Talk:David Lewis (English merchant)

message: As that's what he's still second-best known for in Liverpool, these need expansion. Just how many were there? The main ones I can think of would be:
* Seamans' hostel
* Seamans' orphanage
* David Lewis Hotel & Club, Great George Street
* David Lewis Workmen's Hostel, "an effort to solve the difficulty of providing accommodation for unmarried men of the artisan class." according to the 1911 Britannica. Was this the "Hotel" building?

message: Just wondered if this bequest to the National Gallery of Scotland was notable enough for a mention? Helen Guiterman appears to have been instrumental in promoting Roberts to modern prominence: "Roberts... was popular and critically acclaimed during his lifetime, but tended to be overlooked until the extensive research of artist and enthusiast Ms Guiterman."

Template talk:Television in Spain

message: From december 2005, TVC Channel linup is as follows:
Analogue (PAL): 
TV3,K3-33 (timesharing),3/24 
digital terrestrial television: 
TV3,33,3/24,K3/300.
K3/300 (k3 from 8 till 21:30, then 300 from 21:30 to 08:00)
300 is no longer a 24h channel, and  timeshares with k3 from december 2005. Also, 300 is not available in all of Spain.
To avoid this issue, I have grouped 300 with other catalan public channels (tv3,33,k3,3/24). This is since the "digital terrestrial channels" section does not distinguish between regional and nation-wide availability. I would prefer not to list 300 in that section unless it is stated that 300 is not available in all of Spain.

Talk:David T. Ansted

message: If you fancy editing any of this in...
Ansted, David Thomas, F.R.S. (1814–1880), a geologist of considerable reputation in his time, was born in London in 1814, educated in a London school and at Jesus College, Cambridge, where he took his degree in 1836, being afterwards elected a fellow of his college. The earlier part of his life was devoted to educational work. He was professor of geology at King's College, London, and lecturer at Addiscombe and at the Civil Engineering College at Putney. From 1844 to 1847 he acted as assistant-secretary of the Geological Society, and for many years he edited its quarterly journal. In later life, from about 1850, he turned to the practical applications of geology in connection with mining, engineering, water-supply, and the like, and was constantly consulted on such matters both in this country and abroad. He was a prolific author, and some of his geological writings for a time kept their place as standard authorities, while others of a popular character attained a wide circulation. Among the former may be mentioned his ‘Geology’ (1844), and among the latter his ‘Great Stone Book of Nature’ (1863). He also wrote several books of travel, besides contributing a great number of papers to the Geological Society, the British Association, the Society of Arts, and other societies. His death took place at his residence near Woodbridge, Suffolk, in May 1880.--Tagishsimon (talk) 21:33, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Review

message: Hi - I added a movie/tv/video review section and also modified the book review section so as - really - to distinguish between book reviews that are really "literary criticism" and other reviews of, say, travel books, computer help books, and so on, which focus on practical merits.
The parts I added have no references, which I feel bad about and will try to fix. Really it would be good if interested people could recommend sources on the talk page related to issues like the history of reviews, classification of reviews, methods for writing reviews, professional vs. amateur reviews, academic/scholarly reviews, customer-created reviews on online sites, and so forth.

File talk:Totally Krossed Out album coverart.jpg

message: I uploaded this thing nearly 5 months ago.

If someone who's already familiar with how to deal with these things wants to do it (since every album cover is a positive contribution to Wikipedia, IMO), please do, but none of the other album covers I've uploaded have given me this problem, so whatever step I usually did right that I accidentally skipped this time, I'll just make sure not to let it happen again. - Ugliness Man 10:55, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

message: A thorough search of the usual Google links didn't turn up any reliable-looking sources saying Lewis Lewis is Dic Penderyn's cousin (aside from the BBC blog discussed above, which may or may not be taken from us but is certainly a blog of some kind, and I think that's enough to declare it unreliable).  I haven't looked in any physical books (yet), though, so I'm just going to leave this here rather than removing the info.  There's quite a bit of other uncited info that I'll have to dig up sources for, as well.  It's too bad it's taking me over two years to get this properly referenced.  I was surprised at how much I'd left undone when I revisited this earlier this month.
Also, a handful of sentences were apparently copied from one article or another on Wales Online, so I suggest keeping an eye out for them.  ekips39❦talk 06:21, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

message: The sentence "The clearances caused the depopulation of large areas of the highlands, and force was often used to remove the crofters from their houses and lands" has been deleted. This was briefly marked with citation needed, but then I read the instructions for this tag and moved straight to deletion.
The sentence has numerous defects:
Population levels typically rose at the time of the clearances. Depopulation occurred later with voluntary movement overseas and elsewhere in Scotland. Crofting was a result of the clearances; often it was larger scale farmers who were evicted and resettled in crofts, particularly in the Sutherland clearances.  "Remove" does not explain that the process was usually a totally legal eviction (due to the poor protection of these tenants under Scottish law). ThoughtIdRetired (talk) 23:44, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: There is no doubt that the subject of the article is noteworthy. However, the relevant Wikipedia policy would need to be followed. "This policy does not prohibit editors with specialist knowledge from adding their knowledge to Wikipedia, but it does prohibit them from drawing on their personal knowledge without citing their sources. If an editor has published the results of his or her research in a reliable publication, the editor may cite that source while writing in the third person and complying with our NPOV policy." For instance, The Irish Times published a number of articles at the time of Beckett's death and these could be used as citations where they support any of the statements in the article. It is not that there is anything defamatory in the article, it is just that it is of limited use to researchers if they cannot verify the sources.
