SANDBOX #3 - Indian Head Maryland

Found data that was noted as needing citation added. I found a link to a page for the location, that is so good, it appears that either the Wikipeadia page has information cut and pasted from the pamphlet, or they were so impressed with Wikipedias information, that they used it. Left a note on the talk page. Will look more into it. ASU557 (talk) 07:53, 5 February 2018 (UTC)ASU557
 * Okay, received a response back from another Wikipedian that verified this appeared to be a copy, and therefore not a "reliable source".ASU557 (talk) 01:39, 12 February 2018 (UTC)ASU557
 * Checking into it further, hard to determine who is copying who. I put question out in Hallway Conversations to see if there are any ideas on determining true source.  ASU557 (talk) 03:09, 12 February 2018 (UTC)ASU557

SANDBOX #2 - for HST 101 Article Evaluation: Article Evaluation: Warsaw Pact

This article is rated an (S). The article is neutral for the most part. (Talk Page is another story) There is one statement that seems to draw a conclusion: "Before the creation of the Warsaw Pact, Czechoslovak leadership, fearful of a rearmed Germany, sought to create a security pact with East Germany and Poland." Not finding a supporting source for this statement. Most of the article seems to point more towards this being in response to West Germany being brought into NATO, not a concern with a rearmed Germany per se.ASU557 (talk) 06:57, 29 January 2018 (UTC)ASU557

There seems to be some verbiage that could be construed as biased. One example is, "...talks about a German reunification, initiated by the so-called 'Stalin Note',..." ASU557 (talk) 06:57, 29 January 2018 (UTC)ASU557

Lots of conversations over the years on the Talk Page for this article. Many arguments over what is fact and point of view (POV), but then there doesn't seem to have been much follow-up after that. Most comments date back to 2006 or earlier, with a couple from 2011, but nothing appears to have been done since those comments to better the page. ASU557 (talk) 06:57, 29 January 2018 (UTC)ASU557

The Talk Page seems to be filled with a lot of "point of view" comments, some may be true arguments, but no reliable sources to back the arguments. One even writes, they know it (a certain point) is all wrong, but they don't have time to research it.ASU557 (talk) 06:57, 29 January 2018 (UTC)ASU557

Posted concerning dates of actual dissolving of the Warsaw Pact not all being in agreement on the page. Will do some more research on this, or clarification as to why various dates may all be valid.ASU557 (talk) 06:57, 29 January 2018 (UTC)ASU557

 * By the 1980's there were issues related to economic problems in all the Eastern European Countries.
 * As the decade of the 1980's came to a close, there had been many changes in the politics of member nations. These changes made the pact useless.
 * East Germany left the Pact when it started down the path for reunification with West Germany. ASU557 (talk) 01:55, 12 February 2018 (UTC)ASU557
 * Soviet Union dissolved and in 1991 the Warsaw Pact disbanded. ASU557 (talk) 03:03, 12 February 2018 (UTC)ASU557

In this article there is only reference to two on line sources, and one of those is possibly a television episode. ASU557 (talk) 01:36, 15 November 2017 (UTC)ASU557

There does not appear to be any mention of the architecture as far as actual construction of the structure. ASU557 (talk) 01:36, 15 November 2017 (UTC)ASU557

The link under "sources" http://www.kinabaloo.com/temple_of_heaven.html does not work and takes you to a page that shows it is an expired domain. ASU557 (talk) 01:58, 15 November 2017 (UTC)ASU557

No recent information for several years, with the exception of one comment made this year (this month in fact) about why the park is mentioned. ASU557 (talk) 02:15, 15 November 2017 (UTC)ASU557

Today noticed a line that states, "The occupation desecrated the temple and resulted in serious damage to the building complex and the garden. Robberies of temple artifacts by the Alliance were also reported.[citation needed]" I put a posting regarding either removing the statement, or assistance in finding a source to support the statement.

Haha, after all this time of hand typing the markups, I just figured out how to click and use the quick guide, which of course was explained, but didn't click until playing with it more. ASU557 (talk) 03:42, 29 November 2017 (UTC)ASU557
