[edit] Controversial vs. Racially Charged

Please see the comment I posted on Geraldine Ferraro's discussion page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cubguy83 (talk • contribs) 13:30, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tom Wolfe

Sourced the "Radical Chic"/Wolfe reference in The Hulk. Mthwaite (talk) 03:35, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

wikimancer -- didn't think it a challenge at all: I've just always felt, as a politeness sort of thing, that if someone requests sourcing and you provide it, it's nice to offer a tip of the hat. Mthwaite (talk) 04:30, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Max Mosley

Hi. You added a mention of Oswald and Diana's wedding at Goebbel's house to the Max Mosley article. I've previously left it out on the basis that it's not directly relevant to Max. Would you mind commenting at the talk page on whether it's really needed in this article, and if so, whether that's the most appropriate place for it. Thanks. 4u1e (talk) 07:49, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

No trouble! Thanks for getting involved. I think my unease is actually more caused by a sense that there's something else (and more important) missing from that part of the article than by feeling strongly that the wedding shouldn't be mentioned. 4u1e (talk) 09:12, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pheasant no peasant

  • It is actually "pheasant under glass"[1]--00:49, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Incredulously" (on my user page)

I can't believe I said that! I can't believe my father let me get away with that!

Actually, you are one of "those people" which puts you in some very good company. My father was a language professor. He died in 1976 but I can still hear him correcting my English. If you're credulous enough, I'll tell you that I was jokingly referring to my own incredulousness. John Harvey (talk) 13:05, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mohan Munasinghe and the Nobel Peace Prize 2007

You said "I made an honest effort to find a reliable source for his inclusion and couldn't find any; if you want to add a fact, you need to find one for it"

Did you do a google search?

Next time, do a better search. Just because Al Gore happens to be better known, it doesn't mean that the co-winner should be ignored.
