Talk:Paul Whitehead

message: I can hardly believe I've just read this entry!  Paul Whitehead was my brother's best friend at school and they went hitch-hiking round Europe together when they were about 17 (I've got all the pix of them setting off together at home, including some with me) and my mum was very friendly with Mrs Whitehead.  I knew Paul had gone into album design (I knew about Genesis) but I didn't think he'd got so big, and even warranted himself a whole Wikipedia entry, wow!  (I remember he turned up on my mum's doorstep once, clad in a fur coat to the ground - she was fairly speechless!)  I must tell her about this page, how nice to see Paul venerated like this!  :-)  Jaycey 10:07, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Testimonial 

message: I removed this nickname from the article as it doesn't appear to be real. This article was cited as a source, but after a quick search no other news outlets seem to support this. I believe it may be a case of circular referencing, as an old version of this article included the nickname, only unsourced, and presumably the writer used Wikipedia to research his or her article without checking the facts. So in this case the citation should be disregarded. J Mo 101 (talk) 21:14, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I've seen it written down elsewhere, and heard it on BBC coverage. but it's entirely feasible to believe that the written form and BBC coverage were also using this as a source. Still a little dubious as it involves presumption of guilt on our side. He was highly regarded at the time, and may look into another source to satisfy things, as it feels both right and wrong in almost equal measures to remove this nickname.Fleets (talk) 08:29, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

I take it that this addition would not offend?Fleets (talk) 09:29, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: That seems to be acceptable, although I would perhaps cite this article rather than one of the tabloid papers. I'm not a huge fan of nickname fields in infoboxes as they're prone to vandalism, and there aren't nearly enough of us to keep watch on all rugby league articles, but as long as the nickname is notable and it's reliably sourced I have no problem with them. The previous one I felt was a bit dubious per my reasoning above. J Mo 101 (talk) 19:44, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Talk:The Mystery of the Great Pyramid, Volume 1: Manetho's Papyrus

message: The current article name is immensely long, and offers no chance of anyone ever typing out the correct title. Suggest it be moved to something more useful, with the chapter title being one likely choice. The Mystery of the Great Pyramid could redirect here until the Vol.II article is activated, at which point I guess it should disambiguate.
Anyone have strong feelings and good reason why this is not better? MURGH disc. 10:21, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Mace-Kingsley Ranch School

message: There are many factual errors with this page, and previous attempts to correct them have been reverted. I therefore recommend removing the article entirely, as it is packed full of inaccuracies, as well as missing information and so forth.
Here are some examples:
-It says 12-17 age range. Actually it was 8-17. I know because I was there at age 8 as were several others.
-It says 'Gila Wilderness' instead of Cruzville
-Brian Lebarton, drummer for Beck and others is not listed as notable student.
-It oddly only lists Miles Decker as a staff member, though there were many more
Those are some but not nearly all examples.
I find that protecting erroneous information is more negative than positive. Please just remove the article if you're not interested in representing the truth.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.230.196.23 (talk) 17:18, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: You know OnUpOnUs, this page badly needs a rewrite. But looking at some of these compelling stories of their life on the Ranch, I don't think they belong here on the WP page. We can't add anything that isn't sourced to a strong citation from a notable secondary source. Otherwise it is just quoting primary sources and looks like original research. If you allow one person's experience on the page from a blog or a forum post, then you have to allow all first-hand experiences. That could become very cumbersome and problematic. I hope you take my suggestion in the kindness that it is offered, I look forward to your rewrite.Sgerbic (talk) 20:14, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I completely agree Sgerbic, as compelling and gripping as some of the stories on this WP are, they must be notable and from a high quality secondary source to be cited. Thank you very much for your reply! OneUpOnUs (talk) 21:51, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Deeplai Memon

message: In my view Deeplai memons are not a separate branch of Memons, it is a sub-group of Sindhi Memons, other Sindhi memons sub-group includes   Jumani, Yousefani and Bachani.  Deeplai are Sindhi memons from Deeplo, a village in the Thar desert.
In my view, The Memons could be indentified within three main branches
*Memons from Kathiawar  (Kathiawadi)  includes Halai, Okhai etc.
*Kutchi Memons ( Kachchh – Kutch a district of State of Gujrat – formerly part of Bombay )
*Sindhi Memons ( a province of present day Pakistan formerly part of Bombay)
Memons also include certain Kathri,Tharati, Nasarpuria   --Siddique Katiya 10:40, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Many 20th century scores include an "expected duration".  This would at least assist in answering questions such as yours, Meg.  I wonder if these notations typically from the editor (publisher), or the composer?   If the latter then this is particularly interesting information, giving some indication of a 'canonical' running time, and hence tempi. Interested in your views, Viva; perhaps such information, where available, and with suitable qualifications, could sensibly be added to opera articles.For what it's worth, this recording of Riders to the Sea has a running time of approximately 42 minutes.--Simon the Likable (talk) 20:16, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:North Acton tube station

message: There seems to be some disagreement about this.  Anon user 80.47.249.191 feels that the fact it is in NW10 is the deciding factor.  However, postcodes have one purpose and one purpse only - to help the Royal Mail deliver letters.  The extent of the NW postcode area does not necessarilly coincide with North West London.  If you took postcode areas as the only factor, there would be no such thing as South London. The West London article suggests that London Borough of Ealing belongs in West London.  Unless there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary, it would seem describng the station as in West London is the safest option. DrFrench 10:43, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Template talk:Infobox school/Archive HighSchool (American)

message: :Template:Infobox HighSchool is either written with non-American schools in mind, or things have changed a lot in the last decade of American secondary school lingo. In the U.S. the "head" is the principal, or for the literal translation: toilet. "Campus" is what the school grounds are called in the states, so district seemed more logical. (Having Campus and Head as entries would be sort of like having a Brain: entry for people.) Anynobody 10:51, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Why is this here?

message: I looked at the list of Education infoboxes, and there are about half a dozen American school infoboxes that give largely identical information. I think it would be a good idea to merge all of these into Template: Infobox Education in the United States, because they're almost exactly the same and aren't specific to any one specific type of American school. I propose merging the following infobox templates into Template: Infobox Education in the United States:
*Template:Infobox HighSchool
*Template:Infobox HighSchool (American)
*Template:Infobox VirginiaHighSchool
*Template:Infobox K-12 School
*Template:Infobox US school
*Template:Infobox middle school
Also, does anyone have experience with merging templates? How will infoboxes appear when the template for them no longer exists under the same name? Will a redirect on the deleted pages be enough to fix it? Tserton 20:45, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Maiden name Gevergeeva, not Gevergeva
Father's first name Levkii, not Levko
"Her father was a freethinker and both her parents were raised as Muslims" - please omit. Father only had a muslim background, mother a Swedish one.
"After the Russian Revolution of 1917 she entered The Maryinsky Ballet School as a night student, when it began to admit children of non-Christian backgrounds". Wrong. T.G. was Christian. She had been simply too old to be admitted to the Imperial Theatre School (not "Maryinsky Ballet School") 14 years old but could join it when the evening classess were created after the Revolution. There she met Balanchine, not at ballroom classes.
She began appearing professionally by 1925 in a German production of A Midsummer Night's Dream as Oberon. Please correct:  Still in Russia, she began appearing professionally in ballet eveninigs.
Should be added:
In 1924, together with Balanchine and Danilova, Geva defected from the Soviet Russia on a tour to Germany, after Diaghilev had invited them to join the "Ballets Russe" where she danced until 1926.
In 1926 and 1932 danced in Paris with Boris Kniaseff.
At the end:
In her later years, had several exhibitions of her paintins.

thread_title:  TOTP Video 

message: In 2014 someone changed the line re: the song "Mouldy Old Dough" was the second best selling single in the UK for 1972 behind "Amazing Grace" to Nilsson's version of "Without You." This is in conflict with wikipedia's own source for best selling UK singles for the year, which lists "Amazing Grace," as does the separate wikipedia article for "Mouldy Old Dough." Most likely this was a good-faith mistake going off erroneous information. Or perhaps the other references are wrong? Unless a new source can be presented that backs up "Without You" being the best seller for the year, it has been reverted to "Amazing Grace." ShelbyMarion (talk) 21:10, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
