[edit] Undeclared homosexual

How can the writer claim that Egbert was an undeclared homosexual with no citation? If he were undeclared, how would the author know? I propose this gets deleted.

  • He was undeclared at the time, but this information was subsequently revealed in Dear's 1984 book on Egbert (Dungeon Master). I added the citation to the article for this. Fairsing 15:26, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Older comments

I agree with about everything in this article, but dont find it to be neutral. I dont have time to change it right now, and i dont know to add the disputed article header.

  • If there is no dispute, it is a dumb idea to add a disputed article header. You have not stated why you do not like it, and thus no one has defended the article. Therefore, there is no dispute. --Bky1701 12:01, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merger with James Dallas Egbert III article

It strikes me that these articles essentially cover the same ground. I don't see any reason why there would be an article about JDE III except for the steam tunnel incident. Put another way, the person himself doesn't seem to be particularly noteworthy; it is the indicent and the cultural reaction to / books written about the incident that are noteworthy from an encyclopedic perspective. Therefore, I am suggesting we eliminate the redundancy, merge the JDE III content into the Steam tunnel incident article, and keep JDE III as a redirect to Steam tunnel incident. Any thoughts on this proposal? Fairsing 20:07, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Although JDE's IQ is noteworthy, he never really managed to achieve anything. I support the merge. Seahen 21:30, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Steam tunnels

Is there some implication that a) thre are no steam tunnels at Michigan State University, or 2) that students (and possible others) did not obtain keys to same and enter them to wander around and use the tunnels illegally to enter buildings surreptitiously? Edison 21:56, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Who's surprised?

I'd go nuts if people were callin' me 'Egbert' all the time.
