Talk:Yamashina Mido

message: This article was written by User:LordAmeth and contributed to both the Samurai-Archives Wiki and Wikipedia; the author gives permission for his work to be used in this way. This should not be regarded as a copyright violation by either site against the other.
On request motivation for assessing this article as stub. 
* More useful links for readers who have no knowldge of the Japanese period should be provided.
** The article addresses only the history of the temple. Some information on how it looked like; why these temples where built like fortresses would make it much more meaningful
** The article as stand alone is not very informative for someone who does not know anything about Budhist temples or the Japanese history of the time. Some more context should be given.
** Also, as it is about a building, some attention should be paid to the architecture of the temple (or if it is a standard design, it should be referred to a place where the reader can find architure information. 
* The article would benefit from a useful picture or graphic (for example a print or drawing from the temple, anarchaelogical survey, or even a sketch of a map)
* There is currently only one subheading, "history", there some context information sections should be at least sketched (e.g. "background" - why where these temples built in that time
* Also try to find more sources than only one, and try to provide inline references
I hope these comments help developing the article. Arnoutf 14:48, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Port Huron Project

message: My name is Maggie, and I am a student who was recently involved with the Port Huron Project. I went on wikipedia trying to discover further background information on the project, but no results came up. As such I attempted to post information about the project beginning yesterday, 30 July 2007.
Because I was unfamiliar with the rules, and tried to post hastily, I mistakenly created an account using the name of the Port Huron Project, and the name of its creator Mark Tribe. However, I myself am the creator of the page. As is evident from the article's neutrality, and the omission of mine or other supporters' roles in the project, it is not self-promotion.
The information that I posted on the site should remain because it is a powerful performance art piece that has been able to reach a very diverse audience. The subject matter around which it focuses  is valid and important to the history of the American political landscape, and the links and sources connected to the page will help further educate the Wikipedia community on the various historic activists that the project documents.

Talk:Peter Bocage

message: With reference to  the 31 July date seems to have come from Bocage himself per an interview I found. That may explain why it's all over as I think this interview is quite significant since it was fairly wide ranging and by historians.  That doesn't mean the date is right, but it's all over in books. I added one by Colin Larkin  since they may be a subject matter expert but frankly a search on Google Books or whatever finds plenty more including stuff from 1968 etc. The 4 August date seems a lot less common. I have no idea where that date came from (but it does seem to have predated us, at least Google suggests it appears in ), but as said wouldn't be surprised it the 31 date mostly came from the interview and probably also the fact if that's the date he gave in the interview that's probably also the date Bocage gave whenever people asked, and is probably the date he believed was his birthdate; and of course repetition from Bocage giving that date. I don't really care what happens (including simply remove the date) but agree we cannot rely in a birth certificate. If there is some reliable secondary source which specifically comments on the birthdate and says they investigated and found out X date is correct, IMO we should go with that no matter if the 31 July appears in a lot of sources. (Unless we find a source which says the same for the 31st date.) But others may disagree. Nil Einne (talk) 20:37, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Thinking about it a bit more, I wonder if 4 August could be the date of baptism, as I believe it may have still been common for baptism to occur within days of birth at the time. Nil Einne (talk) 20:56, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

text: although we cannot source his birth date directly to the birth certificate, since Bocage died a long time ago and so WP:BLPPRIVACY concerns do not arise, it may still be helpful if you could provide details on it, especially if the date is neither 4 August or 31 July (although even confirming which date you believe it is would be helpful) or otherwise contradicts what is already on Wikipedia. Potentially such details may help us in the search for reliable secondary sources. Alternatively, you could try contacting those who've published the 31 July date if it's wrong, and provide them with your research and see if they would be willing to issue a correction (likely based on their own research/confirmation). A correction from a reliable secondary source would likely be sufficient for us to change the date. Nil Einne (talk) 05:16, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

thread_title: Wikitext conversion is an inherently flawed approach

message: This template, when used inside an Infobox at the top of an article, breaks the tooltip preview mechanism when the cursor hovers over a link to said article.  Instead of seeing a preview of the article, all one gets is a tiny rectangle about the size of the cursor with no text or images inside.

thread_title:  B-class review 

message: There is an additional source in a footnote of a publication by Jeffrey Burds. 
The CIC Special Agent Herbert Bechtold, writes about Shandruk on 2 November 1948, according to Jeffrey Burds: The Early Cold War in Soviet West Ukraine, 1944–1948. Carl Beck Papers in Russian & East European Studies Number 1505. The Center for Russian and East European Studies, University of Pittsburgh, 2001, p.6 FN 76: 
... Shandruk had been chief of police for the Imperial Russian government in Poltava, 
Ukraine, until World War I. After 1917, he became adjutant to Petliura, then worked for Polish 
Military Counter-intelligence, concentrating his activities in Volhynia. “By 1937 Shandruk 
was working as a double-agent for both Germans and Poles. . . . After the collapse of Poland 
he began working for the intelligence section of the Gestapo, and was thus instrumental in the 
denunciation of many Polish ex-ofﬁcers and partisans hiding from the Germans.” While he was 
commander of the Ukrainian SS-Galicia Division from 1943 to 1945, Shandruk made repeated 
overtures to U.S. and British intelligence: “Shortly before the German capitulation he [Shandruk] 
sent Colonel SMOVSKI-RAYEVSKI to establish contact with G-2 of the opposing American 
forces . . . for negotiations concerning a merger of forces and a continuation of hostilities against their Soviet allies.” Shandruk’s adjutant was arrested, and he was forced to disband his army. 
Throughout the next few years Shandruk made repeated overtures to British Intelligence, without 
success. In 1947, through the Ataman of the Kuban Cossacks Ivanyshyn, Shandruk proposed to 
recruit a Ukrainian guerrilla force of six thousand  for a downpayment of a mere ﬁ ve hundred 
British pounds, but was again refused. “SHANDRUK has been more successful with American 
authorities, because from one agency he received a sum of 30,000 RM for the organization of 
an intelligence net. . . . [H]owever, the money was squandered and nothing was accomplished.” 
Secret report of CIC Special Agent Herbert Bechtold, Region IV, dated 2 November 1948.

It would be helpful to see for additional info in the Polish Wikipedia pages on him and about the SS Division Galicia.
