Talk:Ælfthryth (wife of Edgar)

message: I'm myopic, it's true, but this does not seem to be reverting vandalism, which is what "rvv" is usually understood as. I don't see a reason to revert at all. Am I missing something? Angus McLellan  (Talk) 23:12, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It was an anonymous IP that may have been a vandal itself. I saw some issues in the article that I fixed. How come she is referred to as Ælfthryth throughout the article even though the title is Efrida? Either she should be referred to as Elfrida throughout the article (except for the first sentence that shows alternate names) or the article's title should be changed to Ælfthryth. --PiMaster3 talk 23:38, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: She's on my list of Anglo-Saxon-people-whose-articles-have-to-be-renamed. I'd have to rename the other Ælfthryths, and move Ælfthryth to Ælfthryth (disambiguation), but I haven't figured out exactly what to call them. Presumably this one could be Ælfthryth, Queen of England and Aelfthryth could be Ælfthryth, Countess of Boulogne [oops]] Ælfthryth, Countess of Flanders. There's also Ælfthryth, Queen of Mercia, Mrs Cenwulf of Mercia, about whom I could manage a couple of paragraphs, probably. What might be called Ælfthryth, putative daughter of Offa of Mercia would be better to stay at Alfrida. I don't think there are any other Ælfthryths. Elfrida and  Aelfthryth would redirect to the disambiguation page and Alfrida should have an  hatnote on it. Hmm, looks like I have a plan! Angus McLellan  (Talk) 00:00, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Constance of Antioch

message: These kinds of move wars are pretty stupid. "Naming conventions" tend to impose uniformity on articles that don't really need it. You'll notice even from a Google search that "Constance of Antioch" and "Constance, Princess of Antioch" appear in the literature. Is "princess" really necessary?

Talk:Odo, Count of Penthièvre

message: The page is inconsistent. The most common spelling of the count's name appears to be "Eudes", with "Odo" second and "Eozen" a very distant third. The accessible references provide no assistance. The standard treatment for rulers of Brittany in en-wiki appears to be to Anglicise the name (cf the navbox). Therefore propose to replace "Eozen" with "Odo" throughout the text. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 04:42, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: *  I wouldn't actively pursue renaming in other articles, but then I don't need to with respect to the Pierres: they already appear in en-wiki as Peter, viz Peter II, Duke of Brittany and Peter I, Duke of Brittany. This proposal is for internal article consistency, where the Odo is in the title and was originally used, but Eozen is used throughout (but not in accessible references); The "(Medieval Breton: Eudon Pentevr, Modern Breton: Eozen Penteur, French: Eudes/Éon de Penthièvre)" text would remain untouched. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 03:40, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Eadmer

message: This church in Bleasdale is probably the only one dedicated to Saint Eadmer. This page about the church at lancashirechurches.co.uk gives a date of death for St Eadmer of 1109. Description panels near the church describe Eadmer as a monk who had a vision which revealed to him the place in Durham where Cuthbert of Lindisfarne was finally to be laid to rest. (No mention of a biography of Anslem - but this is the north where Cuthbert is a bigger hero than Anslem!)

Talk:Fulk III, Count of Anjou

message: I have taken the liberty of removing the image from a 17th century source that had been in the infobox. I generally love pictures in infoboxes, and I even see the merits of some artistic renderings from later times (especially of personalities that played an important role in a nation's historical "mythology"). But this one is too anachronistic and too fanciful a depiction to bring anything of value to the article. Plus, without any identification of a source beyond "gravure du XVIIème siècle" on the original website, one can't even read on about which history book it is taken from.

Talk:Victoria Nuland

message: From the recent book by Isikoff and Corn:
“We wanted to raise the cost in a manner Putin recognized,” Nuland recalled.
Knowing that Putin was notoriously protective of any information about his family, Wallander suggested targeting Putin himself. She proposed leaking snippets of classified intelligence to reveal the secret bank accounts in Latvia held for Putin’s daughters—a direct poke at the Russian president that would be sure to infuriate him. Wallander also brainstormed ideas with Victoria Nuland, the assistant secretary of state for European affairs and a fellow hard-liner. They drafted other proposals: to dump dirt on Russian websites about Putin’s money, about the girlfriends of top Russian officials, about corruption in Putin’s United Russia party—essentially to give Putin a taste of his own medicine. 
So, is this what caused russia to kick our asses?
Putin sure did recognize it when Nuland et al raised his costs.  
if the above is correct, then should a new section be added concerning who authorized the Panama Papers hack?

message: It's a small thing, but it feels misleading to frame her departure from a political appointment requiring senate confirmation to say it was "amid the departure of many career officials who left in the early days of the Trump administration." It doesn't make a significant difference, like with many executive branch positions, the Trump administration was slow to replace her, and it's arguable she would have been left in the position instead of appointing someone in an acting capacity, but it doesn't really feel like it should be grouped with the resignations of apolitical state department officials or framed like it was particularly unusual. 99.237.222.68 (talk) 14:51, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Ermengarde of Anjou, Duchess of Burgundy

message: This Ermengarde of Anjou, being the daughter of Fulk III the Black and Hildegarde, did married, respectively, to Geoffrey II, Count of Gâtinais in 1035, then, in 1049, to Robert, the Duke of Burgundy, the son of Robert II Capet, King of France. A confirmed biography can be seen here from the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy, as seen below:
ERMENGARDE [Blanche] d'Anjou ([1018]-murdered church of Fleury-sur-Ouche, Côte d’Or 18 Mar 1076, bur Abbaye de Saint-Seine, Côte d'Or).  Her name is recorded in a 13th century obituary of Molesme which commemorates Duke Robert[147].  The Historiæ Andegavensis names "Goffridi de Castro Landono et Ermengardis filia Fulconis Comitis  Andegavensis" as parents of "Fulco comes Andegavensis"[148].  Her second marriage is deduced from a genealogy of the Comtes d'Anjou which names "Fulco (pater) Gosfridus et Ermengardis (mater) Gosfridus (et) Fulco (et) Hildegardis, de altero patre, filia Roberti ducis fratris Henrici regis"[149].  She was murdered with her husband.  m firstly ([1035]) GEOFFROY II "Ferréol" Seigneur de Château-Landon, Comte de Gâtinais, son of BOUCHARD Comte [de Gâtinais] & his wife --- (-30 Apr 1043).  m secondly (1049) as his second wife, ROBERT I "le Vieux" Duke of Burgundy, son of ROBERT II "le Pieux" King of France & his third wife Constance d'Arles ([1007]-church of Fleury-sur-Ouche, Côte d’Or 18 Mar 1076, bur Abbaye de Saint-Seine, Côte d’Or).

Talk:Gottschalk (Obotrite prince)

message: There is a problem with the second paragraph of this article: Svein was the father of Canute
(Knut) and died c.1014, probably in England during the Danish invasion of the country. It seem to be the case that the author of this article has confused Sweyn Forkbeared, Canute's father, with Svein Estridsson.
Canute became King of England in 1016 after the death of King Ethelred II "the Unready", marrying Ethelred's widow, Emma of Normandy.  Initially rule of the territory of England was shared by treaty with Ethelred's son, Edmund Ironside, until Edmund was treacherously murdered through the intervention of the turncoat, Eadric Streona.  Knut later ordered Eadric's execution. 
Knut's so-called 'empire' included England and Norway, and he became King of Denmark after the death of his elder brother, Harald, in 1018. 
There were certainly small numbers of Slavic troops among the invasion army of Svein and Knut
during their campaign in England, which began in 1002, but it is likely that the bulk of these were supplied by Knut's grandfather, Mieszko, King of the Polans, though accurate information on this point is somewhat elusive. It is a moot point whether Elbe Slavs (Obotrites/Wends) were also recruited by Svein and Knut. 81.159.19.174 (talk) 20:34, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
