Re: Red Knight

Hi, thanks for the interesting info. I knew you were probably correct and I don't disagree with what you say, but my issue wasn't so much with the information per se, but with the fact that this tid bit of history should be referenced and should not be from personal recollections. Wikipedia is basically a compendium of facts/information that already exists in written form somewhere else such as a reliable, authoritative website, book, journal, etc. (see wp: RS and wp:OR). My source (Dempsey's book) only mentions that after a party some Blue Angel pilots visited Hallowell's hotel room when he was at Paine Field and played a joke on him with a couple of "sweet things" who climbed into the sack with him. The description goes on to say that the next day "the Red Knight was known as the "Pink Dink" - and I hadn't done anything." I may have interpreted this wrong, however. It could refer to the Red Knight in general rather than to just F/O Hallowell. The problem would be to make the information encyclopedic and relevant to a general article. In my opinion it's not terribly notable for a general article, though. I too am in the frozen wastelands. Cheers. BC _{talk to me} 05:18, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

After reading my reference, I think I may have misinterpreted it and I added the info back into the article and referenced my source. How does it sound? I'm not sure whether others will deem it to be notable enough to stay, but we tried. BC _{talk to me} 05:46, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Harold Camping. Thank you. St Anselm (talk) 23:34, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
