Talk:Noel Pharazyn

The revert
Hi Schwede. "Noel Pharazyn married Lydia Field on 26 November 1919 at St Paul's in Wellington. This was reported in the media as a 'society wedding'.[3] Being from a well-established family himself, his wife came from a family of Members of Parliament; her uncle Henry Augustus Field had represented the Otaki electorate from 1896 until his death three years later, and her father succeeded him and represented the electorate until 1935 with a three-year break. Another of her relatives, Thomas Field, represented the Nelson electorate for some years.[4]"

What does this add to our knowledge of this man? It reads as if written with considerable naivety, an editor groping to express something they find indefinable but they know it must be there. Eddaido (talk) 04:54, 20 February 2016 (UTC)


 * We learn from that that they had a high standing in society, and that both the groom's and the bride's families had political influence. What part of that is irrelevant (or even dodgy) in a political biography?  Schwede 66  05:39, 20 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Umm I've just learnt who wrote it. So it could pared down to: "they had a high standing in society, and that both the groom's and the bride's families had political influence" and then the problem is it must have references? Is that right? (if so I'll work on the refs) regards, Eddaido (talk) 05:55, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
