* Is there anything more about his personal life other than his early childhood and divorce? If so, that information should be added or this won't pass the comprehensiveness criterion of FA.
* Titles in citations require consistent capitalization per MOS:CONFORMTITLE. I leave the choice of capitalization scheme to you.
* Some of the book cites use  and others do not. For consistency of citation style, I would switch those that do not to using .
* I cannot find this source: "The Complete International Directory of Snooker Players – 1927 to 2018". Neither the ISBN nor its title return any hits.
* "Pulman had been touring snooker clubs as promotional work for the tobacco brand John Player" - I left a  tag on this.

message: Magama the brother of Tongogara held the highest office held by in an African in the Rhodesian notorious special branch. How was that possible with Tongogara being the commander of Zanla. Is it possible JT was a Rhodesian plant who was exposed at Lancaster house. He is said to have exchanged pleasantries with Ian Smith including well being of family members. It raised eyebrows. In an interview that I watched on British tv it was put to him if he had ambition lead Zimbabwe. He answered why not. He had led the war. He could lead Zimbabwe.
This paragraph on the page has both extremely poor grammar and a lack of reliable sources, unless Wikipedia has changed to allow memories of writers watching British television from what must be years ago. It also includes the use of the first person pronoun "I" which I found rather humourous when reading the article. Tombricks (talk) 13:39, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

message: On qi.com we can see the titles and guests of the remaining episodes for "Series P". The episodes are listed in the order they have originally aired, with the exception of episodes no. 6 (Pictures) and no. 7 (Picnics). I believe all remaining episodes should be added to the episode table in the order they appear, despite the airdates not having been announced yet. In the corresponding URL for each episode we can see the episode numbers  (see for example Potpourri: qi.com/shows/qi/series-p/11-potpourri), but taking into consideration this one inconsistency i mentioned earlier, i think the parameters  and  should be left blank for now.

message: This church's stance on Referendum 74 needs to be included in the article.
From the Referendum 74 article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Referendum_74 
"
Opposition to the bill was coordinated largely by the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle, which encouraged support for rejecting the bill among all parishes.[23] Parishes planned "in-pew donations as part of what it is calling Preserve Marriage month" and NOM was expected to bring in additional money from outside the state.[24][25]
"
I think this should be included in the article on this church. Deeply seated opposition like this should not be whitewashed from their history.

text: Medieval and middle ages are synonomous, they mean the same thing and thus need to point to the same article. Even if you created a bot to "fix", youd have to re-run that bot every month or so because there are many new links being made -- it is most widely known in relation to the Middle Ages and thus should point there, users shouldnt have to click through twice to get where they first intended. For historiography/etymology of the term, a separate article may be justified, although a good case can be made to keep all in a single article, we'll see how it develops. There will always be different views on this, thats why consensus is better than a vote, if it comes to that, and loged in your account instead of anon has more weight.  --Stbalbach 18:48, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, there is also the problem that our alphabet is called the "Latin alphabet", and as the "ae" page says, it is a separate letter, in English...or it used to be in Old English, at least. It's not a letter in the Latin language itself - look at the inscription on Trajan's column for example.

Talk:Christian name

message: The term "Christian name" for "first name" is essentially unknown in the United States. I recall hearing it only in the UK, so I've added that note to the article. Is it used in other Commonwealth countries? I'm in Canada now and I don't think it's used much here; I haven't much noticed it, and I think I would have noticed.
By the way, I can sort of see it being used by agnostics or atheists whose ancestors were Christian, but is it really used (in the UK) by, say, Jews or Hindus, for the first names of Jews or Hindus? That would seem extremely odd to me. --Trovatore 18:04, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
