Talk:Michael de la Pole, 1st Earl of Suffolk

message: Rayment refers to a summons as Baron de la Pole in 1366.  Should that not be mentioned, but I thought I saw reference to s summons for his father Sir William.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:30, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Previously the webpage stated "Michael's mother was Katherine de Norwich, a daughter of Sir Walter de Norwich." which is incorrect. Katherine de Breus aka Norwich entered the nunnery at Derteford in 1378 and her next heir was found to be her cousin Sir William Ufford the Earl of Suffolk.  That is she died without heirs of her body, so she could not have been Michael de la Pole's mother.

Talk:Diesel Park West

thread_title: Compared with Shirley Bassey article

message: This is an awful article. First of all, it sounds like it was written by an obvious fan (or lifted from a copyrighted source) and practically none of it is cited. The tone is not encyclopedic (again, sounds fan-ish), especially when talking about the albums. The article mentions the band being discussed favorably in the music press, but doesn't ever link to a source.

:Manners ranked seventh in a top-ten list of "the most notable possible authors of the works of Shakespeare" determined by TopTenz.net in September 2011 (prompted by the upcoming release of Anonymous, a major motion picture on the Shakespeare authorship question). Included in the list were other lesser-known authorship candidates: Henry Neville, Mary Sidney Herbert, William Stanley, Emilia Lanier, and Fulke Greville.

message: The image in this article is not of Roger Manners. The portrait sitter wears a collar of the garter, and according to Elias Ashmole's History of the Order of the Garter (http://books.google.com/books?id=e29bAAAAQAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false), the most authoritative book on this subject, Roger Manners was never elected to the Order. Henry, 2nd Earl (341), 1526-1563, Edward, 3rd Earl (366), 1549-1587, and Francis, 6th Earl (412), 1578-1632, the younger brother of Roger, were all elected to the order, but Roger never was.

Talk:Edward Sackville, 4th Earl of Dorset

message: I wrote the Venetia Stanley article, in the main. It still needs to be referenced out, which is just a bibliographical headache... anyway, I really think this article needs serious references about the duel claim.
The reason is that, while we have reason to believe that Venetia was in London at the time claimed for the duel, possibly left there with some servants by her father, she was about twelve years old (born in December of 1600). The general story is that she came up for Princess Elizabeth's wedding in 1612 and begged to be allowed to stay. Still, her youth makes either the date or the identification of the lady in question kind of suspect. There are a lot of unfounded rumors about her, esp those also surrounding the Sackvilles.

To improve, I recommend shortening the unneccesarily long 'Characters' section, extending the 'Synopsis', creating a section to explain the books cover instead of the comments in the lead paragraph, extending the lead paragraph to provide a more setailed summary of the article, and rewording the article to avoid technical terms specific to the series and therefore make it more accessible to those who haven't read the books.

Talk:Vardavar

replies: text: I believe that "Vardavar" is the transliteration of the name as pronounced in Eastern Armenian, the dialect of the Republic of Armenia.  Also, the "d" should be consistent with Classical Armenian as well.  "Vartavar" is the name in Western Armenian.  Perhaps there are more English-language Google search results that use the "Vartavar" spelling because of the large Western Armenian diaspora? I suggest that "Vardavar" should be the main article name, with a redirect from "Vartavar".  Ketone16 (talk) 22:51, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Princess Antoinette of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld

message: Based on the fashions worn in this picture, which are from around 1833 plus or minus a few years, I think the attribution may be wrong, as Antoinette died in 1824, and given she would have been 45. 
I think perhaps this may be her daughter, who is Wikipedia is called Marie of Wurttemberg, and may have been commonly referred to as such, but whose full name is: 
     Antoinette Friederike Auguste Marie Anna Herzogin(Duchess) von Württemberg
She was born in 1799,and would have been around thirty when fashions like the ones in this painting were worn. 
I have placed this note on the image page discussion as well.

message: I propose that the Clarkston RFC and Glasgow Southern RFC articles be merged into this page. The GHA article already outlines the history of the various clubs that have merged to create the present club, so duplicates much of the other, short, articles.

It's good to point out that Cherrill married before she died, and not after, because there might be some confusion about that. However, this makes it sound as if the marriage took place shortly before her death. In reality, she married Martini in 1948. 2A02:AA1:160F:F2D4:64E1:A779:F8B5:80DF (talk) 17:53, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

To judge from the biography at http://www.poets.org/poet.php/prmPID/121 he has lost the ability to speak, which I imagine puts a damper on public appearances.
