Danny Peary correcting errors in Wikipedia's entry on him.
editPlease note that I was born in 1949, not 1929!! There are several minor errors about my background which I can fix if you'd like, but I'd rather you just fix the final paragraph, so it reads this way:
He is the New York correspondent for the Australian magazine FilmInk, as well as a contributing editor to Brinkzine.com. He worked with Ralph Kiner on his autobiography, Baseball Forever. His 21st book, written with Tom Clavin, was his first biography, Roger Maris: Baseball's Reluctant Hero. Their next book was Gil Hodges: The Brooklyn Bums, Miracle Mets and the Extraordinary Life of a Baseball Legend.
Thank you, Danny Peary — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.116.197.139 (talk) 21:12, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
Bibliography
editI have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates and tables for reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 03:52, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
The original research tag
editHi. I went to the Wikipedia:Teahouse for advice from experienced editors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive_1125
Editor 𝄠ʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ told me "the tag was added here and an example claim given" [(Revision as of 22:25, 25 June 2015 (edit) (undo) 98.246.65.171 (talk) (No sources or citations given for phrases like "Peary remains an important and influential figure in the film reviewing field")]. That phrase was gone by August 2019, when User:StrangeloveFan101 cleaned up the article a lot.
Other people have worked on it since, and I added many citations and also worked on the writing. I took out one paragraph that seemed like opinion, and which the footnote (RogerEbert.com) didn't say what it said it did.
Grapple X told me "there are still a lot of sections lacking sourcing; I wouldn't remove it [the tag] now but there is no vote or anything necessary, you can use your judgement when you feel the sourcing has improved." The sections "Cult Movies books," "Sportswriting" and "ThunderCats and SilverHawks" were unsourced. The sections "Sports-related television," "Other" and "Media appearances" were mostly unsourced and had "citation needed" tags throughout them.
I cited more things today and removed everything marked "citation needed" after trying for a long time for find citations. I also spent a lot of time finding citations, and went and found publishers information and ISBNs for his books. I am going to Wikipedia:Be bold and remove the tag. @Grapple X: and @StrangeloveFan101:, is that OK? Please put it back if it's not. Thank you everyone.The Horror, The Horror (talk) 22:45, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
