Talk:Harmen Jansen Knickerbocker

message: I changed the spelling of Wyhe and Overyssel to Wijhe and Overijssel, because this is really how it should be. I can't find any historic evidence for Wyhe or Overyssel. 
I deleted the (Wie) after Wijhe, this is the first name of Wijhe in 960, but has no relevance for Harmen Jansen Knickbocker 1000 years later.
* The Knickerbocker Historical Society consistently reports the spelling in legal records cited by Katherine Knickerbacker Viele as "Wye."  Paul Knickerbocker says this is the spelling Harmen Jansen "always" used (but doesn't cite additional references). Not R 05:44, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

message: "The most known battle was only three."  I'd fix this incomprehensible paragraph except that I have no idea what it means.

Famous Episodes
Shane Richie turned up to the show, apparently drunk, completely ignored Nick Nairn's ideas, and proceeded to make a large sandwich.
JK and Joel's attempts to "ruin" the show by splashing host Ainsley Harriott with whisked eggs, and causing a large stain on his shirt.
In an early edition of the show, chef Brian Turner was attempting to pipe whipped cream, when his bag burst, spraying his cream all over presenter Fern Britton's face.
Again chef Brian Turner was the victim of a famous episode, when a contestant emptied his bag on the work top, to reveal, to Turner's consternation, only a lobster and a shallot.

thread_title:  Famous Episodes 

message: I'd love to add the bistro and gourmet bag information to the "Basic Format" section. £7.50 is allowed for the Bistro bag, while the Gourmet bag has a value of up to £10.00. Unfortunately I'm relying on memory for this - maybe a letter to the BBC can confirm it? I'd also like to just rewrite a few paragraphs - the current writing is very wooden and some sentences don't read well. Can I do this without offending the original contributor? I won't be changing any of the factual information.(Anrie 13:32, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Cholly Atkins

message: Hey folks.
I noticed a section here that had been labeled "deadlinks". I've repaired the dead links, moved inline references back into the text, found a few more dead links, wikified some YouTube links and moved the selected videos section into the External Links section. I've flagged this article for additional work because the References section has a General Sources subheading that (I think) needs to have specific in-text mentions.
If anything I did here is a bridge too far, please let me know. Thanks!

message: Posted as response to Afd:
Notable. Nominated for several awards including 'the most renowned accolade at the Edinburgh Festival' the if.comedy award for a sell-out show at that festival. Television appearances including BBC 3 and commercial television. Radio appearances on BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 4, and a regular slot on BBC Radio 1. Recently completed a tour of Universities in England, Scotland and Wales, and recently received sponsorship for significant tour of UK theatres for Autumn 08. BBC Radio 4 have commissioned a show for broadcast in March. Channel 4 television have commissioned a show to be produced by Ash Atalla for broadcast in the summer of 2007. The team have contributed materials to a number of popular mainstream television and radios shows.  Agree this needs to be documented on the article, but suggest it should be developed rather than deleted. Brendan D (talk) 02:11, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello, my name is James Lowey. I've just completed a full rewrite of the article, correcting errors, adding references, and bringing it up to date. I originally intended to correct the article as it was, but after attempting to do so I realised that it'd be a lot easier to just rewrite and restructure it.
I feel that it is worth noting that I am friends with the three of Pappy's and also with Brendan (formerly of Pappy's Fun Club), and I have worked with them  (on their Fringe shows and tours) for several years. I have written this article from a NPOV, and gone out of my way to mention both positive and negative reviews. I'd appreciate it if people could look over the article and make sure that they agree that it is neutral. Thanks! Apollosfire (talk) 15:24, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Roy H. Williams

message: Okay, we really need to clean up this article and make it look more professional. Right now it is obviously just the ravings of a group of fanboys. Admittedly, I am a fanboy of Sir Williams, but we would make him (and us) look a lot better if we got this a bit more organized and objective.
I'm thinking we first need a standard bibliography, which will allow us to clear up substantial portions of the article, and then as much of a biography as possible. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about his personal life to contribute much to the second part.

message: I understand it sir. If you could help me with the simbol to his name the hits on the web will show. The "c" in Valenca is actually a symbol often used in Portguese and I cannot seem to find it in a standard English keyboard. Once we can spell it correctly with that symbol you will see that his notability is equivalent to that of Tom Jobin and Vinicius de Moraes (The composers of Girl of Ipanema). Also, the entries on IMdb should've given a hint of his notability and career longevity. Anyway, if you know of a way to type Portuguese characters using our standard American keyboard it would help me a lot since I have been writing several articles about Brazilian bands and musicians. Thanks a lot for your help and patience. Meanax 17:07, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:David Nyvall

message: The article entry contains the following statement:
*"In his absence, he served as the first president of Walden College in McPherson, Kansas. In 1907 he returned to Sweden and the following year he took up residence in Minneapolis where he edited the early Covenant periodical Veckoblad. He also established the department of Scandinavian Studies at the University of Washington and served as professor from 1910 until 1912."
This is problematic because according to the 1912 Kansas: Cyclopedia of State History Walden College in McPherson, Kansas, was not founded until 1908, a year after Nyvall reportedly returned to Sweden.  How could Nyvall have been president of a college that did not yet exist?  StudierMalMarburg 14:05, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There's no problem after all.  I've looked in other sources.  Walden College did exist prior to 1908, it just had no buildings prior to that date.  It taught classes in the McPherson Opera House, so Nyvall was president during the time period mentioned in the article.  Sorry for any confusion StudierMalMarburg 14:12, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

The system described in Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Using_the_bot seams to be a better system on how to log comments on pages, we only have to have them in one place, no more updating both this page and the talk page of the article. What we will get is something like this Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Biography_articles_by_quality/1 our looks like this Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Shark_articles_by_quality now, next time the bot runs we should get the importance in also. But the comments needs some more work. I can not really figure out the comment code in the template (or I think I do but Im not brave enough to try it now ....) if anyone understand please add the code to add the comment page and then the related category and subcategories, if not I will try ... some time ... later :-), also we do not have unassessed category, the template should set that if no assessment is doen, not sure how to do that either.

Note that none these refs actually refer to the online arm of BBC Scotland.
