Talk:Benjamin Bastard

message: The RCHM volume for West Dorset (1952) says "The main block was built c.1720, by one of the Bastards according to Hutchins." p217. Wonder where Pevsner got his info from?  There's a load of architectural info about the house (rusticated angles blah blah blah entablatures blah blah blah bolection-moulded architraves blah blah blah etc): shall I add it? Not very good at re-wording to avoid copyvio especially as I haven't the foggiest what a lot of it means.  I could just copy it all on to this page and leave one of you architectural bods to sort it out?  Or doesn't it need that level of detail? Cobwall 15:15, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you realy don't want to add it yourself - then please leave it here with the ref so it can be cited. I'm unsure how much more indepth architectural detail need to be added, as it has to be more or less in language that a layman can understand without having to click on every other word.  It is universally accepted and undisputed, today, that Benjamin Bastard designed the house.

Talk:Sir Hercules

message: I added a hatnote for disambiguation, because as a Sir he could be referred to by any of his names, so Elton John is also a "Sir Hercules". This was removed, but even if it is not worth a hat-note, it may be a notable trivia here. That someone else who has chosen the name 'Hercules' for himself (and also wrote a song 'Hercules' I believe) was also knighted. Considering 'Sir' is just a stage name of the horse (as I do not think horses were knighted) and John's a literal 'Sir', is that at least not worth a mention? Tyciol (talk) 08:53, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No one ever refers to Elton John by his middle name. There is no human named "Sir Hercules". No one is going to refer to Elton John solely by his middle name.

Talk:Hendrick Goltzius

message: It seems to me that this entry is written from a quite evident editorial point of view.  A great many aesthetic judgements are presented here as fact.  For example "In his command of the burin Goltzius is not surpassed even by Dürer; but his technical skill is not equally aided by higher artistic qualities."   What, exactly, are these "higher artistic qualities."  Further, the editorial point of view represented is highly antiquated within the field of art history and the aesthetic judgements are not shared by most scholars working on Goltzius in the best couple of decades.  See, for example, Walter Mellion's essays or the exhibition catalog Hendrick Goltzius (New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2003).

Talk:Chess Assistant

message: A ChessBase article already exists. Chess Assistant offers comparable products. These, as well as SCID and ChessDB (both have articles) are chess database programs that have become central to the practice of chess in the computer age.
As a devoted user of ChessBase products, I am ill-equipped to expand this article as effectively as is needed. But, Chess Assistant is every bit as notable as Shane's Chess Information Database, ChessDB, and Chessbase. Unless these articles also should be deleted, Chess Assistant should remain.
I've removed the deletion notice. When I placed it the article looked like spam - no notability and just a brief line of text and a link.

Talk:Shinkage-ryū

message: This page needs quite a few corrections.  First, regarding the shinai.  The shinai that Kamiizumi is said to have invented is the fukuro-shinai, which is not "strips of bamboo supported in a leather scabbard", but rather a length of bamboo split multiple times on one end, and enclosed in a leather sheath or sleeve.  Also, "shinai" is by no means a pun on the negative of "to die".  That would be "shinanai", and what's more the "-nai" negative wasn't in use in the 1500s.  The word "shinai", while it refers to a bamboo sword and is now written with those characters, is derived from the verb "shinau" 撓う, meaning "to bend, to be supple".  Originally, shinai were referred as 撓竹 "shinai-take" "bending bamboo".
Finally, Yagyu Toshinaga, in his book "Shoden Shinkage-ryu" (正伝新陰流, 1957 Shimazu Shobo) puts the time period that Kamiizumi founded Shinkage-ryu as around age 35, sometime in the 1540s.  If there are no objections, I'll edit the article to reflect the above. JReyer (talk) 15:11, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Paul Frank Limited

message: While its clear that there is a bitter legal battle between Paul Frank Industries and its founder Paul Frank, it's particularly ugly on the PaulFrank.com website's about us page. It makes no mention of Paul's role in founding PFI and just generalizes its founding. It's probably worth recognizing that this Wiki should be critical of PFI's account.

thread_title:  Robert Grossman 

message: Mr.Ollie -- Please help work with me, and help me be a better wikipedia author.  I know that I am a novice wikipedia author.  However, can I please ask you not to remove all of the edits that I am making to a variety of pages.  I am making them in good faith, and I am trying to follow your coaching to use the TALK pages, sign them, and be as transparent as possible about my relationship to the subject matter on the page I'm editing.
E.g., on the SIGKDD page before I made my Nov-2 edit, the page indicated the future tense that the 2012 KDD conference "will" take place in Beijing.  The 2012 conference is now in the past, so I updated that information to indicate that the 2013 KDD conference will take place in Chicago.  I also provided a list of where the previous KDD conferences were held.  I provided external links to the past conference websites, and internal wiki-links to the city names.
I added this information to the SIGKDD page because I thought it would improve the page, providing readers with more information about SIGKDD and the conferences that the organization holds.  I did not ad this material because of any conflict of interest.  In the spirit of full disclosure, I want to say that I have been on the paper review committees of several of these conferences, including the 2012 conference, and I was the Sponsorship Chair at a few of the conferences too.  I think this information makes me knowledgeable about the conferences but is not a conflict of interest.
If the problem with the material I added to the SIGKDD page is the external links to the conference webpages, I will be happy to remove those links.  I have been reading the wikipedia guidelines, and I'm still trying to understand when it's OK to put in external links and when it's not.
Thank you.  I appreciate your coaching to help me be a better wikipedia author and to adjust my style of writing to be appropriate for wikipedia.  Please work with me to help me.

Talk:Francesco Berlinghieri

message: I have added a bit of background information here.  I also made two changes to the entry.  First, I corrected the claim that Berlinghieri was an orator at the Este court of Mantua.  The Este court was located in Ferrara and Berlinghieri was ambassador in Mantua.  This error appears in Jerry Brotton's books cited in this article.  Brotton is a great scholar, and I assume that this was just a typo that unfortunately made it into press. I have cited two appropriate sources to clarify this point.  Along these lines I have changed "orator" to "ambassador."  The 15th century vernacular Italian term "oratore" is better translated in this context as ambassador, given the diplomatic functions of the position.  For this, see the entry "oratore" in the 1659 edition of John Florio's English-Italian dictionary. 
The second substantial change I have made is to clarify the circumstances of the printed edition's dedication.  As the work was printed, it bears a dedication to Federico da Montefeltro.  A letter from Berlinghieri to Sultan Bayezid II states the poet's claim to have dedicated the book to his father Mehmed.  However, the only printed dedication is to Federico.  To clarify this, I have noted the existence of manuscript copies and printed copies of the book that have (hand-written) dedication to particular individuals. These include Sultan Bayezid II, Cem Sultan, Lorenzo de'Medici and Federico da Montefeltro.  I have cited sources on these.
In the interests of transparency, I have included my own doctoral dissertation on this subject in the references. I have not, however, included any of my own research findings here, only corrections that could be verified by citing the established sources listed.
In standard English, Ptolemy's work is known as the "Geography" not the Geographia or Geographica. However, I have not changed this because the wikipedia entry on the work currently lists Geographia as the title. Pending that change, it should also be ammended here.
I have also changed "Federigo da Montefeltro" to "Federico da Montefeltro" the standard spelling that will link to the wiki.

message: This is interesting but poorly written. As soon as I have time, if someone else hasn't done so first, I'm going to rewrite it with attractive language.
I have to say I agree with the above.
I had understood that he took his own life, with a revolver, because he could not stand to be a burden to others. I have always admired him, blackly, for this ultimate act of stoicism.
Fell Run
The point of the "fell Run" was, Starting in Keswick, to climb as many Lakeland peaks in 24 hours, finnishing in Keswick; his time of 25 hours thus voided his attempt. The record for the number of peaks was held for many years by Bob Graham - hence the "Bob Graham Round".
This is outlined in his book "Helvelyn to Himalaya"

message: I agree that this page needs work, especially some citations about why he or the Chinese did some things. I cleaned up the grammar somewhat but it still needs work. I just finished reading The Jungle is Neutral and looked to see if there was a page on Chapman and was delighted to find it. However, I am not interested in doing a major rewrite. 
I deleted one instance of "Spencer-Chapman" as the book (which he wrote) has no hyphen in the author's name. I instead wrote just 'Chapman.' I also deleted words to the effect that he left his boots behind when he escaped from the Japanese. I looked it up in the book and he wrote that several days after he escaped, he put his "shoes back on." He originally went barefoot in his escape so that he could not be traced by his very English soles.  In addition, although he slept between two Japanese soldiers  in a tent, there were are least three Japanese guards outside the tent. So I deleted the text stating the Japanese were all asleep.
