Talk:Thomas M. Browne

message: I haven't corrected the grammatical issues (which are numerous), but I have deleted the lateral reference to President Lincoln.  Of about 1,400 brevets for brigadier generals, Lincoln only signed 58 of them.  Despite being a month before the president's assassination, this date appears on the vast majority of commissions for Civil War service, even though those commissions were issued anytime between May of 1865 and March 3, 1869, when an act of congress halted the practice.  All commissions with this date were signed by President Johnson.

Talk:William E. Cox

message: I can't find confirmation elsewhere that this institution ever existed in Tennessee. However there is Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tennessee. Also appears that there was once a Lebanon University in Lebanon, Ohio. – wbm1058 (talk) 23:18, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: His official biography in the Congressional Biography Directory maintained by the U.S. House of Representatives lists him as a graduate of Lebanon University in Tennessee. Should this be considered a WP:RS? Go4thProsper (talk) 03:04, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Interestingly, a review of the prominent alumni of Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tennessee shows a surprisingly long list of members of Congress. Cox is not one of them, but several 19th Century-era graduates on the list are referred to in the Congressional Bio Directory as being graduates of Lebanon University. Some of their corresponding Wikipedia pages list Lebanon U. under their educations. So it looks like @wbm1058 is correct that Lebanon U. is actually Cumberland U. I am going to leave it to other editors to make sense of all of this and determine how best to address it. But I will add Cox to Cumberland’s alumni list.

Talk:Wollaton Wagonway

message: Another possibilty is you phrase the intro it like "the crucial step according to the British historian M.J.T. Lewis". Otherwise, your strong word choice contains too much of interpretation and assumption, which you first have to prove to be correct and accepted unanimously. Regards Gun Powder Ma 20:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I can live with either 'crucial' or 'significant'.  Some WP articles imply that there were earlier railways.  In fact the German "hund" used a quite different system: it had flat wheels running on a planked roadway, with a pin pointign donw inot a groove in the roadway.  Both M. J. T. Lewis and R. S. Smith identify Wollaton as the first transport system with rails.  I have something new to say on the subject, but for the moment that is WP:OR, and thus not appropriate to appear in WP.  Nevertheless, the Wollaton Wagonway is the earliest documented reference to the use of rails.  The problem with timelines is that they appear to imply an inevitable historical progression where it was not inevitable at all.  I should add that I recently simplified the text, with a view to making it more encyclopaedic in tone.  Before doing so, I examined several of the articles cited.  If I removed any fact, please restore it.  Peterkingiron 22:21, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Phrasing 

message: It would be nice to have someone knowledgeable expound more detail on exactly why this waggonway was significant.  In particular, for the non-expert, it can be perplexing to guess what is meant by "overland" when other historical rail systems seemed to go over the land (is there any other way?) and the terminology "surface level" can again be unclear to the non-expert.  
In summary, it seems you have the details of significance mentioned, but could be improved in clarity.  Perhaps even an illustration might help avoid confusion as to why it is, exactly, this waggonway is of import.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.144.236.150 (talk) 22:58, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Is this in contrast with "underground"?  Earlier German ways underground used a different system and are not "rail" ways.  At Early Railways 4 conference, I made the case for this having the earliest document, but not in fact being the first.

Talk:James Brooks (politician)

message: I just changed Brooks's birth year from 1810 to 1807 and his birth place from Portland to "in or near Portland." The source I cited mentions that his birth year is often listed as 1810, so I expect this to be challenged at some point. Since my source is an unpublished dissertation, I thought I would just copy the relevant text here.
There is no original record of Brooks's birth, which is usually given as at Portland in 1810. The General Catalogue of Officers, Graduates and Former Students of Colby College (Waterville, several editions) attributes his birth, however, to Cape Elizabeth on November 10, 1807. So does D.C. Colesworthy's School Is Out (Boston, 1876, p. 334). Furthermore, the New England Historical and Geneological Register, (XXVIII, p. 363), in a biographical sketch, asserts that Brooks held a situation as school teacher at 16 and entered Waterville College two years later, where he graduated before he was 21. He certainly, notwithstanding the assertion of the Dictionary of American Biography, and many other works, graduated from college in the class of 1828. [John] Neal, also, says that Brooks was "not much over twenty" when he began to study law at Portland. (Portland Illustrated, p. 50.) Brooks's parents filed marriage intentions on February 8, 1807 (Original record at Portland), and he was the eldest of three children. The parents, in the above re­cord, are said to be "both of Portland." The Portland Advertiser, at the time of his election to the Maine Legislature (November 3, 1836) asserted that he was born in Portland.

Talk:Moses Hayden

message: Footnotes in short bios are nonsense, since usually all info is the same in all sources or a single source is used, and it is not helpful to add the same five sources in every line after every half sentence. Only controversial or unusual content should always be footnoted. In THIS particular case, the sources are contradictory, and the exact content of the conflicting statements is added at each source. There can not be any doubt about what the sources say, it remains however doubtful which is the correct info. The birthdate seems to be June 1785, not 1786. It is a common mistake which occurs when somebody reading the statement "died 1830, aged 44" counts back and arrives at 1786. However, if born in June 1785, and dead in February 1830, he would be 44 too. The historian believes in the more accurate info with the month.

Two things.  
First, quick edit: 1950 --> 1850.
Second, clarify the quotes from Century of Lawmaking in the Freedman's Bureau paragraph.  The quote first follows "Taylor believed" so it seems like the words are his.  But the next quote attached to the same citation includes him in the third person.  Who was saying what, when, in what context?  (Include end quote in that paragraph.)
