholar results.  This would likely take his h-index to 11. Justin W Smith talk/stalk 19:13, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk:William R. Cox

message: Wayne Robbins was a weird menace, western, and mystery writer in his own right, rather than a nom de plume for Cox. The preponderance of his work was in the Popular Publications catalog. I will create a comprehensive page for him shortly and then remove the redirect to Cox. As a relation, I have access to his correspondence with PP, copies of the pulps in which his stories were published, some original typescripts and unpublished matter, and a thorough index of his work. His brother Ormond Robbins also wrote in the same genres, most notably as Dane Gregory in detective fiction, beginning the "defective detective" device that was in vogue for a short time. I will provide citations for both authors from recent anthologies and works on pulp history. It will take me a bit to put the two articles together. In the mean time, feel free to leave any suggestions below. Pulsadinura (talk) 19:23, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

message: "He very correctly understood that the fine art of self-promotion and the cult of personality would sell his books even if the poems themselves were second-rate." What? Where's the evidence MacDonald thought his books were second-rate? Or that he thought he could sell second-rate books. Or, the evidence he was 'correct'. (Presumably, the writer thinks he was correct because his writing did sell, but that begs the question of its second-ratedness.)

Talk:Wolcott Gibbs

message: I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 02:29, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bibliography 

message: The article's § Early life currently contains this claim: ...through his maternal grandmother, he was a direct descendant of U.S. President Martin Van Buren. The assertion is backed up by two citations. One is a bare-text reference to a book published in 1891, the other is to an online "Ancestry of George W. Bush", of all things.
The citation is apparently making reference to a couple of lines in the extended lineage information near the bottom of the page. There, Gibbs' maternal grandmother is listed as one Anna Vanderpool Van Buren. But her name is the only mention of a Van Buren or even a Vanderpool in that entire data dump, which provides no connection to Martin Van Buren. And approaching it from the other direction, no Anna Vanderpool Van Buren is listed in our Family of Martin Van Buren article. It all just feels sort of flimsy.
I'm not saying the article's claim isn't correct that his grandmother Anna (and therefore Wolcott) is related to President Van Buren. Merely that it feels way too much like WP:SYN / WP:OR to be making that claim, based on what's actually verifiable using the citations provided. -- FeRDNYC (talk) 14:20, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Wonderama

message: I think there's an error here.  If I remember correctly, the show's title didn't change to Kids Are People Too until the program was moved to the ABC network (possibly after cancellation by Metromedia), and it ran there well past 1977.  McAllister moved with the show, but was almost immediately replaced with a much younger host.  McAllister then launched a rival syndicated show which couldn't compete without a major network to promote it.  Can anyone confirm? 12.22.250.4 20:09, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

That section, in fact, reads like it was copypasted from somewhere else (his NYT obituary, perhaps? It reads like that). I suppose I should run the article through the copyvio detector. Daniel Case (talk) 14:31, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Xan Fielding

message: There is research about his complicated family background on this blog http://chater-genealogy.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/armenian-something-vivien-leigh-and-her_12.html which includes images of original documents. Prompted by this I have made a few edits, including about his mother.
Much of what is currently on the page about his family is contradicted by info on the Chater blog. For example his father was not "Percival Wallace Fielding" of the 50th Sikhs but Alexander James Lumsden Wallace of the 52nd Sikhs (Frontier Force). See also: The London Gazette, (18 July 1913 Issue 28738, Page 5144 and 6 April 1917, Issue 30011, Page 3344). Thus Xan's surname changed from his father's (Wallace) to an anglicised version of his mother's (Fielding). However what is currently there about his father has references: one is peerage.com which counts as not a reliable source (as self-published), another is to The Telegraph obituary (which is not on-line but is quoted here; http://patrickleighfermor.org/2011/06/18/xan-fielding-obituary-2/ ). The Telegraph obituary does not actually give his father's name but does say he was in the 50th Sikhs.
I am inclined to bring the page into line with the info on the Chater blog but thought I would pause and raise it on this Talk first.

Talk:Jean F. Cochois

message: "As a producer he creates albums which over the years are far from losing their magic and appeal. Instead they should become an integral part of the music selection and be rediscovered again and again.
Jean F. Cochois refrains from merely stringing together song after song but always has an overall concept in mind. Intros, interludes, lyrics and artwork are as important to him as emotions and the avoidance or deliberate use of cliché. The core of Jean F. Cochois aka The Timewriter is the idea to communicate with his audience. Not only as a producer, but also as a remixer, Jean F. Cochois has earned great respect."
