message: There reads: English was the first Japanese-born Playmate
However, according to Okinawa: After the end of World War II in 1945, Okinawa was under United States administration for 27 years. So Okinawa was under American control in 1947. It is Japan now, though. 85.217.23.70 (talk) 10:16, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Francis Dashwood, 11th Baron le Despencer

message: There is an hour-long talk available on-line in which the editor of The British Art Journal, Robin Simon, gives a nice overview of Dashwood's life and times through Hogarth's portrait: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/event.asp?PageId=45&EventId=798 I think that this would be very nice addition to this page.

thread_title:  Baronetcy 

message: Apologies if I offended anybody by deleting stuff about Thomas Knight yesterday. Perhaps I was a bit hasty. It's just that I have been reading Stafford Linsley's "Ports and Harbours of Northumberland" recently, especially chapter 11 on Seaton Sluice and Hartley. It is clear from that that John Delaval and his brothers had a major economic impact which wasn't and still isn't being reported in the article, whereas there seemed an excessive emphasis on his alleged illegitimate son and related matters, which seems small beer by comparison. I just think that the article needs to have balance. Perhaps I should add in some of the stiff from Linsley. AWhiteC (talk) 18:27, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Mark Sykes

message: The article currently says "It was Sykes and his fellows in this group who revived ancient Greek and Roman names for Middle Eastern regions. Such terms in common use today include "Syria", "Palestine", "Iraq" and "Mesopotamia"."  But the use of "Syria", "Palestine" and "Mesopotamia" was traditional and common, not revived, and "Iraq" was not a Greek or Roman name.  If this remark cannot be substantiated I shall remove it.

thread_title:  Singer  

message: The feat is attributed to his gardener Henry Telende, who was influenced by the methods of the younger Pieter de la Court, whose ideas were popularized by Richard Bradley.  The trick was to use tanner's bark to keep the soil warm, and this was kept secret by de la Court and others for many decades until 1737.  However, it seems that de la Court's method was widely shared by the invisible college of botanists and gardeners prior to publication.  I think it's odd to attribute all of this to Decker, but he was the funder behind it. Viriditas (talk) 19:51, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

message: I would like to clarify that the username Linda Gregerson (see this edit) does not belong to the poet herself, but to a young Bulgarian man (I know his real personal name but I am not authorized to disclose it). I asked him to upload a picture from the literary reading of Linda Gregerson on 4 June 2018 in Sofia, and although I though I gave the necessary instructions about account name creation, he obviously misunderstood and mixed it with the name of the object on the photo. If details are needed, I can provide them in private communication. This clarification is also provided at the file talk page on Commons. →Spiritia 06:52, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Sir Gregor MacGregor, 6th Baronet

message: :"MacGregor served as a member of the 16th Parachute Brigade Group during the Second World War and attained the rank of Brigade Major."
He was commissioned into the Scots Guards on 22 September 1944 at the age of 18. The above quote, which I have moved here form the article itself, suggests that he had served as a para and achieved the rank of Major before joining the SG. This is highly unlikely as even during war, it takes a few years to be promoted to major. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk  14:02, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: education

message: "comfortable", here, is a euphemism for wealthy. In Canada, we don't use the British sysyen of labeling classes, but Brankson Hall is a very expensive private school that very few people can afford to send their daughter to. Wikipedia articles should use accurate words rather than euphemisms.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.88.11.121 (talk) 00:19, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  "comfortable middle class" 

message: "Themes" summarizes McQuaig's books. An anonymous user wrote the comment, "do each of these books merit descriptions in an encyclopedia?". This anonymous user added a template, which says, "This section needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources."
I propose removing this template for two reasons. First, I'd say the summaries definitely belong here. Wikipedia pages for other authors (Margaret Atwood for just one example) often contain summaries of their works. If an encyclopedia isn't a good place for a compendium of this information, I don't know what is. Perhaps "Themes" is not the best title for this section, but that's a different issue.
Second, it is not clear that citations are needed for these book summaries. The books themselves could easily serve as citations for their own summaries.MathPerson (talk) 16:34, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: A month has gone by since the last comment. There haven't been any further discussions or rebuttals, so I'm going to delete the template. MathPerson (talk) 02:46, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Linda Melvern

message: I've come across this page through my research, for which I am including Ms. Melvern's books as sources for my thesis. The first thing I noticed was that the page was clunky and undivided, and did not include a Bibliography. I also noticed that it was very unbalanced, and seems to be deliberately set up in a way that discredits the author. To find a list of her works, I went on her website, and noticed that on the top bar of her website, she had included a post which describes the vandalism her Wikipedia has undergone - but I cannot find any record of this in the page edit history, which seems strange? I have cleaned up the page, and need to do further work on cleaning up bare URLs. I will also be reviewing the content of the page to give a more balanced outlook. It is fair to include the criticism of scholars such as Reyntjens and Thompson, but it is unfair to include that in isolation, ignoring the significant praise she has achieved from others, and her considerable expertise on the subject. If anyone can explain why I can't find any of the edits described here on her website: https://lindamelvern.com/wikipedia/ that would be amazing!
Thanks

Of course, there's also the Perigo biography by his own former company employer so I don't know if that really constitutes "independent". Further consultation might be a good idea. In any case, I don't know what to think about this article if multiple independent reliable sources are unavailable.

Talk:Linsey Godfrey

message: On her twitter account, she started some drama with her co-worker from Days of Our Lives, Melissa Reeves. She twisted the truth and made the baseless accusation publicly that Melissa Reeves is racist. She made this accusation because Melissa Reeves had “liked” a post by Candace Owens (who is a black woman). The post claimed that Black Lives Matter pockets a lot of the money donated to them, and also sends a lot of donations to the Democratic Party, and that Black Lives Matter is not actually helping black lives. The actor who plays Eli Grant in Days of our Lives “liked” Linsey’s post accusing Melissa Reeves of being racist.
Because of Linsey Godfrey’s post, many people began attacking Melissa Reeves on Twitter. Many people said they had been fans of Melissa Reeves for years, and were very disappointed to hear that she is a racist.
About the same time this scandal happened, Melissa Reeves left the show for a long time, saying that she lived in Nashville, TN, and that it was too hard for her to travel back and forth.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by SlowStudent (talk • contribs) 20:05, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
