I have serious doubts about the author of that piece at famousfolks, genealogy.com. The author is only cited there as "The Genealogy.com Staff" which is not an acceptable citation since we cannot confirm that such an author is a credible expert in their field, who has been previously published by a third-party publication. Publication on your own site, is not an acceptable credential. I attempted to send an email to the email address listed on that article, and it bounced. I then sent an email to the parent company. In the meanwhile I have put a strike-through on the link with a note.Wjhonson (talk) 15:24, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You cannot do that kind of thing to a featured article. If you have an issue with a link, you can remove it, comment it out or raise it on the talk page, but you can't just make your own comment next to it in the bloody mainspace! As for the link itself, I see little encyclopaedic value to it an am all in favour of removing altogether. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:27, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"In a July 2009 interview he said that he did not believe in God, and that he was "probably 20 percent atheist and 80 percent agnostic."[177]"
Okay, that's not new. But the way it is worded is taking the quote a bit out of context. He state's he's agnostic, but has no trouble with religion abd believes it is a good thing (see sources used). Shouldn't it be elaborated a bit? 64.234.0.101 (talk) 06:30, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
