Talk:Blanche Mehaffey

message: This article is describing two different people. The young film actress of the 1920s and her mother, a soprano. Both called Blanche Mehaffey. The poster taken in 1907 if of this woman's mother who was called Blanche Berndt Mehaffey. The film actress is simply referred to as Blanche Mehaffey then her married names are added on. I will do my best to fix up some of this article. It's a mess. The poster is a nice poster of the mother but I should probably remove it as it's incorrect. Perhaps an article should be started on the mother. Koplimek (talk) 01:31, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Cedric Robinson

message: There is a good interview with Robinson ("Capitalism, Marxism, and the Black Radical Tradition: An Interview with Cedric Robinson") here: http://www.negations.net/?p=42  I have to post the link on this page, because Wikipedia's shadowbot keeps deleting it from the main entry page.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.120.140.221 (talk) 11:45, May 22, 2007
:Hi. First, you should sign your comments by adding ~~~~ at the end.
:Second, the link was deleted (only once) because it is a blog. Wikipedia policy discourages linking to blogs.
:There are exceptions. If this was an important interview and it was only available on that blog, it might be such an exception. But it was a reprint of an interview from a magazine.
:So the solution is Google. I spent thirty seconds and found a site that isn't a blog that had the same interview. Voilà! My link probably won't be deleted.
:But there's a bigger problem. In order to have an article in Wikipedia, a person must be "notable." This article fails to establish Robinson's notability. In general, a person is notable if she or he has been the subject of published secondary sources that are independent of the subject. In order to establish his notability, we need to find more articles about Robinson, such as book reviews, interviews, or news articles. — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 17:43, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I spent some time working on the article. I also searched for articles about Robinson and found several. They helped me add a lot to the article, and I was able to add more sources (including a book review by Cornel West). The article would still benefit from some more information about Robinson — it mentions his radical politics but never describes what they are; maybe the interview would be helpful — but I think it's much better than it was. — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 00:13, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Call for references and new text 

message: I just read Robert Baird's article in the July Stereophile, and by the second paragraph realized it was a marvelously clever put-on. Wikipedia, you've been had.
Amazing it's taken so long for someone to take a satirical stick to C&W. (Classical music has had Peter Schickele since the early 60s, heavy metal has had Spinal Tap since the 80s.) The lyrics to "If I Could Only Fly" are nothing but a string of clichés.
:"If I could only fly, if you could only fly, if we could only fly, there'd be no more lonely nights." Apparently, neither of them has heard of Greyhound. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 01:47, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: After some additional research, I've discovered there really was a Blaze Foley -- his ludicrous biography notwithstanding. I have now decided that "If I Could Only Fly" is an intentional send-up of bad C&W. Wonder what I'll think tomorrow. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 15:59, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Millbrook, Cornwall

message: I have removed the claim that Millbrook is Cornwall's largest village. Although it has a population of over 2,000 at the 2001 census, St. Agnes has over 6,000 population.
There may be a valid claim that either:
The village centre of Millbrook has the largest population in Cornwall
and/or:
the village covers the greatest surface area of any village in Cornwall.
However, I do not have the facts to substantiate these statements.
Unless, of course, you know different! In which case, re-edit, but please site sources to back up any claims (as we know that anything to do with sizes on the Cornish portal is contentious!).

thread_title:  Bobby Bloom Album 

message: How can you say he was an American songwriter when the first stanza in Montego Bay sings about a British airline (BOAC) and him driving a British car (MG) while learning to drive on the right side of the road in Montego Bay?
If he was from America, why would he need to adjust his driving for the right side of the road.
Here's the first stanza; "Vernon will meet me when the BOAC lands,
Keys to the MG will be in his hand,
Adjust to the driving and I'm on my way.
It's all on the RIGHT side in Montego Bay"
Case and point!
