Talk:Karl Mildenberger

message: It depends what you mean. Having just watched the fight, it's clear that Ali was often frustrated and surprised. Mildenberger fought excellently. But Ali won most of the rounds up the 12th, knocking down Mildenberg three times before the 12th and very nearly putting him away in the 8th. Mildenberger clearly was saved by the count/bell in the 9th, as well.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.34.206.213 (talk) 17:40, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Aristeidis Stergiadis

message: The article says "and was transported in Britain. Later the same year he moved to Nice, where he lived until the end of his life". I guess "was transported in Britain" means "was taken to Britain". The sentence conflicts with the short biography here, which claims that he went to Constantinople, thence to Romania, and finally settled in Cannes (not Nice). Does anyone know which is correct?

Talk:Francis Noel-Baker

message: Usually I find articles such as these somewhat grey and dusty - which is natural, since they are to be kept to a standard of measured expressions and reserved enthusiasm. And then I started reading this article, and I found, among other examples, a gem like the following quote: he managed – for a time at least – to reconcile socialism in Britain with feudalism, albeit enlightened and benign, in Greece.
That's a remarkable phrase from an article that, though thoroughly enjoyable, is so far out of my usual experience that I find myself forced to ask the regulars around here whether this article is beyond the limits of what the trusty old Wikipedia is supposed to be... So, reading the article, what say ye ?

text: I agree that consistency is necessary here. Many of our sources are Latin and we cannot have a mixture: and no-one is arguing for "Konstantinopolis" or "Karthagon" or "Sikileia".  The convention in historical writing in English is pretty clear: look at Gibbon, Bury, Hussey and (I haven't got a copy but I recall) Rostovtseff (Finlay does take the other line, but always looks strange and a bit pretentious).  I would rather go to the trouble of changing them back.  Can you point me in the direction of the discussion you refer to, which I haven't seen?  Deipnosophista (talk) 07:04, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Category talk:National symbols of the United Kingdom

message: How are these chosen as symbols? Or, symbols to readers of which newspaper? (The symbols of England as so categorized now look to me rather like the symbols as they might have been chosen by the editorial staff of the Daily Express forty years ago.) I'd have guessed that the Notting Hill Carnival and "chicken tikka masala" were more symbolic, but as I haven't a clue of how to measure symbolism I'm not going to add them. -- Hoary 00:12, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, this category looks grossly over-populated to me. National symbols are things like flags, national anthems, national flowers (thistles/leeks/daffodils etc) and the like. If Frogmore, Manchester, George VI, Thomas Hardy or strawberries are admitted (or indeed Ben Nevis, which was recently added before being swiftly removed by me), the category is going to be hopelessly POV. The sub-categories for England, Scotland, Wales and NI have got it about right - let's pare this parent category down to the minimum. --Blisco 11:54, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: P.S. I see that an anon with some kind of agenda has added most of the entries here. Under what criteria George VI and the Queen Mother could be considered the "father and mother of the nation" I don't know, but I shall revert all these additions. --Blisco 12:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

text: The solution is to restrict the category only to flags, national anthems, and items that have a long documented history of being a national symbol (e.g. John Bull - or does he just represent England?). That way there is at least a chance of keeping the category neutral and verifiable. Trouble is, the UK as a whole doesn't have very many of these. --Blisco 14:21, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I looked in the England category too. To me, these aren't national symbols, they're nationalist totems. The kind of jingoistic kitsch that's celebrated in the last night of the proms by those who go in for that sort of thing. How about chicken tikka masala or fish and chips? To me, those are symbols of Britain, not  symbols of British alcohol-fueled jingoism. -- Hoary 15:57, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
