I replaced it with "American businesspeople". That work, do you think? --User:AlbertHerring ^{Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla!} 14:11, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 4

Hi. When you recently edited Tyisha Miller, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page USC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Melvin Kranzberg

I added some citations to the stub about Melvin Kranzberg. There is enough information now to begin doing a proper biography. He seems to be a much overlooked historian, but I do not have time to do it. I hope that one of his former students/friends would pick this up. MidwestGeek (talk) 23:35, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Michael Boskin

This bio of Michael Boskin sounds as if it was written by Boskin's PR firm. Just look at the publication list! It really needs some second and third party sources, but I'm not comfortable labelling this. Perhaps a more experienced editor would add a note inviting such contributions. Examples might include As Rome Burns, Michael Boskin Offers Up Banal Cliches from Forbes or World’s Wrongest Man Ventures Latest Prediction from NY Mag or even interviews such as On the Record from SF Gate.
