Talk:Bosavern Penlez

message: Honestly, something is dead wrong with the article . The second sentence is utterly meaningless, and makes the actual crime (not the charge) of which Penlez was accused, as well as the nature of Fielding's involvement in the case impossible to understand. Somebody familiar with the matter please help fix that --Svartalf (talk) 20:08, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Could somebody please rewrite?

message: I am a student at Cà Foscari University of Venice. This semester I am attending a History of English Culture course and as a part of the exam it is required the improvement of a Wikipedia article related to subjects faced during the course. I've been assigned to improve this article about Bosavern Penlez. I'll try and do my best to improve it.
Regarding the bibliography, I'll mainly use these sources:
*Old Bailey Proceedings Online (www.oldbaileyonline.org, version 7.2, 15 October 2015), Ordinary of Newgate's Account, October 1749 (OA17491018).
*Hitchcock Tim, Shoemaker Robert: "Tales from the hanging court", London, Bloomsbury Academic, 2006.
*Henry Fielding, "A true state of the cause of Bosavern Penlez (1749) in "Enquiry into the Causes", ed. Zirker, pp 5-6. 
*Old Bailey Proceedings Online (www.oldbaileyonline.org, version 7.2, 18 October 2015), Ordinary of Newgate's Account, October 1749 (OA17491018).
Any suggestions/advice are obviously well accepted ! Thanks to anyone who will write me.

Talk:30 Fenchurch Street

message: Perhaps the article should make clear that it was the original Plantation Place building that was a produce exchange, not the current modern building. Also I think (but don't have a citation for) that is was for all plantation produce (e.g. rubber etc.). There was also some controversy about keeping the 'Plantation' name because of the slavery connotations - again I'll see if I can cite a source for this.

Talk:Polwarth, Edinburgh

message: I've added a couple of images to liven up this stub, they are not the greatest and i'll take better when i get the chance.  I hope to be working on this stub soon as it needs attention. --Brideshead 18:38, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Currently article states 'It is bounded by Bruntsfield and Merchiston to the east and south, Gorgie and Dalry to the north, and Fountainbridge, and Craiglockhart to the west.'
This is very rough, if not even inaccurate, and would need careful refining.
However, Polwarth is probably more a convenient daily expression - conveniently propagated by estate agents - to situate someone's dwellings, because Polwarth Gardens, Terrace, Park, Grove, Crescent, and Parish Church are prominent landmarks in this end of town.
Indeed, technically, there is no doubt that Polwarth is within Merchiston, with Merchiston expanding on the hill side down from Bruntsfield, all the way westwards towards the Union Canal, and beyond where North Merchiston is to be found.
The North Merchiston Club is an excellent clue to the fact that Merchiston is wider than, and includes, Polwarth.
The boundaries for the Merchiston Community Council area are an other very clear clue on that situation. Aristote33 (talk) 13:38, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Assessment#Class_parameter|Biography assessment rating]] comment 

message: Given that the sources for this king seem to be much later and there are so few sixth century dates established with any certainty, I would love to know where that 'died c 560' came from and how reliable it is? 
The False Brochwel section seems like it could also do with a citation or some supporting evidence. 
I read a very old article by Edwin Guest, 'The English Conquest of the Severn Valley' which suggests that Brochwel Ysgithrog  and the Battle of Chester Brochmael / Brochfael are the same person, but that he was old and hence was left in charge of guarding the monks at the battle, while his grandson Selyf, was his co-ruler and as the younger king was the battle leader.  
There may be good reasons to rule this theory out, it is after all from the late C19th -  perhaps this article could tell us why we can be sure Brochwel was dead long before Chester, or at least where to find these sources?  'His grandson was king' doesn't on the face of it seem like a conclusive argument that Brochwel was 50 years dead.  Surely even in the Dark Ages, it was possible occasionally for a man to see his grandson grow up?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.71.104.222 (talk) 12:19, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Bruce Hayes (linguist)

message: I know it's not really kosher to edit an article about oneself, but in this case claims were being made on my behalf that make me look better than I really am, so hopefully it is not unethical for me to fix them. Pirhayati, if you read this please don't take offense, I do appreciate your taking the trouble to edit the article.
The particular issues are as follows. (1) Taehong Cho was not my student; his advisers were Patricia Keating and Sun-Ah Jun (usually in academia you don't say "X was Y's student" unless Y was X's adviser.) (2) It would not be accurate to say I am a phonetician. To count as a professional academic phonetician, you need to have a record of publication in phonetics journals, and I don't. Many phonologists, like me, do research that relies on phonetics, or even teach phonetics at the undergraduate level, but that does not make them phoneticians. (3) The photo of myself was not my work and I have credited the real photographer.
I hope these changes are ok. BrucePHayes (talk) 23:26, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Great to see you around!  That means the file description you gave on commons:File:BrucePHayes.JPG is erroneous.

message: I am very suspicious of the claim that the C-class submarines were brought by the White Sea, since the White Sea Canal was only built in the 1930s (and was a particulary notorious example of forced labour at that time).

replies: text: Submarines may have been moved by canal, but the link "canals in Russia" in article goes to White Sea Canal, built more than 10 years later. Therefore, the link can't be right, and the source, if right, means another canal. It could be a waterway now part of the White Sea canal, but it wasn't the White Sea Canal since it didn't exist.--Pere prlpz (talk) 18:05, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Calamis (4th century BC)

message: Since Calamis was supposed to be the teacher of Praxias, and Praxias was said to have made the pediments of the Delphic Temple of Apollo, which recent archaeology dates to 339 B.C. (re-constructed version), the usual dating of Calamis to the fifth century B.C. seems problematical.  Some solutions  (other than simple errors in dating either Calamis or the pediments) suggest themselves.  The first is probably what led to the creation of this Wik site with a Calamis from the 4th century.  An alternative is that Pausanius's writing that the pediments were done by Praxias is mis-leading: there are two sculptors named Praxias rather than two named Calamis, or Praxias executed the original pediments.  Of course, it could also be the case that the basic facts (P a pupil of C or P the maker of the pediments) are wrong.Kdammers (talk) 02:03, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

This entry lists the number of Internet hosts available within a country. An Internet host is a computer connected directly to the Internet; normally an Internet Service Provider's (ISP) computer is a host. Internet users may use either a hard-wired terminal, at an institution with a mainframe computer connected directly to the Internet, or may connect remotely by way of a modem via telephone line, cable, or satellite to the Internet Service Provider's host computer. The number of hosts is one indicator of the extent of Internet connectivity.
The text should be updated accordingly. Right now, the article text gives the idea that there are an average of 2 customers per ISP in the Cook Islands.... when there are likely only and small handful of real ISPs servicing these customers.
