Searching for sources

edit

Fernando Huergo does not seem to actually cover the most notable person with that name. There seem to be a jazz musician who seems to be more notable. Google books here [1] does have 2 top sources that may be on this Huergo. 1 is a bare mention in a table showing that he was on a team of 6 that got silver in a fencing event at the 1951 Pan America games. The other is a correspondence to Fernando I. Huergo in the archives of the International Olympic Committee on Argentina. It is a letter mentioned in a footnote, so there is nothing substantive actually said about Huergo in the source, and he is not even the creator of the correspondence, just its recipient. This may or may not be two sources that reflect that there may be more on Huergo. I do not even know where to begin to look for sources in Spanish. What we have is not enough, but there may be stuff out there somewhere.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:38, 16 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Then create an article for the musician, Lambert. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 14:49, 16 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Medaling

edit

Huergo did not win a medal in the 1951 Pan American games. He was one of sixz member of a team that won a silver medal in those games. We should be precise in our wording and not make it seem people won medals as individuals when they actually won a medal as part of a team.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:13, 16 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

"Huergo did not win a medal in the 1951 Pan American games." Yes he did, Lambert. Next. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 18:44, 16 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

  • He was part of a team that won a medal. That is not the same as winning a medal. We should be precise in our language. The source I found clearly shows him as one of a team of six that won the medal. That is not the same as winning a medal as an individual.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:49, 16 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • My name is John Pack Lambert. You can either refer to me by my whole name or refer to me as Mr. Lambert. Refering to someone by just their last name in conversation is considered rude, and makes your whole statement come off as being rude and combative.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:50, 16 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
If sports issues are wearing you down Lambert, maybe find something to do that doesn't wear you down. That would be the senisible thing to do. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 18:59, 16 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
You were asked to stop refering to me in such a rude way. Your persistence of rudeness has been noted.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:23, 17 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
