Talk:Ruth Padel

message: The first line of the article puts her birth date on May 8th, while the biographic info in the box on the right says its August 5th.--Spevo51 (talk) 22:15, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed the month and days of each. I suspect there was a mixup when the person added the infobox way back in February, as 8 and 5 were reversed, but until there's a cite, both should stay out. --Izno (talk) 23:13, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Date of Birth 

message: This is a topic which is in the news as of today (May 26 2009), due to her resignation. It has been covered on news broadcasts today on Radio 4, and is being covered on the BBC website. So, should it have the tag that states that an item is in the news heading the page? ACEOREVIVED (talk) 19:50, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The in the news refered to the article being "in the news" secton on the wikipedia home page and the "in the news" section page. The fact that she resigned, from what I can see, has not appeared in the "in the news" section on wikipedia and thus no new tag should be added. --RossF18 (talk) 16:15, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Does this needs the news tag?

message: In 2009, Nobel Prize laureate Derek Walcott, a leading candidate for the position of Oxford Professor of Poetry, withdrew his candidacy after an article in the Sunday Times stated that pages discussing cases of alleged sexual harassment laid against him in US campusses had been sent to a number of Oxford academics. The University subsequently elected Padel. Padel resigned when newspapers, printing an email in which she had acknowledged that some voters at Oxford were uneasy about this record of harassment allegations, alleged this as evidence that Padel was involved in activities against Walcott. Press handling of the affair was criticized in letters of support for both poets to papers including The Times, the Times Literary Supplement and the Guardian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.36.109.186 (talk) 17:41, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
