Talk:William Ralph Inge

Trivia

Removed this: The staff of the Brown University Library ([1]) withdrew two of W. R. Inge's books in November 2002:

• The philosophy of Plotinus; the Gifford lectures at St. Andrews, 1917-1918, by William Ralph Inge, volume 1, published by Longmans, Green and Co., 1929, 1 copy.
• The philosophy of Plotinus; the Gifford lectures at St. Andrews, 1917-1918, by William Ralph Inge, volume 2, published by Longmans, Green and Co., 1929, 1 copy.

See [2]. I cannot see why this belongs in an encyclopedia. 172.192.61.217 06:16, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Rephrase

I have rephrased the statement "He had retired from the Church in 1934" to "He had retired from full-time Church ministry in 1934". The original sentence was potentially confusing, likely to imply he had resigned his Holy Orders (he remained listed in Crockford's lifelong), and is not in general use. It is possible for clergy retired from full-time ministry to be permitted to officiate in the Church of England in later life.Cloptonson (talk) 06:50, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Very Rev, Dr, William Ralph Inges

I think this was a very remarkable human being, and I really wonder what he would think of the World today. I totally agree with most of his ideas and statements. I have only just come across this amazing person, who would never be afraid of speaking his mind. WillieTpimp (talk) 20:42, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

William Inge (priest, born 1860) → William Ralph Inge – The most commonly occurring form of the name (compare Google hits for ["William Inge" "St Paul's"] (25.3k), ["W R Inge" "St Paul's"] (22.5k) ["William Ralph Inge" "St Paul's"] (39.4k). Given the hits for "Ralph Inge" (excluding "William") and "W. Ralph Inge", his primary given name was probably "Ralph", but he seems to have been widely known by both names.

• Support per nomination. "William Ralph Inge" was subject's pen name which appeared on all his writings. This entry was created in January 2004 under the main title header "William Ralph Inge" and remained as such until September 2011 when it was unilaterally moved to "William Inge (priest)". The further addition, "born 1860", was made a week ago. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:44, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Source issue for Austen, Timothy (n.d.)

There is a source given called "Austen, Timothy (n.d.), "William Ralph Inge", The Gifford Lectures" which is linked to [6], however there is nothing on the end of that link. Inge himself gave Gifford Lectures in 1917-1919, but I don't think that's the purpose of his link. I found a page on a completely different website written by a Timothy Austen about Inge [7]. Is that the right link? I'm confused. Seaweed (talk) 18:59, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
