first ATM

This page lists the first ATM in the world as the one installed in Enfield Town, in the UK, in 1967, however the Automatic Teller Machine page lists the first ATM as the one installed in Ohio in 1959, so which is the correct answer? CybergothiChé ^{word to your mother} 09:04, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6230194.stm also states that the world's first cashpoint (ATM) was installed at a branch of Barclays in Enfield which is a part of London, UK.

http://inventors.about.com/od/astartinventions/a/atm.htm refers to the idea for the machines first being considered in 1939. The British inventor of the ATM got one installed in London in 1967. However, he never patented his idea, nor his other invention the PIN. A freestanding ATM was displayed in First Pennsylvania Bank in Philadelphia the following year. Point of origin would seem to be iindicated by the last paragraph of http://www.enfieldindependent.co.uk/news/8099344.Stolen_cashpoint_plaque_will_be_replaced/

It depends how you define an ATM or cashpoint. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.14.229.147 (talk) 13:36, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

William Pepperell

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Pepperrell refers to this person as being born in Maine and "He was made a baronet for his exploits in 1746, the first American so honoured".

Yet the 'on this day' page refers to him as 1696 – William Pepperrell, English soldier (d. 1759). I think some clarification is needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.14.229.147 (talk) 13:13, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

John Alexander Moore

Why were my edits reverted? I de-wikilinked 1915 because the previous entry already had the link and added Moore's death year but they were both reverted. Why? Elspooky (talk) 14:57, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Quebec

Thomas Ridgewell edit undone?

He literally has an article on Wikipedia - and with other YouTube personalities having their names on birthday lists, what's the problem here, and why was it picked up by an anti-vandalism tool, I used proper Wiki formatting and everything! (@Prodraxis) [1]

It just seems like double-standards to allow some but not others. LazarouDave (talk) 09:30, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Feel free to readd it along with a reliable source. Suonii180 (talk) 11:13, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

  Least it's a reasonable response - however I don't know what really classes as a reliable source, so I'll leave it to someone else (you've got the information, if you can find a reasonable source, it's all yours, I know he's said it in a video before, if that counts) LazarouDave (talk) 11:21, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
