Talk:Bernard Gordon (soldier)

message: His medal is to be auctioned according to ABC news story. Note our record of the citation and the ABC news text do not match.  ABC states Doug Formby of the RSL says Lance Corporal Gordon seized a machine gun post and an entire trench, capturing 40 enemy soldiers, all on his own. "He then single-handedly went to the next set of trenches and he captured a further 22 prisoners and three machine guns," he said. --Golden Wattle  talk 19:37, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Medal 

message: John Laffin on page 6 of Forever Forward, the 2/31st Battalion history, seems to indicate that Bernard Gordon was related to James Heather Gordon, another VC recipient. He only infers this, however, so I am not certain of this. The exact quote is: "...[Mrs Gordon] had a link with the 2/31st Battalion, being the aunt of Jim Gordon, VC. She was...the widow of Bernard Gordon, VC, MM, of the 41st Battalion, first AIF." Can anyone confirm, or deny? — AustralianRupert (talk) 11:20, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Jørgen Jensen (soldier)

message: A local news story from his home town states that Jensen is one of only 14 men born outside of Commonwealth countries and one of only three Danes to be awarded the Victoria Cross. I'm treating this as an exceptional claim, as the List of Victoria Cross recipients by nationality indicates there are at least that number of non-Commonwealth VCs (and lists 58 with uncertain nationality), and it also lists three Danes (but not Jensen as a Dane, which would make it four).
* 
** Maybe Jensen was ‘one of only 14 men born outside’ the Commonwealth if the statement was qualified ‘except for Nepal’. I have seen similar statements, most of which forget that the 13 Gurkha recipients, most if not all were born in Nepal which has never been a Commonwealth country. All 96 members or former members of the Australian forces were British subjects when awarded the Victoria Cross with 95 British subjects by birth and Jensen by naturalisation.

message: "The Victorian Department of Premier and Cabinet has advised that a State Funeral for Mr Edward (Ted) Kenna VC will be held at 11am on Thursday 16 July 2009 at St Patrick’s Cathedral, East Melbourne.

"As a mark of mourning and respect and in accordance with protocol, the Australian National Flag should be flown at half-mast all day on Thursday 16 July 2009 from all Australian Government offices and establishments. Other flag stations are also welcome to half-mast their flags."

Talk:Babylon Revisited

message: To agree with the first comment, there is little written in the plot summary section and what is written does not provide a clear representation of the story. A concise synopsis of the beginning, middle, and end should be researched and provided.  
Perhaps an important topic to write about would be the context of the period that this story was written - 1935. Research on the modernist fiction post WWI would be beneficial in helping this article move out of the stub category.  
While both links to the sources were retrievable, the first source could be deemed slightly unreliable. It is not a peer reviewed article, but rather a webpage article on telegraph.co.uk with no author cited. 
The source for the information on Fitzgerald's own life in connection to the story seemed to be a reliable source. Perhaps another source could be used and cited just to ensure the information provided is correct.
In order to ensure that this wiki article is reliable, there should be more research done on peer reviewed articles and books and they should be cited properly. 
A section of themes may also be important to add to this article. Finding common areas of topic or concern in this story can be found by reading multiple peer reviewed books, articles, critiques, etc. Discussion themes may help to provide wiki readers with a deeper understanding of Fitzgerald's short story.

thread_title: Leave this as a disambiguation page

message: Since this isn't yet discussed in an article, it doesn't belong on the disambiguation page, but people looking for the name of the 1989 hit pop/dance song by Seduction may want to know that it is called "Two To Make It Right". Its chorus contains the same "It takes two to make a thing go right, it takes two to make it outta sight" Lyn Collins lyrics as were sampled in the Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock song, but sung by a vocalist in the band. Seduction's song went to #2 in the US pop chart, and #1 on the dance chart. If it does get its own article, we can add a link to it then.—mjb 08:18, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

:Croagh Patrick-An Ancient Mountain Pilgrimage is a book detailing every aspect of the mountain. Written by Mr. Harry Hughes, it is available in any of the local bookshops in Westport or in Teach Na Miasa at the foot of the mountain. Also, a new photographic book was published last year. Edited by Mr. Harry Hughes, it shows many visual aspects of the mountain and a variety of images to do with the mountain. This book was launched to coincide with the centenary of the building of the church on the summit and came about after two photographic competitions were held locally.

Talk:Twistringen

message: The processing of straw was also an omportant part of West of Ireland culture, as well as something of a community activity. A song exists in Connemara and other Gaeltacht areas called Casadh an tSúgán(The Twisting of The Rope). An unwanted suitor arrives at the home of his admiree and is put to twiting the straw into a rope. He keeps going backwards as the rope grows longer, until he is outside the door of the house; thereupon the door is smartly shut in his face.
