Talk:Curtis Howe Springer

Needs fact check

Some difference between article and sources (eg. year of death 1985 or 1986?)--FloNight 03:26, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

know nothing about him, but this is one of those annoying articles having a new paragraph for each sentence!!! Peter Shearan 05:35, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I added references for both (conflicting) death year claims. I think the cemetery record is probably reliable for the death date, but I wonder if the old trickster gave the right birthdate to whoever's record was used for the military headstone. --Closeapple (talk) 11:58, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Tags not necessary, but looks paraphrased from newspaper

Sources are only required for controversial content. None of the tagged content is controversial. You don't just tag something because you want a source. That said, looks like much of the facts are drawn from an LA Times article ([1]). If the structure of the article annoys you, then don't complain, just edit it.

SFGATE article

A trip down the most mysterious road in California, Zzyzx Road (Jan. 24 '23) I was looking to use this long article to add info to this or Zzyzx, California, but I can't really find anything not already represented. Still useful? Mapsax (talk) 01:30, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
