Talk:Alfred Roberts

message: Punch in 1997 did publish allegations against Roberts, but there seems to be a desire to treat these as fact.  Punch was owned by Mohammed Al Fayed who at the time was on a bit of an anti-Conservative kick and unlike the Punch that had ceased publication in 1992 was deliberately positioning itself between Private Eye and Scallywag.  I also think that this dubiously sourced piece - which would certainly have failed any BLP test if that had been applicable, needs to be seen in the light which it was published and not treated as if it were reporting on a court case.

Talk:Algernon Percy, 6th Duke of Northumberland

message: In Wikipedia it states that Algernon George Percy employed the famous Anthony Salvin to considerably change the interior to a neo-gothic design. The 1st Duke (nee Hugh Smithson) and Elizabeth Percy, employed Robert Adams to change the castle into a neo-gothic style home from what was then a castle in ruins in the 1750s. The 4th Duke restyled it again in the 1850s to look like a neo-Classic Italian Renaissance palace. Salvin had designs on both the inside and outside of the castle in a more neo-gothic style as the 1st Duchess Elizabeth had previously done, which preserved the earlier Robert Adams work. However, the Duke instead employed italian designers/craftsmen to do the interior work. Most of Adams earlier work was dismantled/destroyed/covered over. They set up the Alnwick School of Carving in the castle. Over 20 carpenters were taken from the Clyde and Tyne shipbuilders to train. Their work can still be seen today in the castle State Rooms which has changed little from that period to the present. Salvin's outside structural changes were completed and his kitchen can still be seen today and is used as a refectory by St. Cloud's University, Minnesota, who study at the castle. Other staff and family accomodation was completed at the time. A new large stable was build and the 1750s one changed it's use.  Salvin was not happy that his internal designs were not used, saying the Italian influence was not appropriate for a gothic castle and Robert Adams work should have remained intact. Anthony Salvin was getting elderly when the 6th Duke inherited the castle from his father, the 5th Duke, who only held the title for about 2 years as a gentleman in his very late 80's. I am not sure what the 6th duke had changed by Anthony Salvin (who would be getting elderly by then) as the large State Rooms have altered so little from the 1850s/60s unless it's some of the office/working rooms and staff and private room accomodations. It would be useful to find out. 2A00:23C8:471D:F001:E107:D623:B83D:3165 (talk) 11:55, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

* You admit that France has annexed territories from Morocco to Algeria (the Algerians admit it and don't deny it, but they hide behind "the intangibility of the frontiers inherited from Colonializm"), but you refuse the correct terminolgy in the article and insist on "that he viewed as ...".

message: It's well-documented that there are sexually dimorphic brain areas. It's also well-documented that the brains of trans individuals, as they transition, change i.e. a trans woman's brain becomes more similar to that of a cis woman's. This section says that the putamen of trans women is different than that of a typical biological male. This is neither interesting nor novel, and therefore doesn't need to be here at all. 
Even the next sentence "this possibly suggests that a fundamental difference in brain composition may or may not exist between trans women and biological men" is a useless read. It not only suggests nothing, but it also contradicts the sentence right before it.

" the evidence suggests that the crisis took the course it did because Izvolsky lied in the most extravagant fashion in order to save his job and reputation. The Russian foreign minister had made two serious errors of judgement [firstly] that London would support his demand for the opening of the Turkish Straits to Russian warships - [and] he grossly underestimated the impact of the annexation on Russian nationalist opinion - [when] - he got wind of the press response in St Petersburg, he realized his error, panicked, and began to construct himself as Aehrenthal's dupe."  The years following the annexation crisis, in an atmosphere of increased 'chauvinist popular emotion', and with a sense of humiliation in a sphere of vital interest,  now saw the Russians launch a programme of military investment 'so substantial that it triggered a European arms race.' -
The lead  looks very biased against this Austrian  man  - maybe the historians views are changing -  I think the article maybe needs looking at and certainly the  'he engineered the Bosnian crisis' needs looking at - it was agreed between Russia and Austia by the sound of it - albeit in  hugger-mugger kinds of way which is unfortunate but those were the 'tools of old diplomacy' Sayerslle (talk) 01:03, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
