Talk:Ian McLachlan

message: I have removed the word "unwittingly" on McLachlan costing Costello his final opportunity in becoming Prime Minister.
Not long before McLachlan revealed the deal, Piers Akerman in one of his columns in the Sydney Sunday Telegraph indicated that Howard would handover the Prime Ministership to Costello just before Christmas 2006. This article from Akerman was picked up by the rest of the media and there is no way that McLachlan was unaware of what Akerman had written on leadership succession.
Therefore "unwittingly" is not the right word to use on him revealing the deal as it was really an act of recklessness on McLachlan's part. 
Howard himself confirmed that he had intended to handover the leadership to Costello prior to Christmas 2006 in the Howard Years documentary.
Therefore if McLachlan had wanted Costello to become Prime Minister and in light of what Akerman had said about when Howard might retire, McLachlan instead should have waited to reveal the deal until after December 2006 and I am speaking as someone who knows how opportunities can be lost due to what one person has said on the subject at hand. 220.239.167.151 (talk) 22:34, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: New Supreme Court Nomination

message: Should there be some mention of non-U.S. uses of the phrase "advise and consent"? On http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enacting_formula, I see that the phrase has been used as part of the enacting formula for legislation in the U.K. and other countries that nominally follow the U.K.' queen. I also notice that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_and_Bar_Council mentions a defunct Phillipine process that sounds like "advice and consent" (and is characterized as such in one of the "Did you know?" questions on today's Wikipedia front page). I'm guessing that some constitutions that follow the U.S. model--and perhaps some others proceeding from different angles--also have advice and consent in nomination processes, but I'm not sure.Hickoryhillster 14:11, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Ian Shelton

message: I am removing the tag questioning the notability of Dr Shelton. In response to the edit summary of Feb.6 asking "Discovering a supernova makes one notable?", I would answer that Ian Shelton did not discover just "a supernova" of which several are observed by telescope each year; he discovered and identified the first supernova visible with the naked eye since Kepler's supernova since 1604. I can remember reading books questioning if there would be ever another visible supernova, and if Kepler (and Tycho Brahe) had perhaps made some mistake. It was Ian Shelton who disproved that idea.
It is true that the article is too short and lacks information. However since Feb.6, the text has grown from 2 lines to 13 lines, plus two external links as secondary sources. Dirac66 (talk) 03:10, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

The fall of Dragonstone is certainly an important event and I'd like to think that the deaths of the Old Bull and the Sword of the Morning are, too. That encounter in the mountains of Dorne certainly had a great impact on Eddard. And if Lyanna had lived, who knows what the Seven Kingdoms would be like?  
Certainly, so long as Dragonstone held out, Targaryen loyalists on the mainland would have had more concrete hopes of a restoration. As for the other, it seemed to have been such a battle as the minstrels of any age would've loved, though it seems that Eddard never said much about it. --128.61.52.60 04:08, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

message: "Creation began with “fleshing”, or the removal of the hide from animals..."
The article refers to "fleshing" as the act of removing a hide from a carcass.  This is incorrect.  Fleshing is the process of removing subcutaneous fat and bits of muscle and other tissue from the inside of a hide that has already been removed.  This page gives more detail than you could possibly want in this context.  I'd suggest adding link to the article on fleshing in the context of animal hide processing, but there doesn't seem to be one.  The article on Rawhide (material) describes the process but does not name it.  I don't have the time or attention enough to dig into a proper fix for the article at this time, but I hope that this comment can act as a signpost for someone who does.  The simplest fix may be just to remove the reference to the word "fleshing" or replace it with "cleaning and dressing".
The use of the scare quotes around the word "fleshing" also seems odd.  I haven't seen the usage around other technical terms on Wikipedia.  I assume that there are stylistic guidelines for that.  --198.147.1.9 (talk) 01:29, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
