Talk:John Redwood

message: I wanted to include a link to a Youtube clip of John Redwood miming the National Anthem.  The link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIwBvjoLyZc I think it is valide to add this link because it is (1)accessible to the reader (b) it is relevant to the content of the article (useful, helpful, informative, factual, etc.) and(c) it is a functional link, and likely to continue being a functional link.  However when I added the link it automatically got reverted.128.122.242.66 (talk) 19:52, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Youtube clip of John Redwood miming the national anthem 

message: Most of the articel assumes a generally over-wishipping tone, describing events in such a manner that implies he was right in everything he does, kinda subtle but still fairly clear-cut. I haven't really got time to correct it, but I'd encourage others to do so.Nwe (talk) 15:56, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't see anything immediately wrong with the article and seeing no examples or disputes, have removed the banner. Juggertrout (talk) 23:33, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Caligula / appointment / horse gag - isn't this quip a bit weary? God knows who first used it, and of whom. And it was a consul, anyway.
Shall we put this portly, tedious old clubmanism out of its misery and delete it?

thread_title:  Caligula 

message: This section used to read as follows: 
"Redwood's appearance has led to some commentators, originally former Conservative MP turned political sketch-writer, Matthew Parris, noting similarities between him and Star Trek's Spock and so Redwood is often called a Vulcan. The name stuck, and in line with this, political cartoonists often draw him with pointed ears. It is a comparison which Redwood has not taken in good humour."
I've removed the final part, since it is uncited. It is also worth noting that it used to make the opposite statement. This can be seen looking back at this edit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Redwood&oldid=442080519
I didn't go back and see when the change was made, but someone else might want to do that.
Perhaps some citation can be found for the inference one way or the other.  Theadder (talk) 07:06, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Satirised 

message: The first sentence reads "John Redwood was born in Dover" and then the second sentence begins "The second child of" but if you read these two sentences in conjunction, it would make more sense to have a comma after Dover than a full stop. Vorbee (talk) 17:36, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Was born in Dover

message: It was mentioned on The Media Show on December 27 2017 that John Redwood is a talented amatuer cricketer. This could go in the article, possibly in the section on Redwood's personal life. Vorbee (talk) 17:39, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Amatuer cricketer

message: The article has been edited to refer to him as Sir John Redwood to reflect his inclusion in the 2019 New Year Honours list. But does this make someone immediately a knight, or does it require the accolade ceremony in the presence of the Queen? —BillC talk 20:44, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Knighthood 

message: He has now been officially knighted, can we please change the name to add the title "Sir"? Or at least a redirect? ViscountVismut (talk) 20:15, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
