Talk:1980 Labour Party leadership election (UK)

message: I'm not 100% sure but hadn't the votes to create the electoral college already happened? I seem to recall reading that Callaghan was opposed to the college, believing (like others) that it would etrench left-wing leaders, and called the election before the constitutional changes took effect so that MPs would elect his successor.
Also didn't some of the future SDP MPs famously vote for Foot so as to make their breach with the party easier? The prospect of a breakaway had been raised by commentators since at least 1974. Timrollpickering 16:47, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Timing, electoral college and the future SDP

message: While it is correct to say that "none of the SDP's founding "Gang of Four" were among those who "deliberately voted for Foot in order to give the Labour Party a man whom they regarded as an ostensibly unelectable left-wing leader" this could be seen as slightly misleading in that only Bill Rodgers and David Owen were eligible to vote in the contest. As noted at this point the position of leader (which was technically of the Parliamentary Party rather than the Labour Party as a whole) was exclusively chosen by MPs - it would not be until 1981 that the new rules giving members and trade unions a say would come into practice.  Shirley Williams was out of parliament, having lost her seat in 1979, while Roy Jenkins had ceased to be an MP in 1977. Though both would return to the House of Commons in by-elections, they did so after the formation of the SDP. I would therefore suggest qualifying the statement, by indicating that neither Rodgers nor Owen voted in this way.Dunarc (talk) 21:38, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  (old) 

message: The lead needs to identify the first edition illustrator and publisher, preferably in the first sentence. Recommendation: "... written by J.W., illustrated by ..., and published by ... in 1995." Describe the diary device and identical twins title/theme in the rest of the lead paragraph, or perhaps with mention of awards too.
If other illustrators and publishers are worth mentioning, they probably belong in section Publication history or in a footnote. Contemporary first and first US editions may deserve mention in the lead and/or infobox. Recommendation for infobox: first illus/publ on one line [break] first US on the next line with qualifier "(US)". 
(I have just added paragraph two about the 1995 Carnegie Medal. It may not belong in the lead, if and when this becomes a good "Start". Although I guess the author is happier about this runner up than about winning the overall Smarties Prize.) --P64 (talk) 19:43, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

replies: text:   You don't show danger/risks simply by "listing" incidents, instead you need to add context in which the general risks are described—which is what I did when I added a preamble to "Dangers" (renamed from "Casualties and incidents"). I then divided rider and horse injuries into two separate sections. I added a third section for "Falls", in which I re-added the recently removed 2 falls and added a third. Because of the Wikipedia policies of Assume good faith and No personal attacks, it is not a good practice to call an editor a "non-neutral person", especially without any evidence to back up that claim. I am neither an advocate nor a critic of eventing or Badminton Horse Trials. More experienced editors may always come along and change articles to better suit Wikipedia's guidelines, and just because you don't like their changes doesn't make them non-neutral. Next time you don't like my edits, try asking me 'why' rather than posting as a complaint.    ▶ I am Grorp ◀  19:56, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  On the timing of this RFC 

message: Procedural comments regarding the automatic numbering and the difficulties involved in referring to specific items.  More specifically, as new items are added, referring to items by numbers that may change becomes confusing.  Consequently, on a purly procedural note, it would be helpful if the items had fixed references that do not change as items are added.  E.g., instead of [link], it would be less confusing as responses to specific pieces of evidence are made to be able to refer to items listed as [link MANUALLY_GENERATED_REFERENCE] where MANUALLY_GENERATED_REFERENCE is based on some scheme, e.g., A01, A02, A03....B01, etc.  In that manner, I would be able to write something like this:
Re:  [B02] see this hypotethtical diff R01.  
Put another way, is the evidence section going to be closed at some point, at which point, responses to specific pieces of evidence can be made by reference to the automatically generating numbers without risk of confusion?  Thanks.  Infinite Improbability Drive 17:10, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I am not sure what the rules are for translation of Viking names, but it seems that the names here like "Hrolfr" are left in the Nominativ as is common in icelandic but not in English. In fact, 'Hrolfr' is actually 'Hrolf'  as becomes appearant in the Chronicon Lethrense and Annales Lundenses where he is called Rolf.
If Hrolfr would be put in the genitive, it would lose the '-r' but get a genitive ending. E.g. the son of 'Hrolfr' would be called 'Hrolfason'   and NOT "Hrolfrsson"
Compare the article about Erik the Red, whose icelandic name is "Eirīkr hinn rauði". He is translates as Erik, not Eirikr.
