Brendan, you and I edited social class at the same time, and I think I may have accidentally discarded some of your valuable changes to that article. I will wait at least one hour before editing it again, to give you time to undo my "damage". --Uncle Ed 15:51, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I don't think any damage was done. (Does the Wiki not protect against this?) Your changes are generally very good -- this article needs a good spring-cleaning! BrendanH 16:23, Apr 7, 2004 (UTC)

Max Weber

I am adding info on Max Weber works, as well as trying to compile complete list of his books - as I see you are familiar with him, I'd appreciate your input on this.

I will be putting ol' Max on Featured candidate soon, after 2 peer reviews I think he is ready for big time. I'd appreciate any last checks you could give the article. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 00:58, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hmm, I'll take your word on it - I don't have time to reread this article. So if you are sure you are right, then that's good :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 17:26, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Egerton MS

There is a copy in the British Museum. SilkTork 07:46, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah - I see what you are talking about now - the reference in the Guinness article. Yes, if I remember, someone had stated in that article that stout was first used in relation to Guinness, and I made the correction using the Egerton MS as my source. Such a statement need not stay in the article as the article is about Guinness rather than stout. I haven't read through the article to see how correct the rest of it is, but that statement in the foreground of the article did stand out somewhat so obviously needed amendment. While a decent enough argument from available research could be put forward that the Guinness style of stout is indeed a unique Guinness development and other such dry 4.4% stouts are based on the Guinness style, it would be misleading to give anyone the impression that Guinness was the originator of stout or porter, or that Guinness is the only type of stout that is or has been made. Sorry, a long answer to a short question! Um. I don't know about online sources, but there are several books which do make reference to the history of stout and porter. Try a search on Amazon for stout - I just did and the first that came up Stout (Classic Beer Style Series: 10) is very good and does give a long history of the development of stout.

Well, bless me. I was just browing on Amazon and found this: Egerton MS reference SilkTork 16:20, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Nice one. Go for it. I will be getting around to looking at stout at some point, but I doubt if that will be anytime soon. I have an article on the history and development of India Pale Ale promised for elsewhere to finish first. And I will, of course, be feeding the research for that into the Wiki IPA article eventually. SilkTork 16:45, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comments on Self-Fulfilling Prophecies

Hey there. Noticed that you made some comments previously on Talk:Self-fulfilling prophecy. Was wondering if you might drop into there again and give your view on the definition of what it should be. Seems that we have a loggerheads with myself and User:Ritchy and it would be good to get another opinion. Thanks Enigmatical 02:41, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
