replies: text: Of course, no big deal -- that just happened to be a date on my mind, as I drive myself insane trying to figure out the chain of management and ownership at Drury Lane over 350 years. —Bunchofgrapes  (talk) 21:18, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Just curious, what sources are you using to determine this chain? I may be able to help you with some of the sources I have. *Exeunt* Ganymead | Dialogue? 02:46, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Boswell says that Johnson's school opened in 1736 and remained so for about a year and a half. Garrick must have been about nineteen at the time, if the birth year is correct.Bilinear 01:59, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Some articles take on a definite Euro/western slant that is unconscious. Is that influence with a particular culture or nationality? It cannot be assumed that if someone is from a particular country that the absence of qualifying just what field of whatever has been influenced and needs to be qualified otherwise it is a general statement that can be considered ethnocentric and offensive to that field of other cultures/society.76.170.88.72 (talk) 13:53, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Does anybody have other sources referring to this, in order to add a section on this topic without being "mono-referential"?
Thank you.
