Talk:Horatio Bottomley

I have restored the Noel Coward section. This is not a hoax. The user who deleted it has made over 250 edits in the last 6 days on every subject under the sun. I do not believe for one second that he has suddenly taken time out to read Brockett & Franklin's "History of the Theatre". I do not know what motivated him to make such an unwarrented intervention.

• Just to further the point, the following web links confirm that presence of Noel Coward and Henderson Forsythe at the Theatre Royal at the relevant times: http://www.londontown.com/LondonInformation/Entertainment/My_Fair_Lady_-_Theatre_Royal_Drury_Lane/68c9/ & http://www.filmreference.com/film/28/Henderson-Forsythe.html Evelyn Jones 13:25, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

For the record: An examination of the Brockett book by User: Tim riley reveals that it contains no reference whatever to Bottomley or a lost wallet. This entry was indeed a hoax, which has survived for seven years but has now been permanently removed from the article. Brianboulton (talk) 08:54, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Just to confirm: I did indeed check as described above. Glad this hoax has finally been nailed. Tim riley talk 19:40, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

I think involvement should be used instead of intervention.... Evelyn Jones Eddieysclusive (talk) 22:03, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

H. Osborne O'Hagan's "Leaves of My Life" contains a lengthy (in the context of those volumes, anyway) and interesting chapter on Bottomley; an editor interested in augmenting this article would do well to consult it. 96.244.70.173 (talk) 13:17, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Well done

I'm writing on Bottomley's involvement in some Australian mining frauds and came here looking for background. I found this an excellent and very helpful article, one of the best I've seen on Wikipedia. Congratulations to writers and editors. Peter Bell (talk) 09:32, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Capitalisation of "parliament"

Although some style guides suggest otherwise, the word "parliament" is generally not capitalised unless it forms part of a construction such as "Member of Parliament", "Houses of Parliament" etc. Personal preferences can differ, but I think we should stick to the format in which the article was promoted to FA.
