[edit] Fallon, Nevada: Cancer Cluster
This news article writes
"Arsenic in the water, tungsten in the air, polonium in wells, underground atomic testing to the east - all have been reported by the media. The entry for "Fallon, Nevada" on Wikipedia, a popular online encyclopedia, mentions the leukemia cluster. It's no wonder some outsiders unfortunately perceive our community as unhealthy."
The entry in the Fallon, Nevada article lacks any footnotes and seemed like original research. Would you please review Fallon, Nevada: Cancer Cluster and footnote it and/or NPOV balance the article, if possible. Thanks. -- Jreferee t/c 14:16, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
- There are inline citations to Steinmaus, which is acceptable referencing by wikipedia standards. Having said that, I do see that there could well be additional material relevant to the article which is lacking. I am contacting the Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment, Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Ecology for any input which they information they might have access to which may be relevant to the article. It is my hope that the attention of individuals who are more directly knowledgable about this subject may be of greater use than my own, unfortunately very limited, knowledge of this specific subject.

[edit] Hello/Photo request
Hello Nevada Wikipedians. I am working on an article about the real-life Simpsons House in Henderson, Nevada. I live in Illinois so I was wondering if any Wikipedians in or near Henderson could obtain photographs of the house at 712 Red Bark Lane, it would be great if anyone had any pictures of it from before it was repainted ten years ago. Thanks in advance. IvoShandor 10:45, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, I don't myself live in the state. However, I can try to find any photos out there in the various books which deal with the subject and hope for the best. Somehow, I think that there probably are at least a few out there. Anyone who actually lives in the area is more than welcome to check the local sources, which I think are probably going to be more complete than my own. John Carter 13:25, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
