Talk:Jeff Smith (chef)

message: He got a cute boy assistant on the show and started talking a lot about him and then he went travelling with him and had travel photos and it seemed a bit of an odd man on boy tangent for a food show and then it went off the air.  This can be based entirely on scripts or videos or reviews of the basic show content.  Enough was in the public eye to leave a lasting dark mark.  There should be some way of saying this based on just the facts that were in the open since the whole problem was too much visibility and focus on that. -- M0llusk 03:36, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  rough outline of facts 

message: Before the multi-billion dollar empires of Martha, Emeril, et al, Jeff Smith was a seminal voice of the foodie revolution, always finding new ways to tempt Americans to explore new foods, drinks, and cooking techniques.  I know it's tempting to get hung up on a scandal, but the guy meant a lot more to our culture-at-large then one would suspect from the length and content of this article.  Why mention it?  Because this article is a good example of why I think Wikipedia will forever be a quixotic quest...nonetheless, I admire your passion, and I wish you luck.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.179.29.55 (talk) 21:21, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't follow your reasoning. It's a quixotic quest because it mentions the scandal? That's not how I see it. To my mind, the thankless but attainable task is balancing all aspects of his cultural significance, including the scandal. I don't see how censoring the article improves it. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 23:49, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The scandal should definitely not be censored, and as of writing this comment it's not, but weird scandal aside that was a damn good show, and the food looked damn good too... He was definitely quite knowledgeable about not just cooking, but the history and culture of food, and this is what made his show popular and memorable. The article really should make some more mention of what he cooked on the show, and maybe what kind of thought he put into the recipe books...Spettro9 (talk) 16:13, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

text: Generally speaking, articles about authors have at least a partial bibliography. It does seem a little biased towards the scandal rather than the body of his life.--Prosfilaes (talk) 02:26, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  General Note to Wikipedia Writers 

message: I just "fixed" a long dead citation link but in doing so I used the same page used for citation [4], which does support the statement but in doing so it created a duplicate source. I'm not that great at editing citations obviously so perhaps someone better at that can fix it so there's only one source for both citations? In the meantime at least now citation [1] supports the facts stated and is better than a dead link IMO. SentientParadox (talk) 01:48, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

message: I've changed the translation section a bit, hopefully for the better. I've added a bit of structure by making the section into a table and added bookcovers from the foreign versions.

Identification is covered. Illustrating different characters and events - and how the titles are translated - they are part of the critical commentary on The Coulor of Magic which the article is. Eldestone 10:58, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, ignore the edit summary I put on my revert since you clearly have read the fair use guidelines, however I disagree that these are "critical commentary" - the titles are listed and it's not necessary for an image to appear to show them - they are decorative as the article currently stands, nothing more.

thread_title:  River Dove 

message: A figure is given in the infobox for the length of the Dove (72km / 45 miles) but no source is given for that figure. Due to this uncertainty I have, as with some other watercourses where dubious lengths have been asserted, painstakingly measured its length on online 1:25,000 scale OS mapping using a digital tool and determined it at 93.1km / 57.9 miles - I'd be confident of the accuracy of the figure to within less than 1%. The current figure then appears to be significantly inaccurate. All of this is of course original research on my part so cannot be included in the article but it does at least give an idea of what a true figure should look like if and when an editor finds a suitable reference out there! cheers Geopersona (talk) 11:43, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

"After the 1971 war, Lt Col B P Airy, then the Commanding Officer of 3 Grenadiers beat back seven counter attacks by the Pakistani Army. The seventh and the last attack was launched by the Commanding Officer of the Pakistani unit, who fought like a tiger. Col Airy, who later retired as Lt General in the Army saw the gallantry of his Pakistani adversary."
Can someone cite the name of the Army officer?Feel free to add this here or message me on my user page.

message: I have moved a contribution by user:125.237.25.76, from the article to here at the talk page, because it is uncited and questionably of value since it is of long tail significance
* Sheets of Penny Blacks and Two Penny Blues from 1840 still have the long s in them as they say on the margins - "Labels must be affixed above the addrefs"
* Numerous political and satirical cartoons of the 1830s and even 1840s have long s in them.
* Framed prints of Queen Victoria's coronation in 1838 also still have long s in the words Duchefs and Highnefs, usually in Copperplate
* I have a envelope from 1905 that still has a long s on it. It was written by a 98 year old woman.
