Talk:Dan Dailey

Ticket to Tomahawk
I think that this one belongs on any list of his best films, and I think was the first film in which Marilyn Monroe had a significant part as well. Rlquall 22:16, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:DanDailey.jpg
Image:DanDailey.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Refimprove
Besides numerous uncited items in the body of the article, this article included three random "unsubstantiated statements", with no citation of any kind, that were entered as references.

The wording in the "unsubstantiated statements" look like they might actually have been researched, but perhaps the editors didn't know that they needed the citation details to go along with the "unsubstantiated statements".

All three "unsubstantiated statements" were entered by IP addresses (two on 1 Sep 2008, one on 12 Jun 2016) rather than registered editors, so no way to ask them at their talk pages. One was expanded by a sockpuppet on 20 April 2009, but the sockpuppet has been blocked since 2010. Hoping the original notes were from friends or family of Mr. Dailey who still have access to the original research, if such research was done to support the "unsubstantiated statements" when they were originally entered.

The "unsubstantiated statements" were:


 * The 1920 census and Dailey's official enlistment record shows that he was born December 14, 1915, not 1913 as is sometimes reported.
 * Both the 1920 for New York City and 1930 Census for Nassau Co, New York list him as Daniel J Dailey, son of Daniel J & Helen Dailey - not James J Dailey as sometimes reported. His sister Irene also appears in the same 1930 census.
 * Dailey enlisted in the Army shortly after Pearl Harbor and attended Signal Corps Officer Candidate School at Fort Monmouth, NJ starting in September 1942. He was commissioned on Dec 12, 1942 and served until late 1946, when he was discharged as a captain.

Hope the original editors might see this and complete their work. Thanks. Jmg38 (talk) 06:07, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

He was an accomplished equestrian, jumpers over fences in the 1940s at least. 45.48.149.85 (talk) 19:03, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
