Prod
[edit]A Google search for "Lake Erie" Bessie (including the quotation marks) yields over 20,000 hits. Clearly notable. Prod removed. -Arb. (talk) 01:54, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
article issues
[edit]I placed the tags in the hope of making the article stronger, not to destroy it. The existence of Glinks does not make anything notable --it depends what they are and what they say. The fundamental problem is the weak referencing.
- the article relies on http://archives.buffalorising.com/story/otd_11121933_happy_anniversary. The link does not work, either. As this is online only, that's a problem. See WP:DEADREF for how to deal with it. The RS status is also possibly open to question.
- The Cleveland Plain dealer links do not work. They'll be hard to find again because they should gave been given to both print and online as follows, First, to the print which is still usually the archival copy, giving the archival print paper giving article title, author, date and pages. (from that they could be found in print, microfilm, or any database that had access.) Following that you give the link to the actual online version you used--the publication's own archive, Lexis, Ebsco, Proquest. or whatever,
- The WSJ link similarly needs details.
- The para about what it really might be needs refs. And are there other hypotheses?
Additionally
- Is the reward still active?
- atre there any later developments? DGG ( talk ) 03:52, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
- Well that covers references, thanks, I'll attempt to improve/fix them (they worked when added just a day ago). What about:
- "neutrality is disputed"; where is it partisan?
- "original research or unverifiable claims"; Which claims?
- "tone or style..."; Where is the tone inappropriate?
-Arb. (talk) 00:06, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
- I removed them. Looking back at the history, what I was doing is readding the tags that were there when the article was prodded, ( which it should not have been. ). I apparently did replace too many, and I thank you for having pateince with me.
- No problem, it happens to us all occasionally. You've left "tone...". I'm not good at judging tone so it would help if you would provide a pointer to what you are getting at there, or better still, fix it yourself (it's only a short article). -Arb. (talk) 16:34, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
- with the exception of the existence of an "in popular culture" section (good lord do i hate those), i see no problem with the tone of the article. i've tried to smooth out the wikivoice a bit, but there's just not that much text. the tone tag can probably come down, but the ref issues still remain. pauli133 (talk) 14:58, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
- I had a Google for the Cleveland Plain Dealer Archive refs but could not find them again. Annoying. -Arb. (talk) 01:06, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
