Talk:Jay J. Armes

This article reads like a press release written by its subject or a barely-literate flack. Maybe we should kill it.Donfbreed (talk) 22:52, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It definitely needs an extensive rewrite. I'm a bit annoyed that someone saw fit to use the singular form "prosthesis" for both the singular and the plural cases. 98.211.124.55 (talk) 00:56, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree, the Greek grammar is lousy. Time makes it impossible to teach every one the very good Greek
 * language. The article sounds like spamming, but I feel inclined to leave it standing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.254.25 (talk) 15:42, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * His handicap is, perhaps, my reason.

I am attempting a cleanup, but sadly my Greek grammar is lacking too - I have settled for replacing a lot of the instances with "prosthetics". I've also separated the text into three sections, Early life and amputation (I hate the second part of that title but can't think of anything else), Career, and Distinctions.

Dates
Maybe I'm nitpicking, but doesn't it seem that in a _biographical_ article, at the very least, a date of birth should be included? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.232.24.70 (talk) 05:18, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Hispanic
Armes is said to be Hispanic, but seems to have ancestors from several parts of Europe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.254.83 (talk) 12:14, 5 May 2010 (UTC) He seems to be about half English and half Spanish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.254.83 (talk) 10:23, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Alloy steel
The phrase "alloy steel" appears in the article. This is common in America. As all forms of steel could be viewed as alloys of iron and carbon, the word "alloy" is not needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.149.117.81 (talk) 13:47, 18 May 2010 (UTC) See Steel, which implies that all forms of steel are alloys. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.149.117.81 (talk) 13:52, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Previously Vandalized
Mr.Armes' page was vandalized for reasons that were in fact in the media. I would like an admin to please protect it if possible. I am open to discuss this situation. I am in personal contact with him, so if there is anything needed to validate this, please feel free to contact me for that arrangement. --Truth Mom (talk) 02:05, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Please provide evidence which is sourced to a reliable source. Corvus cornix talk  17:25, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The source is listed above, as well if you would like any more information, Your welcome to contact a Mr. Ralph Thomas at this website as well. He has many things to work on including into this. We just need assistance to get it in there. Is that something you are willing to facilitate? ( These men are Top International Investigators, so it is understandable they are busy :) ) --Truth Mom (talk) 19:14, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I also am new to all of this, and have spoken to Mr. Wales regarding another matter, and intend to see if he would assist me here as well. --Truth Mom (talk) 19:15, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

How about you write it and I will get you all the information, pictures and all you need ? --Truth Mom (talk) 20:13, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Like I said, reliable sources. What makes those reliable sources?   Corvus cornix  talk  01:51, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Date of birth
The top of the page has 12/8/1932. At the bottom of the page, 1938 is mentioned. IMDB has 12/8/1939. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.27.109.117 (talk) 15:02, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * The accident with the explosive seems to have been in 1946. This implies that Armes was born in 1932. He was 13 at the time of the explosion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.162.31 (talk) 17:04, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Another version says he was 11 at the time of the explosion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.53.53.130 (talk) 07:35, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Entry on prosthetic hands missing?
I am glancing over this today and I see absolutely no mention at all of the prosthetic hands he uses or the variations he has used. Were it not for the photo there would be no way of telling this from the article. I thought there once was an entry on them but there is not now. Vandalism?
