Talk:John Stevenson (scriptwriter)

message: Is this by any chance the same John Stevenson who worked for Merlin magazine in the 50's? That might be part of his "journalism" experience. I ask because I am trying to find out if he is also the same John Stevenson who wrote under the pen name Marcus Van Heller ?
As one clue I read an interview with Van Heller saying his (then yet unpublished) autobiography was titled "The Marcus Van Heller Legend" but the only reference to that title I have found is an article by that exact name in the now defunct Zembla magazine (Issue #6) but I have not been able to find a copy of that yet.
Another (less helpful) clue is that in another interview Van Heller said he worked for the British Civil Service ("... press officer for the Central Office of Information.") after returning to the UK from France. Did the Stevenson of this article do that ? 159.83.196.1 (talk) 22:25, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Years active

message: The article included one item, The Twins, which is a link to a disambiguation page, which I just removed.  It is not supported by Stocker's IMDB page.  Perhaps his role as one of the twins Thomson and Thompson in the 1991-1992 TV series was meant?
I arrived here because of the ambiguous link.  Offhand I do not understand the sourcing for the list or what is its order.  If its order is by date, then year-dates should be shown.  I added a bit more with footnote to IMDB about the The Adventures of Tintin (TV series) item. --doncram 22:41, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Talk:John Swan (Bermudian politician)

message: This article must be one of the most overtly POV biographies of politicans.  It could almost have been written by Swan's PR team.  I suggest that it be re-written to be more neutral.  Also why is he called a British-Bermudian?  There is nothing said about his background at all.  I always thought he was simply a Bermudian.  Swan is an old Bermudian family.  Or is the use of "British" meant to imply that he is of British extraction?  If that is the case this is wrong - and racist.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.15.138 (talk) 21:28, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:John Tanton

message: My familiarity with Mr. Tanton's work is mostly passing, and I don't share any particular allegiance to him one way or another. My personal political views tend towards more pro-immigration and are opposed to any form of eugenics, for what that's worth. Abiding by the principle of "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence," this article lacks the measured and objective tone that Wikipedia should be known for. If this were a court of law, most of the descriptions of Mr. Tanton would be rejected as, at best, hearsay, and worst, defamation. 
The Southern Poverty Law Center, for whatever its merits, must not be given any more weight than other organizations lest Wikipedia risk engaging in the practice of selective commentary and not as a neutral provider of information. In an effort to find more about this person, I decided to look at what he actually said. His own publications are completely the opposite of how he is described in this article. For example, he states plainly that he is more than ok with "diversity." A white supremacist simply would not be; that's kind of their thing. 
Now, you may argue that he is not credible and merely attempting to deceive, but that is to be left to the "jury" of our peers, namely our readers. Before I embark on an effort to re-write this article to be more fair and accurate, I want to make sure the original writers and editors have a moment to comment on the record. 
My specific recommendations would be (1) to make it clearer that "white supremacist" is an accusation leveled as a form of "guilt by association" by one organization and explicitly denied by the man himself; (2) to describe his activities as "immigration restrictionist" rather than "anti-immigration" since that is misleading and doesn't capture the nuances of his opinion; (3) drop the "white nationalist" description from the top. 
For those of you genuinely concerned with white nationalism and believing, contrary to my own opinion, that Wikipedia should be providing editorial insight and not attempt neutrality, the over-use and misapplication of that label dilute its value and creates an increasing insensitivity to the label. Don't cry wolf.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aharburg (talk • contribs) 17:37, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

message: Taylor is a baron and therefore has the honorific of The Right Honourable. This not linked with be a member of the Privy Counsel which is indicated with the post-nom of "PC" in peers.

replies: text: Thank you for the ping. By virtue of being a baron in the peerage of the UK Taylor is entitled to the style 'The Right Honourable'. When writing to a peer that is not a member of the privy council, 'The Right Honourable' is simply truncated to 'The'. I think that this may be the source of contention. Equally, you would not write an invitation to 'His Grace the Duke of Devonshire'. You'd just say 'The Duke of Devonshire, [postnominals]'. (Debretts). I would leave the style in the infobox.
