[edit] Davitt and Scottish Highlanders

I read somewhere that Michael Davitt was sympathetic towards the Highlanders demand for land reform and that he actually visited the Highlands as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elitejcx (talk • contribs) 22:56, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Where does Wikipedia stand with regard to offering opinions about books referred to in the main article?

I just completed a biography of Michael Davitt, and the prison years in Dartmoor seem extremely brutal. Reminded me a good deal of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.

But this seems very subjective and I don't know whether it can be added to the article itself.

Can anyone provide an opinion on this? Bernfarr 09:49, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't see a problem. Go for it.

How did Davit get a ticket of leave, If he was already in england, does this mean he was deported?58.105.8.145 14:04, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

_ _ The general inchoate state of this article can be seen by its having gotten the lk Irish [sic] only in the last 1% of its history, and in that typo being fixed by someone reading it only bcz Davitt's LoPbN entry had no useful info beyond his name, dates, & a (misplaced) lk to Land League.
_ _ In particular, the relevant substance of the "Notes" section should be retained as at most a lk somewhere in this article to Land War or Land war or Irish land war, which should in turn have a lk to Boycott, which in turn needs a lk to Land War and may or not need the contents of "Notes" folded in or pilfered from. I assume material not directly relevant to him may be moved to make Land War more than a bare stub, but someone with more background (and interest) than i should do that job. (I'm afraid i would leave a mess if i did much beyond pulling the fire alarm on that, and i hope someone will obviate my returning to probably do just a dump job with its contents.)
_ _ As is almost always the case (and here surely so, outside as well as within, the section that i just went over once with a stiff brush), the elimination of passive voice will be a valuable step, probably serving as occasion of some research on the Who (beyond Davitt) of this article.
_ _ It hurt me to say some of the vague things i did in Michael Davitt#Fenians, but i comfort myself that my edit is nevertheless an improvement on the article: it left all non-specialists as uncertain as i was, but with a better sense of the chronology, and less of their remaining ignorance concealed from them by the confusion the defective timeline imposed on the reader who fails to consciously attempt a reconstruction of that chronology.
