Btphelps,
Curious at to why you would replace a picture of Josephine Marcus that is inferior to the picture that came before it, i.e., blurry and not colorized. I posted the original picture which stood for 3 years, without anyone seeing the need to change it. I can understand updating the picture with a better one, however, you just re-posted the same picture of lesser quality. No need to reply to this, just an observation made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dpgtime ( talk • contribs) 18:51, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
Wyatt Earp was listed as a GA in April, then went through a GAR and was delisted. It is now going through another GAN. Wyatt Earp is one of Wikipedia's most popular articles and is on an important and complex topic. The GAN is on an initial seven day hold while the reviewer checks sources. Meanwhile there is some work to be done on trimming back excessive detail, and on making the article flow more by reducing the amount of subsections. See Talk:Wyatt Earp/GA3 for more detail.

I had confused some other document that has Sadie and Behan living as husband and wife in Tombstone, with the census. The census indeed being taken in June, 1880, when Behan was in Tip Top, and so almost certainly was Marcus. I finally went to look at the census data, and not only are you correct, but I can't believe that Carol Mitchell, the True West Magazine writer of the Lady Sadie article cited so heavily [1] actually misses some vital clues from the census data that "S. Mansfield" of the census (surely the Sadie Mansfield known from other documents previously and indeed listed as "Courtesan" in the census, though single and head of household, as is Behan), is indeed "Sadie" Marcus. Mitchell has other evidence that Josie Marcus was born of German immigrant parents in New York City, between end 1860 and early 61. But she does not mention that the S. Mansfield courtesan of the Tip Top census also lists both her parents as being born in Germany, her birth place as New York, and her age as 19(!) All exactly correct for Marcus. What are the odds of two such people living in such a small place as Tip Top, A.T.? I would think about nil. S B H arris 02:01, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
I stumbled across Wyatt Earp last week. What a fascinating read. Thank you for investing the time and energy to work on that. -- The sockpuppet of happiness ( talk) 17:12, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

I've just reviewed the Wyatt Earp article, and you'll see that I felt that there were some issues with the sourcing. As noted in the review, however, if I can give any further advice etc., I'd be very happy to - I think the article will end up as GA in due course. Hchc2009 ( talk) 08:23, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
