Error in where he was raised

"Boortz was born in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, but, since his was a military family, he was raised elsewhere, in many locations throughout the country (most notably, in the small community of Thrall, Texas)." "Elsewhere" is not nessassery in the sentence sinse you have "in many locations throughout the country".

GA concerns

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are outlined below:

  • There are numerous citation needed tags in the article, some dated from Oct 2019.
  • There are some unreliable sources used in the article, like "nndb.com", "Antiwar.com" and "About.com"

Is anyone interested in addressing the above concerns? If not, should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 22:11, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

There are numerous citation needed tags in the article, with one dated from Oct 2019. There are some unreliable sources used in the article, like "nndb.com", "Antiwar.com" and "About.com" Z1720 (talk) 02:24, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

The sourcing on this article is diabolical, it's hard to find a single reliable one. This is especially bad for a biography of a living politically notable person. The sourcing issues are fundamental to the article, so fixing them would require a rewrite which is obviously a lot of work. I think this article should be delisted within the next week unless someone volunteers to undergo the effort. It is a wonderful world (talk) 12:23, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
