Talk:John Stainer

Sullivan's "genius" quote
If you look at this Google Books link followed by this one, you'll find the sentence with the quotation of what Alcock said that Sullivan said after hearing Stainer improvise, on page 79 of "John Stainer and the musical life of Victorian Britain". Hope this helps. BencherliteTalk 12:35, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Bencherlite-- I tried getting to it through snippet view, but couldn't see the whole thing. Oddly, your views aren't bringing up the whole thing for me either--maybe because I'm outside of the UK? Anyway, I'd say you should feel free to restore if you can see it well enough to be confident about it. Cheers, -- Khazar2 (talk) 12:51, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I can only get it through snippet view too, which is why I needed to give two links for different parts of the sentence! BencherliteTalk 12:54, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you both. I have added back the quote to the article and referenced the page concerned with the url of one of the snippets. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:03, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Irrelevant Illustration
I propose for deletion the picture of the interior of St Paul's Cathedral. As can be read in the pic's file, the artists both died before Stainer's lifetime (pre-1840) so not chronologically relevant to it.Cloptonson (talk) 08:50, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree with what you say and don't object to it being removed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:45, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Former British Empire - Inappropriate; Unnecessary
I have altered the relevant short section to linked "Anglican Communion". Because a) the latter is factually correct b) it avoids hurting sensitivities about Anglicans really being Protestant (we are certainly not Lutherans) and also what does "Former British Empire" mean? e.g. Crucifixion is regularly performed in Canada, USA and Hong Kong inter alia. Hope others will be understanding about this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cylicodiscus (talk • contribs) 20:13, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
