Walter M. Geddes edit

Walter M. Geddes

Created by Proudbolsahye (talk). Self nominated at 16:57, 19 July 2013 (UTC).

  • Article is new enough, long enough and well-sourced but, as discussed on the article's talk page, the article (and sources) seem to contradict each other regarding where Geddes was in 1912/3 (which is not material to the article but affects its credibility). Image is fine. Hook is interesting, sourced online and short enough but I would like to suggest an alternative that describes who he was which is not obvious:
ALT1 ... that American businessman Walter M. Geddes (pictured) committed suicide after witnessing the deaths of thousands of children during the Armenian Genocide?
I am fine with ALT1. Proudbolsahye (talk) 23:20, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
