I restored and extended a quote of Neil deGrasse Tyson which you had removed. If there is clear evidence he was in error in his quoting of Bush, this should be noted in the comment, but the statement itself need not be removed. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 18:12, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
There have been a large number of well-sourced news articles over the last week noting that the George W. Bush quote is fake.
- I have been out on a short excursion, am about to go forth on another one, and then will probably be gone for several hours attending to several tasks. I can accept that there may be strong evidence of error in the quote, and controversies and assessments regarding this SHOULD be indicated, in comments beneath the quote — but just the fact that there IS so much fuss about such remarks provides a clear reason to RETAIN the remarks and provide valid commentary upon them — and perhaps add a misattribution account to the Bush page as well. I have time for NONE of that right now, and might not for a few days — but I am resorting the quote, and will NOTE that there is controversy regarding such remarks, and this will permit others to fill in details as they wish. I will probably do so, if no one else does, but I have to be doing other things SOON. So it goes… ⨀∴☥☮♥∵ॐ …Blessings. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 21:25, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
