message: There are coverups of assassination attempts on US and other nation's presidents all the time, yet I don't see anyone here attempting to cast them as "a classic example of obfuscation and disinformation."  It just seems as though the editor is taking what would otherwise be a pretty typical event and making it seem different because it happened in the Soviet Union and fits a narrative.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.48.224.74 (talk) 03:12, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: As the editor who wrote that, I'd say that I'm not trying to "cast" things in any particular color. It is simply a fact that the virtual news blackout regarding the assassination attempt was regarded as a coverup by most Western (at least English-speaking) observers. It is described as such not only in the two sources cited, but in most of the other references as well. The article text neither supports nor denies this interpretation, but only points out that it has been a commonly-held view. SteveStrummer (talk) 03:51, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Talk:William Giffard

message: Twice now in comments it has been mentioned "MOS says use last name". That is not exactly correct. The MOS states, "After the initial mention of any name, the person should be referred to by surname only, without an honorific…"
It also states, "where a person does not have a surname… then the proper form of reference is usually the given name." The only example given for the above was a patronymic, however, a sobriquet, which names of that period often were, and Giffard was, would be the same situation. The point is, the time period in which Walter lived predates the custom of using surnames (i.e. last names, hereditary surnames) in England and Normandy. In addition, prelates did not typically use surnames even after they became customary. By using his given name in this context it did comply with MOS and so was not a mistake. Bearpatch (talk) 16:56, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Can I ask you to start using edit summaries, please? You obviously see mine, but never ever use them yourself. It's very annoying, I never know what has been done and end up having to check all the edits you do on articles I've got watchlisted. As for the "last name" issue - all the rest of the article uses "Giffard" - so your point above isn't exactly convincing... I could see going with all "William" although most other articles in this time frame are fine with using patronymics or sobriquets, partly because it seems every other male in Anglo-Norman history is named William. It's the same problem with all the Matildas - if you use the last name/patronymic/sobriquet, there is less confusion about which person is intended. But if you insist on changing it to "William" please be consistent throughout the article not just one change while leaving all the other Giffards. Ealdgyth - Talk 17:07, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not insisting, just recommending we go by the MOS in this instance, specifically WP:Surname. Since there is no surname here, I think we can agree on William, and yes, unfortunately, it is a common Norman name. Therefore, Bishop William would seem to be an appropriate alternative in some sentences. In the case of Ranulf Flambard, a contemporary of William Giffard, subsequent reference to him is appropriately by his given name. And yes, in that article his sobriquet is translated whereas in William's article it is not. I'll see what I can do re: summaries here. I'm not much of a fan because it's all too easy to unintentionally sound curt, snide or otherwise be insulting to other editors.Bearpatch (talk) 19:36, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Though this article is factual, it appears to be a word for word a duplication of the biography of Mr Hardy on the city of Gulfport, Mississippi's web site William H Hardy.
Even though this article is fine for Gulfport's web page about one of the city's founding fathers, it needs to be wikified at the very least.

Talk:E. Temple Thurston

message: Having been a major contributor to this page, though not its creator, further research has led me to question the opening paragraph of the original page. If T-T was born in 1879 then he was 16 in 1895 when he had a book of poems published - so far so good - and (according to the Wikipedia page) had his first novel published 2 years later (which would be 1897). However his first novel was not published until 1905, according to the Wikipedia page itself AND the British Library. So we have an discrepancy of EIGHT YEARS. I find it hard to credit that he had a book published at 16 - I can find no record of it anywhere. Can anyone help? Any suggestions?Picknick99 (talk) 20:17, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: As a native English speaker knowing very little Italian I have no problem at all with Italian names for local items, such as languages or dialects of limited regional scope. English does not automatically Anglicise every non-English word; in fact, unless there is an established precedent, English speakers prefer to learn to pronounce the original or at least try. It has a sort of an open flexibility, which is what keeps all these English dictionaries in business. Moreover, Wikipedia is not in the standardization business - it can't take on the task of devising Anglicised words for the public where there aren't any.

message: The origin refers to 7500 BC. The Pakistani state did not exist at the time. And it talks about areas that are part of both Pakistan and India. If you have a problem with the usage of general terms such as Indian subcontinent or South Asia, then "eventually the area that is modern day Pakistan" can be used in the first instance, and just Pakistan in all subsequent ones, though South Asia or northwestern Indian subcontinent is naturally the better option in my opinion.
