Talk:Eric Phipps

message: The following I have posted when I graded this article, but I felt it best to move it for the benefit of all. There is absolutely nothing here about about his time as Ambassador to France during a very critical period in Anglo-French relations, let alone any mention of the fact that Phipps was a close ally of Georges Bonnet. On September 24, 1938 at the height of the great crisis over Czechoslovakia that was to culminate in the Munich  Agreement, Phipps reported back to London "all that is best in France is against war, almost at any price" with only a "small, but noisy and corrupt, war group" opposing the "best in France" (Adamthwaite, Anthony France and the Coming of the Second World War 1936-1939, London: Frank Cass, 1977, page 177). Moreover, a most misleading summary of his time as Ambassador to Berlin; only the dispatches that Phipps sent that seem prescient in the light of later events are quoted here. This is very wrong. Some of Phipps's dispatches did warn of a danger from Germany while others very much downplayed the danger from the Reich, saying that Hitler was very much a moderate, who was strugging to control his extremist followers. Phipps himself often admitted that he was not sure about what were Adolf Hitler's ultimate intentions, so I think it highly dishonest to say "Phipps, in his despatches whilst ambassador to Berlin, warned the British Government about the character of Adolf Hitler's régime". Only some of Phipps's dispatches warned about Hitler, while others did not, so it really seems unfair to imply as this article does that in the mid-1930s, Phipps warned London about Hitler, who apparently did not heed Phipps's advice. --A.S.

thread_title:  Complete list of performers? 

message: This may seem like a minor point, but if a 19-year-old girl instigated, organized, and publicized a major event like this in only ten days, and 7,000 people showed up, that's pretty impressive and I think she deserves credit for that - provided that's really what happened.
The sources tell slightly different stories. Several credit Barbara Rubin with organizing the event. The Heddon book credits "A Poets Co-operative" headed by Alexander Trocchi and Michael Horovitz. 
David Sterritt credits Rubin with booking the Albert Hall but claims others took over the program - which makes sense, because (1) Rubin had plenty to do just publicizing the event, and (2) if it had been up to her, she likely would have invited some women to perform (as she did in '67).
: "Ginsberg was traveling with Barbara Rubin....and she promptly booked the capacious Royal Albert Hall for an evening with Ginsberg and friends. But the program was 'soon hijacked by a posse of native poets,' in the words of a London film historian." --David Sterritt, "Wholly Communion: Scenario, Film, Novelization" Framework: The Journal of Cinema and Media, Vol. 52, No. 1, THINGS FALL APART: PETER WHITEHEAD ISSUE, PART I (SPRING 2011), pp. 145-163 
That story is supported by this account by Barry Miles, who says that Rubin booked the hall and did the publicity, while others took over planning of the program. He notes that the prospect of reading at the Albert Hall was an ego trip for the poets, so if Rubin hadn't impulsively, boldly, booked it, the event wouldn't have attracted the performers it did from all over the world; and if she hadn't gotten it on the news, it wouldn't have attracted such a big crowd. So I'm inclined to credit her with organizing it even if others were involved. --Rosekelleher (talk) 17:07, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

message: Since 1979/80, all Test cricket has been played with six balls per over. However, overs in Test cricket originally had four balls per over, and there has had varying number of balls per over around the world up to 1979/80, generally the same as the number of balls per over in force in other first-class cricket in that country.[3]
Would it be correct that the number of balls in an over was standardised to 6 because when a match is televised there is an advertisement at the end of each over, and having 6 balls in an over provided just the right number of advertisements per hour to make the televising of cricket viable finacially for the television networks? 8 ball overs would not provide time for enough advertisements.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.9.151.254 (talk) 04:45, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
