Talk:John Frederick Parker

message: Does anyone know why there is a photo labeled "Officer John F. Parker" in the infobox when the article and its sources state that there are no known photos of Parker, even in his descendants' possession? The source of the photo is a random blogspot.com URL.

Talk:The Examiner (1808–1886)

message: With all due respect to the creator of this page, I believe there is a more common use of the word examiner than this newspaper. I think it would be worthwhile moving The Examiner to another page (maybe literally The Examiner) and then having this page cover the more likely expected content. Thank you :) Davidmwilliams 11:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's Wikipedia policy not to move anything until explicitly necessary.  However, for future reference, if this page should be moved, it should probably be renamed as Examiner (newspaper) and not The Examiner since there's already a different article with that name. DonQuixote 17:15, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree with Davidmwilliams, this page should be moved to make way for a disambiguation page.  There are multiple publications with 'Examiner' in the title.  --George100 (talk) 11:51, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Juanita Tate

message: Tate is routinely given credit for leading the charge in opposition to the LANCER project, but it appears this is not so:
"An obituary in Thursday's California section on South Los Angeles activist Juanita Tate incorrectly stated that she was a founder of Concerned Citizens of South-Central Los Angeles and had helped defeat the Lancer incineration project. Tate joined the group when it was formally incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1988, after the group's founders -- Robin Cannon, Charlotte Bullock, Gwendolyn Cannon, Sheila Cannon and Roberta Stephens -- led a successful drive against the incineration plant."

Talk:John Leckie (Australian politician)

message: Jack Leckie was a noted coach in the West Australian Football League after his playing career ended, a career that seemed to mirror that of the politician. Both started at Fitzroy and went on to play in the WA Goldfields before going to Perth. From reading this article, it seems that the politican's post football playing days were spent in Victoria while the 'other' guy had coaching stints in WA. Is it still possible they are the same person? Jevansen (talk) 00:12, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No. On close examination, the man listed here was playing for Fitzroy in 1895, while the man you mention was in "Coolgardie where, in 1895, he was heavily instrumental in getting organised football underway via the formation of the three team Yilgarn Football Association".

Talk:Edward Deering Mansfield

message: In 1845 Edward published a book, The Legal Rights, Liabilities and Duties of Women. The book has been republished (2005, 2006). But I do not suggest adding it to his list of published books in the article. It has information on the laws in general, and those affecting women, as of the time the book was written, describing different laws in different states, especially Ohio where he lived and worked. The book seems very dated in some ways, for example on p. 271, "the husband has and must have, as the head of the family, the right to constrain the liberty of his wife, so far as this is necessary to preserve the peace, unity and safety of the family". He advocates for full education for women (in the Dedication to his mother) but as of 1845, it seems that only the state of Michigan had universal free public education for both genders; private schools were free to admit boys only (or girls only). He notes on p. 128 that women cannot legally vote, but deflects that issue by pointing out that at the time, only about 40% of white men could vote (because of a restriction to property owners, I think, although I am not sure).

Talk:Edward Dodwell

message: The DNB indeed gives E. Dodwell's birth date as 1767 (but not 30 Nov. 1767, as shown in the box here). However, the Trinity College, Cambridge immatriculation record also cited here states: "Admitted Fell.-Com. (age 18) ... Apr. 11, 1795", which would yield a birth date of 1777. Perhaps the DNB had it wrong? Age 18 for immatriculation seems more normal than age 28 - as is implied here. Age at death in the box would also need to be corrected.

Talk:Kate Brown (plaintiff)

message: The text of Railroad Company v. Brown, the only source cited in the article, refers to her more than once as "Catharine Brown". Are there references that spell her name "Katherine" or, more to the point, refer to her as "Kate"? If so, they need to be cited. If not, this article needs to be moved.
Also, are there any references that verify she was a Virginian? She is categorized in :Category:People from Virginia, but that appears to be based on the fact that she bought a train ticket in Alexandria. There is no evidence in the article that she actually lived in Virginia. Rklear (talk) 01:49, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Kaiser Matanzima

message: The tone of this article is biased.  Not everyone supported separate development, obviously, but the territory was nonetheless legally independent. To refer to independence in quote marks is POV. To describe Transkei as a puppet state is also questionable.  The political automony of its rulers was fairly clear. The alliance with PAC interests, regular conflict with RSA policy, support of the majority of the US congress for recognizing Transkei independence, are all relevant here.203.184.41.226 (talk) 05:17, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Harold Browne

message: I have a copy of an act of consecration from 1864 which repeatedly refers to him as "The Right Reverend Father in God Edward Harold by Divine Permission Lord Bishop of Ely" and does not mention "Browne". So maybe this should be added to his styles and titles, or maybe should alter the preamble "Edward Harold Browne (usually called Harold Browne)".

The wiki page, following the Cambridge obituary, states that she worked at the Cambridge Language Research Unit from the late 50s, whereas the ODNB says she moved there in 1962, and was teaching prior to this.  I don't have any further evidence either way, so have left it as is.  Could the teaching she was doing prior to 1962 have included teaching at the CLRU as well as the school teaching, which would resolve this contradiction?

message: I'd like to include at least a part of Shapiro's poetry on this page. Is it okay if I include a stanza or two just as an example even if I do not have in-depth discussion of the specific poem it is from? Currently we only have critics's reviews and praise of his poetry and style, which I'm sure would be helpful if they were viewed alongside Shapiro's actual work instead of in place of it. Of course, I would quote a very small piece of his poetry, something equivalent to the "low-resolution" pictures I've seen on the pages for visual artists. (Perhaps I'll quote just the vowels to get a very low-resolution poem.) But, let me know if this seems okay. Ben (talk) 16:48, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

message: From an 1890 review in the Spectator of an account by his daughter Mrs Houstoun or Houston :
:Mr. Jesse held the office of Deputy-Surveyor of Royal Palaces. Here he was un- fortunate enough to incur the Royal displeasure. Some alterations had been ordered at Windsor Castle by Prince Albert. Mr. Jesse thought that they endangered the safety of the Castle, and made a report accordingly to the Board of Woods and Forests, who had given orders that nothing should be done except with his (Mr. Jesse's) authorisation. The report was most indiscreetly shown by the First Commissioner to the Queen, and the result was that Mr. Jesse was forbidden to enter the Palace again.

Of course, for bios of people that lived in the 1800s, sources can be hard to find, but of what I could find, this appears most thorough and it states Cooley was nothing more than a stage coach driver and "Wells-Fargo operative" who provided the Earps with cash.
