Untitled[edit]

Article has been entered and edited by only one Wikipedian, who uses a great deal of invective when describing the subject.Article may have been written in jest. Seems to editorialize rather than accurately describe subject or subject's activities. Makes several implied assertions about subject's character and acts (specifically that the subject is known for making bribes), then claims subject admits these allegations, but does so without any formal quotes, links or documentation. Some article items are known and reported by local media in subject's hometown: namely, the subject's frequenting of public schools as a motivational speaker. Claims about Gallery Furniture being largest in the country may be accurate, but probably need to be verified in light of other comments within the article.

I can find no corroboration for the substance abuse claims in this article. Should that section be removed?

additional information and citation[edit]

While in the Houston area Mac's philanthropy is will known, it will be difficult to cite as few things are mentioned. His donating several rooms of furniture for several families over the past couple of weeks aren't even cited anywhere that I can find. I won't revert the editing, but if you can cite his book or something, then I would suggest that you do before someone else does. Also, let's keep his awards and philanthropy in an easy and organized manner. --Hourick (talk) 22:04, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The fire[edit]

I added some information about the fire over at History of Houston Fire Department, for those that feel some editing might be needed as the links are moved around and some additional information about the fire is revealed.--Hourick (talk) 18:40, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    • I added a new article. I am not very good at this so I am sure I made some mistakes. Please clean up anything I did wrong. jspugh —Preceding undated comment added 15:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC).[reply]
    • While the article was changed to show that Arson is the cause of the fire; would it be proper to put in that witnesses initially thought the generator was at fault? --Hourick (talk) 21:41, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, you can say witnesses said/believed that a generator was at fault. WhisperToMe (talk) 22:48, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Needs data about Katrina[edit]

I see we've added data about Harvey, but he did the same thing in Katrina per [[1]]. Crazysane (T/C\D) 11:44, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
