message: * It says she was pregnant in November 1816 at the Battle of La Laguna with her husband, but her husband died on September 14 of that year.
* Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History indicates she was pregnant in 1814, not 1816.
* According to Javier F. Marion's thesis "Inkarra Myths and Class Conflict: An Interpretive Study of Juana Azurduy de Padilla's Life as Seen Through Late Colonial Currents," she gave birth to her final child, Lucia, on Sept 5, 1814.
I can't read Spanish fluently, so I can't check with the most recent scholarship on this, but just these few sources indicate there's some inaccuracies with this entry.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasonporath (talk • contribs) 02:51, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Justin Rowlatt

message: It is not appropriate to create an entire controversy section in a BLP based on a single opinion piece in a local paper. Besides being an example of WP:RECENTISM, it seems to be very much WP:UNDUE, given that from what I can tell, basically no one else has picked up this story other than the Daily Mail and this single piece in this local paper. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives.

Talk:HMS Vernon (shore establishment)

message: This is quite good but can it be cited? It reads a little like a personal memoir. Warlow makes no mention of Ramillies and Malaya as being commissioned as Vernon II. Mason does say Malaya was, but only says of Ramillies that she was used for accommodation and training, but doesn't state where.

Labzq3 (talk) 21:56, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Bayer had been working in Saint Petersburg at the Tentelev chemical plant to develop a method to provide alumina to the textile industry that used it as a fixing agent in the dyeing of cotton. In 1887, he discovered that alumina found in bauxite ore can be selectively dissolved when reacted in an autoclave with sodium hydroxide. The formed aluminium hydroxide can be precipitated from the alkaline solution when enoculated with alumina hydrate. This can be filtered and washed more easily to produce crystalline alumina than that precipitated from an acid medium by neutralization.

Talk:Katherine Mary Flannigan

message: I don't believe that this article should be classified as being an orphan article, with no or few linked articles. As of January 21, 2012 there are 8 links, which seems a good amount for a fairly short article. Karenthewriter (talk) 18:26, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphan Article 

message: I have been doing a bit of research about this woman, and I have to say I think it is going to be quite the challenge to disentangle the fact from the fiction of the Mrs. Mike book.  One example, multiple obituaries and her grave records say that she was 54 when she died, and that she was born in 1899.  This would mean that she was 8 years old in 1907 when the "Mrs. Mike" character is 16.  There are other problems which make me suspect that the Mrs. Mike version of her life was mostly fictionalized.  For example:
:*no reference to a Mike Flannigan in these NWMP archives from the period when he was supposedly in the force 
:*no reference to any Flannigan, Katherine Marys or individuals of the right age, occupation etc in the Canadian census records for Grouard in 1911 and 1916.
:*The description of Grouard in 1913 as "a bustling prairie metropolis of over one thousand residents. It boasted two schools, a dentist, four doctors, two lawyers, one eye specialist, two druggists and a veterinary surgeon.." around the time when in the book there is no doctor or drugs anywhere near to save the townspeople from diphtheria. 
These points from the census and other data are obvious original research which I have no intention of adding to the article, but they are, I think, useful for the talkpage to establish that we cannot and should not use the novel for any biographical information about the woman herself. There is actually very little biographical information out there.  I have found some microfiched obits in Canadian newspapers around the time of her death, but unfortunately there is a fair bit that is contradictory (including where she was born).  I'll do my best in the next little while to sift through what there is. Any comments about this welcome!!! --Slp1 (talk) 22:42, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been doing more work on this, and have come to the conclusion that it likely would be best if the article was merged to Mrs. Mike. I have found a fair amount of (reliable) sources that confirm that put in doubt a lot of the details of the novel. Katherine Mary Flannigan (if this was ever her legal name) is not notable outside the novel, so it is best to put the novel front and centre. Unless there are any objections, I will probably do this shortly. --Slp1 (talk) 02:27, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Kenneth Washington

message: The person in the movie was a famous Black athlete born in Pasadena in the 20's or 30's  known as "Kenny Washington.  He was a slave on the Harrow Plantation and my cousin, the  beautiful actress Suzette Harbin, played opposite him as his captured love interest.  She played an  African Princess that had been captured and bought by  Rex Harrison, the owner of the Harrow Plantation.  She threw herself and attempted to take her infant son with her off a cliff rather than to have him live as a slave   when he was born to be a Prince.  She nor Kenny Washington  received ANY credit as cast members in your list of the movie's cast.   Unless you were a famous Black actor that was used in ALL the movies playing maids or ridiculous buffoons, your name was not listed in the cast credit list. 2603:8000:7F00:C089:151D:AA32:ADED:656F (talk) 03:50, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Disappearance of Kristen Modafferi

message: This anonymous edit on Dec 5 2020:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Disappearance_of_Kristen_Modafferi&type=revision&diff=992445645&oldid=990873953
"Another theory is she casually met another student photographer and went to her house in Oakland to talk about photography. At that point, the photo session didn't go as planned and something happened leading to her untimely death and the other photographer may still have details about the occurrence but knows what happened was more of a self-defense situation. However, that's mere speculation."
This is a strange thing to add. Whose theory is this? Seems like the invention of the anonymous wikipedia editor who added it, but the wording implies that it is a theory with some established traction in actual discourse. If it does have traction then the passage should acknowledge who is discussing this theory, preferably with citations.
Tone is also a little unprofessional.

Talk:Leo Rafael Reif

message: Regarding the reference to Aaron Swartz:
I deleted a reference to Aaron Swartz in the intro. As mentioned in the edit summary, it was in the introduction, even though there was no content on it in the actual article. If you feel it is important, then it would make sense to first have a section on it, or a mention of it in another section. Only then, after that, if it is deemed extremely important, would it also deserve an additional mention in the intro. With that said, I do not think you will convince many objective people that it is worthy of any mention in this article, let alone in the intro. Of course, this is coming from an MIT IP address (I am a grad student), so please, others, weigh in. I would first raise the argument that Rafael Reif was not president when this happened. Susan Hockfield was. There is no mention of this in her article. Reif has much less relevance to this than Hockfield did, so it stands to reason that Hockfield's article content sets a precedent for this. This also appears nowhere in the main MIT article, which also has a greater connection to the Aaron Swartz situation than Reif did.  I know a lot of people are upset about MIT's actions involving Aaron Swartz, but I think it would require a great deal of explanation and agreement to argue that it is worthy of mention in Reif's biography.  Should we mention all the MIT student suicides that occurred at MIT during the presidency for each MIT president? Some of them received considerable press.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.111.13.158 (talk) 20:45, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
