Birthplace

[edit]

The listed birthplace has been in the article since it was created, and has been unsourced the entire time. I'll keep looking, but I can't think of having seen it appear in any sources. His obituary gives his birthplace as simply Montana without specifying exactly where. His birth certificate and a slew of primary sources in a similar vein say that he was born in Kalispell. The birth certificate also says that his parents lived in Tacoma, Washington at the time. I couldn't make out the handwriting, but it appeared his father was traveling for work. In other words, we shouldn't be giving additional weight to his birthplace beyond the event of his birth, something which happens far too often in these projects. Witness the example right here on this talk page of adding WP Montana and not any Washington state WikiProjects, when the latter obviously played a far more prominent role in his life.
