Year of birth

The link to the Port Arthur museum has the year of birth as 1944. Does someone have a reliable source to verify the correct year? JungleCat 18:01, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know

I know this man in real life. He's my best-friends granddad. I might be able to get some information from him. 76.171.59.206 (talk) 03:44, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Space after the first period in the page title

According to most style guides, including Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Abbreviations#Full_stops_.28periods.29), you would not put a space after the period that follows the G in his name. So it should be G.W. Bailey, not G. W. Bailey. But someone just tried to change it to the latter, on the Major Crimes page, and I wonder if that's in part because this page is titled with the space, as in G._W._Bailey. Should the title/main URL be changed to match the correct formatting of G.W._Bailey? CleverTitania (talk) 02:26, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For abbreviations, yes; names and initials, no. — Wylie pedia 00:38, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide a reliable source? -- Pemilligan (talk) 02:01, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable source?

Me!!,

Pinecrest School

Van Nuys, CA 91405...

She was my Principal June Bailey...

That's how we knew her...

Their son Martin went to the Jr High School Pinecrest on Woodman and Milbank in Sherman Oaks with me... 2603:8000:1700:806F:92B:1591:671:CC6D (talk) 22:43, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, your personal knowledge is not considered a reliable source for a Wikipedia article. Please read Wikipedia:Reliable sources for a better understanding of what is considered a reliable source for a Wikipedia article. -- Pemilligan (talk) 19:50, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Personal knowledge is not considered a reliable source? You have to be kidding. That would be like telling a soldier that he cannot write a book about his personal experiences in the Army for that very same reason. --Nosehair2200 (talk) 04:10, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I assume that each book publishing company has its own guidelines regarding what it will or will not publish. Wikipedia:Reliable sources is one of Wikipedia's basic guidelines. Please also see WP:SOURCE, which goes into some detail about determining whether a source is reliable. Eddie Blick (talk) 23:39, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Potential references for adding the full name

Are any of the following up to Wikipedia's standards?:

Apparently filmreference and aceshowbiz are each on the one of the two Web site blacklists, so I've discounted them.

Lastly, the old New York Times Movies profile might be helpful if anyone can determine what the URL was. E.g.:

https://web.archive.org/web/20080116204917/http://movies.nytimes.com/person/872601/John-Houseman
