Talk:Eugène Oudin

message: How should the name of the composer of the music for “Serenade” be spelled? Most Westerners now spell it Tchaikovsky, but City Ballet took up, during Balanchine’s lifetime, the spelling Tschaikovsky. Why? Because that’s how the composer spelled it when he was in New York in 1891. (My thanks to the reader who sent me a copy of his Carnegie Hall autograph from the Pierpont Morgan Library.)

I believe the 82% was down to 39% [] earlier this year, but it may not remain that for long, so the sentence shouldn't say now. But does that date apply to that part of the paragraph or just the sentence it's part of?

thread_title:  Royal bank established  

message: It is not that easy to find out the exact number of branches of ANY bank in the UK. This information is usually, as far as I can see, well hidden in the small print of annual reports or in general figures, containing the overall number of branches of all banks and financial institutions thrown together into one figure.
Anyway, the information in this article needs an urgent update. There are no longer any RBS branches in England and Wales - they‘ve either been closed or been rebranded as Natwest. RBS lists on its website three English branches, to be sure. However - one of these is Holt’s Military Banking in Farnborough, which will close later this year, the second is Drummond’s in London, only the third one may count: It’s Berwick-upon-Tweed. 
The latest figure for Scotland as of today is 86. At the end of 2024, it will be 69. Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3gvmvn2yyo 79.202.178.60 (talk) 12:41, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

I have no link to the TV programme or ITV but saw a trailer and loved the concept.

Talk:Provand's Lordship

message: I'm curious to know whether any primary evidence exists to support the beliefs that the Lordship was built in 1471 and that it belonged to the Prebendary of Barlanark / Lord of Provand. The first belief seems to trace back to Nisbet's System of Heraldry, and the second to McUre's View of the City of Glasgow. Neither Nisbet nor McUre were modern historians, and neither cited their sources in this instance. An 1889 study failed to locate any primary sources supporting the popular story of the Lordship's origin and concluded that it was actually a secular tenement dating to the latter half of the 17th century. Newer and better research may have disproved this theory, but it would be nice to see it if so. Zacwill (talk) 16:41, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Glasgow Cathedral

message: The article states that Glasgow Cathedral "unlike many disused and ruined cathedrals in Scotland, it is still a place of active Christian worship".  I am struggling to think of these 'many' cathedrals that are disused and ruined.  St Andrews springs to mind, and there may well be others, but not 'many'.  A few perhaps.  Is the author perhaps getting confused with all of the ruined Abbeys that there are around?  It may sound like I am being picky, but it would be a fundamental misrepresentation of the reformation to use a ruined abbey to make any comment re cathedrals.  It is important to recognise that, at the reformation, the congregations and clergy largely carried on as before but 'reformed'.  The church buildings remained the same and in most cases the person standing at the front remained the same, what changed was the style of worship, the theology, and the governance of the church.  As such, most cathedrals will have carried on in use, at least initially, although their size will have proved difficult to manage for the new style of worship and so they seldom remained unchanged.  This is quide different to an Abbey after the monastary is dissolved.  Some of these buildings continued as parish churches, but their principal purpose no longer existed and that is why they were abandoned.Ewan carmichael (talk) 14:15, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

I have commented this fatuous statement out of the article until such time as anyone who knows can tell us about the other places in the British Isles where both the biggest islands can be seen at once. However, even though I've never visited the Mull, it seems clear to me that if you can see County Antrim over the other side, then you must be able to see the Mull from over there (and anyway, I've checked this out on Google Street View, and yes, you can see it). That makes one more spot in the Isles where both the biggest islands can be seen at once.
