Talk:David Pitt, Baron Pitt of Hampstead

message: The article states Dr. Pitt established a medical practice in "the Euston area" in 1947. In 1975, 28 years later, as a 16 year old runaway from Ireland, I attended Dr. Pitt's surgery. Within a week he had me booked in to the University College Hospital nearby, where a previously identified hernia was treated, as well as the need of a mastoidectomy that had gone unidentified in Ireland.
When Dr. Pitt was being elevated to the Lords, he was treating runaway Irish kids.
Dr. Pitt's surgery was in North Gower street, for those who want to research the fact.
I wish this article better reflected the man's humanity; what made him truely a great man. MarkDask 22:46, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Dr. David Pitt's legacy

message: While I suspect the description comes from the source, I think saying that Clapham was "seen as a safe seat for Labour" is problematic. Usually a safe seat would be one which a party had held for several elections and by a large majority. However while Labour had won in the previous two elections the Conservatives had won it in 1959 when they had last formed a majority government and in 1955 it had been a very narrow Labour win. Even in 1964 the Labour majority had been small. On top of this the Conservatives had done well in the area in the 1967 GLC elections. Also in 1970 the Conservatives won seats which had been Labour since 1945 (though failed to win back some seats which had been Conservative up to 1964). That said, it is fair to say that the swing against Dr Pitt and the size of the Conservative majority was surprisingly large and sadly this was almost certainly partly due to racial prejudice. However the seat was one the Conservatives would have seen as a viable target however the Labour candidate was. Dunarc (talk) 23:54, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Wilmot Redd

message: Two things: the quote about what the neighbors thought was never stated by any such neighbors, nor does the author of the quote say so. It is merely speculation by the author of the book on how the neighbors perceived the threat posed by Wilmot Redd. Also, Salem Village is a historical place which is no longer in existence and the article redirects to Danvers, Massachusetts: wikilinking isn't very helpful.
Also, most of the other changes were stylistic preferences. It's generally correct to use the full name in the first reference in a paragraph, and just the surname in later references. This, however, isn't a rule set in stone. I would say that all of the wording used is correct grammar, but it's not necessarily everyone's preference. --Keitei (talk) 22:46, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with some of your points and disagree with others. Regarding your first paragraph: I agree; points taken. Paragraph two: phrases separated with a comma should have some commonality. "Wife of fisherman Samuel Redd" doesn't have anything to do with "she was known for her irritability." Also, her having been "Born in Marblehead, Massachusetts," does not lead to "she was hanged on September 22, 1692." I reworded these sentences so they make more sense. Also, Wikipedia generally does not use titles like "Mrs.", and it's redundent to spell out her full name more than once or twice, if there's no chance of confusion. Cheers, Fang Aili talk 23:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm, alright. The "wife of..." I was using as an appositive (mostly because a million billion sentences beginning with "she" drive me up a wall). If it's confusing, sure, that can be changed. Birth and death seemed to be related in my mind, beginnings and endings. As for the "Mrs.", sure, I think I just didn't change it when I was editing the oldid. --Keitei (talk) 01:29, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Jan Stráský

message: Václav Havel resigned at 20th July 1992. As far as I know, in cases like that Czech (and in that time Czechoslovakian law) states that some competences of president goes to the prime minister. However, Czechoslovakian law doesn't support anything like post of "acting presidency". So even tho Stráský had technicaly competences of president, he wasn't one, he was still "just" prime minister.

Talk:David Urquhart

message: i know less than nothing about David Urquhart, Circassia, Adygea, (or Vexillology for that matter,) but this image 
that appears in the David_Urquhart#Role_in_Greece_and_Turkey part of the article seems to be a different colour green than the flag in the Circassia article. the image displayed in this article is the same as the Flag of Adygea which was adopted in 1992. 
from my basic interpretation it looks like maybe the older flag for historical country of Circassia was the darker green. Circassia covered parts of 6 modern federal subjects. modern day Adygea adopted a similar flag to the historical one for the region it once was part of, and the shade of green was changed. 
so should the image in this article be the darker green?

message: Hello all... 
An image used in the article, specifically :Image:Alnc sign.jpg, has a little bit of a licensing issue.  The image was uploaded back when the rules around image uploading were less restrictive.  It is presumed that the uploader was willing to license the picture under the GFDL license but was not clear in that regard.  As such, the image, while not at risk of deletion, is likely not clearly licensed to allow for free use in any future use of this article.

Talk:Jânio Quadros

message: I edited the dates that Jânio Quadros was mayor of São Paulo from 1953–1954 to 1953–1955 based on information from the city of São Paulo’s website (http://ww1.prefeitura.sp.gov.br/portal/a_cidade/organogramas/index.php?p=574). Someone () reverted my edit—no big deal… I am just a bit confused now.
According to the city’s website, however, Jânio was both the 30th and the 32nd mayor—with a short period of José Porfírio da Paz as mayor in the middle (#31). These dates are reflected in the Infobox on the side of the page, just not in the Succession box on the bottom, where I had edited—or, indeed, in the Template:Mayors of São Paulo which appears on this and many other articles.
For now, I will leave this page alone, but I would like to know what others think about the issue. There are many instances of short-term mayorships during the 20th century in São Paulo. It is definitely confusing and it warrants clarifying.
To start, I think it would be good to re-order the three mayoral terms listed in the Infobox, so that they are in chronological order from top to bottom. Since my edits have been reverted once, I don’t want it to appear that I am vandalizing or that I am not paying attention to what I’m donig. Ideally, I think the Template:Mayors of São Paulo should be updated to include the correct “flow” (vai e vem)… complex as it is. I am happy to make the necessary changes, if no one has any objections.

message: The list of Janio's political affiliations has incorrect data.  Jânio Quadros was expelled from the Christian Democratic Party in 1954 and joined the National Labour Party in the same year to run for governor of São Paulo, and remained a member until the party's dissolution in 1965. In 1986 he joined the Liberal Front Party and he left the party in 1989. He was also affiliated with the Brazilian Democratic Movement during the military dictatorship and with the National Democratic Union between 1945 and 1947.

At one point it mentions them being used in one specific region in Africa, when from the rest of the article it sounds like they were probably used just about anywhere with a certain level of societal complexity, with nothing else mentioned in the article about anywhere else in Africa, and all it says about what they did in that region is a general restatement of town criers purpose in general that would apply equally everywhere that had them.
