Talk:Trevor Bardette

message: I am still seeking concrete documentation; however, in case anyone is more adept than I, Bardette was a family friend. Trevor Bardette was married to an actress born Dorothy Chandler, who attended the Virginia Female Normal School in Fredericksburg, Virginia, around 1921, although she did not stay to graduate. She was my grandmother's roommate. I have photos of both Trevor and Dorothy Bardette. I am uncertain of Mrs. Bardette's professional name. Jill Sellers Ebeling (talk) 06:54, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I'd say that to a Norwegian person Bratteli sounds perfectly native. Bratt means steep and li means hillside. Historically such surnames come from the time when the name of the farm was used as surname. The conjoining e is an interfix. __meco (talk) 22:22, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Infobox 

message: First, let me say that I am currently interested in Yule only in so far that he is deemed to be significant for his 1927 analysis of the sun-spot cycle.
Specifically:
"This was perhaps the first time that a model with internal degrees of freedom (what we would now call a linear autoregressive model) was inferred from measurements of an external observable (the sunspot series)." Gerschenfeld 1999, p.204
I have come here from the Wikipedia article on time series which I am trying to reorganize.
I note that there are two main sections to the biography of Yule with significant overlap in detail. I propose to make some suggestions here as to how to reorganize according to the WikiProject Biography.

Talk:Uffa Fox

message: Everyone thinks he was a terrific character for taking sea scouts across the channel without their parents's permission (or passports) and other poieces of lovable eccentricity which make up jolly stories, especially as he was a chum of Royalty. Apparently he used to get into fights and beat men senseless when he wanted to have their wives. My mother told me he trained his dog to sniff up women's skirts. He tried it on with my mother too, but she would have beat him up if he had not backed off.

Talk:American Pie (Madonna version)

message: Why exactly does this version get its own article?  As song articles are about songs, why is Madonna's version handled differently than every other cover version in Wikipedia, which are all combined?  I see very little discussion about this on the main Talk:American Pie page (or its Archive), other than someone mentioning that American Pie is "too long", which clearly is not the case.  There didn't see to be a consensus about separating them so I'd like to open up the discussion again.... in my opinion it looks as if a small handful Madonna fans wanted her version on its own page, which quite frankly is not a good enough reason for it to be separate. - eo (talk) 03:18, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Jack Durrance

message: Giving responsibility to the 1939 expedition leader is a severe POV. The leader was the ex german Fritz Wiessner who was blamed after the expedition by an AAC committee which did its "job" under the circumstances of the arising world war II. The report was full of POV against an ex german climber who had become an honest member of the american society and a sucessfull businessman.
1978 Wiessner was fullily rehabilitated by the AAC and got Standing Ovations on the AAC Anniversary Meeting in December. The only climber who did not stand up applauding was Jack Durrance. You can read this in Clint Wills in High: Stories of Survival from Mount Everest and K2. If you read this book very exactly you may imagine who eventually put decisions to destroy the high camps. Destroy, which then urged the topgoing climbers who were NOT dead (against assumption) to a horrible trip down which may nearly may have had cost them their life. Reasons? Ambition? Intention? A possible interpretation: whatever may have happened on top of the mountain, the destroyers may partly have thought "dead", or may partly have wished "dead.." To avoid a potential success of "the wrong" person?
David Roberts made an interview with Jack Durrance, but Durrance shortly after draw back his permission to publish the interview. Why? Hm? Think. 77.11.229.66 22:05, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

It is true that he broke the relations with Tito, but not over the forced "Maecdonization"- he considered himself Macedonian at that time, he had arguments with Tito on different issues, he opposed the party policies, he considered their methods too harsh for the people.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.28.4.200 (talk) 23:38, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Vera de Bosset

message: Corrected misinformation about Vera de Bosset's marriage to Igor Stravinsky.  They were not married in New York, but rather Bedford, Massachusetts.  Stravinsky was giving the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures at Harvard University in nearby Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Yankeecook (talk) 14:06, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

message: This addition is truly misleading.  Vera de Bosset was never truly a professional ballet dancer; and it would be interesting to discover whether she ever "danced" in America, although after 1945 she was a naturalized citizen of the US.  (She had previously held a French passport and was of Russian birth.)  She was, of course, the second wife of Igor Stravinsky.  During her years in Los Angeles, she had several exhibitions of her paintings ... though she does not seem to be a "recognized painter" in her own right.  Suggest this description be removed (which I will do in a couple of days if there's no convincing support for it).

Talk:Tupolev ANT-25

message: The article states that once the Ant 25 landed in San Jacinto, still had enough fuel to reach Panama and set this distance in about 1500 km, when the real distance between San Jacinto and Panama City is about 4,713 km.
This supports my contention - see "Authenticity" below - that the article needs some editing to report the claims more circumspectly - using words such as "claimed record" "alleged non-stop flight" etc.  It seems to me that the US authorities at the time were willing to buy in to the claims - because of the need to keep in with Stalin perhaps, and then later, parks authorities went and put up plaques etc. - so there may have been some red faces at suggestions that the records were rigged.  Well, the planes and crews turned up in the USA somehow or other, but the details of their journeys there may well have been massaged. This is purely speculation on my part of course, and because Wiki likes things cited, we need somebody to do a bit of digging to find published commentary that is a bit more skeptical than the present Article, but not crazy "flat earth" stuff either.  Any volunteers?  I'm working mainly on other stuff at present.

Personally, "Heretical" looks a bit - well putting it politely, obsessive! - But on the other hand, the reported fates of the crews, under Stalin's dictatorship, also is not exactly reassuring.
