thread_title:  [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Assessment#Class_parameter|Biography assessment rating]] comment 

message: This is one of those colonial biographies that's very rich, and also about a very important guy as well as an interesting one; I'll crib his bio basics as best I can but there's all kinds of material on him, and on his son Sir Francis Stillman Barnard, 10th Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia (1914-1919)., and also on the B.X. Express (Barnard's Express Co.), which he founded; my only source right now is J.B. Kerr's biographical summaries from 1890, plus bits of reference in modern popular histories and a bit in Akriggs and whatever else is around; this is connected also to several other people and place articles, and theoretically could be one of the core colonial-history biographies,such as his "crack whips" like Steve Tingley and Billy Ballou; he's highly notable even though he wasn't a Premier, L-G, or newspaperman.....definitely "high" importance in terms of colonial histories and biographies...and not just notable because MP/MLA.Skookum1 07:16, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Significant pioneer/entrepreneur

message: The article says he "emigrated to British Columbia in the spring of 1859 via Panama and San Francisco in 3rd class steerage."  The Panama Canal didn't open until 1914.  KenWalker | Talk 19:21, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Via the Panama Railway, or if it was only a portage then I'm not sure; crossing Panama without a canal was commonplace, but about which I suppose I could have been more explicit, as I realized what Kerr's account was referring to and took it as a given.  Coming round the Horn was still the cheaper, though longer, way (before the Panama Railway the isthmus was a horrorshow); I'm not sure of the dates on the railway so left it at "Panama" as a simple reference; there was nothing more in Kerr....hopefully I'll get back and finish the rendering from Kerr tonight; there's other refs to Barnard - I know from Francis Decker's Pemberton: History of a Settlement in its chapter on Port Douglas/The Douglas Road, it's mentioned in there that the B.X. Express' first offices were at Port Douglas and his operations were on the Port Douglas-Lillooet route, for instance.Skookum1 19:59, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

::A separate issue is whether the Wikipedia article should include code that only works with an experimental library in an unreleased version of Watir.
::Bret
Bret's reply is an oversimplification, to the point that I believe it distorts the facts. If I were David Schmidt, I would be upset over a great deal more than that. Read more about it here: http://titanez.net/watir/
I believe that this is an appropriate public place to post this, since discussion of this issue is now being censored in the Wtr-general mailing list, hence Watir users would otherwise not know about it.

Talk:Andrew Fletcher (patriot)

message: Matter of personal taste, but I prefer article headers to be proper names rather than having brackets after. Will move this to Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun, by which he is commonly known, shortly, unless anybody disagrees? Brendandh (talk) 10:27, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just moved the article from Andrew Fletcher (politician) to Andrew Fletcher (patriot): his grandfather Andrew Fletcher and great-nephew Andrew Fletcher were also politicians (respectively shire commissioner for Forfarshire, and MP for Haddington Burghs and Haddingtonshire). My first thought was to move it to Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun as User:Brendandh suggested, but the nephew was also "of Saltoun". Suggestions for a better title would be welcomed. His ODNB article is titled "Fletcher, Andrew, of Saltoun (1653?–1716), Scottish patriot, political theorist, and book collector". Opera hat (talk) 11:27, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Move

message: Perhaps this entry should be somewhat longer for such a colorful character. Fletcher is likely to be 'in the news' for his importance re Scottish union/independence, agriculture, and much more.
His burial in the family vault at Saltoun deserves mention, too. As does his important library and literary culture; the discovery of this library and sales of it were a matter of considerable interest some fifty years ago.
And a list of biographies might be appended,since Fletcher's life makes fascinating reading - an unusual mixture of considerable  scholarship with a vigorous military career (culminating in the shooting dead of Paymaster General Heywood Dare,and dangerous exile in Europe, during which (when not fleeing) he acquired rare classical first editions.

Talk:Life Story (film)

message: Just a note to point out that the title of this film when it first aired in the UK was Life Story. 
The title of Race for the Double Helix came when it was aired on the A&E network in the late 80's in the US. Yes, this is the old A&E of quality progamming and not the 'Son of Court TV' that it has become today (sorry POV I know). It was very popular and seemed to play monthly and, from time-to-time, weekly at one point. Now I am not proposing that we move this page - although if someone wanted to do so I would be all for it and would offer my help in fixing redirects if needed - but I did feel that it was important to note this here on the discussion page.
One other note, as stated in the article, Peter Howell's music was an important part of the film. The tune that may be most memorable for some is the song that played as Crick and Watson show off their completed model towards the end of the film and again over the closing credits. It is an adaptation of a song by Georges Delerue entitled "the Grand Chorale' and it was  heard in the film by François Truffaut entitled La Nuit américaine (Day for Night). See this note  for the work put in to discover this fact.
My thanks to the wikipedians who worked on this article as this is a special film (more POV) and needed a wikipage of its own (now if we could just get someone to get a page for Alan Howard going). MarnetteD | Talk 01:55, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Since I posted the first note I have learned that wikipolicy is to name articles about film (theater or TV) by the title that they aired under in their initial showing so I am moving this page tonight and I will also fix all of the redirects that ensue.MarnetteD | Talk 00:38, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Duplicate articles

message: The "Inter Petrum Christianum et Moysem Hæreticum" and the "series of twelve dialogues against the Jews, the supposed disputants being Mose and Pedro" seem to be duplicate references to the same work, which nowadays seems to be most often referred to under the title "Dialogi Contra Iudaeos".  It may have seemed laughable to 19th-century scholars, but the book "Petrus Alfonsi and his Medieval Readers" by John Victor Tolan (1993, ) shows how this work conveyed Jewish and Arabic knowledge to Northern European readers, who had little access to other information on those subjects at that time...

message: This article has a different death date than article Peter Alfonsi, while the book "Petrus Alfonsi and his Medieval Readers" by John Victor Tolan (1993) says that there's no definite information at all on his death (though it does say that he travelled to England and Northern France, which would seem to be somewhat incompatible with a death-date of 1110).

Talk:Francisco Javier Arana

message: Hi. Is there a way where we can get the exact pages we are using for the book "The Death of Francisco Arana: A Turning Point in the Guatemalan Revolution", instead of citing 25 pages in a single reference? This will help readers a lot more and can add more credibility to the article, especially for those wary of offline sources. Please let me know how I can help. MX (✉ • ✎) 21:11, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi . It's not a standalone book; it's a book chapter from "Shattered Hope: The Guatemalan Revolution and the United States, 1944-1954", which was published as a journal article. When using book sources I frequently use large page ranges, as the information necessary for a single encyclopedic sentence is often scattered across the chapter: but I suppose I could reduce the size of the range if I tried. I possess the source in question, but it's not with me at the moment, as I'm traveling. I could address this in a few days. Regards, Vanamonde (talk) 03:51, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Got it, thank you for the explanation. I posted this because I figured the page range could be reduced and become more precise. If you have multiple pages scattered around, you can try using this format, for example: "pg. 1–7; 18; 25", instead of "pg. 1–25". I'll leave it up to you to decide. I rather preserve the integrity of the source/text than sacrifice it. Big thanks! And nice job with this article, I've enjoyed it a lot. MX (✉ • ✎) 14:13, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

He was bishop of three dioceses: Mainz, Magdeburg, and Halberstadt.  Shouldn't that be mentioned, too?Mwidunn (talk) 04:46, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: What about Halberstadt?

message: The book "The World of Humanism: 1453-1517" by Myron P. Gilmore has a small section on Albert, suggesting that his [pallium] was larger than it would have been otherwise because he was already a Bishop (lower costs the first time through discourages excessive grasping?).  Gilmore goes on to say that the recent churn in the [Archbishopric of Mainz] (Albert was the third in the decade) meant that the parishioners (who pay extra in tithes at the beginning, so the new Bishops can pay off their debts) were really stretched.

message: I first knew him as "Albrecht of Mainz".  Perhaps, that is a better appellation, since it was in order to become bishop of that diocese -- his third, in fact -- that he allowed the preaching of the Pope's "St. Peter's Indulgence" (which led to Luther and everything after).
As for "Albert" or "Albrecht": No, "Albert" is not "outdated"; it is just English for "Albrecht".  Nothing wrong with it . . . unless, some people are trying to sound superior and shame everybody into only saying, "Albrecht".  If that's the case, then I'll never use "Albrecht" at all anymore -- just "Albert".Mwidunn (talk) 04:42, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
