Talk:Carol Shields

message: I have found sources stating that she taught in the University of Ontario from 1977 to 1988 and moved to Winnipeg in 1990, and others (Times obit) saying she taught in Ontario for one year, and went to Winnipeg in 1980. Since every source I could find agrees she taught for 20 years in the Univesity of Manitoba, and that she had been in Winnipeg for 16 years before being appointed Chancellor of the University of Winnipeg, I have asumed that the first sources were off by a decade. However, if you know anything that cannot be found with a google search, please correct the article.

message: I've rephrased the statement on the most recent Pointer Sisters gig ie. February 11 2012 in Metairie LA omitting the assertion that Ruth stated onstage that she was the only original group member: if she was simply referencing that specific gig's lineup then her statement's irrelevant to the article; if the implication was that she would be the only original member to perform with the Pointer Sisters from now on then that especially needs to be sourced.Cherrylimerickey (talk) 01:05, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: The1998 book The Jewish Book of Lists says on page 156 that "Other famous converts [to Judaism] include singer Helen Reddy and actress Kate Capshaw, Steven Spielberg's wife.

text: More recent online sources are saying she converted in 1968 just before marrying her Jewish manager Jeff Wald. He was controlling and dominating.

thread_title:  Ethnicity 

message: The article says "During Reddy's childhood, she was educated at Tintern Grammar", with this source. Digging a little deeper in that source, it's apparent that Reddy left that school when she was around twelve years old to attend "a local Hawthorn secondary school" because Tintern relocated to a new campus 30 km (20 miles) away. She eventually left school "at 15 to join a travelling theatrical company". I can't identify what that secondary school was. It may be one that no longer exists. The Infobox also say says Tintern Grammar for Reddy's Education. Saying she was educated at Tintern isn't technically wrong, but is just a little bit misleading.

message: As a young teen I met the then Mrs Waterfield and on occasions was invited to visit with her in her home in Orange County, California. She was always gracious and inviting, found my artwork of value, and engaged me in conversation on a range of topics. I was both aware that she had been an important star and that her husband, who I never met, was a famous football star and coach with the Rams. As neither much of a filmgoer nor particularly a football fan, I have no memory of being intimidated when in her company, just welcome and comfortable. Jane insisted we do my astrological chart and I can still remember her intensity while doing the math and her apparent depth of knowledge on the subject. This is admittedly not much of a "Hollywood" story... yet it occurred to me that it might do no harm to mention that (beyond her cinema life and fame) "Jane Russell" presented herself to a then 14 year old kid as a relaxedly welcoming and intelligent woman, and a tremendously kind and often broadly funny hostess to whose home I was always made to feel welcome, and of worth.

Talk:Cindel Towani

message: This page was recently nominated for deletion, and the consensus decision was to keep it. The deletion debate is archived here. ugen64 21:57, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: RotJ takes place 4 ABY.  If Cindel was born around 0 BBY, and is 4 in the movie, that means that Battle for Endor probably takes place during the same year as RotJ.  Caravan of Courage took place between ESB and RotJ, and Battle for Endor takes place 6 months after that.  There is only about a year between ESB and RotJ.  Due to these timeline hints, it's clear that Battle for Endor takes place right around the time of RotJ.  It's possible the Ewok Adventure stories ended before RotJ, but they certainly didn't start after.  So the line about RotJ being over before the Towanis crashed is clearly false.

Talk:2005 Kyrgyz parliamentary election

message: This article is somewhat slanted in favour of the anti-government forces. Who made the accusations in the article against the government?  If the government is so bad, why were they able to make the assertions in the press?  What about the reports of violent actions by those opposing their government? Aren't these people terrorists and rioters?  
Is there more than one group? Where does the military stand? Might there be a coup de etat or civil war?
Who is behind the expulsion of the government? Revolutions don't just happen. They require planning and funding.
What are the sources of this information? Are the opposition in favour of democracy If so, when will they be holding elections?  Will they have observers present? Provided by whom?
Did the Kyrgyz administration or ruling party have websites? Can anyone provide or locate a translation?
What are other countries' and international organisations' reactions? Have they made statements about the reigeme?
*UN, Red Cross, Amnesty international
*The G8 countries
*Neighbours: Russia  , Uzbekistan , Kazakhstan, Tajikistan
*Others: Turkey , Australia 
*Who are the relevant spokespeople for these organisations and countries?
Wouldn't they have done better to let the vote be almost even, then force the issue, gerrymander and rig the ballots in a few key states?  What were they hoping to achieve with such a large majority? Who did they think would believe it? Does the history of the country affect this, and perhaps the proximity to the Russian experience with Putin?

This is unclear. Presumably by "efforts" is meant her work, both recorded and otherwise? If so, that should be stated. Why "as a result"? Surely those words are entirely redundant - or is there some subtlety as yet hidden to me?
Presumably this observation, whatever it precisely is, ought to be made later in the article, too, and even expanded upon (insofar as the source allows), rather than left in the lead as it is. Harfarhs (talk) 11:12, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

The citations were to the Diocese of Oxford (of the Anglican Church).  I clarified that the church itself was an Anglican Church, not if the funeral was Catholic or not.  Given the name of the church, I feel that clarifying that the church is Anglican, and not Roman Catholic is completely appropriate.  I did not have the knowledge of whether the funeral was Catholic or not, so I did not attempt to cite that.
