Talk:Frank Moss

Source attribution vs copyright violation

I noted that the information presented here is very closely aligned with the Utah History Encyclopedia, but is formulated differently. This may happen if someone's trying to reproduce facts from a source, but using his own words. But the source of the information was neither acknowledged nor referenced, which is a violation of WP:V and WP:RS. I have (with some trepidation) added the link to the Utah History Encyclopedia (as "external link", not "source", since I have no idea whether the original editor was relying on it or taking the information from elsewhere, and removed the copyvio tag. Please add more sources and more information - remember: CITE SOURCES, but USE YOUR OWN WORDS! --Alvestrand 20:10, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Frank Moss (politician) → Frank Moss (Utah politician) – Frank Moss (Virginia politician) is also a politician. BD2412 T 05:21, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

• Speedy technical move In ictu oculi (talk) 15:02, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
• Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 15:03, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
• Strong support per nom (maybe even speedy move as an uncontroversial technical move). Currently, it's incomplete disambiguation. Paintspot Infez (talk) 23:05, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. With over 99% of the pageviews, the 3-term U.S. Senator is of far greater significance and interest then the little-known 19th century state politician averaging zero views per day. Just add a hatnote if really necessary. In fact, the senator qualifies as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for Frank Moss and should be moved there,[1] moving the dab page to Frank Moss (disambiguation). - Station1 (talk) 09:04, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
  • I'm not immediately against making the Utah senator the primary topic of the name, but how do its pageviews compare against all other people on the disambiguation page? BD2412 T 23:59, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
    • This link is included in my comment. He gets almost 4x the next highest and 2/3 of all views. Station1 (talk) 00:29, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
• Support as proposed per nom. kennethaw88 • talk 16:51, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose original proposed move, but support a PRIMARYTOPIC move per Station1. Pageview stats like this are sometimes flawed since someone looking for (Virginia politician) might contribute to these stats, but these are so far above the rest, it looks to be a true primary topic. Stats are not likely influenced by WP:RECENTISM, either, since he left office in '77 and passed nearly 20 years ago. -2pou (talk) 19:29, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
• Support move to Frank Moss as the primary topic.--Cúchullain ^t/c 17:43, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
