No children

Scott never had children. The two children mentioned were both adopted. (IssacBirnbaum (talk) 14:32, 10 December 2019 (UTC))Reply

After World War 1

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article text reads, "Scott then transferred to the University of North Carolina, where he majored in textile engineering and manufacturing." This is with virtual certainty a mistaken identification of North Carolina State University in Raleigh, known at that time as NC State College of Agriculture and Engineering. NC State has always been the flagship public university in North Carolina for engineering, textiles, agriculture, mathematical and physical sciences. UNC was never an engineering school. 2601:14C:8200:16CC:0:0:0:D (talk) 16:53, 17 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

What limitations?

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article says "Scott displayed a Southern drawl that offset his limitations" but mentions no limitations. The footnote refers to a description of his role in a Fred Astaire movie where Scott plays "an oafish halfback," but it's his movie character being described, not Scott! Inane! 23.93.104.210 (talk) 19:42, 12 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
