Talk:Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William McKinley, and Me, Elizabeth

message: At the end of chapter 5, the reader learns indirectly that Jennifer is the only black child in school, unless she has a sibling. "Performance for the [PTA] went much better. ... I knew it was Jennifer's mother because she was the only Black mother there." (Third Aladdin edition, p. 56) Perhaps there has been critical comment on this unusual device.
Vaguely I recall some hint about Caribbean background, but it may be that Julian Singh the new boy in The View from Saturday has moved into town from a cruise ship, and witchcraft has suggested Caribbean background to me in this case. 
P.S. Today I completed a major revision and upgraded this from Stub to C, twice. --P64 (talk) 21:54, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

*View from Saturday, age 8-12, grade 4-6

message: E. L. Konigsburg, Interview Transcript. No date. Scholastic Teachers. scholastic.com. —(interjection 2012-01-05) date evidently between 1996 month?? publication of her The View From Saturday and 2000 March 30 death of her "forever editor" Jean E. Karl.
This exchange from the interview directly concerns Jennifer, Hecate ....
:Do you ever had problems with censorship? What is in that file?
:Yeah, I do. There are people who don't like Jennifer, Hecate . . . because the little girl pretends to be a witch. And there were people who objected to Claudia and Jamie standing on the toilets at the Met - they said children might try it and fall in. I've had a story in Altogether, One at a Time censored, too. A little girl calls another child a "nigger," and people didn't like that. In the files, there are articles and letters about these things, and about other cases of censorship.
:Are there any books or art that you think should be censored? Why or why not?
:No. I don't think there are any.

Talk:Angel Pavement

message: It is often paired with English Journey (1934).
:What does this mean? Actually sold in a 2-volume set, one fiction and one non-fiction? It sounds unlikely. Also the statement (from the lede) is not represented in the article. Valetude (talk) 18:25, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Struggling also. No corresponding claim at English Journey. Same publisher and year, of course, so would have made sense from a publishing point of view. But still "often paired", after 84 years? Seems unlikely. Regardless of the actual meaning, if it's not included in main body and not even sourced, I think it should go. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:39, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I know it's nit-picking, but the two books were actually published four years apart, and the author wrote at least two other major novels in the 30's on a theme of Depression England. Valetude (talk) 22:41, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Talk:German income approach

message: I am a bit confused between the Liegenschaftszins and Liegenschaftzinssatz: If I understood correctly, the former is the rental value while the latter is the yield. If so, why do you compare the Liegenschaftszins to the All Risks Yield, which is a) a ratio (percentage) and b) is the yield on the whole of the property, land and improvements included? Tkeu 16:40, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: That's a consequence of the small Latvian Wikipedia. As virtually every Latvian is bilingual or trilingual, there is less motivation in maintaining a thorough encyclopaedia in Latvian. -- Avellano (talk) 17:49, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  No Latvian article? 

message: The sources in the article that claim the drink to be the flu remedy do not appear to say that, at least on a first glance. Also, I have not found any scientific studies that suggests that this so called remedy works. If it is actually a flu remedy this article needs better sourcing. --MATThematical (talk) 18:19, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Flu Remedy 

message: The reference used to back up the assertion that it is used to treat digestive problems is the PDF "Protection Of Civil Populations From The Spill Of Toxic Materials During The Movement Of Military Goods" and consists of one tiny paragraph on page 16: "Black Balsam: Latvia has a special drink known as Riga Black Balsam. If you have a problem with digestion it will cure it. If you don’t, rumor is that it will create one. But I’m very pleased to have tried it in an open air museum displaying the architecture of rural Latvia." This is not an adequate reference, and indeed I think the article needs some much better research with citations to actual encyclopedic references. As it is, the existing two references look like someone added them as a joke. Arkady Rose (talk) 00:41, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Is it possible to start the timeline at 26 August 1676, the date the first Prime Minister (Robert Walpole) was born? --Philip Stevens 19:29, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah... that depends how you actually define Prime minister.  The UK has no constitution so that definition is a grey area - in fact it has even be declared in Parliament that the UK has no PM!  One could even acknowlegde Oliver Cromwell to be the very first PM.  Or one could even go back as far as the Model Parliament in the 13th century.  Walpole is only the traditional de facto first, not having been defined as such anywhere.  Anyway, the graphic would be huge if it went back even to Walpole.  --Jubilee♫clipman 16:19, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Start at Walpole 

message: The graph indicates that Thatcher was not in Parliament after the early 1990s - but she was made a life peer, and remained an active Tory politician in the House of Lords. Either the key should be altered from Parliament to House of Commons, or this should be changed.82.2.82.164 (talk) 20:46, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That applies to quite a few actually.  Parliament includes both houses, so it should simply state "not in Commons" or include the time in the Lords (as yet another colour).  --Jubilee♫clipman 16:30, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There are two other complications to consider. First, some of the Prime Ministers led from the Lords and never sat in the Commons. Second, there is currently no mechanism for retirement from the Lords. Thatcher could walk into the Lords chamber today and be allowed to cast a vote on anything that comes up. Anyone in the Lords would have to be shown on the graph as active until their death. Road Wizard (talk) 16:54, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Added refs 

message: Recently, editor  changed the image located on this page to a higher quality version of the same image (see change). I removed this image entirely (see change) for a couple of reasons. First, the non-free content policy requires us to have a separate, specific non-free rationale for each use of a non-free image. The image was lacking this rationale. Secondly, there is a claim that this image is used as the logo of the organization, which I believe is incorrect. I looked at the sites of the linked organizations in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. The image does not appear on any of those websites, and certainly not as a logo. I did find a similar image on the UK site () but the expression on his face in this image is not the same, and it is a different image. Regardless, the image is not used as a "logo". I think where confusion has happened is that The Winston Churchill Foundation of the United States (website) does use a derivative of this image, apparently as a logo. But, this foundation is not part of nor apparently affiliated with the trust. As a result, I do not believe either version of this image is appropriate for this article. I have therefore orphaned the non-free image :File:Churchill-trust-logo.jpg and tagged it as such. --Hammersoft (talk) 16:40, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

It's always taken that way in notability discussions. Why would we have an article for a notable album and then not have an article for the band that released the album? The band's only of interest because it releases music of interest (as with painters, sculptors, dramaturgists, etc.). Chubbles (talk) 00:48, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
