Some of this may well be legitimate (but no evidence whatsoever is offered as to why), the trouble with the editor's actions is that the article is carefully anchored in published academic commentary. It is possible the Anonymous editor might be correct in their assertion Angela Brazil was not as innovative as the article suggested (I disagree from my research however), but that cannot justify removing properly sourced claims just because you disagree with them without prior discussion.
I will not revert at this stage, I feel it is more helpful to give some time for this issue to be discussed in talk, as it should have been originally prior to these changes. Mesmacat (talk) 03:13, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Work by Anonymous Editor

message: The writer's choice of this name is probably influenced not so much by Sappho as by Catullus, the Roman poet who addressed lots of poems to a girl of the same name, but actually dedicated them to a girl called Clodia (which has the same metric value), who was already married to someone else.

message: Actually, Romantic friendship was quite common for the time period, and not viewed as being lesbian or not normal or anything like that.

Category talk:Villages in East Sussex

message: I think it is much more satisfactory to have a category such as this rather than the List of places in East Sussex since, so long as the appropriate reference is applied in the relevant article, the reference will appear. In the case of the List article, it requires a definite step to add to it - hence the fact that few of these villages appear on that list! 
I realise that the title of the above List is one applied to all counties, but I question the efficacy of it. The List does not differentiate between city/town/village does it?  Peter Shearan 19:10, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have now completed taking all the civil parishes listed in List of civil parishes in East Sussex, and writing a basic article for each. I know that in some cases a particular civil parish might encompass another settlement, usually hamlets, but there is no overall map of these parishes to enable me to judge what they are. I have used the map here which is of ancient ecclesiastical parishes, and many of those have the same boundaries, but this isn't always the case. At least this list shows over one hundred villages in the county! Peter Shearan 14:43, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Charlotte (singer) 

message: Seeing as the article needed a major makeover, I decided to make some changes to it, including adding an artist infobox for her and some slimming down of content. To me, it looked less like an encyclopedic article and more of something blatantly cut-and-pasted from her MySpace onto Wikipedia. 
On top of that, it looked awful without the Wiki formatting and such.
It still needs some work, so if anyone else can add some more reliable sources (i.e. print) on Charlotte Kelly, feel free to do so. It would be greatly appreciated. ;) Miss kat (talk) 02:16, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Time signatures are a fundamental concept to most of music and common time is the most frequent time signature in western music and much other music; the assertion that common time (a poorly punctuated form of the proper noun 'Common Time') is the primary topic stems from the fact it is a high-level generic concept, while Common Time is a single entity.

Talk:Race stage

message: I think that we should re-categorize the different stages as:
* mass-start stage
* individual time-trial stage
* team time-trial stage
I have never heard of a stage being officially called a breakaway stage.  A rolling stage, maybe, with a few climbs thrown in.  I think that classifying stages by  its terrain is fine, but strong prediction of the stage outcome is not a good idea ;-).  Jacky Durand is certainly not deterred by these predictions.
I'm also thinking of writing more information directly pertinent to Stage Race, which is currently redirected here.

Talk:Jefferson Barracks Military Post

message: "Jefferson Barracks was designated the first "Infantry School of Practice," the first basic training site for the Army."
Please tell me where you found this statement? I am an Army retiree who has studied the history of the Army, and am writing about Army units and installations elsewhere on Wikipedia, and I can say knowingly that this is not true. Indeed, the first Basic Training posts for the US Army were the State Militia training posts in each State, and the first formal Basic Training Post was located at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, during the Revolution. Washington was the Commander, and Von Steuben was the Senior Trainer. Jeffe3rson Barracks came a long time after Valley Forge.

Talk:Wallaceburg

message: I would be interested in information about the history of the French-speaking community in the Wallaceburg area.  My grandparents were born there I believe in the 1890s.  The family name was Hebert.  My grandparents emigrated to the United States (Detroit, MI) after their first three children were born.  These three children had a somewhat difficult time with the transition, since they didn't speak English (or at least not very well).
I have always been curious to know how a French-speaking community got to be in Wallaceburg, so far from the traditional French area of Quebec.  Were they missionaries to the area before it was settled, and just decided to stay on?  Was there a trend at some point of Quebecois moving west to find greater opportunity?  Are there any geneological resources that might help me trace my grandparents' ancestors further back?
Thanks,

Talk:Lothar von Richthofen

message: I do not believe the story about Lothar shooting down Ball to be true. I believe Ball was killed when he flew past machine-gunner placed in a clock tower. Can someone please check the validity of that claim? Perhaps it was just propaganda?
:There are many versions with regards to Ball's death. One is the machine gun story as you mentioned. An other is that Ball and Richthofen did indeed face eachother in Ball's final fight. Both planes went down after the dogfight, Ball died, Richthofen survived. Although Germany officially credited Lothar von Richthofen with downing Ball, there was little or no evidence to substantiate the claim. 
:Moments before Ball's plane crashed, Leutnant Hailer, a German officer on the ground, witnessed Ball's undamaged aircraft emerge alone from the clouds, 200 feet above the ground in an inverted position with a dead prop. So most likely Ball encountered engine failure and simply crashed killing him. Nonentheless the Germans officially credited Lothar with Ball's killing so it should be mentioned but perhaps with a proviso as to the doubts.
:Given the eye witness account, I personally, subscribe to the latter version - Ball engaged a German plane, got lost in the clouds and got disoriented, probably stalled and encountered engine trouble and then crashed... Why don't I subscribe to the machine gun theory? According to several sources, neither Ball's bodily remains nor the plane did show "battle damage" (in other words; bullet holes)... As to the identity of the German pilot... he was from Richthofen's flying circus... that's for sure but wether it was really Lothar is an other matter as some say that Lothar was recovering from battle wounds at the time of Ball's death and was thus inactive. --fdewaele 10 January 2006, 21:30 CET
::BTW please sign your comments --fdewaele 10 January 2006, 21:31 CET
----
The canard about the gun in the tower stems from Arch Whitehouse's writings. Whitehouse seldom let the facts stand in the way of a good story. The idea that a British pilot would expose himself to German ground fire just to read the time from a clock tower is nonsensical. Instead of trying to get himself killed that way, why wouldn't Ball simply look at his own watch?
It's time someone buried this implausible idiotic tale and drove a stake through its heart.

Talk:Collateral estoppel

message: : courts are more hesitant to apply collateral estoppel if the same plaintiff in a previous action is sued by a new defendant for the same issue.
Huh?  Shouldn't this read the opposite, applying when a new plaintiff sues the same defendant for the same issue?  It makes more sense that a defendant would be sued twice for an issue than that a plaintiff would win on the issue and then get sued by someone else (who would, anyway, then be the plaintiff in the new action). Ari 20:01, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The first paragraph discussing the Full Faith and Credit Clause concerns claim preclusion -- not issue preclusion. Claim preclusion and issue preclusion are NOT the same thing.
The basic differences are...
Issue Preclusion:
A sues B and A wins. Then, C wants to sue A. C thinks that A should be prevented (precluded) from using the same defense he used against A because C's suit is so similar. Parklane Hosiery Co. v. Shore, a US Supreme Court case, is better to use in this article's section on Mutuality. It also discusses several other issue preclusion analysis points. Bernhard v. Bank of America is only a CA Supreme Court case.
Claim Preclusion:
A sues B for breach of contract. A wins. Now, A decided he wants to sue B again for negligence. Should A be precluded (prevented) from bringing this new claim against B? This has many analysis points and some states use different legal tests. The Full Faith and Credit Clause comes into play here. It basically says that states have to respect the laws from other states. So, let's say A's first breach suit is in the State of Dog. A's second suit is filed in the State of Cat. Cat has to follow the rules from Dog.

Talk:Almeida Garrett

message: _ _ Full name "João Baptista da Silva Leitão de Almeida Garrett" per article; dubbed (and ennobled as?) Visconde de Almeida Garrett. His confusing name situation needs clarification. My take is that "Almeida" is a given name, not the first half of a surname "Almeida Garrett", and that "vicount of Almeida" is kind of a pun, since his given name is the name of a place in Portugal. I note that the 6th ed'n of Columbia Encyclopedia makes him "Garrett, Joao Batista de Almeida" and EB on line makes him "Garrett, João Baptista da Silva Leitão de Almeida, Visconde (viscount) De Almeida Garrett" (as well as "João Baptista da Silva Leitão de Almeida Garrett, viscount de Almeida Garrett").
