Talk:Stanley Johnson (writer)

message: Surely cannot be true. Since when was Johnson a Turkish name?
I'm deleting it anyway.
Nothing in his bio about it anyway.

replies: text: But is, it's been mentioned in some of the Johnson television programmes and in this review of Boris' Biography  and in a column that covered Stanley's election bid  neither of which whilst not being the best places to cite show it's verifiable. edit: And was actually mentioned by Stanley himself which I didn't spot initially --Sully 00:43, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

message: This was taken directly from the re-write of his biography I did from a European Commission website, as well as the cite see also the titles of some of his books under Works, unfortunately I don't have a copy of the works themselves, but it wasn't added as a joke by any means.--Sully (talk) 17:57, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: "Stanley said his son Boris Johnson's burka comments did not go far enough.^13" should, in context of the reference given, be changed to "Stanley said he wished Boris had been more hardline, in reference to his burka comments.^13". Quote given is incorrectly attributed to Stanley when it is reported as being said by Boris's sister; Rachel Johnson. Citation 13 tenuous due to lack of direct quote, https://news.sky.com/story/stanley-johnson-voters-should-be-grateful-for-boriss-burka-comments-11471036 ,this link has more precise citations.

replies: text: The source you provide directly quotes Stanley Johnson as saying the comments "didn't go far enough". It makes more sense to simply add the Sky News source. Alduin2000 (talk) 02:41, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

message: The article title says he is an authoer but we don't have references to cite this. We will need to change the article name if we can't source this, and it doesn't looke easy. Claiming he wrote a book won't do as we don't have a secondary source for that either, just the ISBN number. ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 17:18, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

text: Um, why is the article not "Stanley Johnson (author)" or even, guided by the infobox, "Stanley Johnson (politician)"? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:03, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

message: Category to be added:  :Category:British people of Circassian descent (Johnson's great-grandmother was a Circassian beauty in the Imperial Harem, as has been widely documented). 94.252.97.107 (talk) 17:52, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The article already has :Category:English people of Circassian descent, except that one is not supported by anything in the article and so should be removed. Do have any of these "widely documented" sources? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:56, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
