Talk:Jean Parker

message: Quite a miracle giving birth to such a talented person who just starts working after right beeing born. I wonder what he did AFTER this modest beginning …  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.8.88.90 (talk) 00:24, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I have reverted an edit that changed Parker's birthplace from Butte, Montana, to Deer Lodge, Montana. The source that immediately follows that part of the text clearly gives Butte, Montana, as her birthplace. If someone has a reference that supports some other place, that source needs to be provided. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:35, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed the birthplace to Butte a couple of years ago, which is indicated in both her obituaries by The Independent and The Guardian, but this has since been changed, presumably following the reversion you made that restored Butte as her birthplace. Some sources do indeed state she was born in Deer Lodge, but at this point is impossible to know for certain. Since I made my edit in 2018, there have been a variety of edits that have resulted in a messy patchwork job, including a sentence that stated that her birth name was "erroneously reported" as Luise Stephanie Zelinska; however, upon checking the corresponding source, it simply states she was born Lois Mae Green, and says nothing about any "erroneous" reporting of the Zelinska birthname. In any case, I've created an explanatory footnote highlighting the disputes among sources regarding the various details of Parker's birth: As of my writing this, the available sources suggest birth years of 1915 and 1916 (the D'Ambrosio book cited lists both 1915 and 1916 on the same page!), birthplaces of either Deer Lodge or Butte, Montana; and birth names of Lois Mae Green or Luise Stephanie Zelinska. I have indicated in the footnote which sources state which, and I think that is going to have to suffice for the time being. I urge editors to refrain from making changes to this as the cold, hard facts cannot be corroborated at this point given the disparities between the sources available. --Drown Soda (talk) 19:54, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: , Thank you for your explanation here and for your addition of the explanatory note to the article.

message: WHAT was the inspiration for and development of the song?  These kind of WIKI articles about songs need a section entitled "SONGWRITING, BACKGROUND & INSPIRATION."

Talk:Brian Fitzgerald (politician)

message: Per WP:ACRONYM, "SIPTU" should be spelled out the first time it is used. Wikipedia is written for an international audience, not just for people already in the know. Readers outside of Ireland won't have a clue what SIPTU means, even if that's what everyone in Ireland calls it. WP:ACRONYM lists "BBC" as an exception to this rule, by the way. Ground Zero | t 20:05, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, lets create some rules then render them pointless by adding exceptions, whatever! Also its wikilinked, so "readers won't have a clue argument" is nonsense, unless they don't know how wiki links work, in which case the whole of wikipedia is pointless to them! Snappy (talk) 14:25, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't understand your argument for providing less information to the reader instead of more. Wikipedia is here to provide information to an international audience, not just people who already know this stuff. Why make a reader click on a link to understand an article? Why is the problem with just spelling it out? People who already know what SIPTU is are hardly inconvenienced by seeing the full name. If you disagree with WP:ACRONYM, you can suggest changes to it on the appropriate talk page. Ground Zero | t 17:39, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:John Hyrcanus

message: I just changed the transliterated name provided here for Hyrcanus.  According to the translation of the coin provided by CNG (http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=56002), the name is Yehohanan (y-h-h.-n-n).  I am also confused as to the rest of the translation because I think that the last word is y-d-a.  Either way I can't read it very well, but it seems to be either Y-d-a or Y-h-d which is also found on coins in reference to Judah and not Jews - (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yehud_Medinata).
