Talk:Boys Nation

message: Claims that Boys Nation is "one of the most selective programs in the United States" are subjective. In order to be verified, one would need to have comprehensive data for every educational program in the United States for comparison. To call Boys Nation highly selective would be OK; to call it one of the most selective is an extraordinary claim, and would require an extraordinary source (better than the College Vine blog).

Talk:Wilnecote

message: Charles Bulmer Maude was Perpetual Curate or incumbent of Wilnecote. Reference books in Maude's lifetime (he died in 1927) refer to Wilnecote as being in Warwickshire although he was at same time Rural Dean of Tamworth. (It is not unknown for rural deaneries, groups of parishes of the Church of England to sometimes cross county boundaries.) I wonder when the county boundary changed?Cloptonson (talk) 21:30, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Just over half of what is now considered Tamworth is historically in Warwickshire (with the county boundary running along the Tame, through the town centre, and up the Ashby Road; places like Glascote, Bolehall, Kettlebrook, Amington, Stonydelph, Wilnecote, Belgrave, Two Gates, Dosthill, and Hockley are all on the Warwickshire side). However, when the first county councils were created in England and Wales (by the Local Government Act 1888, which came into effect in the spring of 1889), a number of urban sanitary districts that straddled county boundaries were put entirely in one county for administrative purposes. This was the case for Tamworth (which was placed entirely in Staffordshire by the LGA 1888), as well as for Burton upon Trent (split between Staffordshire and Derbyshire, and placed entirely in Staffordshire) and 30 or so other places in England and Wales (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Government_Act_1888#Towns_on_county_boundaries). Wilnecote was in the parish of Tamworth (and also the urban sanitary district of Tamworth), and so became administratively part of Staffordshire from 1 April 1889.Herbaltablet (talk) 13:55, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

thread_title: Journalisted - External Links

message: Users keeps making a claim of homophobia against Joe Haines on the basis of a column by Haines which attacked Freddie Mercury just after he had died from AIDS. The source most recently added is a broken link, but a reprint of a tabloid source is insufficient to establish notability. See also Identifying reliable sources. The genuinely repulsive article itself is not enough, as conclusions drawn from the article are liable to considered original research, even the one which does look rather obvious. While there is some material online, mainly in articles referring to the Waterson song, there are no substantive account in an RS currently available. As this article is a WP:BLP, we need especially good citations to avoid anything potentially libellous. Philip Cross (talk) 17:35, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: No doubt Haines is homophobic, but the comments about Driberg are not entirely inaccurate. See the Wikipedia article and Francis Wheen's biography, although Driberg does not seem to have done anything in his sex life which would now be illegal, as I recall.

text: Hi RudolfoMD.  Since the INN for the drug is Mitomycin and the drug is probably the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, I agree that Mitomycin-C should be moved to Mitomycin.  The only remaining question is what to call the current Mitomycin article.  Per WP:PLURAL, the singular is generally preferred, but the plural may be used for  groups or classes of specific things. Therefore "Mitomycins" should work.  However some might find it confusing to have on article on Mitomycin and a second on Mitomycins.  Perhaps it would be better to move the current article to "Mitomycin (natural product)".  Cheers. Boghog (talk) 09:51, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

message: The example given of an anthroponym: For example, the English name Fishburn preserves -burn, from an older bourn, an Old English word meaning "brook", which has dropped out of common standard English usage   is unsuitable, as burn is still in common English usage, and bourn and bourne are still in dictionaries and used in written texts, although less commonly heard in speech.  They all derive from the Old English burna.

Anthroponomastics on the other hand is, in fact, the study of personal names or human names.

Yes, the benign ones are obviously not "sarcomas."  But the borderline and malignant ones definitely ARE sarcomas, as indicated by their name (cystosarcoma phylloides) and references like the first one on Google.
