Talk:Warnborough College/Archive 1

message: An editor of this page () appears to have a conflict of interest which violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view.  The IP noted above resolves to warnb0r0.plus.com, presumably a network address used by Warnborough College.  This user has made constructive edits to user 's talk page, a self-declared agent of Warnborough College who was eventually blocked for improper edits to the Warnborough College page. In fact, I believe these two users to be the same person or at least co workers at Warnborough College.
To maintain Wikipedia's credibility and therefore usefulness, users are expected to refrain from editing pages in which they may even appear to have a conflict of interest.  The scope of my complaint here is specifically on conflict of interest and I am not attempting to call into question the veracity of these users' edits--although by its very nature, a conflict of interest creates these questions of trustworthiness.
At this point, this article reads more like Warnborough College's résumé than an encyclopedic article on the college.  Efforts at making this article more encyclopedic would be very welcome--especially when references are cited. --67.188.0.96 01:14, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I have reverted your last edit because there were too many improper edits made by you for me to properly clean up. If you wish to discuss the issues here, please feel free to do so by adding your thoughts. If you persist in deleting or rearranging other people's comments, I will make a recommendation that you be indefinitely blocked, as your previous block seems not to have made an impression with you.
I want to be clear again that my objection to your behavior is not the content of your additions.  Rather, it is the reckless disregard you have for Wikipedia conventions, etiquette, and especially conflict of interest.  --67.188.0.96 19:05, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:1948 British Grand Prix

message: The references section of this article is a total mess. I'm really not sure what is being referenced by what, and as far as I can tell there's no reference at all for the laps completed, times and reasons for retirement. I'm not sure that I want to try to fix this though as it's just such a mess! A7V2 (talk) 06:23, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: There are references provided for everything. Bear in mind that when this article was written, well over a decade ago, community standards for referencing were somewhat different. Actually, according to written guidelines they haven't changed, only controversial or otherwise contentious information and quotations are required to have an inline citation, but these days people expect more. Are people becoming lazy? Are people simply expecting all articles to be at the same level as the gold standard ones? Who knows. In this case there are only 8 references listed, so it wouldn't be too hard to check where specific details come from. It you desperately need each and every factoid to have its own little blue flag then please feel free to go ahead and add them. Pyrope 17:17, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I was in particular referring to to some of the non-finishers, as they disagree with Doug Nye's "The British Grand Prix". The 009900 webpage has no laps completed, and unsurprisingly I don't have the Oct 1948 copy of "The Motor" to check against. I have made changes which are also supported by the Motorsport Magazine database (which also doesn't show laps completed, but has the same order of nonfinishers as Nye's book). I will also point out that Nye's book lists Walker and Ansell/Brainbridge as "flagged off" rather than 11th and 12th, but since MS Mag database, and the existing article, had them as 11th and 12th I have left these.

Talk:1991 Australian Endurance Championship

message: The 1991 Australian Endurance Championship page says that "The pointscore system allowed a driver to drop his worst result" however the 1991 CAMS Manual says that "in all racing Championships.....if fewer than 7 rounds are conducted all performances will count". Do we have anything to tell us that the 91 AEC was an explicit exception to the general rule? GTHO 01:48, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is common sense. With only two rounds contested, dropping your worst score makes the series utterly pointless. The published pointscores at the time in the respective magazines reflected the two race nature. --Falcadore 02:46, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  SCSC 

message: The second sentence of the lead paragraph reads "The SCSC is the definitive and authoritative body for information on the Scottish Clan System.[1]"  This is rubbish and will be removed.  First, because the "source" it cites to support the claim is the website of the SCSC itself!  And second, because the SCSC is in no way "the definitive and authoritative body for information on the Scottish Clan System [sic}".  That's utter nonsense.  For that to be true, authority would have to have been granted by some official body larger and/more powerful than itself.  No such authority exists.  Their "constitution" was supposedly enacted in 1952.  Who authorized it?  The British Crown?  Parliament?  The House of Lords?  The Lord Lyon King of Arms?  The not-yet-extant Scottish Parliament?  Nope.  A group of Scotsmen simply declared themselves to be so.  The SCSC website claims that the SCSC was "founded...by the then Lord High Constable of Scotland, The Countess of Erroll..."  They are referring to Diana Hay, 23rd Countess of Erroll but, although she was technically "Lord High Constable of Scotland" from 1941-64, that title had become almost entirely honorary in 1707, more than two centuries earlier.  So the Countess of Erroll would have had no authority to set up any kind of legal authority over Scottish Clans nor, as nearly as I can tell, did she claim to have any such authority.  The Lord Lyon King of Arms operates under the aegis of the British Crown.  In order for the SCSC to have any legal authority, they would have to have been granted it by the Lord Lyon.  No such authorization exists.  So despite the image that the SCSC cultivates, they are not "the definitive and authoritative body" of anything.  They are a private group that promotes Scottish clans, tourism, pride, etc., but they lack any legal authority.Bricology (talk) 08:21, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: More generally, [whatever] is the definitive and authoritative body for information on [whatever] is ridiculous: while an explanation can be authoritative, I have trouble seeing how a body can be; and "definitive body" is a puzzling notion indeed. -- Hoary (talk) 14:06, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Im times past there were several RN officers who were promoted to captain at younger ages e.g. Alexander Thomas Emeric Vidal.

Talk:Village (Vermont)

message: Because i've been involved in stupid edit warring in village vs. NRHP HD articles in VT and other states in recent weeks, i've encountered various cases where there are "villages" which span into more than one town.  Hence, I edited the intro to include mention of that possibility, as in "In the U.S. state of Vermont, villages are named communities usually located within the boundaries of an incorporated town. Some villages span a border between towns. Villages may be incorporated or unincorporated."
I find editor Orlady deletes that clarification.  Can someone please point out one or more examples specifically where a village does span borders.  For now, I will just add fact tags to various unsupported sentences in this article. doncram (talk) 06:56, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

There's no citation in the article or edit history that suggests this is a valid taxonomic revision, and scientific consensus (e.g. Wiens et al. 2012; Reptile-Database) has the Phrynosomatidae as a family within Iguania, and Iguanidae sensu stricto (Iguana, Dipsosaurus, Sauromalus, etc.) also as a family within Iguania.
