Talk:Kenneth R. Shadrick

Entire article inaccurate
If the soldier was originally listed by the reporter as the "first reported fatality" of the U.S. Army in Korea, and the other, earlier fatalities are still unknown (and hence, unreported), what is the problem? He is still the first "reported" fatality, just as the journalist reported. This seems like whoever wrote the article is unaware of the distinctions between the categories and was trying to hard to make a point. Also draws a lot of conclusions not supported by sources.68.144.172.8 (talk) 00:21, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
 * No - Higgins reported that he was the first to be killed, which was incorrect (see this history of the war, which says "Miss Higgins erroneously publicized Shadrick as being the first American infantryman killed in the Korean War.") Many others repeated this (including as recently as 2011). You are wrong to think that the entire article is based on an incorrect premise. BencherliteTalk 00:47, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

"American football"?
"During his sophomore year in 1948, he developed an interest in American football..." Given that the article is written in American English (as the subject was from the USA), is it necessary to prefix the word "American" to football? 138.16.18.24 (talk) 06:27, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
