Talk:Bill Boaks

message: I think the lowest vote recorded in a British election was zero, for the Temperence candidate in Ripon, North Yorkshire. Unfortunately I can't find any records to back this up but it was a popular part of local history when I lived there.
:This was before universal franchise and refers to F.R. Lees, "Temperance Chartist" in an 1860 byelection. Lees did have supporters but they were under the impression that he had withdrawn and the election was unopposed. There are numerous examples of candidates getting tiny numbers of vote pre-1885 but that was in the days when voting was in public and so candidates often withdrew after only a few voters had the oppportunity to vote because it was clear they would not win. Also, some returning officers insisted on formally opening the poll even when candidates had withdrawn, then closing it after a few votes had been cast. Boaks' achievement represents the equal lowest total of any active candidate who actually wanted to win. Dbiv 13:08, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: This article has some fundamental problems.  Having read it, I only barely understand who Bill Boaks (many sources seem to list him as Boakes) is.  
For example, he apparently has an infamous armoured tricycle, but the article only mentions it once.
The first thing we learn about his road safety campaign is that he wasn't for the banning of all motor vehicles.
I'd do some cleanup, but I have no sources and can't seem to find any that are this detailed.

replies: text: As a political campaigner in the 70s, I remember Boaks well.  He was an archetypal English eccentric, held in great affection - even by people who didn't vote for him. This article is accurate as far as I can recall.  I remember a reading a profile/potted biography of him in a national newspaper, possibly The Observer. I imagine a number of newspapers will have material about him in their archives. Sasha (talk) 14:06, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Napoleon (Animal Farm)

message: Wouldn't it be better to have the Animal_Farm characters on its own page instead of having a unique page for each of them? I think that would make it easier to read and prevent stubs, if e.g. Napoleon_(Animal_Farm) was redirected to

thread_title:  [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Assessment#Class_parameter|Biography assessment rating]] comment 

message: Here's what Wikipedia:Manual of Style has to say:
:Titles
:Titles such as president, king, or emperor start with a capital letter when used as a title (followed by a name): "President Nixon", not "president Nixon". When used generically, they should be in lower case: "De Gaulle was the French president." The correct formal name of an office is treated as a proper noun. Hence: "Hirohito was Emperor of Japan". Similarly "Louis XVI was the French king" but "Louis XVI was King of France", King of France being a title in that context. (Reference: Chicago Manual of Style 14th ed., par. 7.16; The Guardian Manual of Style (http://www.guardian.co.uk/styleguide/page/0,5817,184841,00.html), "Titles" keyword.) Exceptions may apply for specific offices. 
:In the case of "prime minister", either both words begin with a capital letter or neither, except, obviously, when it starts a sentence. Again, when being used generically, no capital letter is used: "There are many prime ministers around the world." When reference is made to a specific office, upper case is generally used: "The British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, said today..." (However to complicate matters, some style manuals, while saying "The British Prime Minister", recommend "British prime minister". A good rule of thumb is whether a definite article (the) or an indefinite article (a) is used. If the is used, use "Prime Minister". If a is used, go with "prime minister".)

Talk:You'll Never Walk Alone

message: @Spiderfreezone, I am politely requesting that you familiarize yourself with our guideline regarding significant opinions and WP:FRINGE claims. A reliable source alone is not always enough for a statement to be notable by Wikipedia standards. That is because some claims and contrary opinions are not accepted by mainstream sources. You are giving significant weight to an unsubstantiated statement by Jane Hardwick who asserts that as a teenager she performed You'll Never Walk Alone at an unspecified game following the Munich air disaster and "soon the whole ground was singing it", bringing people to tears. There are serious problems with this report. Firstly, Hardwick is the only person making this assertion - no independent person has ever stepped forward supporting her anecdotal account and there is not a scrap of documentary evidence it ever happened (eg. newspaper reports, match day magazine notes). On the contrary, authors such as Jim White have investigated similar claims that YNWA was performed at Old Trafford following the Munich air crash yet discovered zero evidence to support them. Secondly, Hardwick herself has since cast doubt on the reliability of the Manchester Evening News article, leading Graham Phythian to report that her printed remarks were exaggerated. Most crucially of all, the overwhelming vast majority of reliable sources pay no heed to Jane Hardwick and contemporary historians tracing the history of this song pay even less attention to her. So I must insist in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines that you produce a considerable number of references, including specialist sources, that afford significant weight to Hardwick's uncorroborated account.  — Niche-gamer 19:46, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Please note that the 35th Battalion, Virginia Cavalry of Grumble Jones' brigade was indeed present at Gettysburg, attached temporarily to Jubal Early's division. They had joined the division at Greencastle, PA during the march northward, and served as scouts and a cavalry screen during Early's expedition to the Susquehanna River. During Gettysburg, they operated on the flanks, as well as occasional forays on the battlefield proper. They were present on the Day 1 field. See Frank Myers' classic book, The Comanches, for details.

message: The picture of retinol is wrong.  It has 19 carbons instead of 20.  It is missing "C15".  As drawn, it is an enol form of aldehyde.  There should be one more carbon (the C15 carbon) between the 13,14 double bond and the "OH".
The picture of isotretinoin needs fixing: As drawn, it has too many carbon atoms (21 instead of 20) because there's an extra "CH2" between the 13,14 double bond and the C15 acid group (COOH).  Also, the 13,14 double bond should be "cis".

replies: text:  I also think that a recombinant drug shouldn't overtake the physiological protein in significance. We have a precedent in Epogen, that is, recombinant Erythropoietin, which is redirected to the physiological chemical from that search.  In most cases this seems reasonable as physiological chemicals administered exogenously have similar effects to their endogenous counterparts (although not the same: e.g. exogenous insulin).  A second page just for the drug would be double handling, but I do also agree that the Drug usage needs to be addressed formally.  Maybe a second Major Heading  further down the page "Alteplase: recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator" and a wikiproject drugs format be followed there. I suggest that this will become of increasing importance as more recombiinant drugs appear, and new drugs like alteplase may carry a different moniker than the endogenous protein.
