message: I don't have much recorded evidence for this, but anecdotally, Bevois Valley is just a road and an industrial park; there's little else there besides residences and pubs.
Perhaps the article should be renamed [Bevois], [Bevois, Southamtpon] or [Bevois (suburb)], and its scope widened to cover the districts of Bevois Mount, Bevois Valley and Bevois Town: the three Bevois 'suburbs'. They'd be considerably more content worth including then: Bevois Mount includes Lodge Road, several places of worship, a school and noteworthy pubs and shops; and Bevois Town is an uninteresting but picturesque (in places) area of terraced houses, which includes the Bevois Town and Bevois Castle pubs.
Again, no evidence here, but I would imagine there is/was some sort of 'Bevois Parish', which could be a basis for researching a more in depth article. For these names and locations, search for 'SU 4250 1345' here.

I'd argue that the Bevois area (whether it's called Bevois Town or Bevois Valley) is distinct from those two suburbs. In my mind Bevois Town and Bevois Valley are just different terms for the same general area but I may be wrong. As ever, adequate referencing to reliable sources is the key.

Talk:Farnborough, London

message: I feel like this shouldn't be listed as "Farnborough, London" it's quite rural this sounds at first urban. I know it's in the county of Greater London but it's post town is Orpington, Kent which is not it's present County. May I suggest "Farnborough, Orpington"  this is correct post town plus correct area in regards to UK parliament area (Orpington (UK Parliament constituency)), plus it sounds not so urban.

replies: text: There is a convention within UK articles that where disambiguation is needed, the article is called location, county; ie "Farnborough, London". postal counties are unrelated to the administration of the district. The post office did not adjust them when the boundaries were changed in 1965; and 'counties' were abolished for postal purposes in 1996. Kbthompson (talk) 14:56, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

replies: text:  Yes, Britain's botched-up county nomenclature strikes again. For administrative purposes Farnborough is part of Greater London, and has been since 1965. However, these new 'counties' were never supposed to be eradicate the historic counties as geographic, cultural entities. Hence it also lies in Kent (as I'm sure most residents there would agree). The failure of successive government to make this distinction clear has resulted in the complete confusion that now reigns on the matter (though the current government has made some belated attempts in this direction: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/celebrating-the-historic-counties-of-england/celebrating-the-historic-counties-of-england).WisDom-UK (talk) 21:59, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Laughing Cavalier

message: I have been looking at a reasonably high resolution reproduction of the painting. I have also seen the original many years ago. The cavalier does not have a smile, enigmatic or otherwise, though it is true that on first glance it does appear so. If you look carefully at the mouth in isolation you will see that there is no hint of a smile. In fact if you take the image and remove the moustache most people would not 'see' any smile.
The fact that on first glance there is an illusion of smile and to some, a persistent sense of one, and that the portrait has become known as The Laughing Cavalier does make the smile a reality. 
The bold statement of fact, "the subject does, in fact, sport an enigmatic smile." is an opinion and should not be expressed as a statement of fact. The sentence should therefore be qualified to note that many 'believe' that the subject sports an enigmatic smile. That way both views are accounted for.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.187.233.172 (talk) 21:20, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article size 

message: "Until the death of John Rice on November 5, 2005, the two held the world record for being the shortest living twins, standing only 2 ft 10 in (86 cm)."
No indication of when they acquired the record.  But however long they held it for, I have trouble believing it at all.  Twin births aren't that rare, and the average length of a newborn baby was 20 inches when I went to school.  Presumably the average length of a newborn twin is a little less than this.  I don't know at what age the average child exceeds this height, but there's no way that all other twins alive in that space of time were born bigger than that.
If something else was meant (e.g. shortest twins above a certain age, or shortest twins capable of standing upright) then this needs to be specified.
Moreover, is the record of "shortest twins" determined by the height of the shorter one, the taller one, the mean or what? — Smjg (talk) 21:37, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Again, there's no way these can be the shortest siblings across the entire human species.  I can only guess that they sometimes write "shortest X" when they really mean "shortest X aged Y or above" or some such, in which case we need to find out the value of Y, and in any case stop the bogus statements on WP regardless of from where the bogosity comes. — Smjg (talk) 19:17, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
