Talk:Jake Weber

message: The Page does not mention his Part in Pulp Fiction. He played Amanda Plumbers boyfriend 'Bumpkin'. Johnwrd (talk) 13:47, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pulp Fiction 

message: Weber was born in London, the son of Susan Ann Caroline (née Coriat), a British socialite, and Thomas Evelyn "Tommy" Weber, a race car driver who also came from a wealthy family.[1][2] His father, whose name was originally Thomas Ejnar Arkner, was born in Denmark to a Danish father and English mother (whose surname, Weber, he later adopted).
Preceding is sufficient info on his ancestry.
Jake Weber's maternal grandfather was born in Mogador, Morocco to a Sephardic Jewish family.[4] Weber's maternal grandmother, Priscilla, was English; she was the daughter of politician Archibald Weigall and the granddaughter of business magnate Sir John Blundell Maple, 1st Baronet (her first husband had been peer Edward Curzon).
Cutting this ridiculous stuff out. It is more an explanation of his whole family line and their titles than his 'early years'.
:I would say some of it can be shortened. However, we should certainly have a link to his great-grandfather Archibald Weigall and great-great-grandfather Sir John Blundell Maple, 1st Baronet as they have Wikipedia entries (and Weigall was Governor of South Australia, which is pretty notable). I think this new version I put in trims it effectively enough. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 04:39, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Outside of Wikipedia, someone may be interested in your story.

message: I always understood that "Blasphemous Rumours" was about 2 episodes of the same girl's life, not 2 different girls.  The suicide attempt at 16, the "born again" moment when she hit 18, only to be jerked around by fate when she gets killed.

Talk:Silver Star (NZR train)

message: The article's introduction currently contains this text:
It replaced the Night Limited express passenger trains, which provided a faster service than the "Ordinary Expresses" by stopping at only six intermediate stations en-route and not dragging postal or parcels vans at the rear. The Silver Star stopped at the same six stations.
I think it would be helpful to mention which stations these were, and perhaps provide some sort of description of the train's travel time (not a timetable, as that isn't really encyclopaedic).  Some other articles contain statements along the lines of "it departed Kaitaia at 3pm and reached Te Anau at 5:30pm after passing through Nelson and Taupo", and I think some brief statement like that would serve as useful clarification here.  I unfortunately don't have anything like a Silver Star timetable though, so I can't make this addition myself. - Axver 03:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:John W. Morgan

message: There seems to be a debate whether or not this should be included as a term to describe Mayor Morgan or not.
From refering to different sources on the internet (and it is clearly defined in the Intellectual Wikipedia article) I concluded that it is not a fair title for John because he does not fit the defination.
The term seems to reflect people like Noam Chomsy, Ron Paul, or Richard Dawkins as highly educated people who act outside of the estiblished groups usually with radical ideas with fringe but strong support.
John's idea seem to be more or less what most people want. He is just using his political capital to fight for them. I'd say that is a bit different.
There was a comparison to Michael Ignatieff as well that I would like to address.
Why Michael is sometimes addressed as a public intellectual extends from his time as a BBC reporter doing various documentaries on a whole host of subjects. Also, he has a PhD from Harvard, tought at Harvard, UBC, Oxford, and Cambridge. He has wrote dozens of articles and books on forgein relations and other political topics. 
And there is a linked reference that refers to him as a public intellectual: http://www.infoplease.com/spot/topintellectuals.html
Because I know someone is going to go on here and say I am John bashing again please refrain. Public Intellectual is a label. It is BOTH positive and negative. I try to refrain from labeling people something that can be negative. Public Intellectuals are often critized for being too far removed from the regular people and therefore lack grounding to and appreication for regular working class people. I do not believe John lacks the grounding or appreicationof the regular Joe so I do not want a label cast on him that he may not completely fit and could damage public opinion about him. -Kirkoconnell (talk) 18:00, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
