Talk:William Kitchiner

message: Inventor of telescopes?
What does this mean? In the history of telescopes article he isn't mentioned once. Needs to be sourced or made clear exactly what is meant because clearly he didn't invent the telescope which was around centuries before he was born.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 51.9.133.172 (talk) 13:29, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Correct, he did not invent the telescope but did tinker with and invent his own telescopes. Thus, the sentence is correct as he was an "inventor of telescopes"; if he had been the first creator of a telescope, he would be the "inventor of the telescope". I have added cited an article by the College of Optometrists to clarify.--SamHolt6 (talk) 17:02, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

message: Not sure why I have become sucked into an edit war, but am posting here to attempt to diffuse it. AM keen to add biographical details as there are none which is a huge omission. Those I've added have been repeatedly reverted - source ref is the ODNB which is about as reliable as it gets (but not always on public access depending on location, so imho important to get basic details onto this more accessible platform). Smaller errors have crept back in too - Cabinet of taste is called magazine of taste in the original text so no idea why that is being reverted. Etc etc. Might I suggest reversion of latest changes, and then revision of any aspects which seem to be opinion and are not backed by citations, as per Wiki guidelines. Reverters issue seems to be around the crisp - could they perhaps not just concentrate on that and not vandalise the whole page? Current article claims WK invented the potato crisp but cites no evidence (primary sources - not usually liked on wiki - quite clear this is erroneous, despite several tabloid articles which are really not reliable sources). See https://lemelson.mit.edu/resources/george-crum. Can we not agree that his was AN early reference to something not very like the modern potato crisp/chip and remain civil please?

Talk:William Lambton

message: There is some confusion over the correct death date for William Lambton:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lambton
(Lieutenant-Colonel William Lambton, FRS)
Rather sad, considering the last part of his life was spent surveying India with painstaking accuracy. 
Even more sad that tomb lies crumbling and unmaintained tomb in a Moslem graveyard in Hinganghat, India - as testified by John Keay in his wonderful book "The Great Trigonometrical Survey of India".
In short his death date is likely to be the 19th, 26th or 30th January 1823 :
EITHER "19 January 1823"  (at head of existing wiki page)
OR "He died at Hinganghat, on 26 January 1823" (in text at base of existing Wiki page)
OR (my suggestion) "30 January 1823" (see photo of memorial at url:http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/03/ab/78/e7/st-thomas-mount-national.jpg and at url:http://chennaitourist.blogspot.fr/2009/08/st-thomas-mount.html

Talk:William L. Brent

message: I came across this article (and others today) while trying to write an article about a Virginia politician of a somewhat similar era, George W. Brent. Unfortunately, little has been written about the Brent family (the only overtly Catholic family in Virginia for over a century), and especially their relationship with slavery. I've cited a typescript (mostly about the Maryland Brents) which might only be available in northern Virginia archives (including Fairfax, where I've spent too much time today), and it doesn't really discuss the Virginia Brents in the mid-1800s.
FYI, the prior relationship between this Maryland-born Brent and the former Virginia U.S. Senator (in the pre-existing wikilink)is much more distant than nephew and uncle, which is why I used "cousin".
FYI2, after the American Revolution, several Brents wanted to free slaves, but such was illegal in Virginia, so some moved to the newly formed national capital (Washington, D.C.). However, by the American Civil War, the Virginia Brents were decidedly pro-slavery (especially George W. Brent, though I may need to drive to Manassas for further research). In any event, don't have time to drive to Richmond or Baltimore to figure out this Maryland and Louisiana Brent's role in the slave trade between southern Maryland and Louisiana, although about a year ago I attended a presentation at the Library of Virginia which has partnered with a New Orleans archive to research these issues.

message: To be complete and cover the range of what York does I note that the article, citations & applicable wiki articles for definitions support: (1) "pundit" - see, wiki article- NO article for "commentator" as such - best practice is to USE THE WIKI ARTICLE - "person who offers to mass media their opinion or commentary on a particular subject area (most typically political analysis)" - he offers commentary on TV & through blogs, so need to add (2) "columnist" as "a person who WRITES for publication in a series, creating an article that usually offers commentary and opinions", and (3) "correspondent" is in addition because she or he is a "reporter (read his articles, he often just REPORTS W/O COMMENTARY) usually a journalist or commentator from a REMOTE, often distant, location."

"Kate Webster, an Irish servant girl who murdered her mistress with an axe; hanged at Wandsworth Prison, London, on 29 July 1879."
There is no mention of an axe being used in the Murder of Julia Martha Thomas. In fact, both Kate Webster's testimony and the official cause of death indicated death as a result of skull fractures and asphyxiation. Under the assumption that the purpose of this section is to highlight the notoriety of the criminals hanged by Mr. Marwood, I propose this entry be re-written to reflect the known facts of the case, as follows:
