Michael Foot

Biography of our Harold. 'Gushing' to me implies something OTT, revealing something more about the author than the person being praised (ie given forth without control). 'Fulsome' means what it says - a full praise (ie everything that can reasonably be said in favour is.). One suggests a full but balanced response the other (gushing) suggests overdoing it. So no, I don't agree with you. Sorry Bob aka Linuxlad 20:55, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Look up fulsome in the dictionary: Chambers has it as "sickeningly obsequioius; nauseatingly affectionate, admiring or praiseful . . .". Not what you think.

It does indeed (and S_OED similarly) - well, well I wonder what language I've been speaking the last 56 years :-)

Oliver Cromwell

The OC article is presently written from a very pro-Royalist perspective - anything you feel up to rescuing?? Linuxlad 08:34, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

George Orwell

Hi. I did the 'blanket' revert, except it wasn't intended to be 'blanket' & I tried to keep some of your edits to the vandalised version, although someone then made further factual additions and there was a conflict. The reason for moving the clause "In Homage to Catalonia" to the start of the sentence near the "describes" is because it reads better without the "when he arrived in". I guess my limited knowledge is coloured by Land and Freeom, so the original version seemed good. It seems the suppression of POUM started in May, but Orwell saw the results in June, so that sentence remains slightly ambiguous. Anyway, I know it's unreasonable to ask editors to check whether the version of the page they're editing has recently been vandalised, but it's something to keep an eye out for if possible. Sorry for any confusion. --Cedders^tk 10:43, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tribune image

As Tribune (magazine) lacks any images, I thought the 1941 flyer on your blog [1] would make an interesting addition. What do you think? I could do the mechanins of uploading if you don't want to do that. As the copyright from 1941 has expired, no difficulties there. Rwendland 13:11, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Use the image if you want: I can get better ones, though...Paulanderson 16:43, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the flyer. I guess a good front-page from the newspaper and magazine would be useful. I've subscribed for years, but don't recall ever seeing an early Tribune frontpage. Rwendland 19:07, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
