Talk:Harry Price

message: The William Hope to which the link pointed seems unlikey to be the same man as the one mentioned here. That Hope is notable for having received the Victoria Cross, and his article doesn't mention any paranormal photography. There appear to be several notable William Hopes. I'm pointing the link to a nonexistent page in the hope that someone who knows something about this man can write an article about him. -- CKA3KA (Skazka) 00:01, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Brocken Experiment 

message: In section 'Early life' Price is stated to have founded the Carlton Dramatic Society at age 15 (ie in 1896/97). However the wikipedia article on the Society (now Carlton Theatre Group) states it was founded, with Price a founder member, in 1927 when he was in his mid 40s. Needs checking out although there is a citation used in support of the statement in this article.Cloptonson (talk) 20:34, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Price and the Carlton Dramatic Society

message: Conan Doyle is stated to have 'predicted' Harry Price would suffer 'the same fate as Houdini' if Price persisted in writing against spiritualism. I question this on chronological grounds and suggest some checking, as 1922 is given as the year Price began accusing Wiliam Hope the 'spirit photographer' of fraud but Houdini died not die until October 1926. Can someone put a date on when Doyle wrote the imprecatory comment about Price?Cloptonson (talk) 09:35, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Talk:John Middleton (giant)

message: Dr. Plott mentions that Middleton had hands so huge, they measured 17 inches from Carpus to middle-finger, and his palms were 8 1/2 inches wide. It is further said that Middleton, known as the "Childe of Hale", was measured by his Lord, Sir Gilbert Ireland, where he was reputedly 9 feet 3 inches. Though his height may have been exaggerated--as also his hands may have been.
It is recorded that in 1768, a Parish Clerk, Mr. Bushell, exhumed the bones of Middleton in the Hale Churchyard. His thigh bones were so big, it is recorded that one femur measured from the ankles to the hip of an "average" man. Even allowing for conservative measure, this was certainly over 30 inches--Which would seem to indicate that Middleton was indeed over 9 feet tall.
Yet the Guinness Books say he was closer to 7 feet 9. Whatever the case, he was probably around 8 or 9 feet for sure.
Sigh... in wikipedia people will use their own beliefs to try to fix something that is an inference and cannot be proven, figures. "Probably this, probably that", this site has too much opinions in the articles.
Regardless, I think that we should change "...which was very inaccurate. If this measure is accurate, he would have been taller than Robert Wadlow. Middleton's true height was 7 feet 9 inches."  To something like, "His height has not been verified, and some speculate that his actual height was closer to 7 feet 9 inches."  However, "some speculate" is pretty lame...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.122.55.53 (talk) 02:31, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:The Flys (American band)

message: There was another band known as The Flys -- a late-1970s/early 1980s British power pop outfit.  They released an EP called the "Bunch of Five" EP on their own independent Zama label (now very rare) and were subsequently signed to EMI, for whom they put out two albums, "Waikiki Beach Refugees" and "Own."  They were fronted by Neil O'Connor and David Freeman -- O'Connor's sister Hazel had commercial success of her own, while Freeman (after forming the short-lived 80s band The Lover Speaks) later launched a solo career.
I am adding Adam's younger brother Joshua to band line-up, don't know why he was omitted. 195.7.34.195 13:45, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:State Bank of Pakistan

message: Removed the "Products" section in the infobox as it did not seem appropriate to state that Pakistan's CentBank had any products. The product listing that it contained was more typical of a normal bank. In fact, the State Bank of Pakistan has been having issues with people using its logo in fraud to steal identities.
Hence, I felt it would be prudent to remove that section.

Talk:Ahmed Dlimi

message: Not that it's important, but I'm not sure about removing Dlimi from the Category:Moroccan politicians. Okay, he wasn't a politician per se, but no-one who ran Morocco in those days was. Shouldn't it be intepreted a little more liberally, as people who have been politically active in Morocco? Something like "political figures" of Morocco. Arre 00:12, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, yes, but the line was kind of blurred in Morocco in the 1960s-90s. A few military or security personalities had a tremendous influence on politics, much more so than most of the "real" politicians: Dlimi, Oufkir, Basri etc. And the real politicians were frequently not officially recognized as politicians either, but rather as law-breakers... Should Ben Barka go into the category of "Moroccan fugitives from the law" instead? ;-) Ah, well. The more I think about it, the more I think you're right... Arre 09:03, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Definitively should be classed as a politican. He was Hassan II second-hand man.

thread_title:  service sub-machine gun 

message: To Sus Scrofa, I would like to avoid an edit war, so I will provide a reason for why I believe the movies and games should be removed in the article. 
It was decided that in order for a fictional appearance to be noteworthy, and included in an article, it must be well known, at least mention the name of in this case the firearm, and it must make an impact on the firearm. Such as, the F-14 Tomcat became very popular after the movie Top Gun was released. This would be a notable appearance. Or, the Walther PPK which became very famous due to James Bond's usage of the PPK. For more details, see Talk:Walther P 38, Removal of Fictional Appearances. LWF 22:05, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think an exception can be made in this case since it's such a rare gun that nonetheless appears in many games and films. I don't see a need to list every apperance of the JaTiMatic (that part is fine as it is), but I believe it's notable that a weapon that was manufactured in such small numbers retains such a high profile in popular media. However, if you want to remove it again, go ahead, it's not that important for me really. --Sus scrofa 00:17, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that since the average person can't identify it from its appearances that I'll remove it. The media probably chooses it for its looks anyway.--LWF 00:32, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
