Talk:Working for Families

message: Is whoever put the NPOV tag in going to say what they thought was NPOV about the article?
I'm going to be bold and delete the reference to the "making work for families" as it's unsourced and doesn't make a lot of sense. If anyone wants to make a case for its retention, they're welcome to. --Tirana 01:46, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I do not support NPOV tag. The programme has received critiscm from both sides of the political spectrum. This is represented in the article. Also, the programme, despite being a flagship of the labour government and costing a lot to redistribute societies wealth, it does not address some sections of society. That is well accepted.

thread_title:  NPOV tag 

message: This article ash undergone considerable glossing which takes out criticism. instead, it places more emphasis on details of the package, but neglects to contrast this with a wider context for social welfare in NZ. This is supposed to be an encyclopedia article, not a profile of recent reforms—Fred114 06:56, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is still some criticism listed in the article, and I've updated it for more recent criticisms.  There is supposedly an evaluation of the reform to be done, which could be added to the article. Also updated this article similar to the Working tax credit article including more information on what it does.  Some statements on its effect need references added, plus a discussion on its role in NZ social welfare history would be useful--wikicharlie23 10:37, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York

message: While the main text lists Edmund of Langley as being a son of Edward III the column giving family information lists Edmund of Langley as being the grandfather of Henry IV.  Henry the IV's father was John Gaunt whose own father was Edward III.  Henry's grandfather was Edward III and Edmund was his uncle.  I would remove the entry but I have no idea how to edit that column.

thread_title:  Copyleft problems 

message: In the archives of the company, Vol II, p 495, 2d paragraph mentions that the Royal Council for Virginia has seized the company's papers. https://archive.org/stream/recordsofvirgini02virg#page/n519/mode/2up. The date of this mention being novembre 19, 1623, the chronology ("and in 1624 he learned that the government were contemplating a seizure of the papers of the Virginia Company") is not accurate
 Sébastien bauer (talk) 21:30, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I have tried to investigate the chronology. The Virginia Company was dissolved by King James I in May 1624, the wikipedia article does not mention the planned seizure and the copying. 1624 was also the last year of life of the Earl of Southampton who died in November 1624, whose wikipedia article likewise does not mention this activity.Cloptonson (talk) 09:05, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Takuan

message: User Badagnani keeps adding the category Korean cuisine to this article. Categorizing Takuan as a Korean cuisine just because it is being consumed in Korea is as ridiculous as categorizing Pizza as a cuisine of the. U.S., Japan, and every other country where it is being consumed. The world isn't revolving around Korea. --Saintjust 03:09, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think "Korean cuisine" is legitimate here because it (known as dan-mu-ji, 단무지) has been incorporated into Korean cuisine (and not just simply consumed in Korea), whereas pizza is still considered foreign food. I think pizza and spaghetti can also be considered part of American cuisine. It seems restrictive to strictly limit foods to the country of origin. According to this Pasta#History, Arabs introduced pasta to Italy. If true, how should pastas be categorized? Wine may have originated in Georgia and Iran (Wine#History). I'm sure a little research would reveal many other counter-intuitive examples.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.76.15.114 (talk) 18:10, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Eduard Deisenhofer

message: Although Eduard Deisenhofer had been selected by the SS-Fuehrungshauptamt (SS-FHA) as a replacement for Herbert Gille as commander of the Wiking Division (which was being led by acting commander Johannes Muehlenkamp) to take place in the first week of August, when Deisenhofer flew to the Modlin area for an office call (or interview) with Gille, Gille rejected him and decided to keep Muehlenkamp instead. As a Corps Commander, Gille's final acceptance of his replacement was essential and more than a mere courtesy; the fact that Gille chose Muehlenkamp instead speaks loudly in favor of the latter as a more promising and experienced officer more suited to command a Panzer Division.  Source: Interview with the late SS Lieutenant Guenther Lange, former Aide-de-Camp of Gille, who was present during the interview and was a witness to his decision to reject Deisenhofer.

These are the sections and content I suggest adding: 
(please suggest any changes or additions to list)
*Description/Explanation (Is there a better word?)
**Go through figures and what they represent (Main bulk of addition)
**Changes during the Paris Commune (1971) - Removal of masonic symbolism
*Reception
**(Public Reaction)
**Quillenbois' Caricature
**A video artist recently displayed an reactionary installation next to this painting for a while. I cant remember his name. He (usually) records the eyes and mouth separately and digitally stitches the videos together and projects it onto an object. If you know his name, please add it to the talk.

Talk:Essex Junto

message: The facts may need to be checked. Alexander Hamilton did not support Essex Junto's plan for secession.
-These people wanted to take N.E. out of the country and make it a providence of Canada.  They approached Aaron Burr to run for governor and to then remove N.E. from the United States.  It failed and this is what lead to the duel between Burr and Alexander Hamilton.

thread_title: Facts to be checked

message: I changed the section about Aaron Burr, as he never supported the Essex Junto and turned them down.  The page incorrectly stated that Burr participated and Hamilton foiled the plan.  I checked the sources at the bottom of this page and they do not implicate Burr.  Nancy Isenberg specifically refutes this claim with quotes in her book Fallen Founder.  I thought it best to change this wild accusation against Burr. LeeTripleJ (talk) 21:02, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Eduardo Chibás

message: One should note that Eduardo Chibas was not quite the knight in shining armor some make him out to be, matter of fact in demagoguery he had few equals. For instance he started a fist fight in the Cuban senate, accusing his opponent of corruption, he provoked and then engaged in numerous duels to "first blood" in which he usually fared badly.  His suicide that he staged as public spectacle can be readily attributed to the embarrassment caused by the failure of his charges against an honest public official.  All this is  readily verifiable by a perusal of the US papers of the time. El Jigue208.65.188.149 15:50, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

In an interview with WNYC, conducted on 09/11/2009 on the occasion of the release of his book, he is very clear of his conviction that the US government and / or military is not behind the attacks.

Talk:John Foster (MP for Northwich)

message: Comparing the ODNB, Who's Who, and Foster's father's entry in the Australian Dictionary of Biography points up something quite interesting -
* ODNB - Foster, Sir John Galway (1903–1982), lawyer, was born in Paris on 21 February 1903, the only child (he also had a half-brother and two half-sisters) of Brigadier-General Hubert John Foster, Royal Engineers, military attaché at the British embassy in Washington, and a woman whose surname was Galway, an Irish Canadian. No birth certificate can be found.
: [The original 1990 version of the article in the DNB is vaguer - Foster, Sir John Galway(1903/4–1982), lawyer, was the only child (he also had a half brother and two half sisters) of Lieutenant-Colonel Hubert John Foster, Royal Engineers, military attaché at the British embassy in Washington, and a lady whose surname was Galway, an Irish Canadian.]
* Who's Who - Foster, Sir John (Galway) - KBE 1964 - Born 4 Nov. 1904; s of late General Hubert John Foster; died 1 Feb. 1982
* ADB - He married Mary Agatha Gough, née Tobin, at the British consulate, Venice, Italy, on 16 January 1904. [...] He was survived by his wife and their son, (Sir) John Galway Foster, who later became a member of the British House of Commons.
My reading of these is that the chain of events went something like -
# JG Foster is born in Paris to Colonel Foster and Ms. Galway, February 1903
# Colonel Foster and Ms Gough marry in January 1904
# JG Foster, in later life, presents himself as born November 1904, a safe nine or ten months after his parents marriage.
# This is not completely unknown - whoever wrote the 1990 DNB article was aware of it - but pretty much everyone quotes the 1904 date
I am pretty confident the ODNB is accurate - it's the most recent source (revised 2004) and is the one I would tend to prefer over the others. I've updated the article accordingly. Andrew Gray (talk) 10:54, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

message: President Monroe and Vice President Tomkins refused to take the oath of office and instead took the oath on the fifth. Thus, it may have been possible that Gaillard was president during the gap of March 4-5, 1821.Ericl 18:27, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Gaillard was NOT President during that time. James Monroe had been President since March 4, 1817. There is no reason to suggest Gaillard should have assumed Presidential duties and it would not be possible to say he was President. Did Gaillard take the oath? No, of course not, because Monroe was President. Monroe started his second term at noon on March 4, 1821 regardless of when he took the oath. Jjmillerhistorian 22:04, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
