"The Dreamers" sculpture
[edit]I'm interested in adding some text about the sculpture "The Dreamers" (1994-95), by Larry Zink and Monica Taylor he said, that sits in front of the old Samuel W. Houston school. I've also got quality photographs of this artwork to submit. I'm open to any/all suggestions othasthat is what I said concerns, and appreciate any input on this matter. Thanks!

Tallness of the Sam Houston statue
[edit]what is the correct height of teh statue, 66 (as written under the picture) or 67 ft ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.211.225.31 (talk) 13:42, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
- It's probably between that, and it could be rounded either way. If you see a more specific measurement, use that. WhisperToMe (talk) 22:23, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

- There is nothing in your reference, nor in his Wikipedia biography, indicating his residence in Huntsville. Until you can produce a reference from a reliable source to show that he lives in Huntsville, you cannot list him in this article. No-one is doubting his notability, but his tie to the community needs to be referenced. Your knowledge is not a sufficient reference. You must provide a reference saying he lives (as opposed to works) in Huntsville. John from Idegon (talk) 18:14, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Most of the people on the list do not live in Huntsville (e.g. Dan Rather, Craig Flournoy, Richard Linklater) and the majority of them are dead. Thaksin is a prominent and controversial politician and his association with Huntsville is surprising and interesting:
From Wikipedia:
"He received a master's degree in Criminal Justice from Eastern Kentucky University in the United States in 1975, and three years later was awarded a doctorate in criminal justice at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas. Returning to Thailand, he reached the position of Deputy Superintendent ..."
From SHSU website[1]
"He graduated with his doctorate in criminal justice from Sam Houston State University in 1978."
and he is a "distinguished" and Life Member alumni of SHSU [2] [3]
He received a Humanitarian award from SHSU: [4] wherein it is stated: "Thaksin became affiliated with Sam Houston State University ...when he came to study for his doctorate in criminal justice..., which he received in 1979. The SHSU program is highly ranked and its faculty are often sought as experts on such topics as the recent Washington area sniper situation."
"Thaksin is remembered fondly by two of his former professors in the College of Criminal Justice at Sam Houston State--Rolando del Carmen, originally from the Philippines, and now a distinguished professor, and Sam Souryal, a former police administrator in Cairo, Egypt, who has taught at Sam Houston State for 28 years. Both have visited Thaksin in Thailand." [5]
While going to school he worked at the Burger King: [6] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.76.96.144 (talk) 19:32, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

- I removed all of the references except the Chronicle, as it is the only one of all these references that actually stated he lived in Huntsville. It is quite possible to hold a job in, or attend school in, a city without residing there. And all of the other people you mentioned have content in their article saying they were either born in, lived for a significant period of their life, or died in Huntsville. That is what is required. Thanks for finding a ref that finally said so. Also, please sign in when you edit, and remember to WP:AGF. John from Idegon (talk) 19:52, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
