Talk:List of Quakers

message: We already have a list at the main Quaker article. Do we have enough references to individaual quakers to nessecitate a seperate list? Lyellin 14:18, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)
: I'm wondering why this is an article rather than a category. Or for that matter, simple a references to the existing categories such as  :Category:Australian Quakers.
: I propose that we progressively edit each of the people listed here and add either Category:nationality_Quakers or :Category:Notable_Quakers or :Category:Notable_ex_Quakers or simply :Category:Quakers - and if anyone has better ideas for the labels please reply. Then once that's done, simply change this article into an index for the categories. (It doesn't seem possible to transclude a category, unfortunately.)

message: Olaf Stapledon? --Eric Forste 21:28, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Uh no. I've read several biographies of him for the work I'm doing and he was pretty solidly agnostic. Before their friendship totally broke off he told H. G. Wells that "people actually think I've become a Christian", in kind of a mixture of disgust and amusement. Towards the end of his life he said if he'd be any kind of religion he'd be Quaker, but then went on to say how he felt they failed in certain areas.--T. Anthony 15:56, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Olaf Stapledon

message: Someone just forwarded me something that purports to be the the Economist obituary of playwright Christopher Fry.  The obituary calls the playwright "a Christian and a Quaker". --Eric Forste 00:22, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Christopher Fry 

message: I recently discovered a big error in this list.  Edward Pease was not the first Quaker member of Parliament.  His son Joseph was.  The mistake was probably based on a website that used an ambiguous "he" meaning the son but leading someone to think it was the father.  We need to be on the lookout for other places where this might need to be corrected. 
Also, the two Edward Peases are said by one website to be related, which I think is probably true.  It would be nice to find that relationship and point it out.  Logophile 12:31, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I took a look at the LDS's genealogy search engine, which does list both men, but I couldn't find direct ties.  I've mostly used them in the past to track American Quakers which often goes better (they have reviewed much of the meeting minutes in various archives and so have surprisingly complete data), but that does not seem to be as carefully done for British Friends (I could think of several reasons for this).  But a lack of a connection  (particullary in 1 data source) is hardly evidence that there isn't one. --Ahc 14:38, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: The Pease Family

message: I can't find a source yet and won't put her name in unless/until I can find one, but I have a notion that Cheryl Tiegs is or at one time described herself as a Friend. Does that ring any bells with anyone? Dpbsmith (talk) 13:30, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Cheryl Tiegs]] 

message: I have added Joan Mary and Margery Fry to the list, as they were Quakers (Roger was not, I think) and have merited entried in ODNB. If no-one else wants to tackle these Redlinks, I'll probably get down to condensing the ODNB articles and googling around sometime before Christmas (year not specified)

message: I note that this person received a Quaker education. Does that make him a Quaker, please?
=== Vernon White (talk) 12:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, attending a Friends school does not make a person Quaker.  Most people that attend Friends schools are not Quakers. --Ahc 13:49, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I don't think he can have been a very active Quaker after he left Earlham. Friend of Nixon, though.  I'll remove him from the List of Quakers.=== Vernon White (talk) 14:22, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The following added to the Ned Rorem talk page: "What evidence is there that Ned Rorem is a Quaker, please? BTW, a person who lives in a Quaker settlement or attends a Quaker School or College, or whose family have been Quakers for generations is not ncessarily a Quaker". --- Vernon White . . .

replies: text: Moved to "Quaker roots". Vernon White . . . Talk  13:55, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Is there any other evidence, please? There's a quote at ASCAP: October - November - December 1998 " I'm a Quaker, by the way, philosophically, though not religiously."  This does not qualify him to be be called "a Quaker", which involves membership of a Quaker Meeting and worshiping with other Quakers regularly. Vernon White . . . Talk  23:49, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Ned Rorem

message: I've read elsewhere that Nixon and Hoover were Quakers.  In addition their Wikipedia entries state their religion as Quaker.  Since neither are popular US Presidents and don't feel well-versed enough in the Friends I won't add them to the list.  However if someone more knowledgeable about either of these men and their relationship with Quakers could explain their lack of inclusion (or why they should be added) that would be interesting.  Thanks.  KevinLyda (talk) 08:01, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I've removed her from the list because, according to her page in Wikipedia, she does not consider herself a Quaker, though she went to a Quaker school.
