Talk:James Cotterill

message: This section only contains negative reactions, all of which are from the same source. It also contains the bizarre, contradictary statement "It happens every week in the Premiership and he was made a scapegoat because he was on TV.", which makes no sense because every Premiership match is shown on television. I think that if no balancing statements can be found then this section should be removed from the article, especially as it contains no facts, just opinions. Gasheadsteve 14:08, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I've left the 'refimprove' tag on the article, but the question is really about this person's suitability for a Wikipedia article. Firstly, there's barely any biographical information about him to justify an article. Secondly there is barely any evidence of reviews/coverage about his books to prove he is a notable author. The Library Association award seems a minor one. Maybe there are offline sources available somewhere from the 1990's? Sionk (talk) 12:24, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Thermopylae

message: I am concerned by this articles, heavy reliance on citing Herodotus and Holland in the Aftermath section and indeed the broader article. To an almost exclusive degree the two are leaned upon.
No disrespect to Holland, but there are many more qualified historians on this area of Greco-Persian history, he is not a specialist in this topic. As for Herodotus, his ambiguous status as a primary source should surely invalidate him from being cited so heavily. There are many historians, who have dedicated themselves to Greco-Persian conflict who have synthesised the useful aspects of Herodotus' work, and separated it from the specious elements (such as Xerxes errr, 'whipping the sea' which I just had to remove)  let them speak instead.

message: The image with the above label is quantitatively incorrect. The scale at the top of the image seems to indicate each dot represents 5,000 soldiers.

Talk:The Anxiety of Influence

message: Isn't Bloom's reading fundamentally about male poets, as opposed to poets in general? I mean isn't, psychoanalytically, the "anxiety of influence" the anxiety of threatened castration? Thus, doesn't this article give a misleading perspective, by presenting Bloom's work as an analysis of "poets", when it really is an analysis of "male poets", or even, more accurately, only certain "male poets"? (I mean, if we read Bloom as saying that poets write out of fear of castration, and Maxwell as saying that poets write out of the desire for it, that is only a contradiction if they are commenting on the same people.) --SJK (talk) 17:38, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

I mean, yes, Blooms theory is easily applied to male poets... and is essentially written within the parameters of an Oedipedal complex, however, I'm not sure that explicitly mentioning male poets is the way to go.

A review of sources at hand support that Cape du Couedic was named by Peron & Freycinet rather than Baudin as the Baudin expedition had two ships that were deployed separately to survey the coastline of what is now South Australia.  In other words, it is possible that Baudin never saw Cape du Couedic.

message: Quote from article:
:It is widely available throughout Ireland but isn't actually drunk a great deal outside its native Cork
Is this accurate? I was under the impression that Murphy's was fairly popular in much of Kerry; and personally, although I know it's not as widely drunk in say, Limerick city, or perhaps Dublin (although surely there it varies according to the pub clientele), I don't myself know about other places. What about the parts of Waterford or Tipperary nearest to County Cork for example?

thread_title:  The Murphy's Image 

message: Can't find a good citation for Murphy's as the "Catholic Stout," though everyone in the know seems to think so.  Regarding the "Protestant Stout," though: it's not Beamish; it's Guinness.  Guinness was founded by Protestants, and didn't have any Catholics in management until the 1960's.  See: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,805967,00.html?promoid=googlep
Beamish certainly was perceived as Protestant. The Beamish family were of that persuasion and still are, in Co Cork. Yes, the Guinness family was and is Protestant, but their beer is so Irish and so universal that to give it a Prtoestant label would be specious. Bill Tegner 08:59, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Catholic vs. Protestant Stouts 

message: Without specfic reason, I don't support the merge proposal. I see no problem in one article about a brewery and one about a brand. – Ilse@ 22:57, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry for the lack of comment, but I was browsing in my down time at work and found both pages before a project landed in my lap. Anyways, if you look at the brewery page, you'll see that a large majority of the text in the article is devoted to their stout. In fact, there is even a paragraph on how it stacks up against Guinness, which this article also possesses. So, I personally find the information redundant. It also doesn't help that Murphy's is referring to the brand, while the Murphy's Brewery is dealing with... the brand. If this article was redone to deal with the brand, while the other was redone to deal with the history and current state of the brewery itself, then there'd be no reason for a merge. However, I do not feel that there will be enough information to warrant having two different pages, seeing as there definitely is not now. Kurrurrin 18:21, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
