Talk:Jeff Rovin

message: I updated this page with a listing of his books, but was unsure as to what would be the best places to insert references, and even with the case of him being called "The best of the new generation of military adventure writers.", I only have the front cover of one of his books that I know mentions this, and not sure if that was said in a magazine article about him or the such, hopefully others will be able to help provide better references if needed or at least mention what type of references might be useful, a review of each book telling about his writings seemed rather impractical, when he's written under so many different subjects.(Floppydog66 (talk) 19:11, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Book Reviews and References to his works

message: Added "The Transgalactic Guide to Solar System M-17", published (at least as early as) 1981; references: http://www.sukip.com/Books/Transgalactic_Guide_to_Solar_System_M17_the_1981_Novel/share , http://www.worldcat.org/isbn/0399504923 , http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0399504923/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used . It's also heavily illustrated; I don't have a copy currently (and wouldn't that be OR?), and can't find a reference to who the illustrator was. I'd been searching for this book (not remembering the precise title) for years, only to suddenly recall the full title today; was surprised to find no reference to it on Wikipedia, despite this fairly complete entry on the author. 64.47.69.254 (talk) 18:12, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks I missed that one :s I did find that "Ron Walotsky" is credited as cover illustrator on Abebooks.com, and you can find the book on amazon.com, Ebay.com and few other places, it sounds like his version of the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Thanks again. (Floppydog66 (talk) 09:10, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Actually, it's more of a straight tourist guide; the solar system has either four or five inhabited planets, each with its own sentient species, and the guide reads like a "Enjoying Your Stay In The Virgin Islands" sort of thing - IE, it purports to be non-fiction, and definitely lacks humor. The illustrations in the interior (plentiful, generally 1 per every two pages) are by a different artist than the cover - or at least, are stylistically different. 64.47.69.254 (talk) 14:44, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Bernard Vann

message: We have a reference for his ordination as a deacon but do we know if he was then ordained as a priest? (It would be normal for a deacon of the C of E to be further ordained after one or two years.) Nedrutland (talk) 07:43, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Gliddon says the inscription on Vann's headstone was written by the Bishop of Peterborough, who ordained him on 22 September 1911 but as a deacon (according to Gliddon). I see you added a cite for the 1910 deacon ordination so I would suspect that Gliddon has it slightly wrong and the 1911 ordination was as a priest. Zawed (talk) 07:57, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

I have now added a contemporary newspaper reference for the Advent ordinations. I suspect his curacy at St Saviour's might follow his ordination as priest but can find no mention of it.

Talk:Bernard Warburton-Lee

message: I doubt it is correct (infobox) that his service with RN began in 1917, year of his 20th birthday when so many RN officers began at earlier ages.

Talk:Hunches in Bunches

message: So, how come it was published in 1957 and mentions video games?  Seems more likely that it is a book in the style of doctor Zeuss.  Also, not his tone with a reference to being "stupid."
This entry is commercial abuse of the site.  It sounds like an add and is paraphrased from the publisher's material.  Interesting stuff that would have been the topic of dicussion is missing. 
And another thing, book reviews are not supporsed to be plot summaries.
And another thing, at the risk of appealing to my own authority, as a psychiatrist who practices CBT (common talking treatment used by psychologists), the refenrence to adhd and especially depression is rediculous.  Got a reference?
Hence, the major edit.

thread_title:  Stubborn Red Link 

message: He grew up in Madeley where his father was rector, which may give rise to understanding he was born there. However, a few years ago I read that according to someone whose research was reported in the Shropshire Star newspaper, Yate was recorded on a census to have been born in Germany where his parents were staying apparently. Without the news item to hand, I cannot alter it. Given the anti-German sentiment that swept English society during WWI it is probably understandable that the fact may have been a less comfortable one to broadcast, for fear of the family being perceived to be pro-enemy. I wonder where the birth registration indexes, which would give his full Christian names, place him?Cloptonson (talk) 07:02, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Charles Pye

message: The following was submitted by Elizabeth Pye on 22 January 2000
Charles's medals (from India and New Zealand) are held in a private military museum in Papatoetoe, Auckland, New Zealand.  Medals include Punjab Campaign medal; Indian Mutiny medal, Sutlej campaign medal and 3 clasps, Gwalior campaign star (bronze star); and New Zealand campaign medals.
Submitted by Elizabeth Pye 21 November 2007.
On 17 November 2007 a commemoration service was held at the graveside of Captain Charles Pye at the Tower Hill cemetery to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the awarding of the Victoria Cross.  About 50 descendants of William Pye and Joseph Pye, half brothers of Captain Charles Pye, attended the commemoration.  A dedication stone to Charles Pye was also erected and unveiled at the Kirkstall Hotel.

Talk:I'm with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie

message: Please edit the article.  The word "it's" is used improperly, which drives me nuts.  "It's" is ONLY used as a contraction for the words "it is" or possibly "it has."  It is NEVER NEVER NEVER a possessive.  The proper possessive of "it" is "its," with no apostrophe.
Same is true of all other pronouns.  None of them become possessive with the addition of apostrophe and S, only by adding S - such as hers, theirs, etc.

:REPLY: Yes, it is true.  The depiction of General Ghengis Kahn Schmitz and his army of cowards is clearly anti-military, and the protagonist's final determination to use a "big bat" to deal with his troubles and make trouble for them unambiguously supports the idea of solving problems with violence.
