Talk:Shibata Nagaatsu

message: This is just bizarre. His name in Japanese clearly reads "Nagaatsu," and that is all that is given on Japanese wiki. Even the text here states he is "usually known as Nagaatsu," so where did Naganori come from??? There is not even a single hit on Google for "しばたながのり” in Japanese, so no clue where this misnomer is from. Most (if not all) English hits trace back to this one Wikipedia article. The only English source cited here also calls him "Nagaatsu." Accordingly, I've changed the name from "Shibata Naganori" to "Shibata Nagaatsu." --Ash-Gaar (talk) 05:14, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Alan McGilvray

message: I don't know if this has ever been reported anywhere, but I understand he was the driver in a car accident in Sydney in which a pedestrian was accidentally killed.  I think this occurred sometime between the 1940s and the 1950s.  The reason I know of this, is that the pedestrian was my uncle's brother.  I'm certainly not wanting to blacken McGilvray's name (it was an accident), and I'd need to find a published source, but I'd appreciate another opinion as to whether this is an appropriate matter to include in his article.  If it is factual, I can't see why not.  Others may disagree.  JackofOz 22:15, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd say that its not worthy of a mention (with due respect to your uncle's brother), even if a source was found.

Talk:Baker City Tower

message: The lead paragraph has a citation to the periodical "The Architect and Engineer". When I went to look at the reference, it turned out to be an advertisement. WP:SPONSORED clearly bars use of ads in most circumstances. In particular, the information drawn from the ad — the identity of the architect and builder — are things that should be easy enough to find in reliable sources. As a result, I am removing the reference and replacing it with . (Note that I am not disputing the truth of the facts presented, just the quality/allowability of the particular reference.) — Ipoellet (talk) 21:10, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The architect is listed in many of the existing sources, so I put a ref directly after the first mention of the architect. I couldn't find any other source for the builder online except the one I used. The only think taken from that source was the name of the general contractor and roofing contractor, which seem uncontroversial. I found a few mentions of Almeter working on other buildings in Portland in that timeframe, but nothing else on the Baker Hotel. I think the source is acceptable for this purpose, (we allow using a person's or company website for some basic information). I changed the tag to "better" source needed.

Talk:Sir Valentine Browne, Knight

message: I am placing this material here for the moment; it sounds plausible but is proving eerily hard to verify.
Browne began his political career as a Vice-Admiral of the Coast, first for Northumberland in 1563, and later in the shires of Durham and Westmoreland in 1568. Valentine Browne rose to prominence during Queen Elizabeth's wars in Scotland against Mary, Queen of Scots. Browne was knighted in 1570 “for his valours”, by the Lord Sussex after leading an assault on towns and villages all over Anandale. Having seized Ananda Castle, and Caer Lancrock, a Castle of the Maxwells’ and drove those who held for the Queen of Scots to such straights, that the Duke of Castle-Herald, Huntley, and Argyle sent unto him a writing under their hands and seals’, whereby they bound themselves both to abstain from war and to surrender to the English. In 1573 he led the assault that captured Edinburgh Castle.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlittlet (talk • contribs) 20:12, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:William Carey (courtier)

message: Why is it that no one ever mentions William Carey's royal blood?  It gets assumed often that Mary Boleyn was married off to some minor nobody after her French adventures, but William Carey was 3rd cousin to Henry VIII and held the favoured and intimate position of Gentleman of the Privy Chamber - a much-vied-for position in Tudor times.
Even if you just glance at the ancestry given in this article you see that his great-great-grandfather was John Beaufort, the eldest son of John of Gaunt by Katherine Swynford.  Carey's maternal grandmother was Eleanor Beaufort, a 1st cousin of Lady Margaret Beaufort, the matriarch of the Tudor Dynasty.
Rather than being very minor gentry with no position Carey was of royal blood and an intimate of his cousin Henry's.  Had he not died so young, we might have seen great things from him.  History Lunatic (talk) 04:25, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

File talk:SFCityHallInteriorStairs.jpg

message: I noted that in the article, the security checks are briefly mentioned and refer to them as being post 9/11. In 1988 I visited San Francisco and the City Hall. I went through a security checkpoint which included an x-ray machine and a metal detector.  I think the checkpoints were placed at the City Hall entrances in the wake of the 1978 assassination of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk.  It is possible that the security checkpoints were upgraded since 9/11 as I have not visited San Francisco since then.

thread_title:  Rouse was in agony 

message: "Rouse, when conscious, was in agony, and the other climbers decided to leave him to save their own lives."
Maybe nitpicking but "decided" seems like a loaded, inappropriately judgemental choice of words. All of them had been above 8000m for many days and without water for three.  Not only is a rescue at that altitude widely acknowledged to be impossible, between oxygen starvation and dehydration the others' cognitive state would have rendered them incapable of "deciding" anything.  It is important to examine what happened when something goes wrong in the mountains, but assigning blame is rarely productive.96.240.128.124 (talk) 01:44, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I take the point.  One problem is that that whole section is unreferenced, so it is not possible to know what is stated in the source material and what is an editor's own judgement.  This source says: "They believed they didn't stand a chance of getting Rouse down in his semi-comatose condition, so they made him as comfortable as they could and left him in his tent. No one harbored any illusions that they would see him again. The five conscious survivors, in fact, were in such bad shape themselves that the descent quickly became a case of everyone for himself."

Thus, Thomas Hoby was Robert's uncle (not his cousin) by virtue of his marriage to Elizabeth, Robert's aunt (= his mother's sister). 2601:285:8380:39A0:4D8D:D35A:F9D2:9B45 (talk) 06:16, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
