Talk:John Russell, 4th Earl Russell

message: "He made a speech in the House of Lords that was considered so outlandish that to this day it is the only speech unrecorded by Hansard".  The speech may have been outlandish, but does anyone know what it stated?  Sometimes we have to accept, at least the possibility, that the truth may be a little crazy (further the expectations of MPs in Parliament may bias or load their views of whether a particular speech was outlandish).  Of course, the speech was probably crazy (but the page doesn't provide any indication of what was said - perhaps there are media sources that can be referenced?).

thread_title: Outlandish Speech

message: The photograph used to illustrate this article was taken in 1942, which seems plausible given Bertrand Russell's appearance. However, John Russell was 21 in 1942, and the lad in the picture is certainly far from being 21. The source () actually says that the picture shows "Russell and his son Conrad", which means that the boy is really Conrad Russell, 5th Earl Russell, who was 5 at the time. I'll remove the picture from this article. --Wrongfilter (talk) 09:20, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Category:Selenographers? 

message: The man is an artist, but whilst there is extensive coverage of his religious views, there is not even an attempt to catalogue his works. Most WP articles on architects and engineers, for example, do mention the buildings or bridges they created, or at least the better examples thereof. Please add a list of extant works, with: date of creation if known; private or public collection; if public, where to see. Possibly also some more examples of his oeuvre on this article: suggest the portrait of Mikak as an urgent example, partly because it is a magnificent work in itself, partly because the subject raises several thoughts on attitudes to non-Europeans in the Georgian era: rare enough to be a wonder rather than numerous enough to be a 'threat'?

Talk:Jacks River

message: This article REALLY needs cleanup.  It currently reads as some kind of cross between a travelogue and a protest/complaint.  There are no references or links, and the writing style is very conversational.  Maybe this should be reverted back to the version immediately previous to the "All these rivers are yours" comment.

Talk:Anti-scaling agent

message: The present article started many years ago as a well-intentioned, useful theme, but several related articles have cropped up that strongly overlap.  Here is an overview of the topics:
===Articles that overlap with anti-scaling agent===
There are two things that fall out of water - scale and scum.
*water softening, basically about the use of ion exchange and sequestration (including lime softening, a particular method)
*soap scum short article about what reslts when hard water and dications meet
*hard water, the source of the problems
*Fouling, the effects of hard water, scale formation
===Overviews of water purification===
Inevitably some overlap and the topic is indeed very important.
*water treatment, a weak and redundant article that is made redundant by Sewage treatment, a strong article it appears
*Industrial water treatment, not sure the point of this article
*Water purification, broad, includes removal of biologicals
It just seems to me that readers are not well served by overlaps in both the antiscaling and the overvew articles. --Smokefoot (talk) 00:15, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Overviews of water purification

message: This article mixes up two different topics. An anti-scaling agent is one that protected against scaling. A descaling agent is a chemical that removes scale. Anti-scaling may be an important topic but descaling is more significant. Removal of scale is a problem for millions of households and business worldwide. The topic should be renamed 'descaling agents' or a separate topic created.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.149.59.21 (talk) 10:52, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Pendle Hill Quaker Center for Study and Contemplation

message: Here's some research toward a possible list of the most significant authors they've published.
*Arnold J. Toynbee  ("Christianity and Civilization" PH Pamphlet # 39 (1947) was the first American publication of these 1940 lectures, edited by Albert Fowler, below)

*William Penn (d. 1718)
*John Woolman (d. 1772)

*Kenneth Boulding
*Martin Buber (d. 1965) 
*Thomas Kelly
*Lewis Mumford
*A. J. Muste (d. 1967)
Presumably need disambiguation into rdlks:
*Thomas Brown
*Frederick Faber

*Dan Wilson
Probably same person, maybe PH press primary publisher:
*Emil Fuchs
*Richard Gregg
*Reginald Reynolds
Likely for PH press to be primary publisher:

Talk:Piero Manzoni

message: Manzoni's work makes almost no sense as a stand-alone concept. Manzoni was keenly aware of the power of irony in the post-modern sense, right down to his death which closely followed that of Yves Klein. You can look it up.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.30.181.214 (talk) 29 August 2006
:Almost?
:Perhaps he was aware that he had the power to make people, including prestigious art museums, look incredibly foolish and used it to full advantage?  That would explain Artist's shit.  KarlM (talk) 08:21, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Even by Wikipedia's very modest standards, this article is remarkably poor.

thread_title:  "Morris goes so far as to include misleading endnotes about such imaginary characters to thoroughly confuse his reading audience." 

message: The comment, "The book was briefly shown in AMC's popular drama, Breaking Bad." was  for lacking citations.  I just watched Breaking Bad episode 12, Season 5, and sure enough, there's the book clearly displayed in the episode.  Don't know how to "cite" this information (there's no information about it on the Wikipedia entry of the episode in question) but it is a fact that the book is clearly shown being looked at by one of the major characters in the series.  Just a FYI.  Hope it helped.  Thanks114.158.149.192 (talk) 09:12, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Simply to establish that the book appears in the episode, you would just cite the episode itself, using template:Cite episode. A bigger objection to including it would be that by the sounds of it, it isn't remotely notable. Does the episode discuss the book, or is the book significant to the events of the episode in a way that wouldn't work if it were replaced by any other book?

Talk:Prospect Reservoir

message: Two myths under History: 
1. VH was not built as a forty-roomed mansion
2. It was demolished in 1929 not 1926.
Both are incorrect statement from ADoB:
 E. W. Dunlop. "Lawson, William (1774 - 1850)". Australian Dictionary of Biography, online edition. Australian National University, has "In 1912 it was used by the army and many of the larger rooms subdivided, giving rise to a myth that it had been a "forty-roomed mansion" in Lawson's time."  (Retrieved 29 August 2006.) But Dunlop also states "The house was demolished in 1926."
The intention of demolishing it was reported in SMH in 1926 but it didn't happen until 1929.  "The building was razed in 1929."

Talk:Cameron E. Thom

message: Currently his page says he had two wives and four children. Yes, this information is sourced, but incomplete. I propose the following edit:
        "Thom was married at least three times: first in 1851 to Elizabeth L Beach who died in 1856; second in 1858 to Susan Henrietta Hathwell who died in 1862, and third in 1874 to Susan's sister, Belle Cameron Hathwell. He had eight known children: Charles and Harry from Elizabeth; Albert Mayo from Susan; and Cameron DeHart, Catesby Charles, Belle Buford "Jette" (Mrs. Arthur Collins of London, England), Erskine Pembroke, and Alex L, all from Belle."
I have seen Mrs Arthur Collins with a variation of LADY Arthur Collins, however her husband was Arthur Pelham Collins, a playwright with his own wiki page, does not appear to have been inducted into any order. And yes I have the right A.P. Collins; they married in 1901 but that's a different matter. Only mentioning it before we go giving her titles she didn't have. It's also interesting that her brother's obituary says Cameron was the FIRST mayor when he was the SIXTEENTH, so even newspapers (yeah, the ones often cited as sources on here) give bad information.
I know the wiki community is a stickler for sources, but I'm not so great at formatting all that (not to mention I've offered sources on other articles and they have been rejected by someone that didn't want to be upstaged), so I'll include my sources here and maybe someone else can do the good work.
