Talk:David Mabberley

message: Oh do us a favor, Mabberley is hardly one of the greatest etc! This person is a botanist in later years doing what all successful botanists will do, this is subjective comment, it is also very over-stated. Biography wikipedians will inspect this entry for this over-statement in future years we hope!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.164.113 (talk) 16:51, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Please edit this; it has all the signs of being written by Mabberley himself. In particular his failed attempt to recreate Robert brown's identification of the cell nucleus for BBC television was spectacular and should be critically reviewed. As the previous commentator has so wisely suggested, this needs objective editing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.32.32.207 (talk) 09:55, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Wild

message: This artical has conflicinting information,
:It has been suggested that this article be split into multiple articles accessible from a disambiguation page. (Discuss)
:This is a disambiguation page: a list of articles associated with the same title. If an internal link referred you to this page, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended article.</q>
Is it a disambiguation or isn't it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.111.90.88 (talk • contribs).
:I think the idea was that the term "wild" was so vague that it could be split into separate articles that themselves were disambiguation articles.  In any case, I'm proposing somewhat the opposite: merging WILD into Wild.  --Closeapple 19:04, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disambiguation 

message: This disambiguation page was marked for cleanup per MoS:DAB. I merged content from WILD here, and I also removed several entries and will give the reasons here:
* Wild Food Adventures: Institute for the Study of Edible Wild Plants and Other Foragables. A research and teaching institution operated by John Kallas, Ph.D.. Dedicated to understanding and dissemination of knowledge regarding the past present and future uses of edible wild plants and other foragables in North America. -- probably commercial (WP:ADVERT). Also violates WP:DAB#Lists.
* Wild bill, a dollar bill on Where's George? that has previously been entered and marked with the Where's George web address -- Deleted because of WP:DAB#Lists
*List of wild foods
*Wild card
*Wild cat
*Wildflower
*Wild ginger
*Wild Hunt
*Wild rice
*Wild Weasel -- all from the "See also" section. Deleted because of WP:DAB#Lists
* The Wild in the web comic Kevin and Kell, a forested area where animals go to give up on the trappings of civilization and live as their wild ancestors once did -- no significant mentions on Kevin and Kell, so probably non-notable.
* Wyld (Rapper) -- no incoming links to this term/person, so probably nonnotable.
I might be off with my judgement in some cases, so carefully(!) re-insert those terms that you think have to be included. Please familiarize yourself with the  guidelines for a dab page first though. – sgeureka t•c 14:26, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  Yes, I found quite a lot of DM coverage on him and the Duchess. The DM seems to love all that Royal and peerage-goss, doesn't it.

message: It's not mentioned in the article, but Marsden, as Dave Mickie, was on a Hamilton top-40 radio station (I think CKOC) in the early 1960s and later hosted a local pop music dance show on CHCH TV (channel 11), Club 11 Dance Party. Part of his on-air shtick was to encourage the wearing of black bobby socks rather than white, and he lauded wearers of the former as "black sock boobies." Anyone with a long memory able to verify any of this?

replies: text: One year later... I agree with the above suggestion. :) It seems this article was moved to its current name for disambiguation reasons, but as far as I'm aware, there is no other British politician by the name of David Marshall who he could be confused with. As the IP above mentions, he is an MP for the Westminster Parliament, not the Scottish Parliament, therefore 'British politician' seems a more accurate description.

replies: text:  I admit to being a bit biased here because elections are my speciality but I like having recent individual elections listed. This is consistent with other Politics of... templates I have worked on - e.g. Iraq, DRCongo. You can do it in a way that takes up very little room. You seem to be moving the goalposts here - now suggesting an even briefer template than one that's there at the moment. Bear in mind these templates are designed to be run down the side of the main article pages, there is normally plenty of room for extra articles relevant to the particular country. The Iran one is already towards the shorted end of the norm at the moment. AndrewRT(Talk) 21:37, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
