message: When I have had time to check out all the references, I may add the following information:
Some information about the famous Good Samaritan study  - see  Darley and Batson's (1973) paper in "Journal of Personality and Social Psychology"
Some information about Greenwald's challenge to this study.
This study gets quoted in many textbooks as a study in which theology students who were asked to prepare a talk on the Good Samaritan were no more likely to stop to help a person in need of aid than those asked to prepare a talk on a different topic. However,  two years later, Anthony Greenwald's article in  "Journal of Personality and Social Psychology" challenged this popular view, pointing out that if the data collected by Darley and Batson were analysed using Bayesian statistics, a significant difference WOULD be found. If this correct information gets into Wikipedia, it would exemplify how Wikipedia has presented information which is sadly lacking from many textbooks! ACEOREVIVED 20:39, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Hm. That's right. The German police arrested him at the border to Denmark, but he was handed over to the Swiss police at Lörrach. I don't really have the time right now, but I've found a couple of good sources and will expand that 1970s/80s part tonight. And yes, a photograph would be most appreciated. I've found two on the web (one from before the restoration), but since I know you're in Zürich and could easily take such a picture, I can't really claim "fair use" on them. Side note: according to the Swiss copyright law, §27, "works at or on publically accessible places or ground may be pictured, and the picture may be offered for sale, sold, transmitted, or otherwise distributed. The picture must not be three-dimensional, and it must not be possible to use the picture for the same purpose as the original." Hence the only copyright on such an image that we'd have to worry about would be the photographer's. Lupo 12:14, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:West Malling

message: I'm not sure I believe this:
:The first recorded cricket match in Great Britain was played on West Malling's cricket pitch. The event was visited by Charles Dickens.
There are cricket matches recorded in the 18th century and even earlier (see History of Cricket for example), while Charles Dickins wasn't born until 1812!  I know the source cited is the BBC, but it's an article written by (I presume) a local resident introducing "Where I Live", so probably wasn't thoroughly verified.  Sounds a bit like Chinese Whispers to me!  --RFBailey 12:09, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cricket match 

message: As a local(ish) resident, I think there is a lot more that could be said about West Malling - the current article leaves a lot to be desired. I have made a start with a separate section for the airfield, and a new section about transport. I will arrange for some images over the next few weeks, and will try to bring a better structure to the article.  
The skeleton I have in mind is something like: 
*physical description
**town hill
**high Street
**street market
**brewery
*history
*particular historic buildings
**Abbey
**church
**St Leonards Tower
**Ford House
*historic people associated with the town
*events
**magical mystery tour
**cricket
*transport and communications
**the airfield
**road
**rail
*Kings Hill

Also, as Cannon Street and London Bridge are no longer destinations from West Malling they should be removed from the list of destinations in the first sentence of this section.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.140.121.246 (talk) 01:09, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Someone with knowledge or access to papers on the phylogeny of the superfamily should check the relevant sections. Shyamal 03:51, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The placement of the moth-butterflies within the Papilionoidea has no support (no synapomorphies). They must just hang in there in limbo somewhere within the Rhopalocera. The skippers (Hesperiidae) and true butterflies (Papilionoidea) are sister groups. Within the Papilionoidea, the Papilionidae are the sister group to the rest. Lycaenidae and Riodinidae are sister groups, and the group (Lycaenidae+Riodinidae) is the sister group to the Nymphalidae. Pieridae, then, is the sister group to ((Lycaenidae+Riodinidae)+Nymphalidae). Do you want the current reading on Nymphalidae subfamilies? As I wrote in the article, all except Morphinae and Satyrinae are well supported. Everything looks OK and ready for the next better-supported hypothesis to knock everything once again in the trash. The new world classification of butterflies is expected this year (2008), but Lamas' 2008 paper (cited in the article) gives a hint of what will be proposed. When that paper is published, we can revisit this article. In the meantime, someone could safely make a cladogram of the Papilionoidae. BTW, I think the expert template should be placed on the article page (not that I am that much of an expert). --Wloveral (talk) 22:58, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Olive Schreiner

message: In its current state, this article relies heavily on the work of one scholar, Karel Schoeman. While his work on Schreiner is important in the historiography, there has been more recent scholarship on Schreiner that reveals a different narrative from the one presented here.

These include misspellings of names, incomplete family information (her 2 sisters are not mentioned), incorrect personal details, and a lack of diverse sources.

message: Here is way I reverted Esteffect's edits:
# Stanstead does not exist, so "was a federal electoral district" works perfectly well: the past tense is commonly used to describe something that existed in the past. "Is a former" is a different, les direct way of saying that. "Stanstead electoral district" is no longer anyting -- it does not exist. 
# The Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Usage of links for date preferences says that we should not link years, unless they are part opf a complete date, when it is done to enable user date format preference.
# Stanstead was never active in the House of Commons. It was an inanimate object. The electoral district was a chunk of territory outlined on a map that just sat there quite oblivious to the fact that it was represented in the House of Commons.
