Pie contest
The article currently contains the following sentence: "He was ordained deacon on 18 December 1856 and priest on 4 January 1857 after winning a pie eating contest." The part about the pie eating contest must have been added as a joke, right? If there's actually a connection between his priesthood and a pie eating contest (which I have not been able to uncover though Google searches), the connection warrants an explanation, for clarity and for the interest of the reader. Would someone please double-check this? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.59.27.249 (talk) 21:28, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Surname
The National Library and the Australian Dictionary of Biography both seem satisfied that his surname was the hyphenated Tenison-Woods. Any objections to my moving it to Julian Tenison-Woods (currently a redirect)? --  Jack of Oz   [Talk]  04:42, 15 June 2013 (UTC)


 * OK, no comments so I've moved the page. --   Jack of Oz   [Talk]  01:09, 23 June 2013 (UTC)


 * A somewhat late reply, but I dissent. Not one contemporary newspaper reference (and there's thousands) grants him hyphen. There's no hyphen on his headstone or his personal signature. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/45666793/julian-tension-woods. So though now common, it's clearly a retrospective decoration.

Removal of "Islamic Catholic" prank
Some joker had changed Roman Catholic to Islamic Catholic. Interesting mix, but.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.209.161.117 (talk) 22:02, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Help with a title-less newspaper article?
I'm not sure this is the right place to ask, but maybe someone can point me to the right place. One of the references is to the New Zealand Tablet newspaper. It is very 19th century in that it doesn't have headlines for news articles, just paragraph breaks between stories. Is there a way to format the citation to make it clear that the news article title isn't missing, but that it doesn't exist? Drechmeria-RBGV (talk) 09:41, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
