I have assessed the article against the criteria for B-class. It could probably do with the reference for the rebuilding of Wakefield Road bridge, but otherwise satisfies these criteria, so I am rating it B-class. Bob1960evens (talk) 17:51, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Elizabeth Singer Rowe

message: I located and uploaded two images to Wikimedia: 
1) The title page of Rowe's Devout Exercises of the Heart in Meditation and Soliloquy, Prayer and Praise, published in 1737.
2) The article "The Life of Mrs. Elizabeth Row" that appeared in the The Gentleman's Magazine, published in May 1739.
Both of these images are important because it provides context for the work that Row wrote and the work written about Rowe. LesBrooks (talk) 20:35, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Images Added to Article 

message: These improvements are wonderful. I think the paragraph on her influence on the novel needs some revising. This is one sentence: "Recently, scholars have interpreted Rowe as a pivotal figure in the development of the English novel: Rowe borrowed stock characters and situations from the late 17th and early 18th century French and Italian romances popular in England, transforming the outward struggles to save the body of the heroine from seducers, to saving the mind and soul of the heroine from the corrupt world through the virtuous self-control that results from contemplation, thus sealing the plot trajectory of subsequent fiction as evidenced in later novels such as Eliza Haywood's Betsy Thoughtless, Samuel Richardson's Clarissa and Frances Burney's Cecilia. [2]"  It would read better with shorter sentences. LLRungegordon (talk) 23:10, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

I discovered that this edit is an almost verbatim copy of part of the About Ellen page of the author's own website: http://www.ellenwittlinger.com/about.html

Talk:Elsa Gidlow

message: Hello?  Anybody else read this article?   I just added a line that could easily be "original work" as I made a statement about her autobiography writing history that was rarely recorded.  I know this to be true as I once did a survey of lesbian writings of the early part of the century in the U.S., but my work isn't published.  Anybody know a source that acknowledges the remarkable contribution of this woman?--Ftord1960 (talk) 02:21, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You've made 20 edits, so I would have to go through all of them to uncover what you are referring to here.  However, if I had to guess, you are talking about the line "Her autobiography, Elsa, I Come With My Songs: The Autobiography of Elsa Gidlow gives a personal and detailed account of her life seeking, finding and creating a life with other lesbians at a time when little was recorded on the topic."

Talk:Bello Maitama Yusuf

message: Naziru a n c  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 105.112.112.113 (talk) 19:38, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

message: In 1976, Bello Maitama embarked on a political journey, aligning with the National Party of Nigeria (NPN). His foray into politics originated during university days at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, where he emerged as a prominent student leader. Establishing connections with the late Malam Aminu Kano, he actively contributed to the dissemination of Aminu Kano's political ideologies.
Upon joining the NPN, Bello Maitama secured his first political role as a councillor appointed by the old Kano State Government. The prevailing system featured a mix of elected and nominated councillors, with Bello representing the combined Gwaram and Birnin Kudu Local Government.
His dedication to political activism faced a hurdle during university years when he distributed Aminu Kano's political literature across campuses. This drew university authorities' disapproval, almost leading to dismissal for engaging in party politics beyond campus confines.
This early period marked the initiation of Bello Maitama's politicking antecedents, laying the foundation for a more extensive and enduring political career.
Bello Maitama was one of the founding members of the defunct National Party Nigeria (NPN). During a period when political activities were prohibited due to a military ban, Northern leaders with shared objectives, including D. S Tarka and others, convened in Kano to forge a united front. Maitama, then a young man, hosted clandestine meetings at his house in Tarauni.
Prominent figures present at these meetings included Aliyu Makaman Bidda, Aminu Kano, Inuwa Wada, Umaru Dikko, Adamu Ciroma, Sola Saraki, Shehu Shagari, Yahaya Konde, Sule Gaya, Professor Iya Abubakar, and Yusuf Maitama Sule, among others. The collective decision was to establish a political entity named the National Movement of Nigeria.Subsequently relocating to Lagos, the group formalized its structure with Aliyu Makaman Bidda as interim national chairman and Adamu Ciroma as secretary.
Despite initial unity, fissures emerged upon return to Kano. A disagreement arose regarding Aminu Kano's role as the publicity secretary of NMN, leading to the formation of a new political party – the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP). Bello Maitama, troubled by this development, foresaw potential challenges to the northern sense of brotherhood and unity.
Efforts were made to mediate, with Bello Maitama approaching Alhaji Aminu Dantata, who pleaded with Aminu Kano to preserve the unity of the Northern region. However, within a week, the news broke that PRP was established, with Aminu Kano as its leader. Despite political differences, the era witnessed a degree of camaraderie, with symbolic jests exchanged between NPN and PRP, emphasizing provisions of food and shelter associated with their respective party symbols. 148.252.147.169 (talk) 06:10, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Malcolm Smith (American politician)

message: It should be noted that it is assumed that Smith will become majority leader; however, there are Democrats opposing this measure, bringing the number of votes for Smith to 29, so unless some Republicans vote for him and join the Democratic Caucus, that would make the vote below 30, which is not enough for a majority; the other possibility is dissenting Democrats vote for him at the end of the day.  Also, corrected is when his minority leadership terminates; the article claimed 2008, it ends in 2009, regardless if he becomes Majority leader or not, which is when the new minority leader takes office.  However, it is technically possible for him to stay minority leader if the GOP so chooses.  Pigs would sooner fly though.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.247.102.31 (talk) 04:59, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure why chocolatepizza would want to delete this page. Nadler is surely a high-profile and very controversial Jewish scholar and rabbi. His quarrels with the Lubavitchers alone merit an article, since his criticisms anticipated Rabbi Berger's work by  10 years !

Wikipedia is wonderful, but uneven. Often there are articles about institutions that are obviously written by their own PR department.
