Talk:A Life of Grime

message: Quote: "Its appeal was due to a disgust factor and the eccentric but often lucid characters encountered either hoarding rubbish or keeping huge numbers of animals, most famously Edmund Trebus."
-I'm not a native English speaker, but to me this sentence sounds a little too much like, "Trebus was the most famous animal to have been kept by the eccentric or lucid characters".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.203.102.101 (talk) 23:05, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Common sole

message: The Dover Sole is a prized catch and an expensive fish therefore it pays to know what to look for when buying. There are other similar looking fish. All true Dover Sole have a very distinctive eliptical black spot/tip to the upper pectoral fin (the fin in the middle, on top near the gill case opening). The photograph is poor and does not reflect this feature. No reputable or knowledgable fishmonger will sell a Dover Sole without this feature. Its cuisine is so highly regarded that most commercial fisherman are careful not to miss this Sole and likewise most pro chefs wont pay Dover Sole prices for a fish without the black tipped fin.
The flesh is rather robust for a flat fish and wonderfully rich and Dovers are usually presented on the plate as whole unfilleted fish (minus the gut obviously) as they are so easy to dismantle and look fabulous. 
The main article needs to reflect the importance of the Dover a little more. I dont personnaly feel qualified to edit the main page but I suggest Alan Davidson's award winning and classic "North Atlantic Seafood" (1979) as a good start and excellent respected referrence.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.26.107.105 (talk) 20:46, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

replies: text:  Was this sullen rant written by one of that pair of ugly dikes who appeared in the doco about Jennifer? Who complained about her being ‘bossy’? Schoolgirl sniping.
The very appeal of this show was the engaging amateurishness of a duo of grotesque females who could nonetheless cook up a storm. If they truly detested each other, then they were in fact peerless professionals. Not a whit of animosity emerged on screen.
According to newspapers the two had never met before the show. Clarissa was of a substantial intellect and had been a barrister (the youngest in UK history?) during the 70s and 80s. While Jennifer disliked Clarissa, the dislike was not reciprocated. Jennifer was a professional cook for most of her life, while Clarissa had only turned to semi professional cooking as a means of income after leaving the UK Bar.220.240.228.205 (talk) 11:34, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Why the use of the present tense?  I guess this is because episodes are re-broadcast and/or available for rent or purchase, so the show remains in-effect current. Nu?

Talk:Percy Alexander MacMahon

message: Some of the material in this article is copied verbatim from the doctoral thesis of Paul Garcia.  For example, this passage appears in chapter 2:
:This period of sick leave was one of the most significant occurrences in MacMahon’s life. Had he remained in India he would undoubtedly have been caught up in Roberts’s War against the Afghans, a bloody adventure which lasted two years and achieved nothing, neither in a military nor a political sense.
It seems likely that the material appears here with Dr. Garcia's permission, or at least his acquiescence, since someone appearing to be him has edited the article.  I am about to try to obtain his formal permission to use this material.  —Mark Dominus (talk) 13:02, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Percy Ernst Schramm

message: Perhaps this is me, but this article rather downplays the fact that Schramm was a National Socialist. There was a reason why Hitler selected Schramm to write the official history of the Wehrmacht that was intended to be published once Germany won the war. Yes, it is true that Schramm was a famous and widely respected medievalist, considered to be one of the world's leading authorities on medieval German history, but just being a respected historian does not mean that one cannot be a National Socialist at the same time. The article rather downplays the reasons for post-war controversy about Schramm's writing, namely his barely veiled admiration for Hitler that he was still expressing as late as 1962. Just saying that because he came from an upper-middle class family and Germans who from this sort of Protestant bürgerlich background were easily manipulated by Hitler makes it sound that Schramm was a sort of victim of Hitler rather than his willing follower. It all seems rather apologetic. And the same way this article draws a contrast between the "professionalism" of the Wehrmacht officer corps with Hitler's "irrationality". It repeats a theme of Schramm's writings on World War II-namely that the Second World War was a justified struggle on the part of Germany's part to win "world power status" that unfortunately the Nazis were not as good as waging as they should have been.--A.S.

replies: text: Hello, thanks for asking, I would go with "no" on your first statement, because he is primarily notable as a writer from Bosnia and Herzegovina ("LEDE"). He was born into Bosnian Serb family (Subsection, "Early life"), and his political activism is secondary to his writing. So, yeah, I do believe it should be avoided in the Lede.--౪ Santa ౪99° 21:52, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

text: His writing and political career are equally important. Kočić was a prominent Serb nationalist in Bosnia, and thus his ethnicity is notable to be included in the first paragraph. And as far as I know, there isn't a dispute regarding his ethnicity. My recommendation would be to either keep the ethnicity and nationality or to remove both entirely, but I find that both are equally important, so it is a keep from me. I've also found that academic sources tend to describe him more as "Bosnian Serb" or just "Serbian", but in my opinion, Bosnian Serb is more descriptive and correct.
