Talk:Delino Dexter Calvin

message: B Class Criteria
1. Needs work:    The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations where necessary. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited. Any format of inline citation is acceptable: the use of ref tags and citation templates such as cite web is optional.
2. Good    The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. It contains a large proportion of the material necessary for an A-Class article, although some sections may need expansion, and some less important topics may be missing.
3. Good    The article has a defined structure. Content should be organized into groups of related material, including a lead section and all the sections that can reasonably be included in an article of its kind.
4. Good    The article is reasonably well-written. The prose contains no major grammatical errors and flows sensibly, but it certainly need not be "brilliant". The Manual of Style need not be followed rigorously.
5. Good    The article contains supporting materials where appropriate. Illustrations are encouraged, though not required. Diagrams and an infobox etc. should be included where they are relevant and useful to the content.
6. Good    The article presents its content in an appropriately understandable way. It is written with as broad an audience in mind as possible. Although Wikipedia is more than just a general encyclopedia, the article should not assume unnecessary technical background and technical terms should be explained or avoided where possible.
Overall doing very well, just needs a greater variety of sources.  1bandsaw (talk) 16:21, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Deneys Reitz

message: I have removed the following elaboration, which does not appear in my 1929 copy of "Commando": 
"Reitz thanked Vivian and indicated that he did not feel justified in taking them.  Reitz recorded Vivian's reply:
"It's the fortunes of war, boy just the fortunes of war.  You can't worry about such things, they just happen.  If you don't take them, somebody else will.  Besides, if I give them to you they will be a gift - which is better than loot"
This story has a sequel. In his introduction to the 1983 Jonathan Ball edition of Commando, Thomas Pakenham recounted the following story:
Forty years after the Battle of Elands River, in 1943, when Reitz was South African High Commissioner in London, he met Lord Vivian again.  Vivan appeared at South Africa House in London, carrying a brown paper parcel, and was taken to Reitz's office.  He told him that they had met before in less auspicious circumstances, and perhaps he would recognise what was in the parcel.  He then placed on the desk Reitz's old Boer War Mauser rifle - with his name carved on the butt, and with all the scratches and cuts made by his knife when he had cut his biltong, still visible.  Reitz was absolutely speechless. 
However, the rifle could not have been returned to him by Lord Vivian in 1943 as claimed because Vivian died in 1940!" 
Reitz reports that he met Lord Vivian in London in 1935, on excellent terms, but the 1943 version of "No Outspan" which is open in front of me makes no mention of the rifle, nor does "Commando" (the 1929 version) report any direct speech between the two. I would also think it rather odd to leave prisoners of war with working weapons. In short, I suspect that the authentic story told by Reitz has been "improved" by subsequent authors.

replies: text: I've done a little research into the matter, including looking at book titles on him going back to the 19th Century. It appears that both spellings were used in reference to him, even back in his day. Not sure what he used himself.

Talk:Jean Baptiste Baby

message: On the name "Baby Creek"
"Baby Creek" was named for the Jacques Duperon Baby family, who were prominent land owners in Old Detroit.
In particular, James Baby, Esq. (1763-1833), the son of Duperon Baby, was the owner of Private Claim No. 60, which contained grist mills along the first fork of the Rouge River, also known as Baby Creek.
For the spelling, and references to the family, vol. 7 of the John Askin papers, a portion of the Burton Historical Collection:
http://archive.lib.msu.edu/MMM/JA/09/a/JA09a001p009.pdf
And from the American State Papers, "Land Titles in the Michigan Territories", determination of Private Claim No. 60, see

Also see Wikipedia bio for Jacques Baby:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Baby
which is based on the Dictionary of Canadian Biography:
http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio.php?id_nbr=1743
To get the pronunciation right it is sometimes spelled as "Baubee Creek".  For example, see "Public Acts of the Legislature of the State of Michigan Passed at the Annual Session of 1837":
http://books.google.com/books?id=sRM4AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA90&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&sig=ACfU3U0bHsfgTQaujxzKIBrfUoSm4VKnsQ&ci=235%2C342%2C669%2C523&edge=0
Silas Farmer's "History of Detroit Michigan", published in 1890, has it both ways:  "Baby Creek" and "Baubee Creek"; see

Talk:Denzil Holles, 1st Baron Holles

message: Denzil Holles was not buried in St Margaret's Church, in Ifield, Sussex; he was buried in Westminster Abbey. His family are buried in Ifield (now part of Crawley), but not he himself.
The Holles family vault, in St Margaret's Church, Ifield, began to fill from 1662. This suggests Denzil Holles was living here at this time; but he had several manor houses in the South of England, including London. Holles's importance allowed his body the honour of the Abbey; but his family, of lesser importance, were buried in Ifield Parish Church. Peter symonds 18:31, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
