Talk:Morris Lyon Buchwalter

Serious attention needed
This article is clearly pasted from a variety of sources which are off-line. Many of them may well be out of copyright, but it is plagiarism not to acknowledge clearly that the material is incorporated verbatim. Because of the type of material pasted, the style of the article is very unencyclopedic in places, and needs serious cleanup and copyediting. I am also concerned that parts of this article may be lifted verbatim from previously published articles in alumni or fraternity magazines. If the magazines was published after 1923, the material is almost certainly in copyright (even if you are the author) and cannot be extensively quoted. Any brief quotes must be clearly marked as such and clearly attributed to their source. Voceditenore (talk) 10:28, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Errors in this article
The death date was completely spurious. He died on 12 March 1924 (not in 1932, which is when his widow died). I've added a reference to his obituary in the Cornell Almuni News, and in the process discovered that his name is misspelled. It is Morris Lyon Buchwalter not "Lyons", per the Cornell obituary and numerous other available references. I have moved the article to the correct name and left a re-direct. This article needs to be carefully checked. It has very poor referencing and I suspect it's full of factual errors and original research. Voceditenore (talk) 09:31, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Also there appears to be some ambiguity about his name in general, as it appears he was initiated into Phi Kappa Psi under the name Morris Luthar Buchwalter. Do we have any concrete evidence one way or the other? 128.253.56.195 (talk) 16:48, 16 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Not claiming that the newspaper article is wrong, but it might be worth noting that some old newspapers did very little spell checking; I have old newspaper clippings with obituaries of long-gone relatives that were terribly misspelled (names, cities, etc.) Caduon (talk) 03:28, 15 November 2011 (UTC)


 * In regards to the ambiguity noted by IP user: could that be referring to his brother Capt. Luther Morris Buchwalter? Caduon (talk) 03:31, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Removal of copy editing tag
Seems to be sufficiently copyedited at this point, will remove tag. It does seem, however, to need some more citation and verification work, so I'll leave that. Caduon (talk) 04:05, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
