Ed Warren (politician)

  • ... that Ed Warren, the 35th and 41st Mayor of Cheyenne, Wyoming, was an actor and one of three Cheyenne mayors to have played on Broadway? "Ed Warren Cheyenne's Vaudeville Mayor". February 12, 2020.

  • Just a quick question before I do the full review: is it okay to use the Wordpress link as the reference here? The link appears to be an official source but the use of Wordpress gives me pause. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 14:23, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
  • @Narutolovehinata5: I know you can't see newspapers.com links but I found the original citation from the Casper Tribune-Herald for the hook fact: [1]. It's now in there instead of the Wyoming State Archives link. Also a note for Jon698, since I happen to have made dozens of clippings from the Casper papers in the last two weeks: most of the publication lists will need updating to reflect the actual title of the papers (newspapers.com is quite bad at this for papers that merged or changed their names).

  • Great hook! Here is a full review: New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. I can view the newspaper article uploaded by Raymie and while it verifies third mayor and Broadway, you need an inline cite for the hook fact about vaudeville. QPQ done.

  • @Yoninah: Fixed. Took out the vaudeville part. - Jon698 (talk) 02:10, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
  • That sounds like the best solution, and it's still very hooky, thanks. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 11:26, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
