Talk:Arthur Raistrick

message: I've started an article on Dr Arthur Raistrick. I am acutely conscious that I have missed much out and that others who kenw him or his works will have much to add.  I'd be interested in discussing with anyone anything they feel I've missed out or got wrong.  Slioch 14:34, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: An article on a close relative might easily become a candidate of WP:AFD.  I sincerely hope that will not be the case here.  Arthur Raistrick was an important pioneer of Industrial archaeology.  As is inevitable with a pioneer, some of his work has been overtaken by later research by others, but they built on his work.  In revising this article, I have added something as to his work on lead, which is also important (though dated in parts).  I still regularly refer to Dynasty of Ironmasters in preference for nore recent works on the family.  Peterkingiron 23:13, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have attempted to wikify the article with sub-headings. I have brought out references from the body of text and started a bibliography based on those works which are refered.  I echo Peterkingiron's comments and hope that the article does not fall prey to WP:AFD.  Continued edits by third parties should deflect most adverse comment but the soundest defence is to cite all stated facts from published sources.  Each paragraph containing a coherent unit of information should have its own citation and Croucher (1995) is a good start.  In particular, his comments to Harold Wilson need some back-up - was Raistrick's reply ever published or do you have a copy of his correspondence?  My best regards Oxonhutch 06:28, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I expect that there is a carbon copy on file in some governemtn office, which may (if not weeded) turn up one dat in The national Archives.  I think that his appearance in Oxford Dictionary of Natioanl Biography (though I have not checked it) should be sufficient to save this from an AFD.  Peterkingiron 21:36, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Gubby Allen

message: Gubby Allen was not Plum Warner's son. He was however, the nephew of Reginald Allen who had played Test Cricket for Australia.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thermosoverfil (talk • contribs) 13:04, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cricket Heritage. 

message: The article currently relies almost entirely on Jim Swanton's biography of Allen and that is the establishment mouthpiece spouting on about the "virtues" of the prime establishment figure. Balance is needed. The readers need to be told the facts about "Sir" and Middlesex players having to stand to attention when "Sir" entered their dressing room. Allen was arrogant and full of his own self-importance. He took advantage of the "gentlemen" versus players hegemony of his time, though he saw the tide finally turn. Allen was an average first-class player who probably wouldn't have played for England if he had been a pro, though he evidently believed he was a great bowler and captain. I'll own that he was an efficient administrator and he certainly cared about MCC, but he was not good for the game as a whole and the article needs much more on this aspect than one sentence saying that he liked to hear "clipped accents". More sources are needed, especially written by the "players". ----Jack | talk page 19:21, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Other side of the coin

Talk:Harry Trott

message: I see in the lead that his full name was "George Henry Stevens Trott", and I assume that Stevens was a secondary surname because, well, it's not used as a given name too often. But then I see in Early Life that his mother was Mary-Ann Stephens. So am I just assuming wrongly and his middle name was, coincidentally, Stevens ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.243.165.189 (talk) 12:46, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: "Stevens" was definitely his middle name, and it's possible it was just a coincidence, but your explanation (that it was his mother's maiden name) does seem likely. Stevens was born in 1866, which was still a time when record-keeping was done by hand, so it's possible that the registrar made a spelling mistake and Trott never bothered to correct it (or only found out about it at a later date).

message: What are we to make of Leopold III being depicted as one of the Just Judges? Here we must remember that during the period Belgium was gripped by a discussion about the fitness of Leopold III for the throne. In 1951, the year in which the panel was included in the altarpiece, Leopold III was obliged to abdicate the crown. Was Van der Veken a supporter of Leopold III, who with some justification could be regarded as a collaborator? Belgium was divided, and a referendum revealed the depth of popular support for the king. Yet another indication of the complexity of Van der Veken. Everybody got to be somewhere!

message: This article consists principally of only very slightly reworded content from the article on the Hass family in Grove Music Online. Although this source is given in the references, this amounts to plagiarism as defined the wikipedia policy Wikipedia:Plagiarism, as there is no inline reference given. Regardless of this, the bulk of the article gives very little other than what can already be found in Grove, so the spirit of wikipedia writing is not present.
