(Blood ties)
[edit]This article needs an explanation of the blood ties Chisholm claims to have with the British Royal Family. Someone should take the text from here: http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Edward_VIII_of_the_United_Kingdom#Adrift Damiancorrigan 20:12, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- I presume it was in response to that, that someone put in at least the ref in the following text which i have removed:
- ... or 'The Prince of Pockets', because of he claims blood to the British Royal Family. His grandfather, David Anthony Chisholm, has been claimed to be the illegitimate son of King Edward VIII. However, David Anthony Chisholm was not born until 3 October 1923 (at Woollahra) and the future King had left Australia in August 1920.<ref>Camp, Anthony, Royal Mistresses and Bastards: Fact and Fiction 1714-1936 (London, 2007) ISBN 978-0-9503308-2-2.</ref>
- There's now no "Adrift" section, nor mention of any other Chisholm, nor any hint of Edw's presence in Australia beyond his pejorative assessment of the indigenous people. Others may find it worth pursuing in the then-current revision, but i am skeptical:
- _ For starters, "insistence" is vague and PoV; the only reasonable way to construe it is that others have argued with him, and he either repeatedly argues back, or ignores their arguments by repeating his claim. Google produces
- 17 for "Scott Chisholm" australia blood OR descent OR descended OR related prince OR royal -half.
- (You have to rule out mentions of "... the Half-Blood Prince".) Of those, 5 (#1,3,4, 5 & 11) are about the journalist, 1 (# 6) is a list of sport figures that is an irrelevant hit ... except that it happens to point to the article i just quoted, 1 (# 7) includes a list of sport figures which link, e.g. to pix of the footballer, 3 (8, 9, 12 &17) are for lists of WP article titles, 3 (#10, 15 & 16) are about the actor, and 2 (#13 & 14) are for other Scott Chisholms. So it's not easy to find a source that clarifies, as we must, either what behavior(s) are shorthanded by the description of him as "insistent".
- _ Worse yet, i happen to be a blood relation of the Brit royals, by at least two independent paths: we are both descended from mitochondrial Eve and from Y-chromosomal Adam ... as are you, and Chisholm. I'm not just being cute: our content does not assert that his claim of relatedness mentions his apparent paternal grandfather, yet we've been accusing him of ignoring the evidence that that person can't be Edward's son. We have no business mentioning Edward unless a reliable source says that his being called "Prince" reflects his saying he's Edward's great-grandson via David Anthony Chisholm. (And an accusation is what BLP requires us to consider a statement about him that can reasonably be called negative.)
- _ For starters, "insistence" is vague and PoV; the only reasonable way to construe it is that others have argued with him, and he either repeatedly argues back, or ignores their arguments by repeating his claim. Google produces
