I removed the template "reqphoto" as a photo has been added to the article. Wottnot ( talk) 19:24, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
I don't even know where to begin. This reads like a eulogy, not an encyclopedia article. I don't know how the original author knew him, but there's obviously some history there. Just take a look at this paragraph, which I removed as unsalvageable:
Scurfield was friendly, outgoing and well respected by all who knew him. citation needed He was a wonderful and dedicated family man. citation needed He and his wife Sonia raised seven children: Ralph Jr., Susan, Thomas, Katheryn, Sergei, Allan and John. Ralph was best known as a civic minded businessman and humanitarian. His legacy is remembered though his contributions and influence in establishing Nose Hill Park in Calgary, Scurfield Hall at the University of Calgary, the Calgary Flames, and the community centres he established throughout Calgary. Other contributions to the city he loved, and in which he and his wife Sonia raised seven children, are truly too numerous to mention. citation needed
He's obviously a fairly notable figure; otherwise, I'd be tempted to suggest deleting it and starting fresh. The article needs help. — INTRIGUEBLUE ( talk| contribs) 08:45, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
I noticed a number of references are the url to a Google Book link. I though editors might be interested in a tool which takes a link as input and creates a (usually) properly formatted ref.
Wikipedia citation tool for Google Books
I used it to improve one such reference.
It really helps creates a much cleaner list of references. I hope you will try it.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 21:40, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Ralph Thomas Scurfield. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).
