Talk:A. K. Chesterton

message: I found an old typescript called Leopard Vally by A.K. Chesterton. Can anyone enlighten me. Cathel (talk) 12:15, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Leopard Valley 

message: Much of this article would appear to be factually incorrect and its sources either uncited or unreliable, if one is to believe the entry for AK Chesterton in the online Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. For example, according to the opening paragraph of the latter:
 The article needs to be checked thoroughly, therefore, from start to finish for factual inaccuracies. 101.163.21.119 (talk) 19:35, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Anything about A.K. Chesterton on Wikipedia is bound to be inaccurate. Anyone who understands A.K. and the "people" who run Wikipedia should understand this. 47.137.191.83 (talk) 06:31, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unreliable and full of factual errors 

message: His war experience was crucial to his repudiation of democracy.
:This needs rationalizing, in addition to the 'citation needed' tag currently in place. Valetude (talk) 18:17, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clarify, please 

message: What does this even mean, The article implies that it means he was opposed to the breakup of the British Empire, but that was happening anyway, due to Britain's stupid and asinine policies.  I thought that Wikipedia adhered to a NPOV policy.  Apparently not. 47.137.191.83 (talk) 06:25, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  given context and era I have removed, not to mention it was unsourced. I have kept far-right, which is closer to the language used at the time. Alexandre8 (talk) 10:29, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Extremist right wing in the intro? 

message: I have rewritten the introduction making some, what I hope, are stylistic improvements. I have added relevant links as well. Alexandre8 (talk) 10:28, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: That's great, , now we're back to the self-contradiction of the infobox stating "first cousin" and the article text "second cousin" for the relation with G.K. Chesterton.
The reference for "second cousin", on top of that, is a WP:BOMBARD of three consecutive references. 
I believe that I had researched this properly. If you do think I have made an error, please decide on which reference you are using, and use it explicitly, ideally with a quote. 
I cannot be bothered to fix this now, please clean this up yourself. 
The reference for the statement that his Portrait of a Leader was Mosley's official biography, btw, which you have removed as "unreferenced", was LeCras p. 6. I didn't check what other information taken from LeCras you may have removed. Put it back please.

replies: text: yes sorry I had forgotten to changed it in the infobox. Three references do not qualify as an WP:OVERKILL. What is your source for the genealogy? I don't see it in the previous version. You can check the ones I have added + geni.com. Alcaios (talk) 11:10, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

text: PS: the statement  was unsourced in the article. Please check the previous versions. Alcaios (talk) 11:13, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

text: PS2:  I have replaced LeCras's thesis with another work by the very same author, LeCras (2019), whenever I could since a published work supersedes a thesis as per WP:SCHOLARSHIP. Please attentively check the nature of sources you have used and the ones that have been added to the article before commenting. Alcaios (talk) 11:16, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: "improvements"

message: In August 1918, he received his commission as second lieutenant... Chesterton served over two years on the Western Front.
:Don't you mean August 1916? Valetude (talk) 16:19, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dates? 

message: The article refers to two books.
”The new unhappy Lords” (1965)
”The new happy Lord” (1965)
however it seems like the 2nd does not exist, and is most likely a typo.
These book names are linked to references 30 and 31. 86.2.132.201 (talk) 09:16, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
