Talk:Edwin Wainwright

message: This article makes the claim, supported by an otherwise reliable source, that in 1983 Wainwright made a speech in the House of Commons that was so incoherent that instead of being recorded verbatim, it simply went down in Hansard as "Mr. Wainwright made a number of observations." I cannot find this passage anywhere in Hansard. A Google search for "Mr. Wainwright made a number of observations." returns no results other than articles in various sources supposedly recounting the Hansard passage. Searching for "made a number of observations" in Historic Hansard returns several pages of results, but none of them refer to Wainwright. I will try and get my hands on a copy of the book "Order, Order"", referred to in this article, but unless this claim can be substantiated directly from Hansard, I suggest it is removed. ninety:one   12:56, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Elias Kane

message: According to recent biographies of Edward Coles, Kane led pro-slavery forces in Illinois and was embroiled in several scandals. However, I have not located or read any biographies of him. Clearly, his wife's name is French, and French ownership of slaves was legal in the Illinois Territory and later state during Kane's lifetime. The online notations at findagrave.com for his namesake son indicate that his unnamed sister (i.e. Kane's daughter) married fervently anti-slavery and Catholic governor Bissell. However, Bissell's bio does give a spouse name which does not include Kane.Jweaver28 (talk) 11:47, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Slavery advocate? Further work needed 

message: I added the ref from WaPo on him being a slave owner. He was also proslavery in politics so there seems little doubt of that. One question - where I added a "citation needed" tag is here:
:"Kane's father (of the same name) is buried in Congressional Cemetery in Washington, D.C.,[citation needed] having survived this son by five years and secured his namesake grandson's admission to West Point."
There was no ref, I can't find his father's name, or where he is buried. The senator does have a cenotaph in the Congressional Cemetery so perhaps that is the origin of a misunderstanding.  I'll remove the above passage in a week or so if no ref is given. Smallbones(smalltalk) 21:43, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Washburne and his brothers had hidden the whereabouts of President-elect Lincoln by personally cutting telegraph wires in key locations.'

thread_title:  New Flash Flood Emergency 

message: It's very difficult to read this page and get a concise sense of what a flash flood warning is, how the warning systems function, or what their global context is. This page needs a lot of work. Right now it's essentially an incredibly lengthy list of flash flood warnings that have been issued in the past ~10 years for storms of questionable notability, although it's also questionable whether there is value in simply listing the first time a flash flood warning was issued in a place even if it was a notable storm; the question is whether it's relevant to the topic of this page, which is the warnings themselves. How about the first time a flash flood warning was issued anywhere in the world? Also, I really don't think there is much value in quoting verbatim 4 different specific alerts in text form, either. I may take some time in the next day or two to address some of these issues, although I hope it's not too alarming when this results in probably a significant amount of the material on the page going away, unless somebody has a strong objection. (I may be using Tornado warning as some kind of guide, although that too has been flagged as having unnecessarily long quotations of NWS alerts under an "examples" heading) Ejl389 (talk) 04:07, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Elizabeth Yates (mayor)

message: Nice find on that obituary. Other sources differ on her date of birth. 
Elizabeth was her parents' first child, and they married in 1838. In St Peter's Church in Onehunga, the register says she was born in 1842 at "Dublin B". In an interview in 1894, Elizabeth said she was born in Caithness and arrived in New Zealand (in 1852) aged seven, which suggests the birth year of 1845 as was in this article previously.
It may be worth adding this discrepancy in birth dates to the article. See note a in Kate Sheppard or footnote 1 in Tom Neale for how I have previously dealt with such conflicting information. 
If you are interested in expanding this article, I can send you my copy of Devaliant's book, or email you a scan of the relevant page.-gadfium 22:29, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: I've had a quick look at Scottish birth / baptism records for the period and there's nothing for Elizabeth Oman, daughter of George and Eleanor, in Caithness during the period in question. However, the 1851 census has the family of George and Eleanor, with daughters Elizabeth, aged 10, and Eleanor, aged 8, at Barrock Mains, Caithness. Seems like the right people. George is aged 43, and listed as a groom and Chelsea Pensioner. Eleanor, his wife, is listed as aged 38 and born in Ireland. Daughter Elizabeth, aged 10, is listed as being born in Ireland, and Eleanor, aged 8, is listed as being born in Australia. This tallies with the 99th Regiment of Foot, in which George served, being in Australia at the time, and also with a birth entry in the NSW records. Obviously thats all original research, but adds some weight to the St Peter's Church entry of Elizabeth's birth being at "Dublin B". It also supports the 1840 birth year. Elizabeth Yates' entry in the DNZB notes that "little is known about her early life of education" and gives an eight-year range for her birth, so somebody needs to research, write and publish a paper on her early life!

Talk:Ellen McCormack

message: A prior version of this page included some serious inaccuracies.  Claims that McCormack was the first serious female candidate for President completely ignore Shirley Chisholm's much stronger results four years earlier in 1972.
I am editing this out because A. this is not Shirley Chisholm's bio, and B. Because even though Chisholm had stronger results, she was on fewer ballots, she did not raise enough money to qualify for federal matching funds, and she did not recieve secret service protection.
The fact is Ellen McCormack was the first woman to qualify to recieve the same treatment as any of the male canidates. If you want to get technical Belva Ann Lockwood ran for President in the 1800's, and won the ellectoral votes of the State of Indiana, but she was never a serious candidate.
In refering to Ellen McCormack as the first serious candidate I was argueing that she was the first to recieve serious treatment while running for the nomination of one of the two major parties, Chilsolm though she got better results was not considered by many as a serious candidate. 216.201.33.20 05:57, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
