Talk:Boris Eikhenbaum

message: There are two common English spelling variants for his last name, "Eikhenbaum" and "Eichenbaum" I just expanded the article using the former. It seems to me to be a closer transliteration, gets slightly more google hits, and seems to be used more in the English language library catalogs. I am going to move the page to this spelling. Please discuss if you disagree. DVD 02:21, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Boris Khaikin

message: I have a question as to the English transliteration of this conductor's name on Wikipedia. As an avid record collector of many years, I have never seen BK transcribed "Khaykin" on sleeve notes, references or covers, which in my experience always read "Khaikin". That's certainly the usual spelling in the UK, USA and Germany: and the same is true for the English notes in Melodiya and Aquarius CD issues. Should "Khaikin" be used as the main entry, to avoid confusion? Any thoughts about this?? Zarzuelauk (talk) 08:05, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Baji Rao II

message: This concerns POV tag cleanup.  Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it.  This permits discussion and consensus among editors.  From WP tag policy: Drive-by tagging is strongly discouraged. The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies, namely Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Simply being of the opinion that a page is not neutral is not sufficient to justify the addition of the tag. Tags should be added as a last resort.  Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements.  This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags.  No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 19:00, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Barbarina Brand

message: There are letters in this publication  between Sawrey Gilpin and Barbarina Ogle, in which they both acknowledge their father / daughter relationship. The publication was edited by Barbarina's daughter, Charlotte Grey. Should the article not reflect this better than in a footnote, which leaves the matter so ambiguous? Not only that, but Barbarina inherited her artistic talents from Gilpin, and she became well-known in her own right. I think this article does not convey the true situation.  Gilpin was the art teacher engaged by her mother to teach her to paint, (who was herself a daughter of the Bishop of Winchester).Anne (talk) 17:30, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I would propose the following edit and seek guidance how best to include it: "That Barbarina corresponded with her real father, Gilpin, is clear from Gilpin’s letters, acknowledging their relationship and writing of their visits to one another. In one of his letters, written on 9 February 1800, Gilpin wrote to Barbaraina: “Remember me kindly to Mr. Wilmot and my little granddaughter. God bless you, my dear child. Your very affectionate father. S. Gilpin" Barbarina, Lady Grey, is Barbarina Brand's granddaughter, so the relationship must have been well known in the family. Ref.

It seems to have a lot of genuine content on Boake but has been peppered with adverts and the prose has had some very strange additions eg "Boake was also passionate about fixing up and remodeling houses"
and "The Intersection of Creativity and Functionality: How Poetry and Garage Door Repair Meet" and
"Boake’s poetry is inspired by his experiences as an explorer and a DIY enthusiast, both of which shape his use of language." (The third link on Charlie McKeahnie has same problem.) JennyOz (talk) 12:36, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Friedrich Halm

message: I think the title of the article should be changed to 'Friedrich Halm', as he was (and still is) almost universally known under that name as a (once) famous writer. After all, we don't entitle the entry on George Orwell 'Eric Blair' - although that was just as much his real name as Muench-Bellinghausen was Halm's.

Talk:Dimitri Riabouchinsky

message: This "Riabouchinsky solid" appears to be original research: I cannot find anything on it. And otherwise this concept was already found worthless at the end of the 19th or beginning of the 20th century, see d'Alembert's paradox and the references to Batchelor there. However, his contributions to fluid dynamics and physics were significant. In fluid dynamics for instance with respect to so-called cavity flows. -- Crowsnest (talk) 10:06, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Bartholomew Gugy

message: "Gugy was married twice, leaving children by his first wife only." This is incorrect. By Mary McGrath, Gugy had a single daughter, Leila, who married a telegraphist, James Geggie of Québec. They went on to have five children of whom their eldest daughter, Lois, and their two sons, Conrad and Harold, had issue. Their descendants live around the globe from New Zealand to Victoria, B.C.--the long way. The pedigree was compiled first by Leila before the Great War, and revised and updated by her grandson, Philip Alfred Conrad Chaplin, in the 1980s. The pedigree is in the copyright deposit of Library and Archives Canada and available through the Ottawa Public Library. If that can be viewed as authoritative enough, I will revise the "Family" section.

message: There is much that could be added to this article. Searching back issues of the NY Times shows that the fleet eventually became the favored immigration route to the US from Russia.
