Talk:Achille Devéria

message: A note on the first entry of Achille Devéria: I decided to add this because I'd done some research on him before, and noticed there wasn't an entry of him here. The information came from various sources, originally meant as a compilation of info for my family tree. I think some of it was translated from French. Anyway, I hope I'll be able to find all sources soon, also so I can figure out who indeed "David" is. Finally, my name's Alexis Deveria, so that's what the "A" in my username is about, not Achille. P.S. I'm new here, so please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong... --ADeveria 20:40, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: You've established notability (minor, but sufficient), and you're actively working on citing your sources, which is excellent. But while you're clearly well intentioned and not trying to hide anything, at least two paragraphs from your article are copied from your first source . Unless you're the copyright holder this is bad, and needs to be fixed. See Wikipedia:Copyrights. "Rewriting it in your own words" is common, but poor advice. An original article should draw raw data from multiple sources (information can't be copyrighted), recompiled and summarized using your own wording. 68.81.231.127 23:15, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

text: That's a common mistake; copyright can be confusing. It's best to assume to everything everyone writes is protected by copyright. With a few exceptions, that's pretty much true... books, websites, email... your paragraph right there... are all protected by default. Copyright notices are not required. Your submissions have to be original, or from one of the small subset of sources that are in the public domain or under a compatible license (and even then, the source needs to be cited). Keep working on the rewrite :) 68.81.231.127 04:17, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Talk:American Institute for Free Labor Development

message: Following a thread from Haig v. Agee, the majority cites a NYT article ( on p. 280 footnote 7) as evidence that Philip Agee's disclosures led to violence: the  1981 murder of two unnamed "American officials" at the Institute in El Salvador.
The article goes further: it reports that the Solicitor General  Wade McCree Jr identified these victims (Michael P. Hammer and Mark David Pearlman) as "under cover", before walking the claim back.
Given the stub class of the article, a whole section on this may be giving it undue weight, but it nonetheless seems noteworthy.

:In Metuchen, N.J., Sharon Waters has thrown a Setsubun party on the first Saturday of February since 2003. The fete includes a contest to pick the toshi-otoko, who then leads the crowd in throwing soybeans from her front step as everyone yells "fuku wa uchi, oni wa soto." Sharon believes the holiday falls at the perfect time for a party in the dead of winter. It is her goal to put Setsubun on every American’s calendar by 2018.

This appeared soon after Nick ‘left’ in 2006
For those who are fans of Nick Girdler, as you know he was axed from Radio Solent a couple of weeks ago. What's really insulting is that Solent management think that people believe the official line that he left of his own accord. Can't abide those who think you're stupid and will believe anything they say. 
A Yahoo group has been set up with non-restricted membership.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nickgirdlerhasleftthebuilding/
I was a real fan because he was definitely un-PC, called a spade a spade, didn't suffer fools, was funny and entertaining, was knowledgeable in all sorts of areas, deflated the pompous, as well as never charging for personal appearances for the selected causes he supported (unlike most so-called celebs), said he was well-looked after by society and therefore gave 21 days of his time for free back to it, was a school governor and still is a magistrate. Really brightened the mornings with his totally interactive show for those who wanted to be part of it. 
He wasn't everyone's cup of tea, and something went wrong so he's no longer with the BBC.

Jack and the Beanstalk
Published Friday 10 December 2010 at 13:34 by John Hannam
How times have changed at the Kings, Southsea. Just a few years ago, there was considerable doubt about the venue’s future, and they had to resort to amateur pantomimes. This Jack and the Beanstalk is very traditional - laced with audience participation, good comedy, colourful dance routines - and is a tonic for all ages.
The star of the show is unquestionably Aiden J Harvey, who flies to Britain from Spain for his pantomime seasons. As Simple Simon he has the energy, enthusiasm and experience to keep everything moving. He has seen it all before and the kids love him from his first entrance.
Lynne McGranger makes an impact as Witch Blackweed, and her confrontations with Britt Ekland, as Fairy Pea-Pod - who flew in from the Australian jungle and virtually went straight on stage - are most enjoyable. Richard Stride, in only his second time as a dame, really scores as Tilly Trott. He plays it simply, with real tradition and it works very well.
Nick Girdler, as King Willy, is the best local radio presenter I have ever seen in pantomime. The Radio Solent legend is an integral part of this production and looks at home. Daniella Gibb sings strongly as Princess Jill and she enjoys several effective scenes with Steven Arnold (Ashley Peacock from Coronation Street) as Jack.
The opening company number sets up this very fine show at a venue that has such an amazing atmosphere for pantomime. The Twelve Days of Christmas comedy routine is one of the best I have ever seen in 40 years of watching pantomimes  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Radioman72 (talk • contribs) 15:18, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

message: In the United Kingdom, unwitnessed holographic wills were valid in Scotland until the Requirements of Writing Scotland Act 1995 which abolished the provision; such wills written after 1 August 1995 are now invalid in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.[17] Holographic wills need not be signed, when subscription to the writing appearing on the last page of such sheet is "your loving mother," or words to the effect which designates the family or personal relationship, if it is a material consideration, the signature is sufficient
I don't understand the last part. Since holographic wills are invalid across the United Kingdom, what does it matter whether you sign your worthless, invalid Will with a squiggle or "your loving mother" or "Mickey Mouse"? --83.218.138.8 (talk) 09:57, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
