Talk:Nathan Eldon Tanner

message: I removed the reference to "commonly called N. Eldon Tanner, but my explanation upon removing it was muddled and wrong. I removed it because although he was known as "N. Eldon Tanner" in the LDS Church, he was known by his full name in Alberta politics, which he is just as noted for as his LDS Church service. Ubi Terrarum 10:10, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I arrived at this article by clicking on "Nathan Tanner" from the "List of Zions Camp Participants," but it's not the same Nathan Tanner (his grandfather, or great-grandfather, I think).

thread_title: Name

message: Eldon Tanner is recorded as saying "The church has no intention of changing it's doctrine on the Negro. Throughout the history of the original Christian church, the Negro never held the Priesthood. There's really nothing we can do to change this. It's a law of God." (http://www.utlm.org/newsletters/no39.htm) This was said in 1967. However, in 1978 this idea was made obsolete with the Revelation on Priesthood, which he is credited as being a part of. I believe it's important to add this quote in some way, as it adds context about the church during this time, and illustrates what its leadership was like. 
I'm aware that this may make the article biased, but this contradiction is significant. Terrarialord201 (talk) 04:41, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

message: Should read "Summary of technical achievements, according to his son". Rather, deleted or suitably verified. As it is, it just says "his son said that ...", and wobbly at best. Tracks and slides have been used before he was even born (Oncahye, 1840), and as to the rest, how about some independent verification?. The bit about Amaryllis, however, is correct to my knowledge.

replies: text: Thanks for pointing this out, . That section was already tagged. I looked for alternate sources, but couldn't find any. So, I searched for each claim in the work cited and removed anything that wasn't in the book. The list is much shorter, now.

replies: text: Wow, that was fast?!? Thank you, . Since I don't have access to said biography, I couldn't verify those claims myself.

Talk:Victims of the Night of the Long Knives

message: In expanding the article I've relied on Richard J. Evans' The Third Reich in Power, recently published in 2005, which the Atlantic Monthly called a "wonder of synthesis and acute judgment...the definitive study for at least a generation."  The New York Times Book Review said "Evans has done a great service simply in digesting the mountain of recent scholarship on the Nazis...," and The Boston Globe calls the book "a work drawn from from a mountain of scholarship..."  The citations Evans uses are primarily original sources in German, and includes much recent scholarship that earlier writers did not have access to.
This of course does not mean that the article could not benefit from other sources.  However, when there is a conflict between sources (although these are few), I've tended to defer to Evans.--Mcattell 16:32, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What I'm trying to say here is that some sources are much better than others.  The best sources in English language for this event are those by historians Richard J.

Ideally this'd be a sortable table, with fields filled out if known, such as: name, age, job, politics, location, reason targeted, source of claim for being on the list (original 11, 77, etc).

Talk:Ness Edwards

message: This article now starts :"The Right Honourable Onesimus Edwards (5 April 1897 – 3 May 1968), generally known as Ness Edwards, was a Welsh Labour Party politician." I do think this is not a very appropriate introduction. Compare the heading for the same person in the Welsh Dictionary of National Biography /Welsh Biography Online -"EDWARDS, NESS (1897 - 1968), trade unionist and Member of Parliament" - at . Ness Edwards was never generally known as 'Onesimus'- his original given name is of very little interest - it raises a smile, and so could I suppose be consigned to a footnote. His membership of the Privy Council- to which he was appointed in 1948, as a member of the Attlee post war Labour government - was a fairly minor part of his work as a trade unionist and Labour politician, and starting the article with the words 'Right Honourable' gives this minor fact undue weight. Even Hansard refers to him throughout as 'Mr. Ness Edwards' - both before and after he was made a member of the Privy Council - see . My own view is that the opening sentences of articles on Labour /trade union figures such as Ness Edwards should reflect how they were generally referred to by their contemporaries. This would avoid the risk that the Wikipedia article could appear both anachronistic and overly-concerned with formal titles. I think Welsh Biography Online has got it roughly right - as indeed has Hansard. Before I propose amendments I thought I should ask what others think.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gwedi elwch (talk • contribs) 07:52, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why "Nicholaos"? And why "Gysis"? 

message: As I am Greek I strongly believe that Nik Ethel is right, "Nickolaos" sounds funny. But the most important fact is the difference between what is the real name and what is the translation of it. If someone checks the article Nickolas will find out that difference I am talking about. In Greek we use "Nikolaos" when the name is translated in English and as far as I can see from the article Nikolaos, where the Greek names are translated that way, this opinion is right. Also in the article Nicholas it is obvious that "Nicholaos" is in fact the English name - version of the Greek "Nikolas". As a conclusion I believe that we should change the name and use "Nikolaos". 
About the last name also I think that Gyzis is the right one, but only accoarding to phonetical issues of Greek language. Also I have to say that worlwide (in bibliographies and articles) his last name is used both ways...  --Thaliapap (talk) 14:58, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
