Talk:Little Iliad

message: Thanks for trying to make things consistent, but the fragment describing Neoptolemos taking Andromache and killing Astyanax is definitely from the Little Iliad. I agree it's puzzling but it's rock solid: see fragment 14 in Evelyn-White's edition. Dammit, I'd better provide a reference for that from a current edition when I get back to my office on Thursday, unless someone has a Bernabe/Davies/West reference to hand -- the Iliou persis article has had an error related to this fragment introduced to it again (which may have led Wetman astray).

message: I did a general rewrite of the page and added a bunch of content.  I retained almost all of the content from the previous page, but one part I deleted. "Opposition leaders, such as Anani Santos, Antoine Meatchi and Nicolas Grunitzky were either jailed in Mango prison or exiled to Ghana and Benin. Using "Ablode Sodja" militia, the president squashed political dissent. ReferenceSee Koffigoh Commission Report, 2005 and Livre Blanc (July 1963), the National Report on political events leading to President Olympio's death. Olympio's allies in the Parliament testified for this report."  I could find no other mention of Ablode Sodja militias in reliable sources, and the "reference" is plagiarized from another source which is quite unreliable. Regardless, the section did not meet basic standards and so I deleted it.  If anyone wants it back in, please find a reliable source and add it in.  Thank you.

It seems Taiwanese fanboys are more concerned with projecting "face" onto this guy than disseminating the truth.

Talk:The Rainbow

message: I believe that in the paragraph beginning "In 1989, the novel was adapted ...", the two sentences should be exchanged to make them chronological. Further to this, I've found an old copy of the Radio Times which can be used to expand what was the second sentence (but would now be the first sentence) as follows:
In 1988, the BBC produced a television adaptation directed by Stuart Burge, with screenplay by Anne Devlin. It was broadcast in three one-hour episodes between 4 December and 18 December 1988.
;Selected cast
*Imogen Stubbs as Ursula Brangwen
*Tom Bell as old Tom Brangwen
*Kate Buffery as Winifred Inger
*Jon Finch as Uncle Tom
*Martin Wenner as Anton Skrebensky
It was repeated in 1994.
[end suggested rewrite]
I only have the relevant issues for the broadcasts of 4 & 11 December, not that for 18 Dec, so cannot produce a full cast list. The five characters listed above were shown at the head of the programme entry for 4 Dec (in those days the RT tended to split the cast list along the lines of "starring" and "others"); the 4 Dec entry has a total of 22 cast members, the 11 Dec entry has 26.
Should all that go off to a separate article? There is none as yet, but on the Jon Finch page there is a redlink thus: The Rainbow.

message: I added the below inside the body of the text because the article seemed to short to start an external links page, especially with only one entry.
*Pius attacked for not confronting evil, Benedict attacked for confronting evil by Dennis Prager
I did not make a change (except to add Cornwall's birth year) but I don't think this is a balanced article.  It is basically an attack on Cornwall.  I agree that all of the criticisms need to remain, but they should be balanced by supportive references.  I could cite a few, but my preference would be that someone who has greater familiarity with Cornwell and has done deeper research would do that. But as written, I think this violates the Wikipedia standard of neutrality. 70.90.220.214 22:47, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  A Pontiff in Winter - POV 

message: Most if not all of paragraphs 2 and 3 of the section "Hitler's Pope" are opinions, unsourced statements, and arguments, which have very little or nothing to do with a biography of Cornwell.  (It looks very like an editor tried to rebut Cornwell's arguments but didn't have the materials to back up the rebuttal.)
The passage from "However, between 1933...." to ...Mit brennender Sorge" has been removed, since it's not part of a summary of the book but consists only of unsourced statements used to rebut Cornwell's thesis.
The passage, "Early reviews of...." to "...thousands of Jews." likewise consists only of unsourced statements, and should be removed.  If there is no substantial and substantiated disagreement, I will also remove that passage after a reasonable time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruckner (talk • contribs) 01:44, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

I placed it in this article to balance what seemed like an inordinate amount of criticism of Cornwell's book, without eliminating the criticism. My intention was to show that updated research vindicates the truth of Cornwell's allegation that the pope new full well about the extermination of Jews in Nazi death camps as early as 1942 and refused to act upon his knowledge.
