Talk:2000 SQA examinations controversy

message: Starting with the provocative title, there is a lot on non- neutral comment in this and a lack of any reference to publicly verifiable sources. It shows a lack of understanding of what the problem was - incorrect certificates, not wrong results - and refers to leaks and thoughts rather than evidence. This was a hugely embarrassing incident for the new SQA but needs to be reported more temperately and with some reference to data. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tony164 (talk • contribs).

replies: text: In my judgment, given the heading, we need a couple of paras explaining what the controversy is about, incorporating "one the one hand" and "on the other hand" statements.   And avoiding the tendency to rant.   And the time line section, while useful (1) should not be virtually all there is and (2) really needs, in a perfect world, an individual source attribution for every event and not merely a handful of source notes hastily chucked in at the end.   I am not volunteering.   I know next to nothing about it (even after reading the entry ... as it stands).   But since the subject appears to be an important one, and seems to involve education, there is surely someone, now that the summer term is over, with the appropriate combination of education, relevant knowledge and a spare evening able to convert this into a decent informative article.   And please.  Charles01 (talk) 19:34, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

message: All I can say is yikes.  This feels like a WP:TNT case if ever I saw one.  The bullet point list needs replacing with prose, claims about ministers resigning and statements about errors need sourcing, details are extremely scant and the sourcing that is there is heavily focused on the law case.

Charles Upfold page states that he built a large mansion on a piece of land in Crebert Street, North Waratah (now Mayfield), given to him by his friend John Scholey. It was later sold to the famous biscuit manufacturer William Arnott who sold it in 1898 to Isaac Winn, owner of the big Newcastle department store.
The  Mayfield page states:
Mayfield was originally a pleasant garden suburb on the outskirts of Newcastle, and by 1901 contained a Roman Catholic monastery, and several fine Victorian mansions belonging to prominent businessmen and lawyers, N.B.Creer (also three times Mayor of Waratah), Robert W. Upfold (Soap Manufacturers), Isaac Winn (Department store), William Arnott, J.P., (Biscuit manufacturers) and John Scholey's "Mayfield House", for which the sandstone was brought from England.

**Race logo (uploaded and labled according to wiki standards
**Track, sponsor, previous race names, distance
**Notations of first open wheel race and first IRL specific race
*Race results in table form, as has been established on wiki already. Since many races extend previous to the formation of the IRL, or stem from what was at one time a Champ Car race (either USAC or CART), the tables are listed in seperate but sequential order.

replies: text: The right spelling of the name is "Koskela". "Koskella" is not a surname. Characters with the surname "Koskela" appear in the novels of Väinö Linna and have become symbols of a finnish man in general.

message: Reasons for suspicion:
* Of precisely four edits by the article's creator and sole editor, two relate to this page, and one of the other two was the insertion of what appears to have been hoax-type vandalism into another article.
* Zero references; the "reference" link provided does not lead to anything remotely related to Finnish names.
* If a book called "The Forgotten Town" by Jaako Syrjä exists, then Google has not heard of it - the only result for a search for such a book is this article.
* If "Koskella" is used as a pseudonym in Finnish literature, then nobody has said so before on any English-language page that Google indexes.
And so on.  Basically, a total failure of WP:V combined with a number of extraordinary and unlikely-sounding claims and a "reference" that bears no relation whatsoever to the article contents make it reasonable, I think, to label this a likely hoax. — Haeleth Talk 22:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Paul Roberts (musician)

message: To be sure that Stranglers' Paul Roberts is different from Sniff 'n the Tears' Paul Roberts:
Websites that say they are the same:
www.mp3.com
www.almusic.com
www.artistdirect.com
www.answers.com
Website that implies they are different (different birth date)
www.plusonegallery.com
www.paulrobertspaintings.co.uk
Because this last one is Paul Roberts (the Sniff one) own website, I conclude they are different.
The strange thing is that the allmusic biography states that Paul Roberts and John Ellis were both ex-Sniff members, while on the Sniff n the Tears website, there is no John Ellis... So I must conclude that the person that wrote the allmusic biography made a mistake because the singers share the same name.
Conclusion: they are not the same persons. It's right in the article, I just put it here to prevent that other persons mistakenly change it. --Pie.er 15:03, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
