Re: Clarence Alexander Rhone

Hi,

On live chat I was helping you with your draft of the article. I think these questions were answered:

• You have 4 independent references -- the rock plaque, two books, and the placard in the public library.
• You have 2 dependent references -- the employer and the park.
• You should find more independent sources.
• I was wrong in thinking that the pictures are not references. You can keep them in the references section.

As you left while I was still reading the article (you were patient in waiting, but I had left on an errand), I have the following comments to add:

• Two pairs of these 4 independent references have the same author -- Kountze Mabray for one pair, and local government for the rock plaque and the placard in the public library.
• This means we have two independent sources at present. (A source is an entity that holds information. A reference is a link to a particular instance in which the entity publishes this information.)

I would like to ask, when building the community center and the park tennis courts, did Clarence Alexander Rhone spend any money (and not only the invaluable and greatly appreciated years coaching tennis) on them?

--Gryllida (talk) 05:07, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

1. The source for the public library material is Tufts University (Department of Anthropology) + Medford Historical Society -not- the government. I mentioned this several times during live chat (including relevant link) and modified the draft page to reflect this. The library is only the display / publishing venue. Please see below. So there are 3 independent sources. OK?

2. Out of curiosity, why do you ask about Rhone spending money on these items?

Thanks for allowing the pictures as references, your help + look forward to your response.

The local community encouraged the installation of two library placards and the rock plaque. The local community did so because it owes a lot to Clarence Alexander Rhone, as he did a lot of work for them (and probably donated a lot of money for public cause). Effectively the local community are his business clients. Of course the clients would write nice things about him. Therefore I would treat the local community as a single source with three publishing instances, and its position puts it in an obligation to only write nice things about Clarence Alexander Rhone -- particularly after his death.

Therefore I would encourage to stop dwelling or lingering on the local obligatory gratitude writings. They are an important part of the article and I appreciate them as they give an in-depth coverage, but for the purposes of establishing notability they should not be the primary focus of the initial write-up and should constitute no more than 50% of the initial article revision.

Please look for sources which were published before 1970, and are in a position to give a more critical non-obligatory coverage. --Gryllida (talk) 22:21, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you Gryllida for taking the time to review this article in depth and provide so many feedbacks to make the article stronger.  :-) I will do what I can to address your questions and concerns and report back here. Sounds like it's close to being fit for the mainspace. Thanks again and have a great rest of your week + weekend.
