Talk:William Percival Crozier

message: There are several people who claim Letters of Pontius Pilate: Written During His Governorship of Judea to His Friend Seneca in Rome is the source of a letter from Pontius Pilate used by apologists.  This is demonstrably not true. 
The often quoted letter actually comes from the Acts of Pilate and is quoted in works before 1928: Houston, George (1827) The Correspondent Vol 1 pg 354-355; Clough, William Overton; (1880) Gesta Pilati University of Michigan ASIN: B0038QONFQ pgs 97-98;  Huidekoper, Frederic (1883) Indirect testimony of history of the genuineness of the Gospels. 4th ed pg pg 143-144.
Logically since the Letter is cited in works that predate the book the book can NOT be the source.  (This is why we don't use blogs from unknown authors as sources, people.)--216.31.124.240 (talk) 03:58, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: As the Catholic Encyclopedia says, there are several ancient but pseudographical (i.e. fabricated) "Letters" and "Reports" attributed to Pontius Pilate that can be found in the New Testament Apocrypha.

thread_title: Untitled

message: To use one of my late father's favorite words, this link Hundred Years of War against Germany is egregious and a violation of the rules around here, which do not permit anything to do with the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (CODOH) to be linked here. To start with, the article is plain wrong in its depiction of Britain from about 1895 onward working for the destruction of the Reich because of alleged envy at German economic success. Everything about that article is wrong from treating articles in The Saturday Review as expressions of British government policy (!), saying that Thomas More's novel 1513 novel  Utopia was the "handbook" for British foreign policy from the time of its publication to the present, and the Nuremberg war trials helped to turn Eastern Europe over to Soviet domination. The message of the this very stupid article is that Germany has been unfairly victimised by Britain since the 1890s, and that successive German leaders from Wilhelm II just really wanted to be friends, but those nasty British were intent on ruining everything for Germany. This is a pseudo-historical screed written by an Anglophobic German using the favorite methods of Holocaust deniers, namely very selective use of the historical documents without the slightest regard for context. Moving beyond, CODOH is an organisation whose sole purpose is to promote Holocaust denial. The rules around here say quite clearly that one cannot link to sites maintained by CODOH, the Institute for Historical Review, and any of the other Holocaust denying groups out there. Anything published by CODOH is by definition not scholarly and reliable, and astonishing, the link attached to this article from CODOH has been there since February 2006 without anybody noticing that something was wrong here. It is gone now, but really somebody should have noticed that something was wrong here long before I did --A.S. Brown (talk) 12:43, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  SNP candidate 

message: Note 4 on page 253 of Ron Culley's book reads:A common spelling of McRae's surname, particularly in the print media, is MacRae. However, his birth certificate shows his name as William McRea, his legal business was named 'Levy & McRae' and his death certificate presents his surname as McRae.
Both "McRae" and "MacRea" occur in the sources currently used in the article; however the BBC uses "McRae" and the "Scottish Eye"/Channel Four documentary's subtitles use "McRae". I believe the BBC carries the greatest weight here.
Interestingly, this Herald article uses "MacRae" in the headline, but "McRae" throughout the report. Newspaper headlines are written by subeditors, not the reporter (suggesting a careless subeditor on this occasion).
Based on the BBC source and Culley's note, together with other sources, I have moved the page to "Willie McRae", and changed "MacRea" to "McRae" throughout the article text.
