maybe mr. montroll should write a book about wikipedia after he takes roll...

Revision as of 23:09, 24 October 2007

I want to move this statement "John Montroll also holds the record for being the only person in the world who can whistle in 5 octaves, and holds many oragami world records also." into this discussion section and remove it from the article, until I can find a source.

Two reasons: 1) i'd like to remove the notice that says "this article is inadequately sourced", now that i've added a source. 2) I have also heard of this 5 octave "fact", as Mr. Montroll is known to have said this, as well as have shown this talent at Whistling conventions. But I'd like to track down documentation from reliable source.

Any objections? If not, I'll do so. Apologies if I'm not following form. I am a newbie editor & just thought it was a shame such a prominent Origami artist should not be properly sourced. Also, I did not write this original article... This is my first edit.

Thanks, Ken


Ok I went ahead and removed the un-sourced line above, as well as the broken photograph url, the "stub" templates and un-sourced warning from June 2006, tried to make language more objective. Let me know if you find any problems. I'm still learning on how to do this and will try to make more updates later. Best, Ken

Oops, didn't know how to sign talk pages before. Thanks to Nick, for the pointer. My latest updates... adding to Montroll's bibliography and adding another source. I know Montroll has been cited in Peter Engel's and Robert Lang's books... planning to add sentence or two on who he was influenced by (according to 2 interviews from the Paper, separated by about a decade), next time.
