A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on April 16, 2013.

"In 1889, the two friends were involved in the famous Denver registration and election fraud scandal". Not looking to row with you, but this is a rather subjective statement, and assumes that the reader will know about this event. Unfortunately, I have never even heard of this event, and objectively, I would suggest that maybe the incident is only famous in certain limited circles which rather undermines the way it is mentioned in Wiki in this case. Might I suggest, that a short summary of the nature of the fraud and why it became a scandal needs to be added. 46.7.85.68 (talk) 19:52, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't said what you think is wrong with the coordinates in the article. If you think that there is an error, you'll need to supply a clear explanation of what it is. Deor (talk) 15:23, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have noticed that user FiddleStix1217 added an "enhanced" picture to this and many other biographies (see e.g. the contributions of this IP and those of the user in general). While technically stunning, I doubt these picture make sense for Wikipedia. For example, in the current enhanced picture Bat Masterson looks definitely "cross eyed", while this is purely an artifact of the method used for the super-resolution; looking at the original picture it is clear that he was not suffering from strabismus.

In general, photo-enhancing techniques based on neural networks create good-looking pictures but can insert details that, while overall likely, are not present in the original picture (due to the original media resolution not capturing them, but also not present in the original subject at all like in this case). I suspect these pictures are either out of place for Wikipedia and more suited for a Netflix documentary or a popular science magazine, or should come with a big warning that the wonderful details are interpretation of an AI (for some context on the implications of this, see for example this article). --2A02:58:14F:CB00:5532:5D33:BF8C:8C02 (talk) 12:59, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
