Talk:Patrick Hallahan

message: Does he warrant his own article? There's more written about him than some of the other band members, whose articles I turned into redirects today. However, this article has no sources. Keep and expand, or turn into a redirect? —C.Fred (talk) 16:38, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notability? 

message: The article contains the following sentence: "Hallahan's style meshes together the hard hitting sounds of more classic rock drummers, while still encompassing the necessary versatility of a more progressive rock sound."  This strikes me as odd, since 'classic rock' is a radio format, and 'progressive rock' is a genre (or subgenre) of music.  In fact, classic rock stations tend to play a whole lot of early progressive rock songs.  Could someone who is relatively familiar with this drummer's work rewrite that line?

Talk:Patrick van Kerckhoven

message: Which year did it reach the top 40? I found this searching the top 40. It says it's in place 9 (not 8) but I can't find which year this was (says "WEEK 26 VAN 2010" no matter what PDF I open from the site). According to Discogs it was released 1996, but if released in late '96 it might not have reached the top 40 until '97. I don't speak Dutch so sorry if I'm missing something obvious. :) Jiiimbooh (talk) 19:21, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Never mind, found it on top40.nl instead. I looked at every single document I could find with the single on the other website (radio538.nl), but could not find evidence that it reached higher than 9, and it did not even say which year from what I could see.

Talk:Alan Alder

message: We know he was born in Canberra in 1937, and that his middle name is Richard..
This document is a seniority list of some Canberra public servants in 1956, and it mentions an Alan Richard Alder, with DOB 14 September 1937.  He would have been 18 or 19 at that stage.  Is it the same person?  Quite feasible that he could have joined the Public Service for a while before his ballet career took off.  --  Jack of Oz [Talk] 08:24, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Lucette Aldous

message: Article currently  reads in part Lucette Aldous married Maurice Evelyn Forbes Fitzmaurice, a barrister, in 1960. They divorced in 1973.[1] She later married fellow artist Alan Alder. The reference is to a peerage site http://thepeerage.com/s1.htm#s47 A genealogical survey of the peerage of Britain as well as the royal families of Europe; Presumably the first husband has some claim to nobility, and it does indeed give the date of the divorce as 1973.
However, the article on Alan Alder currently  reads in part He married fellow artist Lucette Aldous in 1972. This is supported by many other websites, for example http://www.abc.net.au/talkingheads/txt/s1887469.htm So I said to Alan, "You won't mind escorting me?", Not at all." Rudy said, "This is the company that must be seen in America doing 'Don Quixote'." So that's when we actually did 56 'Don Quixotes' in America. As the tour went on, that's when Alan proposed to me and we got married in 1972. It was very exciting coming home to a special position in The Australian Ballet. 1972, that's when, again, Sir Robert did so much homework. The film industry was at its peak, financially. So we proposed it, he got the money and he landed the film 'Don Quixote'. This was said in the presence of both husband Alan and their daughter Floeur, so unless there's a transcription error it's likely correct! http://www.australiadancing.org/apps/ad?action=ViewSubject&id=1221&resourceType=All reads in part Alder married fellow dancer Lucette Aldous in 1972.

message: Several Rock Biographies quote Quinn's year of birth as 1951 - but that is clearly incorrect. He was in the same class as Edwyn Collins at school and therefore must have been born in 1961 not 1951.

message: Smith, credited as Irving Garner (no relation to Erroll), recorded a deadpan tongue-in-cheek comedy solo piano album, "The Best of Irving Garner," Verve MGV-2078.

message: Obviously this article needs a bit of a clean-up. I'm happy to keep doing research to fix up this article, although it might take a while.
The first citation doesn't mention the working group (which should be committee in SA parlance), but it does mention that Standards Australia had commenced developing new guidelines.
The second citation is a fact sheet about the proposed committee, but it's undated, and seems to predate the actual formation of the committee. I think I've found another source to replace this one. KCastellino (talk) 14:35, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:List of wars involving Colombia

message: This seems like a silly page. If someone is searching for the "Colombian Armed Conflict" they surely mean the current one. If they are searching for a historical war, they would search by the name that war is known by. Can anyone provide any sources referring to any of the historical conflicts by the specific term "Colombian Armed Conflict"?  --Russ (talk) 11:42, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I happen agree with the above. I'm not going to change it back now, as I'd like to see if there are arguments in favor of keeping this as it is. Most other Colombian conflicts are normally categorized as civil wars, for example, not as "armed conflicts". That name, in both Spanish and English, predominantly refers to the current one, by far. So yes, it's a bit silly to have this page refer to all of them as "armed conflicts". Juancarlos2004 23:54, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
