thread_title:  Violates NPOV 

message: This article without citation gives his birth year as 1952 but, according to newspaper report in tonight's Shropshire Star (Saturday 21 March 2015), in which his father, Ernie Holton (still alive aged 90) was interviewed this is disputed, according to this paragraph:
:Gary, who was born on September 22, 1953 - Ernie says the papers all wrongly gave his age as 33 when he died, when was in fact 32 - was first in a rock band as a schoolboy at Beaufoy School, Lambeth.
This is worth investigating.  I am aware of the showbiz practice of ages being shaved or advanced for promotional purposes by agents.Cloptonson (talk) 19:51, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Birthdate disputable

message: I've taken the liberty of modifying Gary's DOB from 1952 to 1953, per this article about his father, who specifically mentions that "the papers got it wrong" when they mentioned his age at death as 33, in fact it was 32. Presumably his father would be a good reference point for that.

Talk:Gaston B. Cashwell

message: Findagrave and newspapers.com give the date 4 March 1916 for the death of a Rev G.B. Cashwell buried in Greenwood cemetery, Dunn, N.C. However, Findagrave gives his middle name as Beauregard rather than Barnabas, and the news report states that he was a member of a Baptist church. 
The age stated in the news report, 57, does not correspond to the birth date on the grave, 5 April 1862.
These details & sources have been removed from the article as they appear to refer to a different person.

Talk:Gaston Lachaise

message: The current version of the page gives Isabel's death at 1957 (in the "Works" section) but says that she established the foundation in 1963 (in the "Foundation" section).

thread_title:  Isabel's Dates and Foundation 

message: Looking back from the 2020's at Lachaise's sculptures of 'The Woman', you might say that he was an early proponent of 'Plus-Size Glamour models', or Body Positivity as some of these models, and feminists and ordinary women, like to call it. Admittedly, his 'women' are somewhat exagerated in their contours, but if you look at the essence of what he was trying to convey and not at the first impression they make, one can very well interpret them in this way.

Talk:Gavriil Adrianovich Tikhov

message: Alma-Ata Observatory was previously linked to the Tien Shan Astronomical Observatory, but that observatory was not established until 1957, three years before Tikhov's death. There was not an extant observatory at the time that Tikhov arrived in Alma-Ata, he was on a detatched expedition from the Pulkovo Observatory to observe the September solar eclipse, and it was decided that the expedition should remain there given the Axis invasion two months earlier was now threatening to push towards the Soviet interior. Tikhov then helped to establish the Observatory "Kamenskoe plateau" over the following years, and remained here for the rest of his life. Neither of the cited sources supports "After undertaking an expedition to Alma-Ata Observatory (210) to observe a solar eclipse" - i.e. that he came to a named observatory, so I've edited the article to reflect this.

message: This description of him is the opinion of one of his students (not an unbiased observer) and perhaps a couple other people.  I don't think it's true and should be deleted.  As a physicist and amateur science historian, I can list many physicists more notable (Einstein, Dirac, Bohr, Heisenberg, Oppenheimer, Fermi, Curie, J. J. Thomson, Planck, Chadwick, Feynmann, Weinberg for example, and scads of equals.  And in chemistry and other scientific fields there are more eminent ones, and many many equals.  Being in the top 100 is not "one of the most notable".  I'm going to wait a week for comments, then delete or change to "a notable". Dr.gregory.retzlaff (talk) 22:22, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

In October 1939, SS-Regiment Der Führer became a component of 2nd SS Division Das Reich. 
This is not accurate. SS Das Reich was only founded in the Summer of 1940. SS Standarte Der Führer became part of the SS V-Division, together with the Standarten SS Deutschland and SS Germania. Only after the Westfeldzug was the Standarte DF the root of the newly raised SS Das Reich division. I have altered the text accordingly. Grebbegoos (talk) 14:47, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

I think a rewrite of the attraction element is in order. Many of the sites here will be short lived and although I think the first draught is very concise, It may be more beneficial if, instead of directions around the precinct, a proper page of fact was made about the attractions. I like how detailed the page currently is, I just think something less speakeasy would better represent the place. Any thoughts? Scott Lyon 22:13, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, a rewrite is needed. It certainly does need a better structure; Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a collection of essays (hope I'm not upsetting anyone here!). Perhaps sections for architecture/built environment, education, transport maybe, demographics definitely, politics (which wards, constituencies, parties?), maybe others. And references for various assertions (such as being a "hub", the gentrification, a "more settled demographic" etc.) are needed. Those I think are the main things. Other things like geographic coordinates and 2-3 representative photos would be nice.--81.156.165.195 18:52, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

message: In his minor work "After Strange Gods" (1933), Eliot deprecates the presence of "free-thinking Jews," who are said to be "undesirable" in large numbers, for 'reasons of race and religion.'.
