thread_title:  List of refs for possible expansion 

message: At the end of the "Slavery" section under "Differences from novel," it says that "a voiceover [...] informs the viewer that Sir Thomas has divested himself of his estates in Antigua, presumably as a form of redemption." This seems to me very personal opinion-ish, and also neglects to mention that he invests instead in the tobacco trade, which had its own ties to slavery, so it's not like this 'redemption' stuff is some obvious inference. 173.76.235.142 (talk) 21:17, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

The red portion between asterisks is a fragment, not a full sentence, and its application is ambiguous. What is "this": being Princess Ivy's twin sister, as in
: Ida is the twin sister of Princess Ivy, although this may have been the result of her own talent.
or marrying Prince Hilarion, as in

Talk:List of trademarks owned by the Church of Scientology and its affiliates

message: I see that the word "flag" in katakana is copyrighted, but the kanji for flag is listed next to the entry.  Has Scientology copyrighted the kanji as well (it's not listed on their copyright page)?  I don't speak fluent Japanese, but I know that the katakana for the English word flag and the kanji for the Japanese word flag are different.  If it is the case that Scientology doesn't hold the copyright for the kanji, could someone add the katakana for "flag"?  I don't know what it is.  146.7.202.42 02:07, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Joel Smith (murderer) →  – Smith isn't notable, other than for this single event, and so there shouldn't be a biography about him as per WP:ONEVENT and WP:PERP. The murders are notable because of the press coverage and public inquiry into Toni-Ann Byfield's death as she was under the care of Birmingham Social Services at the time but had been allowed to stay with her father, a convicted criminal. The public inquiry led to a UK review of child safeguarding practice and the Immigration Services' involvement in the early identification of particularly vulnerable children. This requested move is based on the naming conventions for violent deaths WP:MURDERS, with the first and last name of each victim included to identify them separately.

There is less than a sentence on his business career at Loews where he and his brother were corporate raiders (amongst other things they bought CBS and devalued it, almost nothing is mentioned of his time as Postmaster General where he turned the Post Office from a government agency to a private for-profit organization, etc.  He and his brother were very controversial as businessmen, especially as less-than-stellar businessmen and there should be something in the article that reflects this rather than promo-material.

Talk:Lawrence Treat

message: I was a neighbor of Larry Treat's when I was growing up in Yorktown Heights, New York--he taught me how to play chess--and the word always was that Treat had been a member of the Lincoln Brigade and had fought in Spain.  When I grew somewhat older and became an associate editor of Holiday Magazine, I asked Larry to do an article for us on his experiences during the Spanish Civil War, for a special issue on Spain that we were putting together.  He demurred, saying he'd rather not.  He did NOT say that he had never been a member of the Lincoln Brigade, which I took as quiet affirmation of his participation.  Or he could simply have been a fibber.  It would be interesting if anybody had any way of proving or disproving the veracity of this rumor.173.62.11.254 (talk) 18:57, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Lyman Trumbull

thread_title: Trumbull and Stephen Douglas

message: Currently, the article contains the following sentence:
:All seven Senators, resisting every manner of pressure imposed on them, broke party ranks and defied public opinion, voting for acquittal—and AGAINST elevating their party above the Constitution—in a principled act of what they all knew was political suicide.
I've got some issues with this.  
*First of all, the use of bold italics and all caps on the word "against" is a clue that someone is pushing some POV with this--that much emphasis is likely the work of someone unfamiliar with our policies on WP:NPOV.  
*Secondly, the source cited has nothing that I see in it explaining about this "group" of seven senators.  It doesn't specifically support the notion that anyone was "against elevating their party above the Constitution".
I'm going to amend this, but I will leave in the part about them committing political suicide; while that should be sourced, it does strike me as plausible and objective.  (I would like to see it documented, however, that there was a Gang of Seven [intentional insertion of neologism there] and that none of them were re-elected.)

The sentence was added by this anonymous edit in 2012.  The reference does exist (ISBN 1416547495) and appears to largely corroborate the edit, but both that source and the corresponding section of Johnson's impeachment article make no mention of, nor otherwise make plain the intended meaning of, "cash cards" as used in the quote.  Is anyone able to shed more light on the terminology used by our anonymous, erstwhile co-editor?  Otherwise, I feel the word "cards" should simply be struck from the text of the article.

Talk:Anne Keefe (theatre director)

message: No. This article stays:
*IBDB has an entry on Anne Keefe.
*The stage manager is, during a performance, the most important part of the crew. Working as a stage manager at a professional level, as Keefe has, yields notability. At the very least, this makes her notable within the American theatre community.
*Revisions have satisfied irongargoyle's previous complaint of non-notability.
Furthermore, Wikipedia is not a good resource on the technical aspects of theatre. A weakness pertaining to such a vast, complex, and fascinating community is not going to be fixed by deleting articles. --Cryptic C62 · Talk 23:21, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
