Talk:Thomas Contee

message: Who is this article about? Is it about Thomas Contee? Is it about Sarah Fendell? Is it about John Hesselius? Is it about John Hanson? It seems like the author couldn't decide. I've already deleted and redirected the Sarah Fendell article to this one, as it was only a slight rearrangement of the same article and didn't establish any notability of her own. But looking at this article, I'm having a hard time determining what his notability is. There are vague claims about his being a "militia man" and a politician, and mentions of land ownership and slaves, and a record of his ancestry, but what did he do that makes him notable? The simple fact that he lived 200 years ago is not sufficient. Kafziel Talk 22:27, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be nice to have the actual sources from which the content of this topic was derived - but like too many topics, it's pasted in from some unknown source.  What I see is interesting in the topic is the place names (to relate to other topics), the mention that he was a brother in-law of John Hanson.  Most of the other details could be discarded.

Talk:Street Sheet

message: I have edited this page a half dozen or so times over the past fourteen years. Some of these edits were made while I was an employee of the Coalition on Homelessness, tho I did not make them at anyone else's request or as part of my employment. I was not paid to make these edits. I have reviewed these edits, & summarise them as follows:
* I on several occasions updated the name of the editor, as that changed.
* I updated the frequency of print from monthly to twice monthly, as that changed.
* I removed the identification of the paper as having a leftist political affiliation.
* I updated the link to the newspaper's blog at one point when that changed, & I added a link to the Coalition on Homelessness' Website.
I have made no other changes to this page. I believe that all of these changes are effectively neutral. Some would dispute the third point but the claim was not sourced. Most of these changes were made before there was a clear guideline to state one's conflict of interest. However, my most recent change on 5 January 2017 was made after the current policy was passed, and I ought to have declared a COI. I was not yet aware of the guideline. At the time, I was not an employee of the Coalition on Homelessness, but I was certainly a connected contributor. I have added a Connected contributor banner to this page in order to try to comply with WP:DISCLOSE. For even fuller disclosure: I became aware of this guideline because my comments on another Talk page drew criticism. I am now attempting to make sure that I'm doing right by WP:COI in ancient edits.

replies: text: I accidentally omitted a major edit: At one point, Highmuckymuck (user no longer exists) added information on Street Sheet Canada. I removed that information & set it apart on its own page as it is (or was) an unrelated publication. That page is now under consideration for deletion due to lack of notability. That is probably far more potentially controversial than any of the above. I do not believe I have made any other edits to this page. Pathawi (talk) 12:10, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Leonid Feodorov

message: It's open to debate whether Exarch Fedorov was ever ordained a bishop. He isn't listed in any official source as a bishop, and no respectable scholarly source claims that he was one. (In some places it's expressly claimed that he wasn't: http://www.apostolische-nachfolge.de/Russia.htm for instance). If he was a bishop, it would be hard to explain why he didn't carry out ordinations while incarcerated at Solovetsky. (These had to wait for the arrival of Bp Sloskans). It's fine to allow pious legend to accord him the honour, but I don't think that justifies putting the claim in an encylopedia article. C0pernicus (talk) 16:21, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Just to sum up: larger than the other islands, but no archaeological evidence, no indication of human habitation or agricultural use, one wreck, no English name (which would have helped search). A fairly extensive search this morning (using Ramsey as well as Ynys Bery) has found no mention of it in newspapers or journals online or on Google.

thread_title:  Expansion 

message: Some translations of La Vita Nuova render it “behold my heart.” This is equally valid and in the sonnet’s context, actually more accurate. The statement is much more profound than the merely lexical translation of vide = “(you) see.” Rather than merely noticing or witnessing (“see” my heart), the intent is to observe, consider, reflect upon, and acquire understanding of the speaker’s heart (“behold” my heart). I suggest it be included in the article as an alternative translation. It certainly improves upon the merely lexical translation of “see” by making use of vide’s semantic domain to give the wiki reader a better understanding of the phrase’s meaning and the author’s intent. 2600:6C4A:7740:10:0:0:0:184B (talk) 02:21, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

A figure of 1,000,000 in US sales for Goldfinger (as a single) has been quoted in other articles about Shirley Bassey, using Guinness Records as a source.
