Talk:Evelyn Ruggles-Brise

message: The August 2012 edition of the 'The Journal of the Whitechapel Society' carries an article by Thomas Toughill which reveals that Basil Thomson, a life long friend of Ruggles Brise, attended New College, Oxford at the same time as Montague John Druitt, the man named as the prime suspect in the Jack the Ripper case by Chief Constable Melville Macnaghten in a report for the Home Office in 1894. The significance of this is that Basil Thomson succeeded Melville Macnaghten as Head of CID at Scotland Yard in 1913.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Erdbeben (talk • contribs) 16:18, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Lindy Delapenha

message: I'm afraid the sources cited are wrong. Delapenha's First Division debut was by no means the first of a non-white player:
*Arthur Wharton played in goal in a First Division game for Sheffield United against Sunderland during 1894-95 
*Walter Tull played in Tottenham Hotspur's very first top-flight campaign in 1909-10, making him the first black outfield player 
Eddie Parris, Jack Leslie and Frank Soo were other notable non-white players in England before Delapenha. Although he was definitely one of a select few, he was not the first. Qwghlm 13:11, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for bringing that up! As you pointed out I was using the sources that I referenced, and they were top results on Google. However, since you've provided evidence to the contrary (provided those sources themselves are accurate) it means the article definately needs rewording. Maybe the sources intended to refer to first player of Black Caribbean origin, as opposed to Black African, a distinction made at least by the UK Office of National Statistics , but this is certainly not clear. The first Jamaican might be accurate, but I've no other sources to back that up other than those two.--Simmo676 13:32, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Tull was of Barbadian origin so I don't think Delapenha can claim being the first Black Caribbean player either. The Football Unites, Racism Divides site is fairly reliable though, and I will take their claim he was the first Jamaican to be a reliable citation. I've corrected the article now - thanks for being so prompt in replying. Qwghlm 14:42, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Here's a para from the original IP edit in 2005: 
This can be seen from the definitions of these concepts. A concept by intuition is one which denotes, and the complete mean¬ing of which is given by, something which is immediately appre¬hended. Northrop gives blue in "the sense of the sensed color" as an example of a concept by intuition. The other kind is concepts by postulation. A con¬cept by postulation is one the meaning of which in whole or in part is designated by the postulates of the deduc¬tive theory in which it oc¬curs.
The '¬' characters have the appearance of a hyphen garbled by copy-paste, so I Googled some phrases and wound up here: 
* Dictionary of Modern American Philosophers — 2005
I immediately recognized "as silly as" there as also appearing here.

message: The article is silent on Winterbotham's life after the war, except for his books. He was only 48 when the war ended and you might imagine that he continued working for MI6, but the Guardian obituary on 1 February 1990 quotes Air Marshal Sir John Slessor's foreword to The Ultra Secret in 1974: 'It is a curious reflection on our system of honours and awards that he should have finished up after the war as a retired Group Captain with a CBE on a quiet farm in Devon.' https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-guardian/36750765/ He must have had permission at the highest level to publish The Ultra Secret, which dramatically altered the historiography and public understanding of the Second World War, but there doesn't seem to be any known paper trail regarding that.

Talk:Faith Domergue

message: The book quoted in reference #4 was never published per her obituary.  In 1972, a New York publisher announced that he would issue a book by Domergue called My Life with Howard Hughes, stating in Variety that "this will be the first time one of his ladies really talked about the intimate relationship she had". The book never appeared, and Domergue said two years ago:
I don't talk much about Howard Hughes. I think it quite sad that it's the negative side of someone's life that is so interesting to the public and not the fact that he was one of the great contributors to aeronautics in this country since the beginning of the century. All my memories of Howard are good ones.

Talk:J. D. Chesswas

message: Chesswas wrote two books that were seminal to the orthography of the Luganda language.
This information is contained in the article. It is very difficult to find publications online which refer to Chesswas' work; there is buganda.com: http://www.buganda.com/luganda.htm. I don't know of any books which do - because Chesswas' book is one of the few that address the topic, being a linguistic pioneer himself. However, if you search Luganda Chesswas you will find his books in plenty of reference lists.
The Luganda language article references Chesswas.
It is difficult to thoroughly document this sort of thing when you're dealing with such an undeveloped people group. But this is a language spoken by 3 million people, second only to English in Uganda. That should be enough to indicate the significance of orthography for such a language.A.J.Chesswas 11:24, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
