Talk:Gillian McKeith/Archive 3

message: I think one of the opening statements should be revised. The article currently says "Her advice focuses on an alcoholic beverage-free vegan diet of organic fruits and vegetables".
Firstly (fussy but significant punctuation issue) an extra hyphen's needed: "alcoholic-beverage-free vegan diet" - the diet isn't alcoholic and beverage-free, it's alcoholic-beverage-free!
Secondly, her recommended diet isn't vegan - saying "free of dairy products and red meat" is closer to the truth (oily fish and some white meat are sometimes included).
Thirdly - it's true she recommends people eating organic fruits/veg, but the diet isn't a strict organic diet. Rephrasing to say she advocates organic produce where possible (or some such phrase) would be a more accurate description.
What do people think?

replies: text: Excellent points.  The ideal solution would be to include a one-paragraph quote from McKeith, in which she summarises what she thinks is the ideal diet.  I'm sure one of her books or articles must have this. Sideshow Bob Roberts 13:53, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I had rewriten this bit to link to a page by McKeith herself about what she recommends.  As it stands now it is an untrue description of what she advocates (again).

replies: text: Revisiting this: For starters, if we are to keep this article, it should be moved to "List of important jazz albums" or something similar; "list of jazz albums" suggests an indiscriminate list that we don't need (or have the time and resources) to maintain. Second, any item in this list needs an accompanying citation supporting the item's significance (e.g. a Crown or Core Collection designation in The Penguin Guide to Jazz, or perhaps an AMG pick in Allmusic, though I think the latter is overly generous with its accolades). Third, no red links: any album that is sufficiently significant for inclusion in this list deserves its own article, which should be created before we link to it from this list. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 15:25, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Banashankari Amma Temple

message: I can't figure out whether these are simply 2 names for the same structure or if there are, in fact, two separate structures.  Using Google, it seems as if there is conflicting information on where the temple is located: some sources say that it is located 5 km. away from Badami, others state that it is located 50 km. away and/or in Bangalore.  My knowledge of Indian geography is limited, so perhaps there is an easy explanation for this apparent discrepancy.

Dionyseus 21:35, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

text: In your first link it is stated that the Eastern version has not been sighted since 1966, this is quite interesting.  I think what's going on is that first we have C.leuconotus in parts of Texas and New Mexico, in an attempt to survive some members of the species migrated to nearby states Colorado, Arizona, and Oklahoma.  The migrators managed to reproduce very well, but the larger population meant fiercer competition for food and they gradually grew smaller as a result.  The non-migrators perhaps died out, probably due to several factors such as competition and climate changes.  Dionyseus 21:56, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I must apologise for forgetting the source of this snippet, but it seems the U.F.Os that were seen in the U.S. and Europe in the Post War years were also seen by country folks in China. There was no geographical location given by the person who commented on the sightings, but he said folks in rural China back then often saw what they believed to be 'aircraft' flying low over Chinese farming districts. The country folk in China were not alarmed, or even much interested in the strange looking aircraft, they just thought they were 'Russian' planes. It was only decades later when Westerners began visiting outlying districts in China that people remembered seeing the 'planes' . But according to C.I.A. records of early U2 Reconaissance flights over far eastern Russian lands no such aircraft were being used by Russia. C.I.A. records have photographs of MIG Fighter planes parked up on 'secret' runways (this was just before the Soviets discovered U2 flights so they never bothered to hide the MIGs), but no such curious looking aircraft by U2 Pilots. The only description of the U.F.O.s seen in China at the time was that were 'strange looking' . The man never mentioned any U.F.O. landings being mentioned by Chinese folks back then. 
The far north and east of China is a land of vast deserts and plains, folks who lived there very rarely saw any aircraft at all. Maybe some very old seniors have memories of the aircraft or U.F.O.s but most of the people there speak a language not usually known to Westerners.  Johnwrd (talk) 18:01, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

In history O'Neill or the Oi Neil [sp?](I think that O is basically "the grandson of") are kind of a "big deal", and maybe the actual name, the way I had it is actually a rendering in modern form of her name as it would perhaps have been said in her own time ?

She raised concerns about incorrect content in the article and complained about her own edits being reverted.  I have left her a note explaining some of our policies but since this article doesn't really follow best practice for Wikipedia biographies I also want to suggest some drastic editing.
The article currently has little in the way of reliable sources especially ones that demonstrate the importance of assertions.  I suggest stubbing the article so that it only contains information that is reliably sourced and clearly encyclopedic. We can then build it up from there with good sourcing. -- SiobhanHansa 11:35, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stub the article and build up? 

message: Please note the following entry which I received on my talkpage, and which I hope other editors can respect in line with Wikipedia's policy on articles with regards to living persons:
Dear Trident 13
I have recently noticed the editing you have undertaken to the entry in my name.  The entire background entitled 'Family' is factually incorrect on the following grounds:
1.  I do not have three children from my first marriage.
2.  My first wife and I were divorced in 2000 - I did not divorce her.
3.  The £100m divorce settlement is total press speculation and none of the figures in the press are true.  The settlement between me and my ex-wife is a private matter.  We have never commented on its contents and never will.  The figures bandied about in the press are total speculation and therefore this reference is wholly inaccurate.
4.  The amount raised from my Redrow share sale in 2000 was substantially below the £198m quoted.
5.  I had been living in Jersey since 1996.
6.  I have been living in Cheshire since 2005 - four years before my 'greater involvement with Redrow.'
In view of the above inaccuracies I have removed the family section.  If you must refer to family at all please adopt the previous accurate wording, which reflects the true circumstances. (I have already made this edit and trust you will respect it).
