Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien spoke to the Newman Society in the 1880s? This was quite an achievement for the precocious Tolkien who was not born until 1892. Fys. Ta fys aym. 14:58, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple Newman Societies

I understand from the John Henry Newman article's discussion page that there's more than one Newman Society in Oxford, and that OUNS is in dispute with a society that claims to have continuity with the historic Newman Society. This is an interesting development, and one that's worthy of note in this article. Countersubject 15:18, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oldest society?

"The Oxford University Newman Society (est. 1878) is arguably Oxford University's oldest student society,"

Can any interested editor support this statement? Both OICCU and OUMS appear to precede it. 79.73.100.28 00:19, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:BRIDESHEAD.jpg

Image:BRIDESHEAD.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.

"The" or "an" extraordinary form

In spite of what the editor with the log-in name "NewmanSociety" has claimed in his edit summary, the RCC does not call celebration according to the 1962 Roman Missal the extraordinary form, but only an extraordinary form of the Roman Rite of Mass. There is today only one ordinary form of the Roman Rite (cf. canon 910 on the ordinary minister of Holy Communion (bishop, priest or deacon), and the variety of people to whom the term "extraordinary minister of Holy Communion" can be applied); any other form of the Roman Rite (the 1962 form, the 1961 form, the 1954 form ...) is out of the ordinary, extraordinary.

"NewmanSociety" also claimed that the Wikipedia article extraordinary form of the Roman Rite supports his view. It does not. It says explicitly: "In the motu proprio, and in the accompanying letter that he sent to the Bishops, Pope Benedict designated the 1962 form an extraordinary form, not the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite". The article provides quotations from these two papal documents to show what the Pope does call it. Unless "NewmanSociety" is a sedevacantist, he must surely accept that what the Pope calls the 1962 form is what the RCC calls it. While certain quarters have taken to calling the 1962 form the extraordinary form, that is not what the RCC calls it.

I have taken the liberty, while dealing with this matter, to raise the question whether prominence is in fact achieved when a newspaper prints one's letter to the editor. Perhaps I am wrong in doubting whether this really is prominence.

A kind request to "NewmanSociety": Please don't mark almost all your edits as "minor", when many seem not to be minor. Esoglou (talk) 21:12, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Better photograph of Knox

There must be one out there which can be used on Wikipedia; this is an appeal! NewmanSociety (talk) 10:18, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:The Newman Society/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

This page is much improved and expanded from when I last saw it. It still needs more referencing to reach the "Good Article" level IMHO, though perhaps the nature of the subject means independent verifiable sources will be tricky-ish to find. Try to give web links to references where possible, e.g. for recent newspaper articles. This makes the references much more useful to the reader as the source material is only a click away....
