Talk:Alexander Protopopov

message: The article says that Protopopov was born in 1866; however, in Massie's biography of the Romanovs Nicholas and Alexandra he mentions that when Protopopov was appointed Minister of Interior in 1916 he was 64, which would mean he was born in 1851 or 1852 (depending on the particular month and day on which he was born).  I realize that this book is a biography of the Romanov family and not of Protopopov; nonetheless, I have no reason to doubt the veracity of Massie's statement.  Do we have a reference for the date of birth as given in the article?  Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 16:17, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Shane Stone

message: The recent edits to this article that considerably increase the size of the second paragraph have several problems. It is largely unsourced. It needs wikifying. It contains many peacock words - "crushing land slide", "high water mark", etc. It contains errors. For example that election was not the "high water mark" as the CLP won 19 out of 25 in 1980 and in the first election afer self-government the ALP won no seats. However the greatest concern is that it reads like a direct copy from somewhere and thus may be a copyright violation. For that reason, I am not fixing it, as leaving it as it is will help to find any such copy. Please help to check this. --Bduke  (Discussion) 23:44, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Alexander Twilight

message: The claim that Alexander Twilight is the first "black person" to have graduated in America is unprovable. We don't have evidence that there were not previous people of that ethnic description who graduated. Similarly, it's thrown into doubt by the statement that his mother was 'white'. To what extent is he described as 'black'. I have changed the sentence to say that he is the first "black person" known to have graduated an American college, but think we if we really want to make a point about race we should be accurate about it, and ought to find another word that best describes that group of people which includes both full-blooded negroes and half-castes and put that in the article.

In the Roger Waters song "Perfect Sense, Part I" mentioned in the article, Ms. Arnold actually sings the lead, but only for the second half of the song.  Mr. Waters sings the first half, then she takes over.  I dunno if it's worth specifying this.  
There's that, and then the double bridge of "Mother" on the "In the Flesh Live" CD/DVD . . . and then, the Dark Side of the Moon Live concerts featured both those songs, plus "The Great Gig in the Sky".  All would be examples of lead singing.

Well, yes, it has flair, but yes, it is POV and not consistently encyclopedic in tone. Wikipedia is not the place for personal essays.

You really, really shouldn't be adding this information to articles if you're not doing so much as a Google search first: in this case you added and are getting angry at the removal of information that was, according to about fifty articles in the mainstream press this week, definitively and demonstrably wrong. As I understand, the story was that he was originally a member of the left, but switched to the right in the deal that saw him originally promoted to Cabinet in January 2013, but claiming that he's still a member of the left is just flagrantly wrong and makes us look silly.
