thread_title:  ''Can't Fight Lightening'' notes 

message: The article currently states that the song Life Begins at 40 "remained unreleased until it was included on the 1998 John Lennon Anthology compilation".  I don't think that this is factually accurate.  I'm pretty sure that the song was released on The Lost Lennon Tapes radio program in the late 1980s - early 1990s.  Sorry, I don't have a source, I'm going by my memory having listed to the show when it was originally broadcast.  A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 11:54, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Strawberry Field

message: Davies in The Beatles Book states under Strawberry Field, Woolton, "Originally it was a field where strawberries were grown." --Jbergquist (talk) 00:07, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Strawberries once grown there 

message: Hi. Looking at the satellite photo of Strawberry Fields for the first time, I was surprised to see not not much in the way of 'grounds' and a large modern building occupying much of the site. There is a flattened area that seems to be a temporary building site.
The visitor centre/cafe looks like a typical characterless tourist 'attraction' going by photos on Wikimedia.
There appears to be extensive modern landscaping around the building that may have eradicated the original grounds, and photos on the visitor centre website and Wikimedia illustrate this.
The fascination with seeing Strawberry Fields is because of what it meant to John Lennon. 
The song was "Strawberry Fields Forever" (evocative of a mysterious paradise that the visitor website says was how John regarded it), not "Strawberry Fields Merchandising".
Anyway, given how culturally important the song, John and the Beatles are, any records of how Strawberry Fields was when John played there would be of great interest, though the best recollection may always be the song itself. P.Fletcher31.94.1.152 (talk) 12:04, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

message: You’ve added some good information to this, in particular the explanation of the sea coal that they burned and why it was so bad-smelling and otherwise unpleasant to burn.  The citations you added give the article more credence. If I were to offer a suggestion as to things you could add I would suggest you briefly explain why lime-burning and brewing added to the air pollution, since it is not completely self-evident. I would also add a link to air pollution in the see also section, since it is related and not exactly the same thing as smog.Leav5419 (talk) 05:25, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Peer Review 

message: Maybe add a section on why this document is now (still?) considered such a seminal piece of work in the air pollution world. It's widely cited - and indeed quoted from in virtually every contemporary book about British air pollution some 350 years after its publication. I may do this myself but just noting it here for now. 45154james (talk) 15:08, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Influence 

message: Or is there an earlier one? Peter Brimblecombe's book The Big Smoke (p40) cites at least one earlier book addressing air pollution in London: Hugh Plat's A Fire of Coal Balles (1603) and says (of Fumifugium) "However, it must not be considered in isolation because it reflects much that was being written and said by influential people of the time". So I think it's perhaps misleading to describe FF as definitively the earliest work and also attach Brimblecombe to that statement as its citation? That's not to say that we can't rewrite the sentence a little bit to make it clear that it was, in effect, the first actual book on air pollution. But the proposed edit, which I've reverted, doesn't seem quite right to me? 45154james (talk) 17:19, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Company sergeant major

message: It has been a while, but I don't think a CSM is ever referred to as "Sir".  As a matter of fact, I remember the standard reply from a CSM, when they were mistakenly addressed as "Sir" is "DON'T YOU CALL ME SIR SOLDIER............I HAVE A REAL JOB!!  Niloc
:I believe you are broadly correct (and I speak as a complete outsider: I've never been in the Army, the TA, or even the cadets): however, as ever with the British Army, there are exceptions. The Queen's Royal Lancers call their Squadron Sergeant Majors 'sir' (and their Staff Sergeants 'Sergeant Major' — see here). And the Coldstream Guards even call their Colour Sergeants 'sir' (here). 
:Call me Mr Cynical, but I wonder if the senior NCOs of different units conspire to make their rules on protocol as inconsistent, confusing and byzantine as possible, precisely so they can pounce with joyful wrath when new recruits, and those posted outside their parent regiment, inevitably screw up. — Franey 08:28, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sergeants will say that. Warrant Officers, however, frequently expect to be called "Sir". In my experience, it varies with the individual. Some prefer "Sir"; some prefer "Sergeant-Major". -- Necrothesp 11:40, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Every CSM I've ever known in the Canadian Army has been "Sir".Michael Dorosh 14:42, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  CSM - Sir? 

message: Note that in the British Armed Forces the plural is "sergeant majors" and not "sergeants major". That would assume that a sergeant major is a sergeant and "major" is simply a modifier. However, in Britain this is not the case. The sergeant major is a warrant officer, not a senior sergeant, and the rank or appointment is entirely separate from that of sergeant. For an illustration of official British usage see the very bottom of this page of the London Gazette. And it isn't a new usage either: see  this page from 1881. The earliest usage of "sergeant majors" in The Times is in 1822. The last of the (very occasional) usages of "sergeants major", except when referring to American NCOs, is in 1938. I'm not sure of the practice in the rest of the Commonwealth, although it was certainly identical to the British practice up to and during World War II. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:01, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

message: What is the basis for saying this is "One of Harrison's most popular songs" when it didn't even make it into the Top 20? Was it as popular as his #1 hits My Sweet Lord, Give Me Love, and Got My Mind Set On You, or his #2 hit All Those Years Ago?  Is it as popular as Taxman, Something, or While My Guitar Gently Weeps?  The only support for this statement is an AOL Radio listeners poll from 2010, hardly a definitive source.  I suggest we delete that phrase from the introductory paragraph, or replace it with something like "A Top 40 hit in multiple countries,"Historydude58 (talk) 14:09, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Woman Is the Nigger of the World

message: 10/16/06  HOWARD STERN MENTIONED THIS SONG TODAY BECAUSE IT CONTAINED THE WORD "NIGGER".
::and...? Freshacconci 19:20, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: This section contains sources that may be unreliable or misinterpreted. The article states that many prominent "black people" spoke out in defense of the song, however, only one person, Lennon's friend Dick Gregory, is identified and there is no indication of any specific statements by him. The article also claims that Congressman Ron Dellums was "another supporter" and offers a quote by him. The quote in question came from a speech Dellums gave to the California Democratic Council on March 18, 1972 (see ) and had nothing to do with Lennon's song, which hadn't been released yet. Apple placed an adverstisement for the single in the May 6th issue of Billboard magazine quoting Dellums, ostensibly to demonstrate the broader use of the term. They went even further in an ad in Jet magazine that contained a purported quote by Dellums saying "I agree with John and Yoko. Women are the niggers of the world" (see ). Dellums wrote to Jet saying he "never made any such statement" and that he was the victim of an over-zealous effort to "capture a portion of the Black music market" (see ). The source popmatters.com is also incorrect about Lennon appearing with Gregory on the cover of Jet in July 1971. The cover story, "Ex-Beatle Tells How Black Stars Changed His Life", appeared afterwards, in the October 26, 1972 issue and does not contain any statements by Gregory.

thread_title:  "Meaning" section 

message: The lead says "the song sparked controversy at the time due to the use of the word "nigger" in the title."
But as far as I can tell, that isn't supported by the body of the article or any of the sources. There's an LA times article cited, but it's inaccessible (afaict), and the specific reference to the title was added later. 75.172.73.172 (talk) 04:11, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

message: On the page about socket wrenches, there is this statement:

Yet on this page about impact wrenches, it states that impact sockets are made of hard metal.
