[edit] Merge to WSF III or IV?

The two articles differ on whether he is WSF III or IV. Mpntod 10:37, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV on the critisism

Should a sentence be added to explain why Farish doesn't think he was a bad ambassdor? Was he not too visible for security reasons (either immediately after 9/11 or because of 7/7 threats?

[edit] Desperately Seeking Cleanup

The "William S. Farish" suite has about 20 titles, probably counting rdrs like WSF IV to WSF III, that are hits in [1]. They may be consistent with each other, but not with the lks to them in two navigational aids. At a minimum,

• harmonize List of people by name: Fam-Faz#Fara - Farl, the Dab William Stamps Farish, and the articles
• answer, at least every place it is already asked, the question asked at Talk:William Stamps Farish IV and elsewhere on this page,
• provide for that answer evidence more compellingly reliable than the partisan, slipshod-edited, and probably contradictory William S. Farish#External links refs.

A truly thorough job would include inspecting any blue lks at Talk:William S. Farish/Farish article list that may have evaded the Google search, and the what-lks-here lks there.

... & weighing Talk:William Stamps Farish. And maybe lking each talk to a talk sub-page that consolidates the ruminations in one place, and expresses a documented conclusion about them.

I started a bit of cleanup on this mostly non-encyclopedic mess but it needs much work. Handicapper 17:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
