Talk:Aurelian Townshend

message: I disagree with the B designation, as it doesn't really fit, but it's the nearest thing.  The reason that I felt that this article, in particular, was more than the general DNB distillate is that ... well ... it is.  The article represents all the fact we have on the fellow (from the DNB) and some of the uses/reception (from Frank Kermode and others), and so this article actually offers more than any print source that I know of (at least in Reference).  Aurelian Townshend is one of those Elizabethans that TS Eliot's generation rediscovered, but, for all their rediscovery, the man's life just drops off the map, and his literary remains are few and difficult to ascertain precisely.  Thus, as little as is here is the little there is (that I could find, anyway).  Geogre 17:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Arthur Hobhouse, 1st Baron Hobhouse

message: Is anyone aware if Lord (Arthur) Hobhouse is related to Lord (John) Hobhouse, also a judge in the House of Lords? --Legis (talk - contribs) 15:38, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I'll try to work it out. Arthur Hobhouse, 1st Baron Hobhouse was the uncle and guardian of Henry Hobhouse (East Somerset MP). Henry was the father of John Richard Hobhouse, the shipowner, who was the father of John Hobhouse, Baron Hobhouse of Woodborough. So, if I've counted right, Arthur was John's great-great-uncle (grandfather's uncle). I think it's a fair bet that any other notable Hobhouse will be related. DuncanHill (talk) 16:08, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  That's great, many thanks. I think it might be useful to update particularly the younger Hobhouse's page to reflect that. I don't suppose by any chance you have a single WP:RS we could point to for that link? --Legis (talk - contribs) 19:30, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  I worked it out from the ODNB articles - the Henry Hobhouse article says Arthur was his uncle and guardian, and that John Richard was his third son. The John Richard article says H of Woodborough was his son. Do you have ODNB access? If not then I can email pdfs of the articles to you, if you email me first through Wikipedia.

Talk:International School of Beaverton

message: Just cleaned up the article and removed or reworded what appeared to be a lot of advertising phrased as fact--or rather, "almost fact" because it discussed what the school could be if so and so went through rather than what it actually is. When your application goes through, change the Wiki page. It's unnecessary to tell us the school is in the process or maybe potentially still-applying-and-not-sure-yet making a change. 
Additionally, "ISB is unique in that it offers the much more advanced and rigorous IB program"? What is the implication here? IB is more rigorous than AP? This IB is more rigorous than other IB programs? IB is more rigorous than homeschooling? There are almost 2,400 schools with the IB program--how does this make ISB unique?
And it's embarrassing to see so many grammatical mistakes on a page about a school--I hope the people affiliated with this page aren't also teaching English there? I see the Beaverton School District hasn't changed much in the last few years.

thread_title:  This is an encyclopedia, not a newspaper ad. 

message: Yeah, it hadn't been updated in forever, and was mostly written by sixth graders, who see no importance in grammatical correctness. I cleaned it up, clarifying that ISB is the only school in the District to offer MYP and IB courses, that Student Council no longer exists, and has been replaced by student Parliament, I clarified the Jazz Band section, and wrote sections on the other extracurriculars that I knew about. 
The school did get accepted to IB, and I made changes to the article as a result.

On the other hand, the Russian front of WWI was a debacle and any news of Russian success or forward movement needs to be put in perspective.
