Talk:Godfrey McCulloch

message: The article states that either the fantastic gnome escape or the epic headless marathon are "unlikely." This characterization does not follow Wikipedia's principle of neutrality. It is also unsourced (original research?).

There is another turf sided lock on the River Wey, but I don't think it is still naviagble. Having checked a couple of books & emailed one of the authors I don't think there is another working turf sided lock in Britain.— Rod talk 08:08, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Basically the sides are more sloping than other locks (so it takes longer to fill) & almost like a "V" shape - much wider at the top than bottom & with vegetation up the sides.— Rod talk 08:08, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Godfrey Timmins

message: Snappy/To whom it may concern,
1) Ultimately, who is responsible for the editing/maintenance of Wikipedia articles? I understand that editing can be carried out "by anyone" but is it not the case that there are certain members with greater powers that others?
2) What criteria, if any, are followed for the editing/maintenance of Wikipedia articles, over and beyond copyright/verification?
3) There are a number of items in the article with no verification, what is proposed to be done with these?
4) "more than thirty years in Dáil Eireann" in the first sentence is incorrect.

replies: text: Welcome, To answer your questions, 1) Yes anyone can edit Wikipedia. Registered editors have more permissions than anonymous editors, Administrators have more "powers" again. I am not an admin. 2) See Neutral point of view, Verifiability and No original research for Wikipedia's core content policies. See also Wikipedia:Notability (people). 3) It is proposed to get references for these items. 4) I have amended the first sentence to reflect the dates of his service. Now, a few questions for you, what, if any, is your connection to Godfrey Timmins or his family? In a recent edit, you said you were removing the material at the behest of the Timmins family? The material in that section seems standard enough and not controversial, also now its mostly referenced. Is there anything specifically that bothers you? and if so, why? I have removed the Bruton quote as it was a "oh, you're great, so you are" type of fluff. Also, since the subject is deceased over a decade, certain Wikipedia policies don't apply, namely WP:BLP.

Talk:Manuel Gomes da Costa

message: I think it is pretty obvious that Gomes da Costa's "incapability" for office was a pretext Carmona used to remove his fellow officer from the presidency. Carmona exerted a lot of effort to cement this idea of an incompetent Gomes, but he wanted to as this was an act of abject disloyalty towards a senior officer, and he needed to counter the idea of "regicide" from within the ranks. But while Gomes' actions were sometimes erratic, one needs to keep in mind that the situation was chaotic and Carmona's own decisions could also be contradictory. I've amended the text. --Ilja.nieuwland (talk) 10:22, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Gómez Pérez Dasmariñas

message: I'm a bit confused. The date of death cited is 10/25/1593, but in the third reference link, you provide a link to a very official looking letter, from an official Spanish Government Chronicler, with citations provided, which specifically states that the man was assassinated on 10/19/1593.  The reason this came up is that another wiki page, about the "1593 transported soldier legend" has yet a THIRD date for the assassination.

Talk:Bernardo Tanucci

message: The following message was added to the article text by User:Bitti Cattaneo Della Volta. I have copied it here where it can be discussed. 
NOTE: this image CANNOT be of Bernardo Tanucci, as he was never awarded the Order of the Golden Fleece (golden fleece near the right hand) and the Order of Malta (red band with white cross, near the left hand). It is a portrait of Domenico Cattaneo Della Volta (Naples, 1698 - Naples, 1782).

Talk:Bertrand Barère

message: Before my recent changes this article read like a combination of sources interwoven layer by layer, and ended up with several events described twice or out of order. I've sorted out the chronology and simplified the many references. Some problems remain: the time from 1795 to 1830 is unclear, the escapes from prison etc. Also some of the references to events of the Revolution seem mangled. Someone with better knowledge of those times will have to work on it. David Brooks (talk) 04:09, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article structure 

message: I've removed "His grandfather, Bertrand Barère, was a priest, doctor of theology, and vicar." which seems odd in Ancien regime France (and Huguenot ministers aren't "priests").  The French article says his grandfather, like his father, was a "procureur" (type of lawyer). Johnbod (talk) 10:40, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Grandfather 

message: After reviewing the article, I noticed that not much insight on the relations of Barère and other influential individuals is mentioned. Providing more information on the interactions with other individuals allows the reader to grasp a bigger picture. Also, under the section "With the Girondists and The Mountain," an unfinished quote is mentioned. The quote that reads “the tree of liberty grows only when watered by the blood of tyrants" is missing "and martyrs." By including these missing words, the reader will understand that Barere was a firm believer in the idea that, to gain freedom, one must not only bring down those who seek to establish pure control over others, but also be willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good. The full quote can be found in the work Imperial republics: revolution, war, and territorial expansion from the English Civil War to the French Revolution. Below is a list of sources where useful information can be gathered from to improve the article.

Talk:Goronwy Roberts, Baron Goronwy-Roberts

message: Goronwy-Roberts was a typical Labour apparatchik. The Labour machine in the safe Caernarfon constituency delivered him his seat in election after election. He was famous for his disinterest in constituency work and indeed in his lack of interest in Parliamentary activity. Indeed he never made his maiden speech despite spending 24 years in parliament. He undoubtedly did good work in committee but had he had more interest in local issues Plaid might not have been able to build a bridgehead in the constituency.
