Talk:USS Narraguagas

message: This fake info has stood for so long in this article that it has spread to other sites who are copying content from Wikipedia. The confusion may be understandable, since the USS Naraguagas did bear that name until 1956, but even ten minutes of googling should have alerted the unknown editor that there's something wrong with this:
* Pictures of the AOG 32 and the Esso Maracaibo which did strike the bridge don't match at all. The Narraguagas only has a single superstructure aft.
* Several reports about the accident show that the involved tanker was carrying crude, not gasoline, was bigger (236,000 barrels of crude calculate to more than 32,000 tons weight!) and longer (see photos). Under no circumstance would a tank ship of about 2200 tons have been called a “supertanker“ in 1964.
* Detailed reports about USS Narraguagas prove that she only had been named Esso Maracaibo until 1956. Google also provides hits for the rather different ship which became the second one to bear that name in 1959.
So, pls don't reinsert that false information into this article! It wasn't the Narraguagas which rammed the bridge, but the MV Esso Maracaibo (II). Gray62 (talk) 08:39, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Talk:W. R. Myers High School shooting

message: Why not put the killer's name on here now that has been released?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.4.181.243 (talk) 18:07, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it is a legal quagmire, more than anything.  Smith's name was briefly released when he escaped as a public safety issue.  However, once he was recaptured, the press was no longer legally allowed to release his name becuase of the YOA.  Of course, that is a patently ridiculous aspect of this case, given you really can't put the genie back in the bottle once you release it, but that doesn't stop the government from trying, does it?  I personally don't think that having his name on the article is a problem, but others do, so so be it.  It does kinda suck that an encyclopedia has to hide common knowledge becuase of some legal stupidity, but that's life. Resolute 19:35, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The issue of the legality of Wikepedia publishing the name of a Canadian youth offender has been discussed on at least one other page: Lethbridge murders and on that page all attempts to remove the name of the young murderer were reverted. The Talk page took the line that since Wikipedia isn't hosted in Canada it's not subject to Canadian laws. I believe it might be illegal for anyone in Canada to edit a page that does identify a Young Offender, but I'm not a lawyer. It certainly is odd to see 2 pages come to opposite conclusions about what is allowed. Meters (talk) 00:07, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

text: For that matter, since this article (Myers High School) contains at at least one link to a site that does directly identify the killer, who are we kidding? His name may not be in the Wikipedia article, but we're sure making it public. Meters (talk) 00:16, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I would suggest re-adding it then, per the other article you mentioned, and it's DRV case.  As I said, you can't put the genie back in the bottle.

thread_title:  NPOV dispute 

message: I've reverted this edit  due to multiple problems. First of all, it claims multiple endorsements that are not described in the source. Secondly, it's not encyclopedic. See Barack Obama for example; he had a few endorsements that are mentioned in the article, such as from Hillary Clinton. But he also had tons of endorsements that are not mentioned, simply because they do not rise to the level of what is worth including in an encyclopedia. Lastly, this article has a history of highly-promotional IP edits. This pattern raises WP:COI concerns.Adoring nanny (talk) 04:22, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Carl W. Buehner

message: I'm not certain about which part of this article requires more citations?
It's rather ambiguous. For example:
* Is this in reference to the biographical information about Mr. Beuhner?
* If so, which additional citations are required? Death certificate? Church records? The associated Hoover files? ;-)
* Is this reference to the quotation ascription?
* If so, I would think that the earliest published version of the quote would be the actual answer; similar to how the US Patent office handles the originality of new patent claims.
It seems to me that "Famous Quotes" are often be incorrectly attributed one, or a combination of,the following reasons (which is by no means conclusive):
(btw, no pun intended by the use of quotation marks around "Famous Quotes"...)
# The date of the original quotation is relatively old.
# The author of the quote is relatively obscure.
# The limited scope of the audience, that actually heard and/or reported the quote.
I believe this to be particularly true if, in conjunction with above examples, the source date precedes the advent of the omnipresent Internet. :-)
And repeated, in whole or part, by a more recent, and arguably more popular writer,
Due to the presumably limited scope of the author's audience, I might be inclined to recognize that there will be a correspondingly limited set of available citations.
Which brings me to these two simple points:
* If the citation referring to a book that is verifiably published in 1971, which ascribes the quote.Mr. Buehner, and
* There are no prior attributions before 1971, then my question becomes:
What further citation is required?

Talk:Lloyd Schermer

message: This part seems a little out there, to be honest:
"In 1978, at the end of China’s Cultural Revolution he established the first joint venture of an American firm in China with People’s Daily. He helped establish the English language newspaper, China Daily, and published China Trade News in this country. He was the first foreigner allowed to make an address in People’s Daily. The joint venture placed the first advertising ever carried in People’s Daily and other Chinese publications. Lee published several books on China including its first Official Tourist Guide in cooperation with the China International Tourist Agency. The joint venture was given the rights to place all advertising from the West in all of the publications in China. It also had the rights to publish all books coming out of China in the West other than in Japan."
Would be great if we could find a proper source. I've found this one: https://www.aspentimes.com/news/a-man-of-letters/, which repeats the info without providing its own source, so it may be that Wikipedia itself was used as a source here, making the sourcing circular (wouldn't be the first time I come across such a case).

Talk:Thomas de Rossy

message: It is clear that a lot of work has gone into this article, but the English expression is not good.  The Pre-episcopal career section needs to be totally re-written for clarity and the following long, complicated, sentences need to be revised to allow for easier readability:
*By 1375 Thomas, now vicar general of the Franciscan Order in Scotland, was running out of money, making the completion of his studies in Paris uncertain; in this year and for that reason, Pope Gregory XI wrote to Walter de Wardlaw, Bishop of Glasgow, authorising Walter (a renowned scholar himself) and other doctors to grant Thomas, if they found him "fit", a Licentiate and a Doctorate in Theology so that Thomas could legally teach.[8]
*Although no "crusade" ever took place, around 1384 Thomas issued an invitation to Henry Dispenser, Bishop of Norwich, with an open invitation to any other English bishop, to debate with come to a debate with him, or, if they preferred, to fight him in single combat.[21]
*One charter of his survives, dated July 16, 1381, through which he confirmed a grant of the church of Buittle to Sweetheart Abbey; the charter was issued at Kirkchrist in Twynholm parish, and was confirmed by the (Avignon) Pope on October 18 when Rossy himself was present at the papal court.[24] 
*His Quaestio de Conceptione Virginis Immaculatae, following the ideas of Duns Scotus, is a reiteration of the arguments for the Immaculate Conception and refutation of many of the scholars opposed to it and their arguments, including those of Bernard of Clairvaux, Giles of Rome, Bonaventure O. F. M., Richard Middleton, Facinus de Ast, Robert Cowton O. F. M., Alexander of Hales and Gregory of Rimini.[30] 
*Rossy's second work, the Tractatus Episcopi Candidae Casae de Regno Scotiae in Facto Schismatis contra Anglicos suos Vicinos is a defense of Clement VII and an attack on the legitimacy of "Bartolomeo of Bari" (i.e. Urban VI); it contains a long, detailed account of the events leading up to the Schism partially derived from Cardinal Peter Flandrin, and in forwarding the justification for Clement, makes extensive use of prophecy, especially prophecies attributed to Saint John of Bridlington.[32]
