== ''The Signpost'': 24 December 2024 ==
Anyway, its my impression that Rogue_Gremlin is 'hijacking' this site and refusing to allow anything other than his opinion to be reflected on the main page regarding the birthplace debate. At best we get the 'neutral': "While most sources give Burt Reynolds' birthplace as Waycross, Georgia (Birthplace. The Biography Channel.). Reynolds himself said on Dinah Shore, Carol Burnett, Merv Griffin, Mike Douglas and Johnny Carson he was born in Waycross, Georgia. It alludes in Reynolds autobiography that he was born in Lansing, Michigan Reynolds. P. 10. Burt's website is now up and running, but it doesn't mention either Michigan or Georgia, it only mentions his hometown in Jupiter, Florida."


<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"><div style="column-count:2;"> {{Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost/2024-12-24}} </div><!--Volume 20, Issue 18--> <div class="hlist" style="margin-top:10px; font-size:90%; padding-left:5px; font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> * ''']''' * ] * ] * ] (]) 00:00, 25 December 2024 (UTC) <!-- Sent via script (]) --></div></div>
That is out of date (his official website and his autobiography show that he was born in Lansing). On 3 separate posts on the discussion page, Rogue made it clear he was going to let Burt's Official site 'settle it' and now that they've come back and said that he was born in Michigan, not surprisingly, he has abandoned that plan and instead decided to attack the integrity of Burt's site and leave things as they stand at disputed. I can live with "disputed" listed as his birthplace as long as the notes attached to it are completely neutral (and maybe refer to the discussion page where a number of sources have been provided) They are not currently. I'm sure if we said "Burt's official website and his autobiography say he was born in Lansing. The Chicago Sun Times says he was born in Waycross", Rogue wouldn't consider that neutral either.

:I walked away from this dispute a while back as the Request for Comments I stated drew very little participation, and the hassle of dealing with the article was more than I wanted at the time. I looked at Burt's official web site within the past hour, and I don't see where his birth place is given. For the record, I am convinced that Burt Reynolds was born in Lansing, but I don't see the ] to establish that incontestably (he certainly ducked the issue in his autobiography). What I do see is a lot of ] from both sides of this dispute. For now, I intend to stay out of the dispute. -- '''<font color="navy">]</font>''' 23:33, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

The article ] has been ]&#32;because of the following concern:
** No problem, I can certainly understand how someone would tire of the discussion. I can keep plugging away myself. I wasn't so much concerned with Lansing being listed as his birthplace. I know Rogue will never be convinced he is from Lansing no matter how much evidence he sees, and therefore it will always be considered 'disputed'. I just wanted to make sure description of the dispute was noted neutrally. In my opinion, it isn't currently (I'm talking about on the main page, when you click on the '1' (note) next the 'birthplace disputed' (under Burt's photo). I was going to edit that myself to make it more neutral, but apparently I don't have the rights to do that (or if I do, I don't see how to do it). Thanks. ] 23:41, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

****Hi Donald, I just saw your most recent edit on the article page, and I'm a little confused by the reference "rv, a citation to a specific reference per WP:CS is needed, you cannot cite the talk page as a reference". Not sure what 'rv' is (unless you meant 'rg' for RogueGremlin?), but that was actually my edit, not his (might have been confusing because I put it at the end of his comment). I was just trying to steer people to the 'discussion page' for more info on the dispute (not to reference a particular item (if thats how it looked). I notice on your July 9th edit, you updated "For more details and sources, see the ].</ref>"...thats the same thing I was trying to do there.

Also, as far as references go, maybe I'm just missing it, but Rogue keeps stating that "Burt Reynolds has said.." and then his sources for this appear to simply be websites that give Burt's birtplace as Waycross, not anything showing that Burt actually said he was born in Waycross. Doesn't seem like an accurate representation of the source to me. I could say "Burt Reynolds has said he was born in Lansing" and then refer to a website that lists his birthplace as Lansing, and that would be the same thing. No? ] 16:47, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

:::Websites are considered to be "published". A determination of whether they are "reliable sources" is made the same way as for paper sources. As a rule, however, blogs, forums and self-published websites are not considered to be "reliable sources". RogueGremlin's references to what anyone has said on TV talk shows appears to be original research. Unless he can cite reliable published sources for those claims, I will remove them.

] '''Oversight changes'''
Over the last six months, Misplaced Pages and Wikinews have been discussing a project proposal with the ] which could create a new type of an environment for locally-oriented encyclopedic and news content. The general idea involves an official sanctioning of a local Wiki community in one or two charter areas, one of them being Miami. The Wiki community would be empowered to cover all things Miami -- even things that normally would not pass notability restrictions -- and cover both encyclopedic information as well as current events in the South Florida community. The proposal may even involve the creation of a physical "wiki space": some sort of a local room or office to coordinate efforts and provide community members with a place to create and edit articles.

So should everything referencing his autobiography be removed also, since there is no link to the autobigraphy itself?. Because only providing a year of a book and an ISBN # to a book that is out of print, is no different than me providing the shows title and the year of the episode as a source. Because by just providing the book # you are saying we have to find an out of print book and read it ourselves. So should I know begin the deletion of all the stuff linked to his unsourced autobiography?] 23:26, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Dunedin, FL

I represent the Dunedin History Museum and the city historian. The reference link(s) to the first land grant and the incorporation of the city is from an old incorrect city of Dunedin page. The dates 1852 and 1925 are incorrect for the first land grant and the founding of the city.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.96.115.241 (talk • contribs) 15:10 4 August 2021 (UTC)

In fact that editor has repeatedly refused to advise me of what the problem is. I'm surprised to hear that editor is an experienced editor as I had not seen need to check. Right off attempting to inject FRINGE political bias and going on to repeatedly demand I debate positions I don't hold is strange for an experienced editor. I have said several times that we can remove and change any parts of my added text and asked how he wants to do that: He still refuses to reply instead insisting on these debates.

About 1851 Atlantic hurricane season revert

Howdy! I appreciate your courteous assistance. I'm assuming the revert was due to my mentioning of the "Accumulated Cyclone Energy" total for the season. I thought - after recently looking into WP:RS - that since the information was easily accessible / provable via going to the linked Misplaced Pages, it was acceptable. If that's not the case, should I source the needed sources from the other page? Best regards, Uhdebbie 19:19, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Per WP:USERG, Misplaced Pages is not a reliable source. That means, cite any reliable source with thye content, do not rely of a source being cited in another article. Also, given how uncertain ACE totals are for 19th-century hurricane seasons, I don't see the utility of including them, but that is not something I'll fight over.
