RE: Giuseppe Zangara

I see that you made some comments about Giuseppe Zangara, you should put some of them IN the article, and cite your source. Like the fact that he was in WWI. WikiDon 20:14, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi, WikiDon, and thanks for the welcome and the advice. I had already heavily edited the entry on Zangara, and included the WWI information. I saw no place to cite sources in the text, so didn't. The sources I have were gathered for a different project, from about a decade ago, but I can go through the files if you want. Just let me know.

Best, David

About List of Mexican Jews

First of all, welcome.

All lists are named "List of ___ Jews". "Prominent" is not necessary, since no non-prominent person should be included anywhere in wikipedia. See the "See also" section and the categories at the bottom. And please, sign your comments by typing "--~~~~" (2 dashes, 4 tildes) . --Vizcarra 03:52, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome. Obviously, I'm just getting used to stuff around here.

My point wasn't the semantics or relative values of "prominent." My point was simply that organizations maintaining "lists" of Jews have, in the past, done some bad things. Do you want to be an organization that keeps such lists? Put another way: is there a "List of Mexican Protestants"? I'm not trying for PC man of the year here. I'm simply asking that the decision to include such lists be fully considered. Thanks in advance for that consideration.

Best, David

What type of bad things could happen if these lists exist? --Vizcarra 01:37, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Baseball Card Additions

I saw that you expanded a section on the Baseball card page. Thanks for the work. I noticed that you mention where you got your information from in the edit summary. If you could, would you go back and add some inline citations where appropriate, that would be great. Otherwise, the information will eventually be killed off. In case you aren't familiar with it, WP:CITE will show you some ways to add inline citations. // Tecmobowl 03:00, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Done. I added the inline and also added an internal link to Tuff Stuff and one to Dr. James Beckett, for whom I created an entry. Thanks.
