message: Can anyone offer a reliable source for the chronology of kings given here? Downham certainly gives a different succession. Retroplum (talk) 23:37, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know where the dates come from. I'm not that familiar with the early kings, but the chronology of the later ones really bug me. The list is missing a few twelfth-century figures. Some of the dates here don't any make sense, and I wonder if they are derived from a somewhat dated book or website. Maybe it'd be better to scrap the date column and make use of the 'notes' to identify the known rise/fall/events/relations/factoid/whatever of each individual. I wouldn't recommend anyone automatically use the dates to construct an article at least.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 23:35, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, I'm trying to fill in those kings who don't currently have articles and the information given here is rather unhelpful.

Talk:Mortgage industry of Denmark

message: The Danish approach is being discussed as an alternative to the traditional US system.  Here are differences:
-Danish borrowers can pay off fixed rate loans at a discount when interest rates increase, reducing “negative equity” and thus reducing defaults.  “When everyone else is in a bad mood, they’re in the money.”  
-Originators are compensated for and retain first loss responsibility covering credit risk on the loans that they make; loan performance is published so bondholders can reassure themselves that credit risk is being adequately covered, improving confidence.  
-Concern about who is servicing the loans and mandatory loan write downs are limited to originators and have not unnerved bondholders.
-Loans and bonds are easy to understand because every originator’s product is like the other originators’ product and described in a national mortgage law.  
-Documentation and appraised values are consistent because a separately regulated mortgage institute has checked them.  
-There is no inside information favoring certain investors as bond information is kept in one data base and reports issued through the exchange.  
-Bond investor confidence and knowledge results in lower bond yields thus lower interest rates.  
-Standardization and computerization reduces the cost related to process friction.  This causes some opposition in Wall Street where underwriting non-standard bonds have resulted in large fees, but is benefitial to the borrowers in both developed and developing markets.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.103.81.217 (talk) 18:39, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:John Davis (British businessman)

message: The text says that John Davis was married five times but lists only four wives, both in the main text and in the infobox. What's the source for the fifth spouse? Simon Coward (talk) 09:29, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry for the belated reply. The article as I've just added a citation to it says six wives. Couldn't say what the source was for the editor who said five, or the one who altered this to six, but here is the relevant text from Davis's entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography: "Davis married his first wife, Kathleen Blanche Mary Coryn (b. 1904/5)... on 29 November 1930. This was the first of six marriages, though in later life Davis preferred to omit two of them — the first and the third — from the records (he also gave a false date for the second marriage)... On 23 January 1937 he married Joan Grace Buckingham (b. 1916)... On 22 December 1941 he married Jeanne Beryl Stephens (1918–1988)... this marriage lasted only three months. His fourth wife was Marion Louise (b. 1918/19), daughter of Thomas Sydney Gaved, an antique dealer. She had already changed her surname to Davis by the time of their marriage, on 21 April 1947... On 3 March 1954 Davis married Dinah Sheridan (1920–2012)... His final marriage, on 5 March 1976, was to Felicity Mary Rutland (b. 1937/8)... All Davis's marriages except the last ended in divorce." Per$1$tenceofv1$1on (talk) 01:30, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

text: His obituary in The Times (29 May 1993, p. 17) says he "acknowledged four marriages but was reputed to have entered into six". Per$1$tenceofv1$1on (talk) 02:08, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Marriages 

message: Considering that a 1996 documentary about Davis called him The Man Who Ruined the British Film Industry, there's nothing in the article in its current state about Davis's impact on said industry (as opposed to a small number of references to what he was like personally). His "diversification" of Rank's business interests didn't just mean investing in Xerox but shutting down a lot of other things that he regarded as unsafe investments (like studios).

Talk:Phil Jones (journalist)

message: Virtually all the citations are marked "Courtesy of Phil Jones from his personal biography." To me this raises a few issues. Firstly, 'courtesy of' seems to imply consent, but I don't know if that's the case here. Secondly, 'from' (his biography) suggests that it may have been copied & pasted, which could be copyvio; however, as the source is not linked I don't know where and how to check. And thirdly, citing the article subject's own autobiography looks like a probable COI problem. Views? DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:06, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

message: Should this page also direct to the band The Legendary Pink Dots, who have a member called Phil Knight? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendary_Pink_Dots It's a prolific band with more than 30 years of history, a very large back catalogue, and is moderately well-known within the genre. Their Phil Knight is a founder member of the band.
A quick google has shown me that there are a few other people called Phil Knight in music, but the one in the Legendary Pink Dots is notable enough for the band to have their own wiki page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.29.126.235 (talk) 12:36, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

message: This article needs to be rewritten so it is not a copy paste of his profile on his website. Even if it cites the information, it needs to be paraphrased, and secondary reliable sources independent of the subject should be introduced.

Talk:Philip Giraldi

message: Wikipedia:WORDS#Synonyms_for_said says:
:Said, stated, wrote, and according to are almost always neutral and accurate. Extra care is needed with more loaded terms. For example, to write that a person revealed, pointed out, exposed, explained, or found something can imply that it is true, where a neutral account might preclude such an endorsement. To write that someone noted, observed, insisted, speculated, or surmised can suggest the degree of the speaker's carefulness, resoluteness, or access to evidence when that is unverifiable.
:To write that someone claimed or asserted something can call their statement's credibility into question, by emphasizing any potential contradiction or implying a disregard for evidence. Similarly, be judicious in the use of admit, confess, and deny, particularly of living people, because these verbs can convey guilt when that is not a settled matter.
So I think it would be good to find an alternate word for both reveal and claim. (Except when WP:RS describe something as claim or revelation, I assume.) "Reporting and Opinions" section title, as used in a similar person's bio seems good. Still looking. "WROTE" or "SAID" probably best for text. CarolMooreDC (talk) 15:30, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Kingdom of Haihaiyavansi

message: The latest reference openly calls the king as Rajput rule on page 27- I quote here- 
"The two kingdoms were each subdivided into 18 districts known as garhs (forts), which were under the charge of thakurs or diwans, who owed allegiance to the Rajput King.
Even Grant Duff's source which forms the basis of it calls the clan as Rajput on page 160 ( Editors may check it). Since there are not enough new references on it. I think Saurabh Dube reference would clear it out. In any case this is 1700s and this dynasty and clan were sure referred to as such. RS6784 (talk) 11:53, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Issue with respect to identity of the king
Talk:Philip M. Parker

message: This article formerly said, "Parker estimates that production of a book costs him 12 pence." In support of that statement, it cited a Guardian article. The relevant sentence in the Guardian reads, "Parker estimates that it costs him about 12p to write a book" (note "write", not "produce"). A New York Times article says, "he [Parker] points out that once he has trained the computer to take data about past sales and make complex calculations to project future sales, each new book costs him about 12 cents in electricity." Since Parker lives in the U.S., he would be much more likely to express his expenses in U.S. currency than in British pence.
The actual cost of producing a physical book by the print-on-demand method falls roughly in the $1-to-$5 range. A reasonable estimate of the electricity rates where Parker lives is $0.25 per kilowatt-hour. A desktop computer and monitor together might consume somewhere around 200 watts. So for 12 cents, he could run his computer for about two and a half hours.
Going on this evidence, I think Parker's actual quote probably meant that it costs him 12 cents (U.S.) to run his computer long enough to create the content of a new book.
Additional comment on Parker's production costs can be found in his interview on the O'Reilly Tools of Change site. The tacit understanding there is that the 12 cents is the cost of writing a new book in a genre that has already been programmed (at much greater expense).
