Talk:Wilfrid Kent Hughes

message: "He became a strong supporter of Taiwan, serving as Ambassador to that country in 1966" what does this mean? That he was Australian Ambassador to the Republic of China, while still an MP? I don't think so. I am away from my references at the moment and can't check, but this must mean something other than what it appears to mean. Adam 05:41, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I got that from the The Times obit, which reads "He was Australian ambassador to Taiwan in 1966".  The possibility that he could have been both MP and ambassador seemed odd to me as well but accepted it because it was The Times.  After further digging, I note that he was Australia's representative for the inauguration of Chiang Kai-Shek's 4th term in office in 1966.  It is possible that The Times confused the two.  --Roisterer 13:27, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: It took me a while to find it as well. IIRC, it was under "Hughes" but after all the William Hughes's (I'm at work and can't check at the moment. --Roisterer (talk) 04:40, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The phrase: "his impact on the modern Olympic Games cannot be underestimated", will be criticised at FAC as not NPOV unless sourced (and maybe even then).--Grahame (talk) 05:39, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The article has now been listed as GA.  Well done with the work on the article to date.  I have made some further minor changes as well.  To assist with getting through the backlog, please consider reviewing an article listed at WP:GAN.  Cheers, Mattinbgn\talk 07:40, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I made a change, but it still doesn't seem right. My qualm is that the line (original) paints him as a fascist, which he is not, despite calling himself one. It's like an orange calling itself an apple, and writing all about how it's an apple, but it has no idea what constitutes being an apple and is in fact not one.

replies: text: If I may comment further, be careful with the tone of this article. He is coming across as a cultivated, capitalist buffoon. Of course, if that is what he was (I have my doubts), carry on. Michael talk 05:30, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  He certainly wasn't a buffoon, as can be testified by his Rhodes Scholarship etc. He was very outspoken and never seemed to care about the possible repercussions of his outspokenness. If you could point out some of the more glaring examples, I will see how I can address them. --Roisterer (talk) 05:55, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It was more a general remark, not criticism; the article is splendid. But I might take a closer look and see what I can find. Of course, when you're finished (I'm assuming you're running the stretch to FA?) that would be the best time. Michael talk 06:22, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  No problems, I didn't take it as criticism, rather comments from respected editors who have the odd FA to their name. At the moment I am just hoping to get this to GA but I will see how I go afterwards. --Roisterer (talk) 12:16, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
