Talk:Thomas Haynes Bayly

message: Thomas Haynes Bayly [1797-1839),song-writer,novelist,and dramatist, was born at Bath on 13,Oct.1797.  He was the only child of Mr. Nathaniel Bayly.  At a very early age Bayly displayed a talent for verse.  On his 17th birthday he entered his father's office for the purpose of studying law,but soon devoted himself to writing humorous articles for the public journals.  Bayly visited Dublin and had his earliest success by writing ballads.  Bayly moved to London in January 1824.He gave up the whole idea of church,and wanted to win fame as a lyric poet.  In 1826 he was married to the daughter of Mr. Benjamin Hayes.  The profits he made were considerable ,and his income was increased by his wife's dowry.  Bayly then wrote the song ' I'd be a butterfly' which quickly secured universal popularity.  Breaking up his establishment at Bath, Bayly now moved to London where he applied himself to writing ballads and pieces for the stage which immediately became popular.  On the trip to London,Bayly  scrawled comedy into his notebook. It was declined by many many theatrical managers,but ultamitely Madame Vestris ,to whom it was submitted,discovered it merits and produced it.  Lord Chesterfield who was present on the first night, declared that he never saw a better farce.  The piece became a great favorite at private theatres.  In 1831,Bayly realized he was in financial trouble when his marriage portion he invested coal mines that proved unproductive. He also suffered in health.  A poem he wrote at this time calles' The Bridesmaid' drew a flattering letter from Sir Robert Peel,and formed the subject of a remarkable picture by one of the leading artists of the day.  After his loss of fortune,Bayly wrote diligently  for the stage,and in a short time he had produced no fewer than 36 dramatic pieces.An attack of the brain-fever prevented him from writing a work of fiction for which he had enterd the arrangement Mesuers Bently; but from his illness he only recovered ,only,however, to suffer from other and more painful diseases. He still hoped to recover,but dropsy succeeded to confirmed jaundice,and on 22 April 1839,he expired. He was buried at Cheltenham,his epitaph being written by his friend Theodore Hook.

Talk:Thomas J. Oakley

message: I am questioning Oakley's middle name here. Any source that has to do with Trinity Church Cemetery cites his middle name as 'Jefferson'. His Congress bio cites him as 'Thomas Jackson'. Officials sources use 'Jackson' but apparently, it says 'Jefferson' on his tombstone. 
I am curious if anyone knows what his real middle name is. In the case that no one knows, maybe we should move the article to "Thomas J. Oakley" which will help at least with searches by users, etc.
Also, his New York Times obituary cites him as 'Thomas J. Oakley'. --Sanorton (talk) 19:13, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

message: I have a copy of the eighth edition of The Pursuits of Literature, printed in 1798, when it was still anonymous.

Talk:ISO 20022

message: Those links indicate that ISO 20022 revises ISO 15022.  That revision is so complete that it is correct to consider ISO 20022 to be a successor to ISO 15022.
Note that ISO 20022 has not immediately replaced ISO 15022; both will continue to be in use for years to come, but the intention is that there will be no major new work done on ISO 15022 messages; any major new work will be done in ISO 20022, so ISO 15022 should slowly fade away over time.

message: I saw that Fed Now uses ISO 20022. I heard that 63 central banks announced that they will use ISO 200222, that many financial institutions like SWIFT and DTCC are upgrading to Digital Ledger Technology (DLT), and that there are only 5 DLT tokens that are compliant with ISO 20022. So to be compliant, the Fed and Central banks must use one of these five tokens, including XLM, XDC, Iota, and XRP. They would not use another one because it takes years to develop another token.
 
Does this sound right? Does the Fed and other central banks de facto have to use one of the 5 tokens to be ISO 20022 compliant?
Alternately, are there institutions that are ISO 20022 compliant and don't use one of these 5 tokens? Thanks.

We took the information from the report that we created.  It should not be deleted because everything is now cited and it was not complete at the time of the speedy deletion was put on it!  Thank you.
Hi - I've removed the Delete tag because it looks like this could be a suitable area for an ecyclopedia article. However I've added a POV (Point of view) tag and a Tone tag. This is because you have a conflict of interest being connected with the organisation behind the material, so it's best if someone checks the article to ensure that it is neterual in tone. In addition, it needs a clean-up as it clearly reads like a factsheet or an (magazine) article. --Fredrick day 10:06, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Thomas Maitland (British Army officer)

message: Is anyone interested in this page enough to improve the section on his military service and the secret treaty with Toussaint? I honestly had never heard of Maitland until I was reading The Era of Federalism (Stanley Elkins and Eric McKitrick, Oxford University Press, 1995, ISBN-10: 019509381X, ISBN-13: 978-0195093810) and came upon their section on how it tied into US-French maritime conflict. I also saw the illustration with a caption referring to the secret treaty, but no text on the page about the even whatsoever. I more or less inserted a quick block quote from the Elkins-McKitrick book as a marker, hoping that someone who cares more about this topic might feel provoked. The little I know about his career in Domingue is through the lens of how it impacted the US-French maritime conflict. Surely someone else can do better than I?

Talk:Thomas Raikes

message: I've removed the following paragraph from the main article, as it is about the crisis of 1797 and the issuing of banknotes rather than Thomas Raikes.
::On 26 February 1797, in spite of it being a Sunday, the Privy Council convened to discuss measures of preventing the country’s financial ruin. The reserves in the Bank of England were dangerously low, and the news that a French squadron had landed on the coast of Fishguard, Wales, had just reached the capital the previous day.  On the following day, people who went to the Bank of England were given handbills, which communicated that by Order of the Privy Council the Bank had suspended the cash payment of their notes.  The Bank on that day issued the first £1 and £2 sterling banknotes.  The Bank of England was beginning to assume the status of a central bank, and the people used and became accustomed to inconvertible paper money.
An abbreviated version of this highlighting Raikes' involvement or its effect on him/his career is obviously suitable for this article. But a detailed treatment of the crisis is best left to a more appropriate article. Thryduulf (talk) 14:19, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
