Talk:George F. Grant

NPOV
I'm pretty familiar with the history of fly fishing, river cosnervation and Grant's contributions. Maybe I can work this out for yous guys. Anyone have a reference to the FWP documentary made about George? I'll check the copy at the libary if needs be. ButteGuy 23:45, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Article reads like a nostalgiac eulogy from a friend. It needs a major rewrite to become an encyclopaedic entry. Budgiekiller 18:25, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi BK. George has made a lot of friends, of course, over his 100+ years of life. However, the point is that he has also been enormously influential: The 150-mile long Big Hole River is one of the last free flowing rivers in the US--this is largely because of Grant's efforts. Montana's Streambed Protection Act and Stream Access Law are models of conservation legislation, and they too derive from Grant's leadership. He published two important books on flytying in the 1970s, and they were popular enough that they were reprinted a decade later. No American history of flytying omits Grant. Finally, his successful efforts to create an organization that would outlive him and continue his work -- the Big Hole River Foundation -- is significant. Hope this helps. - ER —The preceding unsigned comment was added by EcoRover (talk • contribs).

Anyone know why edited links seem to disappear? Grant ought to be linked to the Big Hole River. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by EcoRover (talk • contribs).


 * Hey, yeah, thanks for that but the article really must maintain Wikipedia standards and be informative, factual and neutral point of view.

Cause of death not stated
Again, when an older person dies the media thinks it is not necessary to determine the causes of death. This is age discrimination.64.203.8.157 (talk) 04:37, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Edit requested on 26 October 2017
I think it would be beneficial for researcher's to mention that Grant's papers are located in Montana State University's Special Collections. His papers include audio cassettes, correspondence, slides, articles, and miscellaneous material relating to Grant and his newsletter "The River Rat." The material is important for anyone wishing to research Grant's life. MaxWellman (talk) 17:54, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello MaxWellman. I believe this information is already mentioned in the "Works" section of the article. Is there any more specific information that you believe is missing and should be included? Altamel (talk) 04:33, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
