[edit] Category addition
Vulturell, you added this page to a British Jews category. Could you say what your source for that is please? SlimVirgin (talk) 22:39, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
"The collection was built up by the financier Ernest Cassel, who was born into a poor Jewish family in Germany in 1852, arrived in Liverpool in 1869 with a violin and a small bundle of clothes, and by the time of his death in 1921 was one of the richest men in Europe.
He was a friend and adviser to the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, and was such a regular visitor to royal homes that he was nicknamed "Windsor Cassel". A large part of his collection was inherited by his granddaughter, Edwina Mountbatten, and has remained in the family since.

And "Lastly, note that there were a number of European Jews who lived, or settled in India. Some examples: Lady Mountbatten, and Haffkine, after whom the famous Haffkine Institute in Bombay (Mumbai) has been named. The mother of one of India's most glamorous film actresses, Zeenat Aman is said to be Jewish." http://www.shamash.org/lists/scj-faq/HTML/faq/13-09.html
She doesn't have to be 100% Jewish (and isn't) to be under "Jewish-British people". Vulturell 22:44, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
- You have to produce a source saying she was a Jew. Adding her to that category just because she had one Jewish grandparent is misleading and an example original research, which you've been asked elsewhere to stop. You're now engaged in disruptive editing. SlimVirgin (talk) 22:53, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

- What are you talking about? "note that there were a number of European Jews who lived, or settled in India. Some examples: Lady Mountbatten," Can you read? Please? Vulturell 22:54, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Plagiarism?
Hello. I came across what struck me as a strangely worded phrase: "The Mountbattens met Nehru in 1946 in Malaya — and Nehru rescued Edwina from under a table!" Gosh, how exciting! Seriously, a quick Google search reveals this was copied directly from this location. This and many other lines of related text were introduced in this version of the article, which basically copied and pasted the aforementioned page into this wikipedia article. Subsequent edits have removed bits and pieces, but the bulk of the text remains unmolested. So, here are my objections. First, this appears to be plagiarism. Second, even if it isn't somehow, it's not the right style. Third, there is no citation at all. Fourth, even if it were treated as a reference rather than a source to be copied verbatim, and also cited properly, this LIve South Asia site is certainly not a reliable source anyway, and this site itself doesn't say anything. Is there anything I've missed? I intend to remove the offending text, and I wanted to give my reasons. Duke Thomas (talk) 05:54, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Edwina-rh.jpg
Image:Edwina-rh.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Requested move
Under WP:NCNT, I believe Edwina Mountbatten qualifies as someone recalled almost exclusively by her personal name. Relata refero (talk) 14:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- Incorrect, WP:NC(NT), which I help maintain, gives the names which should be used in the titles of articles about people who held royal or noble titles. Charles 22:48, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

- Yes, and I pointed out this is one of the exclusions. Come on! Deal with the issue. Relata refero (talk) 13:18, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
