Talk:K bullet

message: The image description currently says "Note the tool-steel core protruding from the rear of the bullet to form a boat tail." - I don't believe that. For one thing the colour and the surface looks very much like lead and not like steel at all, but mostly because the diameter is too large: The tombak sleeve will engage the rifling of the gun, and you certainly wouldn't want any hard steel at the same diameter, scraping away your lands.
What we need is a cut drawing of the bullet, showing it's construction, where the steel core is actually located, and how large it is.

Talk:Bernard O'Donoghue

message: I spotted some significant errors on the Career section of this page to do with dates, when O'Donoghue became an emeritus fellow of Wadham,and so on. So I consulted the man himself, as we have mutual acquaintances in common, and he straightened out these points - now edited in.
In addition, he asked me to delete three things. The first was the fourth paragraph in Works, which no longer applied. The second was the Chatto Greek Lexicon 1999 in Bibliography/Other, which was never published. The third was the statement that he has been referred to as "the nicest man in Oxford", which he said was "neither true nor sensible." I have deleted the first two of these, but for the moment I have left the third, because it is derived from one of our better sources (currently no 3 - Irish Times).
However, on reflection I am inclined to agree with O'Donoghue that this statement is inappropriate, and just plain silly. So I propose to delete it in a week's time unless anybody objects. Brymor (talk) 20:52, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: Career issues

message: The current "Works" section is woefully inadequate. O'Donoghue is a poet, and most people who access his Wikipedia page will want to read about his poetry - what is it about? what do people think of it? why is it significant? They won't get that here. The first item is a translation, then there is a list of publications that duplicates (part of) the Bibliography, and it ends with one brief (but interesting) comment about Anglo-Saxon elegies. That's it. 
I suggest there should be two sections: "Poetry", and "Other works". And it's the Poetry section that needs beefing up. Brymor (talk) 20:27, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: "Poetry", and "Other works" sections now beefed up. Almost all of this comes from the existing citations, particularly the four interviews with O'Donoghue. Brymor (talk) 19:34, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Bernard Matthews

message: Would anyone object if this article was moved from Bernard Matthews (person) to Bernard Matthews, while the article about the company is moved from Bernard Matthews to Bernard Matthews Farms? Surely the man himself is the primary topic and should occupy this title. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:09, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed move

message: The article states [following his National Service] Matthews became an insurance clerk to earn an income, and started his company in 1950, buying more turkeys. He was only able to join the business full-time after spending £3,000 [on a property and turkeys to put into it].  
This is confusing; "joined the business full-time" implies he joined a pre-existing business, which possibly had other staff, before he worked for it full-time (was he working for it part-time, and/or did the £3000 mean he bought into a pre-existing business as a partner?). This however appears not to be the case if he had to buy a property and livestock; what did the business consist of prior to this without a property and livestock? This requires clarification.

thread_title: Father of two...o three children???

message: This is primarily about the content that's been the centre focus of the slow-moving edit war that has been the bulk of the last 50 edits to this page.
For what it is worth, and not making any judgments on the behaviour of the IP editors, I agree with their stance that the content should be removed (although not for the same reasons they do). As it sits, the text in dispute is badly undersourced and reads more like something that you'd see in a National Enquirer piece. If any of it is to remain the sources and prose need to get significantly better, one way or another. Until that happens, the text should probably remain off the live article.
Now, keeping in mind that this article has been essentially the site of a glacial edit war, I'm likely going to take this to RPP if the reverting continues, from any party. This needs to be talked out here, not in edit summaries, and not offsite. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 02:21, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

I don't think it belongs in the brief overview of a person that is the intro section.
Furthermore, it was added 9/29/20 by User:Abp44 whose page includes a sockpuppetry investigation (posted today) and a question about whether this user was associated with Landmarks.  It appears that this user, and possibly also related accounts, made similar edits to several dozen pages.  
Finally, it's unsupported.

Talk:Britrock

message: Have to disagree with this redirect - Britrock was never used as a synonym for Britpop, at least not in the UK. Britrock was, as I recall, a term used principally by Kerrang! magazine (a rock/metal publication) in the mid-late 1990s, possibly as an attempt to pull alongside the Britpop bandwagon, or else as a reaction against it. Britrock seemed to be used as an umbrella term for any British rock bands who happened to be around at the time - examples included The Almighty, Terrorvision, Skin, The Wildhearts, 3 Colours Red, Honeycrack, Feeder and Baby Chaos - but it should be noted that many of these bands had a more commercial sound than traditional metal bands (Iron Maiden et al), and several crossed over into the mainstream, with varying commercial success. Many promising 'Britrock' bands were dropped by impatient record labels and never achieved their potential. I don't yet have any sources to back this up but I'm working on it. Watch this space...  --Jameboy 01:02, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, OK. I just saw the (What's the Story) Morning Glory? article listed "Britrock" as it's only genre, and since Oasis is pretty much the biggest "Britpop" band I assumed it was the same thing and changed the redirect. Never mind.--AmitTheSomthing 18:27, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
