Talk:Mary Katharine Goddard

message: An earlier editor posted the following unreferenced information as a reference, which didn't make sense:
:Mary Katherine Goddard was 24 years old in 1762 when she took an interest in her brother William's business, the Providence Gazette and Country Journal. She next partnered with her mother to start a business they named the Gazette. The Gazette printed almanacs, pamphlets, and books.

Talk:Mary Russell Mitford

message: I changed the first sentence which referred to Mitford as a novelist since the only thing that she wrote that could be considered close to a novel is Atherton which is more of a novella. Someone had also mistakenly referred to her book Belford Regis as a novel which it was not, so I corrected that also. Mary Mitford is really closer to an Essayist than a novelist, though her sketches are not exactly essays either.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kirbycairo (talk • contribs) 23:07, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

message: There are two reasons for questioning the location for this site;
1. Topographical clues within the narrative state that it is located east of Jericho, which means that it can be placed anywhere between the Jordan and anywhere uphill fron the river plain.s
2. Tactical considerations preclude the suicidal use of an unprotected plain.

Talk:Master Betty

message: Regarding reception of his comeback to theatre as an adult, this article states:
The critics derided his performance, talking more about his fifteen minutes of fame than his performance at the age of twenty-one. 
The expression is an anachronism, not being invented until the 20th century (by Andy Warhol) and may mislead non-English-speaking readers as being a literal representation of the time spent on the stage as a child.  I would contend that at 21 the years he spent as a child actor (five to six years in all) would have been a higher proportion of his lifetime than 15 minutes in an hour.Cloptonson (talk) 18:38, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Ham, London

message: The 2007 Surrey Domesday Book reference supporting the claim that Ham is mentioned in the Domesday book is now dead. Both PASE and Open Domesday assert that Estreham relates to modern day Streatham, not Ham. 
The cited Domesday entry; (Philmore reference 8,15) relating to Haimo's holdings (See PASE results for Streatham and Open Domesday (4th entry)) comes immediately after the entry for 'Patricesham' (Petersham) (See Surrey Page 6) so I too would have assumed that this relates to Ham. However, if I understand the Domesday Book article correctly (probably not!), the entries are not necessarily arranged geographically but by who held them. 
None of the printed references I have to hand claim that Ham is mentioned in Domesday, but they all refer to the Petersham entry. I have therefore removed the claim that Ham was mentioned in Domesday until there is another reference out there to support it.  --KenBailey (talk) 21:39, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Mato Vodopić

message: He partly lived under French occupation (1816-1868) and afterwads Austro-Hungarian. 
Why is one more relevant than the other in this case? 
As in case of Šantić, you can not just choose to your liking, as you would on a buffet and stop any further dicussion with threats of edit war, while deleting other editor's links and giving pseudo answers, that is politically correct sentences which do not touch any real questions. 
I think that it would also be accceptable to call him Ragusian, which is the case with many other articles on people from Dubrovnik.
Per WP:ETHNICITY - Ethnicity, religion, or sexuality should generally not be in the lead unless it is relevant to the subject's notability.
In the case of Vodopić - it is relevant, as it is to all the member of Serb-Catholic movenment.

thread_title:  Class Reassessment, November 18th 2008 

message: User:RJHall posted the following at WT:D&D. I'm copying it here for ease of reference.
Perhaps I might provide some (hopefully) useful feedback?
* The lead might be on the short side at a single paragraph. Usually I expect to see a paragraph per major section, although two would probably suffice here.
* There seems to be too many short paragraphs, too many short sections, and too much unnecessary bold-facing of the text. Italics should serve in most cases.
* In the Synopsis section, please explain Solace without the reader having to drill down. Also, what does the second sentence have to do with the party? Please relate the geographic location of Solace to the ruined city of Xak Tsaroth.
* If somebody (that has never played D&D before) started reading "first level of a more traditional style dungeon" or "time based and zone location wilderness encounters", what would they make of it?
* Several of the references are not used for inline citations. Can these either be used to reference text, or be moved to a further reading section?
* Some of the text needs a copy edit.

message: Currently the article's named Matthew Lewis (writer), but the author is rarely called "Matthew Lewis" in secondary sources. Following Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people) (especially WP:MIDDLENAME), it would be better to move the article to Matthew Gregory Lewis (or M. G. Lewis, though this doesn't have as many hits on Google, so less likely to be the most commonly used name).

thread_title:  Move to [[Matthew Gregory Lewis]] 

message: Tales of Terror is an affectionate parody of Lewis. It's a bit of a bibliographic minefield, but that he wasn't the author has been known for a century of so.  I mean, parts of the book are dedicated to him (Grim, King of Ghosts, for example). The idea that he published it anonymously, dedicated it to himself and then later deliberately didn't claim it seems...far fetched?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.116.203.21 (talk) 23:48, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Maurice Laframboise

message: How to cite sources, the "style guideline" on this topic, says:
:Articles can be supported with references in two ways: the provision of general references – books or other sources that support a significant amount of the material in the article – and inline citations, that is, references within the text, which provide source information for specific statements. Inline citations are needed for statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged .... 
I would contend that the page cited from the Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online supports the material in the article. I would also contend that this publication is "regarded as trustworthy or authoritative in relation to the subject at hand". --Big_iron 21:34, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Mercator Cooper

message: I find this highly dubious. The emperor (tennō or mikado in Japanese) was in Kyoto, and was usually not connected with affairs concerning foreigners. I believe that "emperor" refers in this case to the shogun, whose capital, Edo (now Tokyo) was very close to where Cooper arrived. Indeed, early western sources to refer to the shogun as the "emperor"--e.g., Samuel Wells Williams' The Chinese Repository speaking of the Prince of Mito, brother of the Emperor-- the "Prince of Mito" refers to the Tokugawa family of the Mito Domain-- a branch family of the shogun. If there are no objections, I'm going to go ahead and change the wording to this effect. -Tadakuni (talk) 00:29, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Best New Zealand Poems

message: This article is basically a summary of another website, and has only ever had input from one user. In addition, all references are sourced from teh website itself.
A cursory look reveals that it repeatedly lists many of the same people (not all of whom have been given their own pages yet) and, in 2006 at least, they were drawn from only a handful of sources.
Is this incestuousness something to do with New Zealand in general, or are we looking at a small partisan website here, in which case we need better NPOV?
I think we need to explain why the website is notable. Does it put out a print publication?

message: The new source added for Hahn being Jewish specifically states the list (4.3) is based on books by Fuchs and Learsi, and  "from other sources" which are not named.  I doubt this meets the requirements of WP:RS at all as a result (using unknown sources != great value to readers).  Fuchs makes en passant comments about Hahn, but is a weak source for asserting Hahn was specifically Jewish. Learsi makes no mention of Hahn at all AFAICT.
