message: President Obama's support website http://radio.barackobama.com/ has "Calling Tips" for supporter (i.e., "Seminar Callers"). 
CALLING TIPS
* Be polite, respectful, and clear. Remember, you representing Organizing for America.
* How radio stations will connect you will depend on the show. Some radio shows may connect you right away, but most will take your name and basic info and put you on hold. You may or may not be able to hear the broadcast on the show while you're waiting. You may hear the radio host say something like, "Hello, we have your name on the line with us."
* Some hosts may challenge your views. Stay calm and firm.
* If you can't get through, don't worry! If the show you call is busy or not accepting calls at the moment you call in, simply click "Give me another show" to find another.

Talk:António de Spínola

message: The more common use of the word "rendition" in the English language, is connected to musical performance, art, drawing and so on. Although judicially, the term is used to denote "handing over" of property or prisioners for example, the nuances can be lost in translation when applying the original source meaning of certain words common in various languages, but with at least, slightly different meanings in coloquial usages. In this case, I feel the literal translation from Portuguese "render or rendeu" is in itself as inedequate as if the Portuguese said for example; "the singer 'surrendered' a magnificent performance tonight" or "this artist 'surrendered' a unique composition".
I believe, the use for example of something to this effect; "Marcelo Caetano surrendered" control of the Portuguese government to Gen. de Spínola, etc etc... would better place the correct meaning of the actual historical event in the mind of the Anglo/Saxon reader.

message: See From WP:NCNT#Other_non-royal_names#4:
:Baronets, as they hold hereditary titles, often for a large part of their lives, follow the same practice as hereditary peers and should have their title noted in the beginning of the article. The format is Sir John Smith, 17th Baronet. For the article title, this format should only be used when disambiguation is necessary; otherwise, the article should be located at John Smith. John Smith, 17th Baronet should never be used with the postfix and without the prefix.
Therefore this articles name should be changed.--Ginggangsgoolies 20:44, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I added the paragraph about the finding of Childeric's tomb. I don't think it requires a new section; at this point in history, antiquarian research/appreciation/etc. falls within the realm of patronage of the arts, there not yet being any independent discipline of archaeology, much less one organized on a scientific basis.

Talk:Archibald Bulloch

message: In the box at the bottom of the article it mentions that Archibald Bulloch was Governor of Georgia from 1776-1777 and that George Walton preceded him. Is this correct? First, Bulloch was President and Commander-in-Chief from 1776-1777 when, upon signing the state constitution on February 20, 1777, he was made Governor -- as stated in the article. Secondly, in regard to George Walton, his article states that he was governor in 1779. Can someone verify which really came first? Reb 13:14, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Edited the article in light of information from articles on Archibald Bulloch and George Walton at the New Georgia Encyclopedia which confirms that Walton was elected governor after Bulloch, though Walton did become President of the Council of Safety prior to Bulloch's becoming President and then Governor of the State.

Talk:Noel Skelton

message: The current version of the page asserts that Constructive Conservatism (1924) "had a lasting influence, particularly among younger Tory MPs". Did it? I would suggest not, and that although this is an easy mistake to make, it's easy to demonstrate that this claim is wrong.
1. Who were these "younger Tory MPs"? Many of them were the "young men" who had returned from the trenches and to Parliament in the 1922 general election. Yet many had been elected for the first time in 1910 and 1911. Given that 1924 was _not_ the first time that they were expressing ideas along the lines that Skelton had advocated, it would seem to suggest that they had actually held these views much earlier.
2. The views set out in Constructive Conservatism in 1924 (and in Spectator in summer 1923) had strong consistencies with earlier statements of policy, and even pre-war statements. Note, for example, the reports of the Unionist Social Reform Committee, 1911 - 1917, or contributions to the Morning Post following defeat in 1906.
3. The kind of "property-owning democracy" that Skelton advocated was very different to that subsequently advocated by Eden etc. He was actually referring to industrial co-partnership and advocated strong industrial harmony, something that had been advocated by Edward Wood in 1914 in The Great Opportunity and on numerous occassions by Lord Salisbury.
So it would be more accurate to see Constructive Conservatism as a SYMPTOM of a longstanding debate of Conservative ideas. 
I could change the Wikipedia entry, but I'm new to all this. I post here first in case it's good manners to suggest a change and get feedback before you alter anything.

thread_title:  Constructive Conservatism 

message: Also: "His thinking on property ownership as the fundamental basis of modern conservatism proved particularly attractive, and Anthony Eden personally revived the phrase as a political slogan at the 1946 Conservative Party conference."
 This is just plain inaccurate. Anyone who has even made a cursory read of Constructive Conservatism would be aware that the idea of "property ownership" as advocated was not "revived" by Eden but fundamentally reshaped. So his legacy in this respect is vastly overstated.
I'm supported in this view by Skelton's biographer in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.

message: There is a reference supporting the identification of her father Dallas Bower, given in Debrett 2000, as the film director Dallas Bower: Burke's Peerage 1956 at p.2157 states that she was "elder dau. of Dallas Bower of 69 Brook Street, W1." That London address is for the Savile Club, indeed associated with that Dallas Bower. His Guardian obituary states that he was "celebrated as the most faithful, virtually resident, member of the Savile Club". 
I was puzzled as to whether Pamela Karen Bower was the screenwriter Pamela Bower. According to IMDb that is Pamela Wilcox Bower, daughter of Herbert Wilcox and Maud Bower: so a different person.
