Talk:Ronald Stuart

message: hello.  the birth certificate of Ronald Stuart records his middle name as NIEL. But, his father's first name, usually spelled NEIL within the family, is also recorded on the certificate as NIEL. it would appear that the NIEL spelling was an error by the Registrar on the birth certificate.Scom46 (talk) 10:16, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Since this article is featured on the front page (last time I checked), and since we've had persistant vandalism, I think someone needs to semi-protect the article (I'm new here, so I don't know the procedure particularely well). There has been three instances in the past hour by multiple users.
In addition, I think someone should add the ((subst:uw-vandalism1|Ronald_Niel_Stuart)) header to the page. I'm holding off for more vandalism before I post it. The Legacy (talk) 19:37, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Frequent Vandalism 

message: Throughout the article, including its title, his second name is variously spelled "Neil" or "Niel", as acknowledged ina footnote; this proceeds even to the point of the "Sr." and "Jr." having different spellings.  The reason given seems trivial.  Can't the inconsistencies be reconciled (and one version used in this article)?  As it is, it just seems like repeated foolish errors on the part of different authors.  Which it may well be.

thread_title:  Name inconsistency 

message: The main problem with the recent change is that you are leaving in the existing footnote to Snelling's book, which if you chagne the information that it appears to refer to is misleading.  If there are contradictions between sources, we need to discuss them here, and work out how to present those differences. It's not immediately obvious to me why that genealogy site would actually qualify as a reliable source, whereas as Snelling's book more obviously meets the criteria.

replies: text: Thanks for the info, the problem is we're rather hamstrung by some of Wikipedia's policies, the reliable sources one I mentioned above, and verifiability, we really need published sources - I don't doubt you are who you say you are, but unfortunatley there's nothing to stop anyone else making the same claim.  I'm having trouble getting intot he genealogical site at the moment, I'll try again later, even if it's not reliable in itself (so far as Wikipedia is concerned), it may point me in the right direction to find confirmation in the General Register Office indices, obviously a Liverpool marriage would appear in thsoe, whilst one in Montreal would not.
