Talk:Octavia Spencer

message: This article says she read the part of Aibileen. The article, The Help says she read the part of Minny. Which is correct? (Both say she is to play Minny in the film, which seems to lend credence to that role having been what she read.) LadyofShalott 21:07, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Voice role in ''The Help'' audiobook

message: One sister is the morning newsgirl at WRKO radio in Boston.  Erica or Erika (I guess) Spencer.
I say "I guess" b/c she pronounces it e-REE-ka, with the stress on the second syllable.  wassupwiddat?
I thought she was SWEDISH or something until all this came out in the news.  Is this a normal affectation for a black girl from Alabama?!
She also mentioned that most of the siblings had very weird names.  Perhaps as one of only 1 or 2 with a "normal" name, she feels obligated to mispronounce it!!  216.50.220.35 (talk) 09:34, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

message: There have many incorrect media reports of Octavia Spencer's age. On her verified Twitter account, she personally attempted to clear up reports. She states the birthdate is May 25, 1972. https://twitter.com/octaviaspencer/status/161932759319842816Anwar123thegreat (talk) 06:03, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Spencer graduated high school in 1988, a fact that seems uncontested. Is there any evidence that she skipped two grades? Available public records (i.e. www.peoplefinders.com) list Ocatvia Lenora Spencer as 41 (which is what her hometown newspaper gave as her age in August 2011). I would say there is significant evidence - in fact, conclusive evidence - that she is 41, and so both dates should stay in the article. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 18:49, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  As she states on her own twitter, that her birthday is May 25 1972. Then we should go with that, not some articles and records that are written by people who could get their information wrong. The actress however will certainly know her own birthday, so I believe we should go with that. Charlr6 (talk) 22:52, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Octavian Bellu

message: "He retired from this position after a notorious incident in which several gymnasts were photographed by Romanian tabloid journalists as they were sneaking out from training camp to nightclubs".
Seems copy/pasted from an article on examiner.com (blacklisted by wikipedia so I can't add the link, but you can google any phrase below to find it)
"Belu and Bitang, architects of the teams that won team gold in 2000 and 2004, left their positions in 2005 amid scandals regarding the 2004 team sneaking out of training to go to nightclubs, among other things. The duo are celebrated for producing champions, but have also been accused of abusive practices by several former gymnasts, including 2001 Goodwill Games champion Sabina Cojocar, 1996 Olympic team member Alexandra Marinescu and Oana Petrovischi, who alleged that Belu and Bitang made her give them a portion of the prize money she won in competitions."
Frankly I think this deserves some double-checking and the source looks dubious.

Talk:Odd Arne Westad

message: Mr. Westad's Wikipedia entry was clearly written by himself. He is one of those people who self-promote themselves, and step on the toes of many people around them to get ahead professionally. Mr. Westad managed to slip in as co-author, beginning with the 5th edition, of the famous world history book by J. M. Roberts. When we compare recent editions to those of Roberts alone, we observe "additions" or "modifications" which are degradations. In the 6th edition of 2014, Mr Westad's summary at the beginning of Part VIII, devoted to the contemporary world, of Roberts' history is stunningly poor, and would get a D at any college. 83.201.237.129 (talk) 00:39, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Odeen Ishmael

message: This guy... should be called 'the walled-garden of Guyana'. All of his books are self pub from Xlibris. And his writings are all on personal websites. OR a HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS wordpress mirror of a real Guyanese website. Compare real https://guyanatimesgy.com/ and this-- https://www.guyanatimesinternational.com/ 
I'm at a loss how to deal with it. Ishmael writes a lot of history (and they aren't unpleasant reads) BUT he is not an academic historian. This is an obvious RESUME or MEMORIAL that might have been made in good faith by family, but the result is another spammy page about Ishmael. If anything, this guy should just get an award for being the most prodigious, active internet user about Guyana-interests.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Estheim (talk • contribs) 18:40, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Children of the Corn: Revelation

message: Have removed these two claims made by 70.17.189.179 about this film being "generally considered the best of the sequels" because every site I've visited contradicts this:
*"It's not as bad as a few of the previous sequels, but it does still kinda suck." 
*"Children of the Corn 666:  Revelation is a horrible sequel just like most of the other instalments..." 
*"Spooky ghost" take on the Corn series leaves us with a bore job instead of a gore job." 
*"This movie is certainly not the worst in the series." (Still doesn't mean it's the best!) 
If someone can find a reliable source that claims it is the best of the sequels, then by all means add it, but it's not "generally" considered the best of the sequels. Somno (talk) 03:22, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate the amount of work that's gone into expanding the Plot section, but please spell-check what you enter and make sure it makes sense. Also, the Manual of Style for WikiProject Films recommends that plot summaries are 400-700 words long, and the current plot summary for this film is nearly 980 words long, which is completely unnecessary. Please try to keep to these guidelines. It's supposed to be a summary of the plot, not an exact description of every small occurrence in the film. Thanks. Somno (talk) 07:27, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Oleg Khinsagov

message: I've removed the WP:BLP1E PROD as I feel this deserves discussion.
Is there an article (or even a section of an article) on this particular smuggling case?  If so, then this article should not be deleted, but should instead be a redirect to that article or section.  If not, then an article should be considered, with this article moved to a more appropriate title and reworked to center around the event and not the perpetrator.
This smuggling case is gaining additional notability due to a recent WikiLeaks release concerning then FBI Director Robert Mueller's role in delivering a sample of the HEU to Russia for forensic analysis, and the use of those leaks in attempting to discredit Mr. Mueller in his current role as Special Counsel to investigate Russian interference with the 2016 Presidential election and related matters. -- ToE 19:22, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Herbert Hannam

message: The last line of the section on Hannam's career says that he was later promoted to Commander (rather than Chief Superintendent or Deputy Commander which, between 1949 were the Metropolitan Police ranks between Superintendent and Commander), but no source is quoted and I cannot find any rationale for this leap over the intermediate ranks. I did find a record in the London Gazette of a Herbert Henry Hannam being made a Commander (of the British Empire, not the Metropolitan Police), but he was Canadian.
Another source says that, after the Morrell trial, the Metropolitan Police conducted an internal investigation on how Hannam had acted during the police investigation. This inquiry also studied relations between Superintendent Hannam and the press in depth. Its results were never made public, but a year after the investigation Hannam's career in the police ended, and he was later employed in a private security agency. This source does not quote a primary source but, if correct, it seems unlikely that the investigation into the then Superintendent Hannam led to him being promoted Commander and leaving the police, both within the following year.Sscoulsdon (talk) 15:35, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Olga Pall

message: Dear Sir, I would like to give some notes and I would like to cit. the German Wikipedia (but also I know it by myself):
 Olga was born in the Austrian state Lower Austria (Göstling an der Ybbs), but when she was three years old, her family did change to Bischofshofen and a few time late to Solbad Hall in the Tyrol. Her sister Elisabeth (Liesl) was born on February 15th, 1951, at Bischofshofen, and she also was a competitor in the Alpine Skiing World Cup. 
 Her first victory in the World Cup (downhill race at Bad Gastein on January 17th, 1968) was also the first victory in a female downhill race for Austrian Ski Federation.
 She was a joint favourite for the Downhill Race at Chamrousse in the 1968 Olympics but in the opinion of the media representatives, Isabelle Mir was the "odds-on-favourite". Mir did go in lead, Pall was the last racer of the "Top 15"-Racers (bib number 15), and she could overtake "Mademoiselle Mir" with a margin of 0.46 seconds. Finishing 5th in the Giant Slalom and ninth in the Special Slalom she became fifth in the Alpine Combined Event (only a paper-race, counting for the FIS Alpine Skiing World Championships). At the end of the season 1967/68 she became eighth in the Downhill World Cup. She also could achieve the title of an Austrian Downhill Champion. 
 She (and her sister Liesl) became heavy injured due an accident in occasion of the season final events at Heavenly Mountain Resort. Both walked on a sidewalk there on April 4th, 1968, when a minibus did hit them. Injuries were: Olga: ulnar collateral ligament tear of the leg and wound on the head; Liesl: leg fractures.     
 In the season 1968/69, Olga could achieve her only podest place in a World Cup Giant Slalom (2nd on January 3rd at Oberstaufen), and she won the World Cup Downhill Race at St. Anton am Arlberg (January, 31st). Also she could defend her title as an Austrian Downhill Champion. In the season 1969/70 she could only achieve one place in the Top Ten (fifth in the downhill race at Bad Gastein on January 15th). She was 3rd in the Downhill World Cup 1968/69.
 In the Downhill Race on February 12th on the »Cir«-Course in the World Championships 1970 [[[Val Gardena]]) she became 13th with a margin of 4.97 sec. to winner Annerösli Zryd. She announced her retirement after the end of the season 1969/70. 
 Subsequently, she did train in medical education as a physio and she did still involve with skiing sports. Her husband Ernst Scartezzini was the head of the Tyrolian Ski Federation (a member of the Austrian Ski Federation) from 1986 until 2004, and he is a Honory President of the Austrian Ski Federation since 2005.

message: Well, I can certainly fill in a few gaps, because he & I used to play chess at the Open University in our lunchtimes. Oliver was not just "associated with" the Open University, but a founding Professor of Mathematics. He was far too shy to appear on television, which in those days was a central plank of the Open U. He was, however, a deeply charming person, whose speciality was the calculus. He was too shy to appear on tv, so his material was presented by a female research assistant. He was a pretty strong chess player, and played on board 1 for Essex until his brother Jonathan reached international status. I'm delighted if (as your page says) my old opponent is still alive.

Talk:National highways of Japan

message: So yeah, I don't see anything about Class 1 and Class 2 highways on the Japanese wikipedia page. It looks like maybe 50 years ago there was a class system, and in fact it seems as though in 1965 all the national highways were deemed 一般国道, "general highways", and the class system was erased. I'd change this all myself, but I can't really translate for shit and the entire basis of this article is the class system which means I'd have to sort of start from scratch.

message: *Just for the record.

A blogger noticed.  So Safi took it down and replaced it with a photo of Muslims killed by Maronite Christians in Lebanon, and claimed that it was an Israeli atrocity committed against Palestinians. At this point the Religion News Service took the post down.  But as criticism of Safi began to spread across the web, the Boston Marathon bombings happened, and the press got distracted.   Coverage or not, a college professor who posts a photo from a Nazi death camp and pretends it is an Israeli atrocity?  Really?
