Talk:Capital expenditure

message: Describing the verb this way helped me, "Capitalize: An account redefinition (on the balance sheet) where money is subtracted from 1 account (expense) and added to another (asset), thus redefining the worth of the asset (and naturally, the expense account as well)."

thread_title:  Needs simplifying 

message: This is about improving another article, but needs expertise on capital expenditure.
Inflation adjustments are applied to monetary amounts for English sales of wives of centuries ago. The Inflation template does not apply to capital expenses. Since these sales are often or typically functionally divorces, rather than sales of stock to pimps for prostitution, these appear to be capital expenses or capital purchases. However, a counterargument is that the prices were artificially depressed by the selling husbands to signify to their communities that they were divorcing women whom they considered almost or actually worthless (some so-called sales were for free or a glass of ale). Unfortunately, we can't know whether that counterargument applied in every case for which an inflation-adjusted equivalent value is being given in the article. Further, one could countercounterargue that the low value was not artificially low but accurately reflected the economic value to the selling husband of the wife, since she might have been unwilling to help him but glad to help another man whom she had in mind, and that would correlate with the divorce happening. Is the expense that is attached to a wife sale (even when not due to prostitution or pimping) sometimes not a capital expense?

Talk:William II, Count of Nevers

message: Hi. I'm removing this picture because I believe that it is that of his contemporary William II of Aquitaine, who famously had to make his submission to Raoul of Burgundy in 924, after much resistance (and the resistance resumed after the act too, just not so much "in-your-face" as before); that submission led to a definitive change in the status of the county of Nevers, so yes it is very notable and worthy of a picture.
I may be wrong, note; only I just spent several instructive days looking into that one in much detail and I'll need serious proof of the contrary (always good to learn).
Ok, that William in the picture is wearing a religious robe. But W. of Nevers shut himself in the Grande Chartreuse and for all I know did not bulge from it until he died there short of a year later - at least I found no trace of any kind that shows or even suggests that he got out while he was there.
What is that bag that he is carrying? As a 'monk' William II of Nevers did not bring/carry his possessions (the bag in the picture) anywhere to anyone, and certainly not to the Grande Chartreuse as he gave the county/ies away to his son before going there. And as a count he never made any notable submission - that is, his submissions were no event, just routine.
Then why the robe for W. of Aquitaine? Could represent his putting a girdle (as monks do) on his appetite for power/similar. That submission sure must have grated on him. Such symbolic representations are strewn all over paintings of all kinds and especially those of these centuries (very general statement, although true).
Again I may be wrong, thank you for showing me where :)
I may not come back here for a while, so if you think you have a good proof that the picture is that of W. of Nevers after all, please don't wait for me to come back to put the picture back, thanks. Basicdesign (talk) 12:49, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Talk:William Peverel

message: This William (the Elder) was reputed to indeed have married Adelina, but was she the  daughter of Roger of Poitou, Earl of Lancaster?  William's son, William the Younger, married Avice de Lancaster who is reputed to be the daughter of Roger de Montgomery, Earl of Lancaster, aka Roger of Poitou.  Surely, they can't both be his daughter?! Iandelg 15:39, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The following question is copied over from Wikipedia:Reference desk/Humanities, with some editing of the links:
At William Peverel, the author suggests that William Peverel married Adelina, daughter of Roger of Poitou. 
However, Adelina is not listed as one of Roger's children at Roger of Poitou.
Furthermore, sites such as rootsweb.com and [familysearch.org suggest that Adelina is not the child of Roger of Poitou. 
Rather, these sites show no parents for Adelina, wife of William Peverel (father); they propose that it was his son, also named William Peverel, who married Avice, daughter of Roger of Poitou.
Is it your opinion that the author of William Peverel misassociated the father and son in regards to the families into which they married? 
I recognize that www.rootsweb.com and www.familysearch.org are subject to errors because, like wikipedia, their content is supplied by volunteers and hobbyists (non professionals).
Perhaps you have access to more fact-based information that could clear up this conundrum.  Xelaquetzal  02:53, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

text: The source is possibly this webpage, which, however, offers nothing stronger than From her surname she may be supposed to have been the daughter of Roger de Poitou. However, this webpage states: She married Lord of Nottingham William Peverel the Elder before 1075 and bore him a daughter Adeliza b. c. 1075, citing J.R. Planché, The Conqueror and His Companions (London, England: Tinsley Brothers, 1874). Assuming that this is reliable, she cannot plausibly have been Roger de Poitou's daughter, as the latter was born around the year 1058, and only married about the year 1083. He could hardly have been a grandfather at age 27. I've removed the dubious assertion of parentage.  --Lambiam 08:48, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Adela of Champagne

message: In the following sentence, are "Adela" and "Adèle" the same person?  If so, why was she threatened by her own daughter in law?  If not, who is this Adèle who suddenly appears in this article?
Adela and her brothers felt their position threatened when the heiress of Artois, Isabella of Hainault, married Adèle's son Philip in April 1180. 
What about this one?  Is "Queen Adèle" the mother of Adela, or the same person? 
Louis and Adela married on 13 November 1160, five weeks after his previous wife, Constance of Castile, died in childbirth. Queen Adèle was the mother of Louis VII's only son, Philip II, and of the Byzantine empress Agnes.
If Adela and Adele are the same person, then this says she was already be the mother of Louis VII's son before she married him.  If that isn't true -- if she bore his son after their marriage, then the past tense ("was") is misleading -- better to say "She bore him a son" or "She became the mother ...".  — Lawrence King (talk) 21:35, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Abu Sa'id (Ilkhanid dynasty)

message: There's currently a statement in this article about Pope John XXII writing to Abu Sa'id to "remind him about his alliance."  The source given is this website, in French.  Now, the source definitely does say that, but, can we find something a bit more reliable?  Like maybe something with actual footnotes that indicate where the information came from? I've been checking my own sources, such as Peter Jackson's Mongols and the West, and haven't been able to confirm this communication.  I'm not saying it's false, but can anyone else confirm this in another (preferably printed peer-reviewed footnoted) source?  Thanks, Elonka 08:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Abu Sa'id had a long and eventful reign. That Pope John XXII wrote him a letter is not a notable event. There is no evidence that the Ilkhan received the letter and no record of a response.

Please note that "friendship" is not an "alliance". I will track down the letter if necessary. I have removed the entire section and the misleading French website.

Talk:Alix, Duchess of Brittany

message: Was Alix Countess of Richmond? In The Charters of Duchess Constance of Brittany and Her Family (1171-1221), by Judith Everard and Michael Jones, there are charters made by both Alix (also called Alice in the book) and Peter of Dreux, and they both use the title comitissa/comes Richemundie.
I saw on the Earl of Richmond page that Alix's half-sister Eleanor had been styled Countess of Richmond from 1208 to 1219, when Peter of Dreux became Earl of Richmond. Eleanor's also called "Duchess of Brittany, Countess of Richmond" in Everard and Jones's book (p 164).
Yet some charters made by Alix and Peter using the title of Countess/Earl of Richmond are older: charter Ae5 dates back to July 1214, and charter Ae2 (dealing with the Earldom of Richmond) was made between 1203 and 1213, maybe before her marriage since Peter (who acted as a regent for her between their wedding and her death) isn't mentioned in it (see Everard and Jones, pp 169, 170, 173).
