thanks, good changes. one question - did you mean to take out that he was a Democrat? Piha 15:06, 26 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Senator Pell strongly pushed for the study of ESP research at university labs even after those labs showed that their research showed no evidence of its existence. His allocation of funds for this research had caused concern in the scientific community, as cited by James Randi in his latest commentary.
Is there an appropriate way to include this information, or is it even noteworthy enough? Smoove K 01:57, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Notice that Pell is listed in Catagory:American Philanthropists and Catagory:Philantropists. Just because he sponsored the legislation that untimalely became the " Pell Grant" and Helped create the legislation for the National Endowment for the Arts; that doesn't make him a philanthropist. Remember those are taxpayer dollars that are bein granted, not Pell's personal money. Let's consider a removal from these two Catagories. If there is reason to keep him in the catagogies because he spread some of his own money around, then let's get the details in the main article and reference it. Just my thoughts about a great Senator and Coast Guardsman, but wanting the right facts in the article. Cuprum17 ( talk) 02:06, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
The claim that "education while incarcerated resulted in a 65% drop in recidivism rates and that resulted in a safer public" needs references to actual studies from reputable sources (not news articles and other media sources). Otherwise it is a political claim and should be deleted. Also, the verb "resulted", being in the past tense, should be clarified. I.e. was it a one-time drop, or can we say that a similar drop as a result of the education of prisoners can still be counted on in the presnt time? If the latter then the word "resulted" should be changed to the present tense. Skinnerd ( talk) 14:02, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
I decided to delete the sentence on recidivism rates because it is not supported by references. Skinnerd ( talk) 14:17, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
Naval and military ranks are NOT capitalized, unless they are used as titles: e.g. Commander Montgomery Scott. Do not capitalize anything like seaman, airman, sergeant, petty officer, lieutenant, captain, major, commander, colonel, admiral, general, air marshal.
Furthermore, do not capitalize the names of ranks in police forces, fire departments, etc. - e.g. corporal, sergeant, lieutenant, detective, captain, fire chief, unless of course, they are used as titles, such as Corporal Cisneros, Sergeant Friday of the famous TV series "Dragnet", Lieutenant Mac Taylor of the TV series "CSI: New York", and police Captain Smith (for example).
By the way, the same actor (Gary Sinese) who plays Lt. Mac Taylor also played Lt. Dan Taylor of the U.S. Army in the famous film "Forrest Gump".
