Identification of the university at Kentucky[edit]

In one of H. Zumbado's books, where he cites an article about himself, is written: "He took the commercial carrer at the Bowling Green University", at Kentucky, in the 50s." Certainly it would be good to have this "Bowling Green University" identified and linked. However, I'm not quite sure about what university it is. The closest university I saw is Western Kentucky University. By the 50s its name was Western Kentucky State College. There was also a Bowling Green College of Commerce, which was formerly Bowling Green Business University. These two institutions merged in 1963.

It seems likely that the university mentioned in the book was the second institution. However, I don't think that we can be sure enough to make the claim in the article. Further, there's a Bowling Green University, but it's not at Kentucky.

Very relevant data missing[edit]

The data available in the article is from the 1980s. There is a lot to write to account for the many years of difference from now. This is a major pending issue.

Others[edit]

  • Make the list of stories in the section Limonada a table. This will give us the chance to include the translations or approximated translations of the titles, the original individual publication date, and so on.
  • Format the references. I have with me the books I've used, so if any relevant information for referencing is not included here, just tell me.
  • Find and include a template for this article.
  • Categorize the article.
  • Have this article also under the title "H. Zumbado".
  • Finding a picture (or more).

Neutrality and tone/style challenges[edit]

The neutrality and tone/style of this article has been challenged. Please discuss the issues, otherwise tags should be removed.

Cheers!

There's lots of praise, such as "a spontaneous, sarcastic, and funny style"; this is not neutral. There are quotes from somebody not identified, named Basilia Papastamatiú. There is a great deal of information with no source other than one or another of his own (old) works. We need more and better reliable sources. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:22, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed and way on to resolution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alfredo J. Herrera Lago (talkcontribs) 04:02, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV[edit]

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
  1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
  2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
  3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:03, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
