Talk:Edward Bridges, 1st Baron Bridges

message: I have commented out the list of postnominals because the order they are listed in is quite wrong. Nothing (apart from the VC) comes before the Garter, for instance, and the Garter most certainly doesn't come after the RVO. The order in the text of the lead looks right, at first glance, but the editor who added the gongs to the info-box needs to check, I think. Tim riley (talk) 19:45, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Edward Gordon, Baron Gordon of Drumearn

message: This is one of those rarish 19th-century titles with the format "Baron X of Y, in the County of Z" (see the example given in territorial designation). It was obviously needed for uniqueness (there was already a Dukedom of Gordon held by the Dukes of Richmond and a Viscountcy of Gordon held by the Earls of Aberdeen, not to mention the "Gordon of Somewhere" Lordships held by the Marquesses of Huntly).

Talk:Dan DeCarlo

message: It's per Wikipedia style guidelines. This from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_%28dates_and_numbers%29#Avoid_overlinking_dates
:Avoid overlinking dates
:If the date does not contain a day and a month, date preferences will not work, and square brackets will not respond to your readers' auto-formatting preferences. So unless there is a special relevance of the date link, there is no need to link it. This is an important point: simple months, years, decades and centuries should only be linked if there is a strong reason for doing so. Make only links relevant to the context for the reasons that it's usually undesirable to insert low-value chronological links.
:Usage of links for date preferences
:* year only. So 1974 → 1974. Generally, do not link unless they will clearly help the reader to understand the topic.
:* month only. So April → April. Generally, do not link
:* century. So 20th century → 20th century. Generally, do not link
:* decade. So 1970s → 1970s. Generally, do not link (Including an apostrophe [1970's] is incorrect)
:* year and month. So April 1974 → April 1974 Generally, do not link
:* new year and month. So April 2000 → April 2000 Generally, do not link unless they will clearly help the reader to understand the topic. Presently, articles only exist for combinations from the year 2000 to current
:* day of the week (with or without other date elements). So Tuesday → Tuesday. Generally, do not link.--Tenebrae 02:16, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Chris Anderson (pianist)

message: Because I have Osteogenesis Imperfecta I'm actually hesitant to make claims someone is OI for fear it'll be seen as activist. This pianist does have a brittle bone disorder, but I could not confirm it was OI and there are other brittle bone disorders. Further several sources mention he sings and the OIs I know, including myself, usually have reduced lung capacity and a high-pitched nasal voice which makes singing awkward. Because of that I'm going to hold off saying what he has until I have some information that's definite. (Besides 2 jazz pianists of renown with OI, it seems unlikely somehow.)--T.

But from 1952 to 1964 the Conservatives were in government; and from 1964 to 1966 he was an executive member of the 1922 Committee (which is composed of backbenchers), so can't have been a frontbench spokesman.

Talk:Edward J. Flynn

message: While giving the basic curriculum vitae, this misses some important facts about Ed Flynn that I can't really enter myself since they'd be very derivative, and need some more-direct referencing.
Flynn was a supporter of the New Deal in the Bronx, and a close ally and advisor of FDR when Al Smith and Tammany Hall were at first unenthusiastic and later hostile (partly because it provided an alternative channel of patronage). Flynn and James Farley also helped establish the American Labor Party as a vehicle for socialists, other non-Democrats and anti-Tammany voters to support the New Deal from outside. (It was also a convenient meeting ground for pro-New Deal Republicans like Fiorello La Guardia.)

replies: text: Inline citations are not required for short bios, up to start class. The info is mostly from the Congressional Biographical Dictionary.

Please clarify. So how can follow-on editors know what sources you were using for what information unless you say so? I don't think you need to add a citation after each sentence, by the way, just after each topic or change of reference: "early life", "military career", "Battle of Minisink Ford", "political career", etc. Thanks, Wordreader (talk) 22:33, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

“ The Bench! Awful sound! What visions of folly and roguery, of sloth and seediness, of ruin and recklessness, are conjured up to the imagination in these two words! It is the “Hades” of commerce—the “Inferno” of fortune. Within its grim walls—surmounted by a chevaux de frise, classically termed “Lord Ellenborough’s teeth”—dwell at this moment members of almost every class of society.”

thread_title:  A note on British English 

message: I accept that the fan of the year award was not a club honour, but is it not better noted elsewhere on the page than completely removed? It is intrisically to do with the club and the viral video which went onto to be featured on the bbc is major exposure for the club beyond what they have otherwise seen (at least recently). I saw the video on the bbc having never heard of Witham town FC beforehand and was surprised to see no mention of it on the Wikipedia page, hence making the addition. If this is not the best place to note this information, where should it be noted? I’m a new editor but it seems backwards to totally remove any remotely noteworthy information from an encyclopaedia.     TroyOlympicCollateral (talk) 00:39, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia is not about recording "any remotely noteworthy information" it is about recording notable facts that can be verified by multiple independent sources. The recent addition is in the realms of trivia which isn't what Wikipedia is about.

Talk:Edward Lloyd (Governor of Maryland)

message: I have inserted a short section about Lloyd's role in dumb slavery, as he may have owned more than a thousand. But I believe this ought to be expanded. There have been some attempts to exonerate him at the personal level, as if he were not responsible for the barbarian acts of his overseers. But in fact Douglass Frederick is scathing in his description of how even the "privileged" slaves in charge of Lloyd's horses are constantly accused and abused by Lloyd personally, followed by cruel beatings, since Lloyd was as obssesive about the wellbeing of his horses as he was about his right to make life hell for his slaves.
Not that I want to burden Wikipedia with excessive political correctness, but to highlight how he bred a new dog race without making much of how he systematically built his fortune and political career on treating fellow human beings as lower than dogs, including how nasty he was to his slaves even at a close personal level, seem to me like writing an article about Hitler emphasising how he built the Autobahn with only fleeting mention of his human rights record...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rasmus Sonderriis (talk • contribs) 13:20, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
