Man track controversy

edit

The status of the man track controversy should be written about on that page, not in this article.

Why is Chris Meadors famous? There is almost nothing to be found about him using Google, and what there is might have been copied from this page. Perhaps someone is just having fun with Wikipedia,,, —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ingvar (talk • contribs) 22:12, 20 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Whoever did it should consider it an epic win. It's a simply audacious insult. It needs to go, of course. GermanoCeltiCuban (talk) 05:18, 22 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Why 'Purported' Evidence?

edit
Latest comment: 12 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

While I am not advocating for or against evolution (I believe the theory of evolution to be about as close to proven as the theory of gravity or the theory of large numbers, but my beliefs have no place in an encyclopedia), the use of 'purported' in the sentence, "Creation Evidence Museum, displaying purported evidence for creationism," seems clearly POV. I'll leave this up for comment for a while then, if there is no objection, change the wording to, "Creation Evidence Museum, displaying exhibits supporting creationism." If there IS an objection, please explain why this use of 'purported' should be considered outside WP:ALLEGED in this context or propose alternative wording the fits WP:W2W.

Read Creation_Evidence_Museum#Criticism of why it should stay "purported". The article also uses "puported" at the top of it. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 20:12, 18 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Actually, this article led me to that one where I posted a similar question (actually, a LOT of questions). I don't see that it matters how many other articles have the same problem - dismissive and judgmental language just doesn't belong in an encyclopedia, even if the museum's mission is (to many people) a giant bag full of whack. Changing sentence to, "Creation Evidence Museum, displaying exhibits supporting creationism," is no less accurate, does not imply that they're right and (imho) comes across sounding more like an encyclopedia and less like a soapbox or a coatrack. However, as I said there and will repeat here, I don't have a horse in this race. I have not been to Glen Rose and, if there, I'm unlikely to visit the museum in question unless they're giving out free money. I just think that it makes Wikipedia look biased when articles use language designed to denigrate a subject. Cheers & Thanks, Kevin/Last1in (talk) 23:34, 19 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned references in Glen Rose, Texas

edit
Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Glen Rose, Texas's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Census 2010":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 23:21, 15 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Glen Rose mailing address

edit
Latest comment: 11 months ago6 comments2 people in discussion

@Vajzë Blu: - Dinosaur Valley State Park should not be included just because it has a Glen Rose mailing address. The park is over a mile outside the city, and should be added to the county article. Having a Glen Rose mailing address is irrelevant, as ZIP codes are not related to municipal boundaries, per this explanation. Please discuss before reverting. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:17, 17 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

But it's recognized as the dinosaur capital of Texas by the state of Texas. Vajzë Blu (talk) 21:48, 18 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Ok you left that part in. :-) Vajzë Blu (talk) 21:51, 18 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
I understand your point on what I did before. That's to not put the park in Glen Rose because of a mailing address which is sort of what I did before.
But this time I added that it is "located immediately to the east of Dinosaur Valley State Park".
I got the location from a government website which puts Glen Rose on the Dinosaur Valley State Park webpage. The government calls Glen Rose the Dinosaur Capital of Texas. So I was putting a reason for what you accepted should be in the article. Is a consensus really necessary for putting what the government says about it to show why it's called the Dinosaur Capital of Texas? Vajzë Blu (talk) 04:10, 23 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Discussion

edit

It was suggested I wait for discussion on saying the connections between Glen Rose and the Dinosaur Valley State Park. It's been up here for over two months now and nobody's commented.

If no one objects in the next few days, I plan to put why Glen Rose is recognized as the Dinosaur capital of Texas by the state of Texas. It's the closest community, and it's listed as the mailing address for the park. Vajzë Blu (talk) 02:41, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

As I posted about this issue back in October, and made this Discussion section 6 days ago and there's been no objection, I'll add the information. Vajzë Blu (talk) 03:45, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
