This article has been nominated for Version 0.7 of the offline Wikipedia release but did not meet the standards for importance. It has been put on Wikipedia:Release_Version_Nominations/Held_nominations for further review. Please see that page for details.
This article topic isn't major enough to make it into Version 0.7, which is limited in size. Walkerma ( talk) 07:39, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
I like your way of citing specific page references. Yet I wonder, Would it be possible to alter the small colon (:) into a (p.) ? For a novice reader, I imagine the [6]:45 is a bit confusing. However, something like [6]p.45 or [6]ppg.45-50 would be self-explanatory. ThsQ ( talk) 14:11, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I think the use of the [6]:219 is awkward. Very difficult to comprehend, mate. But I liked the article. I like the movie. Toby Ornott ( talk) 16:45, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
Otto, do I understand you to be saying "Forget using <ref>{{citeweb | url = | title = | last = | first = | date = | accessdate = | publisher = | pages = }}</ref> within the format, rather use a simple <ref>Dyer, p. 26</ref> format; and then rather than use the {{reflist}} function, create a separate subsection heading labeled References and then list the <ref>{{citeweb | url = | title = | last = | first = | date = | accessdate = | publisher = | pages = }}</ref> stuff in there? That does sound a lot simpler. Do you have an excellent example of this working in illustration somewhere? ThsQ ( talk) 19:30, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

template has spread very broadly throughout WP as the most efficient and simple means of citing the same work many times in the same article. I note that someone, without any consensus that the citation style here needed to change, went ahead and changed it to a hybrid format, mixing citation styles, but I won't revert it as it's too much work to undo. This actually raises
WP:FAITACCOMPLI issues. Establish consensus before making sweeping but non-content-improving changes that are difficult to revert. —

15:09, 24 March 2014 (UTC)Can someone fix a contradiction in this article? One of the early sections says Etta definitely was his daughter, then this section says she definitely was not. I don't know anything about Minnesota Fats, but I noticed that the two statements in the same article are direct contradictions of each other. 78.145.60.33 ( talk) 09:55, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Authun: Either this has been corrected in the meantime (I am writing on Nov 11 2009), or your observation is not accurate, for there is but one reference to Etta and it does not make a claim either way as to his fatherhood.
As of my writing this (Nov 2009), the article refers to the subject as Rudolf Wanderone, and that his surname was originally spelled "Wanderon". However, a stop by FindAGrave (a link to add) refers to him as Rudolph Walter Wonderon, Jr. A plate marking his grave bears the name Wonderon. Are "Rudolph" and, especially, "Wonderon" alternative valid names to consider referring to somewhere in the article?
