Talk:David Pratt (Canadian broadcaster)

message: This article seems to be nothing more than shameless self promotion, and seems to be written either by Pratt or a close friend, ie. Don Taylor. Take this line, for example, "Pratt is single and has a reputation as a ladies man around the Vancouver nightlife." If you ever listen to or watch  Pratt and Taylor it seems that Don is simply saying this as a joke rather than with any seriousness and thus this "reputation" is more rumor or a running joke than fact. Then you have this line "the ever-popular Don Taylor." According to whom or what? Pratt may be knowledgeable about sports but when it comes to real world issues such as politics, he is out of his element. Yet, Pratt, and often Taylor, will rant about deep topics in the most shallow of manners as if on a high horse, displaying their complete ignorance about that which they are discussing. Further, Pratt and Taylor regularly objectify women on their show, talking about women with whom they would like to have sex and demeaning women whom they find unattractive. Favorite women they attack are Yoko Ono and Hillary Clinton.

Talk:David Pringle

message: It so happens that I am acquainted with David Pringle, that I have met at an international conference in Norwich in 2007, and think that this article is a fair assessment of his activity as a SF editor. He is a rather important figure in the field, thanks to the magazine Interzone that he edited for decades, a magazine which commissioned  the fiction from important authors (e.g. J.G. Ballard, but that isn't the only name one could drop). In my opinion this article should not be removed but kept.--93.40.121.141 (talk) 07:18, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I dont know if this article was up for some form of deletion, but I can assure you that editors with any knowledge of SF will not let this be deleted. he is cited fairly often as a reliable source on WP for his reference works.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 09:56, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I didnt get past the opening paragraph.  It was very heavily biased to the point of distraction.  My main problem was this line:"His less capable successor, Charles VI, made peace with the less capable son of the Black Prince, Richard II, in 1389", so I changed it by omitting the words 'less capable' from the text68.33.161.17 (talk) 21:41, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Talk:David Pryce-Jones

message: Quite typically for Wikipedia, this article betrays very strong bias and NPOV, and it is evident that, because it is not tended properly and is not a mainstream subject of wide popular interest, this has been perpetuated for a long time, years in fact.  The snide and actually implicitly antisemitic references to Pryce-Jones's Jewish connections, the amazingly distorted and even false account of his important book about Arab culture, The Closed Circle (only citing one hostile book review, and none of the many that were positive), the partisan and rumor-mongering account of other aspects of his life, all  of this amounts to character assassination, and the reason is obvious: he criticised Arab and Muslim culture.  The entire article should be wiped, and a new one written by someone actually familiar with the subject and not biased against it by extraneous fanaticisms.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.107.218.51 (talk) 04:51, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Extraordinary and hostile bias of this article 

message: It's quite clear that the only reason this guy likes Pryce-Jones is because Pryce-Jones is your archetypical European Conservative of the variety that has some sort of consummate fetish for Zionism and Israel. 
The article should be wiped, but primarily for the reason that Pryce-Jones is worthless as an academic and serves essentially as a refuse rag for those who see the Arab peoples as fundamentally monolithic, unintelligent, and backwards-- an unrealistic and biased view, and unrealistic as well, to say the least.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.30.25.106 (talk) 03:11, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Donald Crisp

message: Was Donald born in 1880 or 1882? Hotwine8 03:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Donald Crisp was born George William Crisp on 27 July 1882 at home in Bow in the Poplar District (now Tower Hamlets) in East London, and therefore an English actor. In the main article I indirectly cited the most reliable source as reference for the date and place of his birth. It is just a scanned image of the master index of all Births, Marriages, and Deaths for all of England and Wales, but it does permit free access and it does confirm both the place (East London) and the date (registered in the three month period July, August, September 1882). Those that wish to pay can look at his specific Birth Certificate details on page 594 of Volume 1 Section C in the Registry of Births for 4 September 1882 in the Poplar District (physically owned by its successor, Tower Hamlets). His mother Elizabeth Crisp did not register his late July birth until early September. You are not the first to be misled by his claims concerning his background (see the "Oxford University?" section below (coming shortly)).

message: I've now renamed this article from 'Campaign for "santorum" neologism' to 'Campaign for the neologism "santorum"'.

Talk:Karyn Parsons

message: There seems to be a lot of confusion as to Karyn's correct date of birth.  Edits keep being done to her birthyear 1968 and to the date as well August 9.  IMDB for years had August 9, 1889it has recently been changed to October 8, 1966 to announce an upcoming 40th birthday.  Can anyone please cite a credible website that agrees with one of these dates? At the present time, IMDB has October 8, 1966.  I personally will stick with that, because I don't want to continue editing the dates! Hotwine8 01:53, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I tried to find out what her real DOB is. Although I could not find any definate info, I'm quite sure the right date has to be October 8, 1966. Whenever I found August 9, 1968, the birthplace said Chicago, Illinois. Since Gillian Leigh Anderson is born August 9, 1968, Chicago, Illinois, I suppose that Parsons' and Anderson's DOB and birthplace were once mixed up and copied indiscriminately. Caudex Rax 23:27, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I reverted an addition of a date of birth based on an article about her at TheFamousPeople.com website. That site seems questionable, as it says, "We consider that the wisdom of the crowd is better than the wisdom of few experts." on its About Us page.

Talk:David Rawlings

message: "Note in 1937-1939 Epiphone sold a model called the Apollo in England. It was very similar to the Olympic with a mahogany or birch 16" sunburst body, segmented f-holes, rectangle fingerboard inlays, "Epiphone Masterbilt" decal peghead logo, and a black pickguard. It cost less than the Olympic and had a mix of features which Jim Fisch says led to speculation it may have been produced by Regal for Epiphone." from http://www.guitarhq.com/epiphon2.html#olympic

The book I was mostly following labels Ashe and Bloodworth as anti-federalists and Williamson, Steele and Sevier as federalists.

There is some discussion of parties in the Talk page for the 1st US Congress article.

Talk:David Robb

message: I wonder if someone has a source for the statement about  First Among Equals and the impact it had on the career of Robb and others. It claims it was Robb's "big break", but as the previous paragraph claims Robb was "well known for playing Germanicus in the famous 1976 BBC production of I, Claudius" and notes his playing the key role of as "Robin Grant.. in Thames Television's 1981 series The Flame Trees of Thika". Equally the claim is made that First Among Equals "propelled careers of co-stars Tom Wilkinson, Jeremy Child and James Faulkner". However Faulkner had an even bigger role than Robb in I, Claudius and had a good few film appearances by the time of First Among Equals. Thus without a source this looks a bit point of view.
