Talk:Ernestine Hill

message: The Wikipedia article refers to a husband who died in 1933 but gives no other details. The entry on Hill in the Australian Dictionary of Biography makes no reference to a husband and discusses her relationship with R. C. Packer using her original surname of Hemmings:
     In Sydney in early 1919 Hemmings entered the world of journalism as secretary to J. F. Archibald, literary editor of 
     Smith's Weekly of which she subsequently became a sub-editor. There began her association with R. C. Packer, the 
     newspaper's manager. On 30 October 1924—'the happiest day of my life'—her son Robert was born. He was rumoured to be 
     Packer's son, although he was never publicly acknowledged by him. Ernestine assumed the surname Hill.
The Wikipedia article is somewhat sketchy and needs filling out, perhaps using material from the ADB, assuming that to be more or less authoritative.

However, we can add something that says something like "The British considered EOKA to be a terrorist organisation." It is pretty obvious that was the case from the British perspective. But let's face it the British were in another country (they weren't in the UK). It's a bit rich to criticize them as terrorists whilst they were revolting against unwanted foreign rule.

* The Compass Inside Ourselves, published by Fireweed. [no date given]
Apparently the first is correct (My Dog and I at WorldCat) and the three a confusion with Nancy Lord born 1952-01-11 (per LCCN).

message: This article should not be presented as is. The entire first paragraph has very little to do with either Lemuria or Easter Island and is, in fact a tirade of the author against any and all "fringe" archaeology. We should not be able to tell what the author's (thinly veiled) opinion is by reading this entry. The repeated insistence of the author about the manipulation of evidence  has little to do with the subject and distracts from the purpose of the article. Those comments should be reserved for a discussion on 'pseudoarchaeology'. 
This article should be presented as legend and mythology to maintain an unbiased tone. All mention of the 'definition' and shortcomings of 'pseudorarchaeology' should be erased. Anataria 16:25, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Weapon

message: WP runs by not truth but verifiability. Granted. And the shooting case is one involving poetic legend versus prosaic fact. Early reports are so often inaccurate and, iindeed, in this case the early reports stated that Desmond Barnes had been shot by Rollins. He wasn't. According to witnesses, Barnes was surprised he'd been hit in the thigh, Barnes' having not been shot at close range but from afar. No ballistic tests have been cited indicating Barnes had been shot by Rollins. What the Sheriff's office has said is "investigators are still trying to determine which bullets struck which individuals"/ "nor was it clear how the 14-year-old boy was wounded, St. Mary's County Sheriff Tim Cameron said. But the sheriff credited the officer with preventing any more loss of life."

message: I had never heard of this battle referred to as the 'Battle of Middle Boggy Depot' until I read the one source.  The locals leave the 'Depot' off the end of the battle name.

Narthring (talk) 20:02, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Battle of Middle Boggy 

message: Others have noted that the name being used is incorrect.  One demonstrated this via local names, another by checking the O.R.  As a result, "Middle Boggy" has been substituted for some time.  I've also done an online O.R. search and gotten zero hits for "Middle Boggy Depot".  In addition Kennedy's 2nd Ed. of The Civil War Battlefield Guide also lists this as "Middle Boggy."  There are many mentions of the "Boggy Depot" as it was an important place.  Unfortunately, the NPS American Battlefield Protection Program summary and the Oklahoma preservation report merged the two locations into one, listing "Middle Boggy" as "other names."  I propose changing the name of this page to "Battle of Middle Boggy" per the common names guideline, creating a redirect for the errant NPS name. Red Harvest (talk) 06:50, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Red Harvest, I concur with your proposal, since the Battle of Middle Boggy seems to be the more common name now. I would show the depot title as a former name.

message: I have found the following info on Meynell on the bbc news website :
...it has been revealed that Sir Francis Meynell, an early editor of the Communist newspaper and of the Catholic weekly The Tablet, smuggled Soviet diamonds into England in a box of chocolates. 
The report, dated 29 December 1920, says "he (Meynell) purchased a box of chocolates, extracted the cream contents, and filled them in with diamonds". 
The smuggled jewels are believed to have been used to help fund the Communist Party of Great Britain.''

thread_title:  Date of death 

message: What has been written appears to have been taken from various places, and with no verification against source documents.
He enlisted in April 1901, and had signed up for twelve years service, of which the original breakout was seven years with the Colours as a full-time soldier, and the remaining five years with the Army Reserve. When Service Pay was introduced in Spring 1904, the soldiers were incentivised to agree to these terms, and to serve an extra year with the Colours, which clearly happened in his case. On page 195 of "Old Soldier Sahib", he refers to the introduction of service pay, and returning to study for a certificate of education, in order to qualify for a higher pay rate.
If you bother to read the book, he was, by definition, obliged to serve in the Army Reserve until April 1912. It is simply not possible that he 'he extended his reserve service for a further four years until 1912'. Richards clearly states, on page 309 of "Old Soldier Sahib"
