Talk:Budge Patty

First name

Note that his real first name is Jesse (after his father) not John 81.198.220.186 (talk) 17:15, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Just to repeat, since this has still not been changed: according to his passport he was Jesse Edward Patty junior, not as shown here. 46.109.19.132 (talk) 13:09, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Date of death?

The New York Times says Patty passed away on Monday, which is inconsistant with all other sources that say he passed away on Sunday (October 3). Does the NYT know something the rest of us don’t or is this just the usual timezone crap?...

The Sun also states Patty died Monday. Why is it so difficult for news sources to be consistant?

Not that I know this specifically, but timezones are actually a good bet (possibly augmented by accidentally mistaking the direction the calculation takes...). As for being inconsistent in non-political things, there is the question of what sources the various publications have... --Autokefal Dialytiker (talk) 15:56, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

I was walking by this comment just now, and I thought of another point: Would a newspaper/journalist/editor write the date of the timezone the person was in, or the date of the timezone the newspaper office is situated in ? --Autokefal Dialytiker (talk) 03:12, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

@GorillaWarfare: It passes 5× expansion, because the September 26 version (i.e. version immediately before October 8 edits) is 865 characters. That means 4,325 characters are required (already met). —Bloom6132 (talk) 06:11, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

@GorillaWarfare: Would you like to take another look at this? Or shall I ask for a new review? —Bloom6132 (talk) 01:00, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

That is odd, you're right about the sizes. I wonder what tripped up DYK check... Anyway, I've adjusted the review accordingly. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 01:04, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

• @Bloom6132 and GorillaWarfare: fascinating article, nice work! I thought I might run a hook by you both, see if something snappy falls out—I'm happy to promote one of the approved hooks if not.

ALT2 -... that according to his brother, Budge Patty (pictured) wouldn't budge?

just thought I'd throw that out there. Thanks! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 05:06, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

oops, @Bloom6132 theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 05:07, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

@Theleekycauldron: I'm neutral and fine with it, as long as the nom can be featured in a picture slot. —Bloom6132 (talk) 06:57, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

@Theleekycauldron: ready for promotion yet? —Bloom6132 (talk) 04:53, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

• Not quite—we need a free picture slot, which should take a day or two. I'll ask someone to promote this when it's time. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 05:11, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
• @Bloom6132: to be clear, I can't promise a picture slot, since I'm not promoting—that'll be up to availability at the time and the promoter's whims. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 07:46, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
