Importuning

[edit]

This word should be clarified or changed. "Old Bailey" terminology implies the demands of a rent boy, male prostitute, or generally soliciting for gay sex in a public area. A wider meaning is one of insistent demands, usually for money. 220.244.238.166 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:58, 31 July 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Jewish?

[edit]

Brother Leslie Howard is so classified. Rothorpe (talk) 17:57, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Stainer" or "Steiner"?

[edit]

From the "Life and career" section (emphasis mine):

Born as Arthur John Stainer, he was the younger son of Ferdinand (Frank) Steiner...

It seems really unlikely that his own surname would be similar to but different from his father's. Can we get some confirmation here? The passage is unsourced. The Leslie Howard article states that his real name was "Leslie Howard Steiner", matching the father's spelling. 12.233.147.42 (talk) 20:02, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
