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 |Frank_Moss_(politician) 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,|Frank_Moss_(politician)|Frank_Moss_(technologist)|Frank_Moss_(rugby_union)|Frank_Moss_(lawyer)|Frank_Moss_(footballer,_born_1895)|Frank_Moss_(Virginia_politician)|Frank_Moss_(footballer,_born_1909)|Frank_Moss_(footballer,_born_1917) 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)

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 . 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)
