Talk:John Kelly (Sinn Féin politician)

message: I'm adding info all sourced from the Irish Times of 7 Sept. 2007.Red Hurley 10:48, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Irish Times source

message: His last imprisonment was for the killing by bombing of nine pedestrians in a loyalist part of Belfast. He spent in all 15 years in prison, and was released under the Peace Process provisions. - Are you sure this is right? The only person I can think of that was responsible for a bombing that killed nine civilians and was released was Sean Kelly (Irish republican). There weren't that many bombings that killed nine people. Are there any more details on this, as it doesn't seem right? Thanks. One Night In Hackney303 12:38, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: After having seen the Irish Times article, it's coming out. That information is not in the article. For John Kelly to have been a councillor in 1997 he would have been out of prison pre-GFA, and I seriously doubt (especially considering he served two previous prison sentences) anyone convicted of killing nine people would have been released after serving less than 15 years pre-GFA.

replies: text: Maybe you'd also like to find out what he was convicted of, before he was released under the GFA provisions?Red Hurley 13:50, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He wasn't released under the GFA provisions as far as I know, as that was in 1998. He was a member of Magherafelt District Council from 1997, and elected as an MLA in 1998. You've confused John Kelly and Sean Kelly. I've already checked through the various books I have and can find no details of his other prison terms.

Talk:John Kerr (actor)

message: The article states that John Kerr was a Beverly Hills lawyer in the 1960's.  The website of the State Bar of California http://www.calbar.ca.gov shows only three persons named "John Kerr" as follows:
John A. Kerr, admitted May 1938, and now deceased.
John Dale Kerr, admitted June 1982, currently active.
John Graham Kerr, admitted June 1970, currently inactive.
None of these fit with John Kerr, the actor.  In 1938, he was only 7, and if he were admitted in 1970 or 1982, he obviously could not have had a legal career in the 1960's, at least not in Beverly Hills, California.
This needs clarification.

Talk:John Kongos

message: A bit of a mystery here someone might be able to solve: in 1970 New Zealand band The Human Instinct included a cover of a Kongos song, "Tomorrow I'll Go" (labelled simply as "Tomorrow") on their album Stoned Guitar. The song appeared on Kongos' 1972 self-titled album. Where did the Human Instinct pick it up? Had Kongos already released it? Grimhim (talk) 09:02, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In the liner notes of the latest (2011) reissue of Stoned Guitar, Human Instinct's Maurice Greer mentions that he'd befriended John Kongos in London in the late 60s while Kongos was still a member of Floribunda Rose. So, Kongos must have recorded (or at least written) the song a few years before it appeared on his 1972 album. Muzilon (talk) 12:30, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:John Records Landecker

message: "Don R. Vaughan, Ph.D. in Mass Communication at Miss. State University, who is a radio historian, recalls a myriad quips from 'Boogie Check.'"
Does this line really belong here?  Maybe if it was followed by some examples of what Dr. Vaughan recalls but as it stands it is nonsensical as it's not footnoted to some article nor does it directly mention any media in which these recollections were noted.  So some fellow who is a historian recalls something.  Well, I myself recall the Boogie Checks to some extent.  Is the fact of my recollecting encyclopedic?  I think this line should be removed unless someone can augment it. Filmteknik (talk) 03:39, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:John Leventhal

message: The article currently contains a sentence stating that "Leventhal has produced albums that have been nominated for a total of 18 Grammy Awards", citing a ref with a dead link. I found the cited text using Internet Archive, and that Chicago Tribune article says absolutely nothing to support that statement, and barely mentions Leventhal. Below is the archived-url, for the record:
https://web.archive.org/web/20140111033314/http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2014-01-07/lifestyle/sns-201401070000--tms--celebtrvctnct-a20140107-20140107_1_high-street-johnny-cash-john-leventhal
The official Grammy website says he has 5 Grammy wins and 5 nominations, but the list of nominations doesn't add up to 5:
https://www.grammy.com/grammys/artists/john-leventhal/9277
So, I'm going to edit the article to keep the sentence about number of nominations, but delete that ref and add the cn template. I'm also going to take the questionable number of nominations out of the lede, and add a ref for the number of Grammy wins. NOLA1982 (talk) 17:33, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Steve McMahon was born in Liverpool in 1961, so the John McMahon born in Manchester in 1949 is not his brother!

It was nothing to do with the hypothetical easy on the eye property of green.

In certain areas of the bilge, particularly shaft alley, water may collect and eventually form rust which must be chipped away and then painted. Since this activity is not technical in nature, it falls to the wiper to perform the task. While the deckplates are up there is a good opportunity for the wiper to learn the function of piping, valves and sometimes wiring that run under the deckplates.
