LeRoy Neiman
Thanks for your contribution. I just wanted to make sure it can be supported by citations. In terms of the birthplace, please cite secondary sources if you have them. See this discussion: Wikipedia_talk:No_original_research I see that the recent Pioneer Press article addresses birthplace discrepancy - St. Paul or Duluth are the possibilities they mention. But do any news articles mention Braham? As of this writing, the infobox on the article says "St. Paul" still.--Larrybob (talk) 23:20, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I am a professional research historian,living and working in Minnesota for more than forty years. I took the birth information directly from Mr. Neiman's (LeRoy Leslie Runquist) birth certificate, which is on file in Isanti County, Minnesota, and is also on microfilm copy at the Minnesota Historical Society in St. Paul, Minnesota, and which I have reviewed in person, and taken notes. LeRoy's older brother, Charles Earl Runquist, was also born in Braham,(Isanti Co.)Minnesota, on November 27, 1919. His younger sister, Phyllis May Runquist, was born in St. Louis County, Minnesota (which is where Duluth is located) on November 26, 1922. Perhaps that is where the confusion comes from - LeRoy possibly believed he was born in Duluth, because his younger sister was born there. As far as the other information about his family and homes, that is directly from my own research on Mr. Neiman, all taken from primary sources (census records, city directories, vital records, etc.) I'm aware of the of the mention of "Duluth" in Mr. Neiman's autobiography, and the birthplace of "St. Paul" in most of the on-line biographies - and, which of course are incorrect locations for his birth.

Unfortunately, I have never figured out how to enter my citations on those Wiki pages, after I make my additions and corrections. Perhaps you could give me some advice on that. I can easily reference birth certificate numbers, city directory pages, census pages, etc. By the way, it appears that Mr. Neiman likely moved to St. Paul at about the age of five or six years (c.1926 - 1927), after his mother's marriage to John L. Niman (Neiman) in Minneapolis, (Hennepin County)Minnesota, in 1926. Please let me know if I can be of further help, or you need anything more from me. All the best, Jim Sazevich, Historian, St. Paul, Minnesota. Phone: 651-222-8160, Email: jimsazevich@yahoo.com   Thank you.

Joan Davis
Hi. I have reverted your edit to the Joan Davis article because we do not include commentary about mistakes, etc. within the article text. If you feel Davis' date of birth is incorrect and have a source for this information, please leave a post on the article's talk page (located here) and this matter can be discussed. Thanks.
