Talk:James Gordon (British Army officer, died 1783)

Wishing to resolve the issue of whether or not the James Gordon article should have a link included to a photograph of the memorial created in his mother's honour, commissioned by his brother, Andrew Gordon. I would suggest: "In 1792, Gordon's younger brother, Andrew, erected a memorial to their mother, which reads: "M^rs Elizabeth Glen widow of James Gordon, Esq^r of Ellon, died 7^th March MDCCXCII, aged 80 years. To the memory of a beloved parent this monument of filial piety is erected by Lieu^t Gen^l Andrew Gordon".

James Gordon died in America at the end of the Revolution, predeceasing his mother by two decades. Anne (talk) 10:44, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Taylor Swift

Hi!

In a 2019 interview [1] (it happens at 2:01) Taylor Swift stated "Starting November 2020 I can re-record albums one through five all over again" in reference to her masters controversy. User:Ippantekina and User:Binksternet both feel this is not an adequate source to add the recording date of "November 2020–" to the re-recorded songs.

User:Ippantekina disagrees because she does not explicitly mention Fearless or Red [2], [3]. I disagree with this disagreement because she mentions her first five albums, which Fearless and Red fall under.

Despite User:Binksternet agreeing with me that she did not re-record these songs before November 2020 [4], they feel this is an example of WP:SYNTH because Taylor does not explicitly state every song in question. I believe this is an example of WP:NOTJUSTANYSYNTH because saying "album" is enough to imply the songs on the album.

Please watch the interview for yourself and come to your own conclusion on whether or not the songs' infoboxes should reflect having not been recorded prior to November 2020.

Thank you for taking the time. Tree Critter (talk) 22:26, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
