Talk:Torey Hayden

message: :MS: Did you have a nickname when you were in school?
:TH: Not really. My real first name is Victoria, so when I was little, I was called Vicki. I hated that name from the very start. It wasn’t “me”. Plus, it was a very popular name and one year there were five of us in my class alone! Since I was the only one whose full name was Victoria, I started going by Torey in my teens. I remember practicing different spellings for about six months before I settled on this one! 
:http://www.torey-hayden.com/interview.htm#7
The article starts "Torey Lynn Hayden (born May 21, 1951 in Livingston, Montana, USA)" and I didn't know where to stick her first name, exactly. It could go by her pen name, or after the word "born" (except who knows if Hayden is her birth name?), and she never spells out her middle name on her book covers or copyright pages (in the books).
The article could start out "Torey L. Hayden (Victoria Lynn Hayden, born May 21, 1951 in Livingston, Montana, USA)" but that still might make people think that's the name she was born with.
"Victoria Lynn Hayden, known as Torey L. Hayden (born May 21, 1951 in Livingston, Montana, USA)," might be good except she doesn't always use her middle initial. Her most recent books don't, which I suppose is the reason her Wikipedia page doesn't.
A-ha! On her research papers page http://www.torey-hayden.com/research.htm her name is Hayden, T. in 1980. I don't think she was married then, though I'm not positive. (I believe she wrote her first book soon after the events happened in 1979 and it was published the next year, and she was single in that book. Still doesn't prove that's her birth name [or legal name], though! I'm assuming it is, but it's not very encyclopedic to guess.)
I decided to be bold, though I'm more headachy than bold at the moment, and go with my last idea, but I think it looks oddly mismatched that the Wikipedia page name doesn't have the "L." and the text of the page does. 
And I don't know how to do a redirect page for if people try to look her up with the "L."

message: I am very disappointed that you still refer to Selective Mutism (SM) as "Elective". The title was changed at least 25 years ago by WHO to avoid the assumption that people with SM were choosing ("electing") not to speak, when in fact they have no control over the situation due to anxiety!
My 19 year old son would have LOVED to have had a choice & most definitely would have chosen to speak all through school, whereas the reality is, he spent 15 agonising years trying to overcome that fear!

replies: text: My person opinion is that the dates add value to this list as its such an old school and alumni sitting alongside one another in the list can have lived many centuries apart. These dates could eventually faciliate a reorganisation of the list into sub-lists by century (on one page or separate pages). Look at the lists of Old Etonians for example.--Abacchus1974 (talk) 20:50, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

message: See List Inclusion  above. Please note that  this is not  a general  list  of all  or any  alumni. Whether the former pupils have become historians, antiquarians, psychiatrists, etc,  or even got  a knighthood, does not  automatically  assert  notability, nor is it proof that  they attended the school. The critera for inclusion  in  this list  must  be fulfilled,  just  as they  must  be for List of Old Malvernians for example. --Kudpung (talk) 05:53, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There are still lots of red linked pages which need checking for notability ...and that the respective person actually went to the school.

Talk:St Michael and All Angels, Middlewich

message: The simple appearance of the name of Thomas Langley, vicar of Middlewich in 1646, does not do the man justice! Thomas Langley arrived in Middlewich in 1608, and was an enthusiastic presbyterian and Puritan. As such, he was periodically expelled from the church, only to re-appear a few years later. He was associated with other famous Puritan preachers including Simon Ashe, John Angier and Henry Newcome. He was, of course, welcomed back into the church with open arms during the Commonwealth. He died in 1657, and the parish register for that year notes that he had been minister for 48 years. His son, Samuel Langley, started out as vicar of Swettenham, near Middlewich, but then moved on to spend most of his life as vicar of St. Editha's church, Tamworth, where he, too, became a famous preacher.

Talk:John Parker (pioneer)

message: Hi GringoInChile, I'm contesting speedy deletion because I believe that this person is notable enough to deserve his own bio.
He certainly meets WP:BIO: "Persons achieving renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events": he was the central figure in one of the most significant encounters of its type in that period of Texan history, following shortly after the Battle of the Alamo, and the site of the massacre has been restored at what must have been great expense.
The question in my mind is whether he deserves his own article, or whether this article should be merged in to Fort Parker massacre.  The reason I created a separate page was because I was disambiguating links to the varioys John Parkers listed in Wikipedia:Find-A-Grave famous people/P, and there was an entry for his dude, so I thoughtb that I would create the article at least for now, and see if anyone wanted to expand it.
My own preference would be to put an  tag on it, and if it doesn't grow in  a few months, to not delete it, but merge to Fort Parker massacre, with a redirect to that page.  I can see a case for doing that now, but I'd prefer to wait; if you disagree, please use AFD.
But either way, please do not just delete it. --BrownHairedGirl 10:12, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I would think a well-functioning social network would provide emotional support, otherwise it wouldn't be "well-functioning". Maybe some re-wording might help here. If a person is emotionally isolated in a well-functioning social support system, there is something else going on that this definition is missing. --DanielCD (talk) 16:26, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
