Talk:Budge Patty

First name
Note that his real first name is Jesse (after his father) not John 81.198.220.186 (talk) 17:15, 22 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Just to repeat, since this has still not been changed: according to his passport he was Jesse Edward Patty junior, not as shown here. 46.109.19.132 (talk) 13:09, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Date of death?
The New York Times says Patty passed away on Monday, which is inconsistant with all other sources that say he passed away on Sunday (October 3). Does the NYT know something the rest of us don’t or is this just the usual timezone crap?...

The Sun also states Patty died Monday. Why is it so difficult for news sources to be consistant?

 * Not that I know this specifically, but timezones are actually a good bet (possibly augmented by accidentally mistaking the direction the calculation takes...). As for being inconsistent in non-political things, there is the question of what sources the various publications have... --Autokefal Dialytiker (talk) 15:56, 7 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I was walking by this comment just now, and I thought of another point: Would a newspaper/journalist/editor write the date of the timezone the person was in, or the date of the timezone the newspaper office is situated in ? --Autokefal Dialytiker (talk) 03:12, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
