Talk:Robert Borden

Untitled
I downgraded this article from B class to C class. The article is grossly incomplete: Anything that ever happened between 1896 and 1920 is completely missing. --Voyager (talk) 17:11, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Relationship between Sir Robert Borden and Jean Borden
How is Jean Borden and her son, Robert Borden supposed to be descended from Sir Robert, when Sir Robert and Lady Borden were childless? - (203.211.71.108 (talk) 10:03, 18 December 2008 (UTC))

Would someone really confuse him with Frederick Borden or is that just a way of saying they were cousins? --JGGardiner (talk) 10:29, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Sources?
Is it really so hard to find sources for this stuff? I added a according to whom to a weaselly looking statement and a refimprove to the beginning, but maybe I should also tag those sections that have no sources at all. If nobody adds sources I may cite my history textbook, provided I can find out its English title. Cathfolant (talk) 20:08, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

CFB Borden
I removed a reference to CFB (Canadian Forces Base) Borden being named after Robert Borden (a common misconception). It was named for Frederick William Borden. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Secretsa2 (talk • contribs) 23:48, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

went to article
What does the phrase "went to article" mean? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 04:00, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Edit summary question
User:Mr Serjeant Buzfuz, howdy. What exactly did you mean by your edit summary when you wrote, "Because it's not written by an Ontarian, or published in Ontario?"  Ak-eater06  (talk) 22:52, 2 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Because all we have is your diktat: "not reliable source".  Your edit summary gave no reason why you thought an article written by a North Dakota professor of history, published by one of the most well-established historical societies in western Canada, was "not reliable".  Since you gave absolutely no analysis, other than your personal opinion, I was forced to speculate.  Were you sating that western sources are inherently unreliable?  I suppose I should be happy that for once you deigned to give us an edit summary, even though it was cryptic and unilluminating. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 03:32, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Why is this article listed as of interest to WikiProject Religion / Interfaith?
I've read the article, I've searched "religion"; "christian"; "judaism";  "protestant";  "catholic"; none of which return any hits. What am I missing? Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 03:44, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * The tag was added by a strange bot in 2008. The bot was probably confused. I have deleted the tag. Indefatigable (talk) 19:23, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Interesting. Thanks. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 01:57, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
