Talk:Benny Fenton

message: My update includes previous text that I had written and I've gone through and referenced it through inline citations. I've had to reword the last bit though as the article I had used as a source for it has disappeared (it was an obituary of Fenton on the AFS/11v11 website). If anyone else has an alternative source for this, please do let me know or add it back yourself.

message: I don't see Daude as a reliable source by our criteria at WP:RS, so I'm only discussing the first source:
According to Peruvian historian Del Busto Duthurburu,  José Antonio del Busto Duthurburu : Túpac Yupanqui. Descubridor de Oceanía, 2006.
      
who traced a document prepared by the conquistador Gamboa, De GAMBOA, Pedro Sarmiento.: History of the Incas and The Execution of the Inca Tupac , 2007.]  Inca Tupac would had actually conducted a large-scale expedition in the Pacific and visiting two islands closest to the South American continent : Mangareva, the main island of the Gambier Islands, and Easter Island.
I don't understand the bit about 'traced' as this wasn't lost so far as I know. There's a translation of it at . Before this is included, we need more information.

Talk:Bernice Thurman Hunter

message: How could she have been "awarded" the medal posthumously if she passed away after she was awarded it.  "Posthumously"  means she would have passed away before it was awarded.  Being 'made' and being 'awarded' is the same thing; so if she was 'made' a member of the Order of Canada in 2001 (ie, before she passed away in 2002) then she was, de facto, 'awarded' the honour.  That means that she was a Member of Order of Canada in 2001, before she had passed away.
Perhaps what really should be written here is something like:  
"...In 2001, it was decided that she be made a Member of the Order of Canada..."  This uses the subjective verb tense ("to be") and would be a more apt way to express it, because it was the decision that occured in 2001, not the award.  In my opinion.
It makes it clear that she was not actually 'made' a member of the Order in 2001, while she was still alive (which, I assume, was the case).  And in that case it would be clearer that the actual 'award', when it was officially granted, was posthumous.
It would then be more logical to understand that she was informed of the decision to proceed with granting the award (ie, in the future), shortly before her death.  But she didn't actually receive the award in 2001.  And that's important to know.

Talk:Buddhism in Taiwan

message: At the start of the article it says "Taiwan's population is 95.5% Buddhist as of 2006". Later in the article it says "Taiwan's Buddhist population grew from 800,000 in 1983 to 4.9 million in 1995". I think the initial claim cannot be true or at least needs a credible source. It is difficult to quantify the exact percentage of people in Taiwan that belong to any kind of religion as most people's beliefs are syncretic and they could rightly claim to belong to more than one kind of religion.

message: "a considerable portion of the population has spent time as Buddhist monks and nuns" This is simply incorrect. Taiwanese culture, as a result of its Confucian roots, simply doesn't encourage people to enter monastic life. The percentage of monks and nuns is quite small relative to the overall population. Also it is not common for people to take temporary ordination in Taiwan, unlike Thailand. Davidreid 01:15, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Walter de Danielston

message: By 1394, Donnchadh, Earl of Lennox had presented him with control of the hospice of the poor at a place called "Poknade". No such place as Poknade ever existed in Scotland. It's meaningless, probably a machine-scanning error left unchecked. Pol on the other hand is a topographical prefix.
"Polmadie" (pronounced "paw-ma-DEE" or more formally paul-ma-DEE) is the hospital/hospice referred to.It was a few miles from the core Lennox (Stewart) heartland. The name is attested in various surviving documents of the day.  See also New Statistical Account of Scotland, published 1845, page 688.
The institution itself disappeared centuries ago, but its general neighbourhood (on the south bank of the Clyde, city of Glasgow postcode area G42) inherited the name.

"Ballance caused another stir in 1998, when a judge ruled that nude images of Dr. Laura Schlessinger could continue to be posted on a website." rings false to me.  Why would Ballance cause a stir at the time of the Judge's ruling, and not at the time that he sold the images for publication?  In any case, it's my sense that this is the only noteworthy thing he did in 50 years of radio, and even that is of marginal value to the encyclopedia?  Anyone else in favor of deletion?
