Talk:Rose McClendon

message: In this series of edits, you added information that McClendon's "Negro People's Theater" became the Rose McClendon Theater, and that 
: In 1946, Carl Van Vechten established the Rose McClendon memorial collection in Howard university, this was a collection of 100 photographs of prominent African-American artists and writers.
You attributed both of these facts to 
: Haz, Nicholas. "Rose McClendon." Broadway Photographs. University of Chicago Press, 2013. Web. 20 Apr. 2015.
Presumably, you meant this page but if not, please provide the URL for the source you used.
Unfortunately, Haz seems to be the only author who states that the Negro People's Theater became the Rose McClendon Theater. Other sources, including The Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance,
 Regina Anderson Andrews, Harlem Renaissance Librarian,
 and The New York Public Library Archives
 (the citation you replaced with your own) mention both the Negro People's Theater and the Rose McClendon Theater, but make no mention of the latter being a renaming of the former, but rather that, upon McClendon's death, Dick Campbell founded a new organization to honor her memory. And, while there is verifiably a Rose McClendon Collection at Howard University, there doesn't seem to be a source available to verify its establishment by any given person or at any given date.

replies: text: I added a source for Van Vechten establishing the Rose McClendon Collection at Howard University in 1946, but there is no summary of its contents in the finding aid. — WFinch (talk) 14:18, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Investigating further, the name Nicholas Taz is a photo credit below a photograph of Rose McClendon, on a web page presenting a biographical statement about her. Nicholas Taz is not the author of the page, or the site, or the book Broadway Photographs. The author is Dr. David S. Shields, University of South Carolina. The site is described as a work in progress. — WFinch (talk) 14:32, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:   Yes, you found the same link I did above (listed as "presumably this page"). But because there is a reference to the University of Chicago Press, I presumed there might be a book associated with the Broadway Photographs website (or just coincidentally named). But I have been unable to find such a book at Google Books. Attempts to engage the involved editor () have proven fruitless. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:44, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm very glad you questioned the information. The fact that Nicholas Taz is credited as the author confirms that web page as the source. The other sources you cite above are more reliable. I think the edits regarding the Negro People's Theatre becoming the Rose McClendon Players can and should be reverted. — WFinch (talk) 15:22, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

text: P.S. — I, too, had thought there was a book but I was confused; there's only the website, Broadway Photographs. — WFinch (talk) 15:46, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Rose Quong

message: The NLA record for Quong's translation of selected stories from Strange Tales lists her name as Guang Rosi and Rose Quong. This seems very plausibly her Chinese (Cantonese) name given Quong is a common Australian transliteration of Kuang (surname) and the sound translation between Rose and Rosi. A quick google doesn't turn up anything else though, nor do I know offline sources that would confirm it. So I am leaving it here on the talk page instead of venturing into original research, for some future citation or better scholar to fix it.

Talk:Rosina Ferrara

message: While looking for sources for the article, I could not find a reliable source for:
* Ferrara was first discovered by French artist Edward Vaux, and became his model.
* She became a mistress to the Belgian artist Alfred Stevens sometime in the mid-1880s,
* and was a friend to American expatriate artist Charles C. Coleman, who specialized in painting Mediterranean landscapes similar to those painted by Sargent and other American, British, and French painters.
* Her niece, Maria Primavera was adopted by Ferrara and George Randolph Barse shortly after her sister's death. Maria married Pompeius Michael Bernardo.
* Ferrara gave birth to Maria Carlotta in 1883.  The father of her child is not known, but some say that she was a daughter of a male member of a royal family. It is unclear which member of the royal houses of Europe visited Capri during that time period. It could have been one of the members of the House of Bourbon, which ruled Naples during most of the 18th century.
*Capri Girl by Jean Benner (1880s) - of Rosina Ferrara
* Works of Rosina included in Sargent and Italy and Great Expectations exhibitions

Talk:Corinthian F.C.

message: The article says that Spiksley played one game for Corinthian F.C. against Tottenham Hotspur in 1907. 
I am rather dubious about this reference. Cavallini's "History of the Corinthian Football Club"  lists every Corinthian match and player and there is no mention of Spiksley; nor did Corinthian play Tottenham in 1907, although they played them twice in 1906, winning 6-1 in October and losing 5-0 in December. As a result of the dispute with the FA, Corinthian could not play against any professional clubs from the summer of 1907 until after World War One  --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 11:57, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Useful piece in the Herald 

message: Ronnie Brown's predecessor is given two different names here.

Does anyone have a definitive solution to the discrepancy? Koro Neil (talk) 03:01, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The Corries official website says "Ron Cockburn" was the original member of the Corries who developed Glandular Fever; with no mention of anyone named Cruikshank. The site is administrated by Gavin Browne, who is the son of Ronnie Browne; with direct input coming from Ronnie Browne himself.

Hi,
The article on corries.com was written many years ago in a programme sold at Corries concerts. I lifted the information from it and put it on the website.
I have just checked with my dad and he confirms it was Ron Cruikshank and I have just changed the information on corries.com to reflect this.
Thank you for bringing it to my attention.  Hopefully you will not have any further trouble setting wikipedia right.

*There is nothing bizarre, nor macabre about Have Gun Will Travel, nor is the NBC legal drama Justice a role.  You need to rework this concept (and sentence) into something more sensible.  For example, "...Royal Dano appeared in the villianous role of Praylie (Gunsmoke episode: "Crooked Mile" [season 10 episode 2])..." and so on and so forth.

Talk:Ruaraidh Erskine

message: Whatever this man may have been, he was certainly never an Earl of Mar (either of them, as two can hold the post at the same time). Going by his surname, he may have been related to the family. The only reference I can find to him anywhere remotely reliable is here, where he is referred to as 'of Marr' rather than 'Mar'. 
Due to usage, I'd be surprised if this was anything more than a territorial designation (see second-last paragraph) which can be adopted by any landowner or derived from association. In this case, it would be simply part of his name, and to suggest he was 'known' as it in addition to another name would be false. --Breadandcheese (talk) 12:00, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
