replies: text: Too bad Corvus cornix left in a huff 7 years ago. He'd enjoy this. Negro league baseball, a well researched and documented article has nothing about the Blue Sox. There may have been a team by that name somewhere in NYC, but if so, it's receded out of any notable memory. But the story gets better. In 2014, a one-time numerical editor changed one (perhaps imaginary) team to another definitely imaginary team—the "sandlot team of the NY Yankees."

thread_title:  Improving this article... 

message: Wisconsin gubernatorial election, 2002 gives a table of the candidates, without mentioning Rebane, and if he did run in that election, he didn't receive many votes.  Note that the table on page 925 of this also doesn't mention him; he isn't mentioned anywhere else in that source.
The main source is "Famous Wisconsin film stars", which is not published by Badger Books, but by some small Wisconsin outfit.
This source, apparently by Van Beest, A. J. (2002), was likely published for Ashland Daily Press.  According to this, the author is a Pro-Am tenor sax player - no mention of being a reporter.

thread_title:  Did Bill Rebane write this article? 

message: The Personal Life section says:
:Rebane had supposedly married wife Barbara J. Rebane in 1957 at age 20 and He also stated that he had had his first child at 21 which was supposedly Randolph Rebane.[16]. He had three more children. Supposedly the youngest and youngest girl was his daughter, former actress Angailica who has been in Croaked: Frog Monster from Hell, The Devonsville Terror, The Demons of Ludlow, and many others.[17].
Why is every statement qualified with "supposedly"? If this is questionable information, qualify the whole paragraph and explain why it's questionable—or just don't mention it at all if it's a potential BLP violation. 
The paragraph is also full of minor errors of punctuation, capitalization, etc. --157.131.202.156 (talk) 05:31, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Supposedly" 

message: The "Additional Projects" section is mostly about never-completed projects. Whatever "The UFO Files" and "From Roswell with Love" are, they were never released, aren't mentioned on IMDB, and don't have any search hits. However, he has actually completed a number of projects since coming back from retirement: 2 episodes of a TV series "Tiny Tim and Friends" were filmed but as far as I know never aired, he released a 2004 movie called "Ghostly Obsessions", and there's something named "Pickled Movies" that I can't find any info about. According to IMDB, he also has completed (since 2015) but not released documentary "Silver Street: The Lotta Morgan Story". I'm not sure if any of this can be reliably sourced. But the existing list of projects isn't sourced at all.
If nobody can find any references, it's probably better to not give any specifics than to give specifics about a few random projects that probably were started, but were never finished, and have no reliable information anywhere. --157.131.202.156 (talk) 05:49, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Bill Staines

message: Greetings! I recently noticed it that User:AlsoWukai reverted my edit to this page, citing "non-notability" as the reason.  To clarify, WP: Notability states "The notability guideline does not determine the content of articles, but only whether the topic should have its own article." As the justification for reversion is in error, I am restoring my original edit. I invite User:AlsoWukai to participate in this discussion is they feel that they have other reasons that the edit should not be included in the article, although citing songs that appear in movies and television shows seems fairly commonplace, hence entire articles such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_songs_in_Glee_(TV_series).  However, I welcome any discussion in the spirit of reaching WP:Consensus.  Cheers! just Eleos 06:08, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Bill Stealey

message: This biography has a number of problems that I am willing to edit, but I wanted to make sure there were no objections before I did so.  So here's what I'm seeing:
* informal language: "marketing guy" seems out of tune with the vast majority of wikipedia articles I've read
* inaccurate numbers: the article says Meier and Stealey made over 400 games together, but I have no idea where that comes from.  The mobygames database entry on Microprose lists 184 titles published and developed by that company.  But that list includes titles that are shovelware (re-packaging old titles) and a large number of games developed and published after both Stealey and Meier left the company.  Wikipedia's own list of Microprose games is also only something like 170 titles (can't be bothered to count precisely).  So absent a cite, I'd think that number should be revised down to "over 100."  There may be other, similar issues.
* biased language: while Stealey may be a great guy, wikipedia typically prefers rather neutral assessments of people.  This article, however, seems to consistently represent him in rather glowing terms--it reads more like a promo piece from a PR department than an encyclopedia article
I hope this doesn't sound too harsh--I'm not trying to trash someone else's work.  Just looking to improve it.  If nobody responds within the next month or so, I'll assume nobody cares and I'll change it. WikiBCman (talk) 16:58, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:W. G. Unruh

message: I am surprised that someone corrected my original text into:
"He has helped to clarify the meaning of nonlocality in a quantum context, in particular that quantum nonlocality does not follow from Bell's theorem"
First, the statement that QM is "local" i.e. quantum nonlocality DOES NOT follow from Bell's theorem is arguably wrong, and defended in internet by only a few (3) people (Unruh, Joy Christian and Robert B. Griffiths, to be exact).
Second, if someone actually has watched the lecture given by Unruh, he will see that Unruh does not clarify anything, he is mumbling some arguments that beat about the bush, and did not answer any of the questions at the end of his lecture, but avoided them all.

message: The photo of the work titled "Sitting on History" at the head of the infobox bears this caption: "The sculpture, with its ball and chain, refers to the book as the captor of information from which we cannot escape." No source is provided for this statement. The "meaning" of a work of art may only be known to the artist themselves, and on the other hand, its meaning may be infinitely varied as each individual experiences it. And it is anathema to many recent artists to attach an explanation for the "meaning" of their works; it's seen as reductive and didactic. If Woodrow did not make this statement himself, it should be removed. Even if it were the opinion of say, his gallerist or a prominent curator or art jouranlist, that would still not justify its inclusion here. Bricology (talk) 01:44, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
