Talk:Rose Mofford

message: Does anyone have any sources to justify Mofford's inclusion in this category?  I have found sources showing her parents were Austrian immigrants that came to the Unites States in 1912 [e.g. ], but nothing to indicate any particular ethnic group or part of Austria–Hungary as their place of origin. --Allen3 talk 20:17, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Do you have a source for this declaration?  Wikipedia is based upon verifiability and not personal opinion. --Allen3 talk 22:47, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

text: Your argument is about as reliable as assuming everyone in the United States named Smith (surname) is Mormon just because Joseph Smith founded the LDS Church.  Looking at the article for Perica shows that the name is ued by both Croats and Serbs, two ethnic groups that have lived in close proximity for centuries.  Furthermore, given the level of disruption in the Balkans around the time Mofford's parents emigrated (e.g. Albanian Revolt of 1912 and First Balkan War) it is not surprising that multiple people fled the area.  Just because some other immigrants, who have no known relation to Mofford, had the same last name as Mofford's parents does not mean that the all came from the same town or even share a common ethnicity.   --Allen3 talk 00:00, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Hariyama

message: I found these sentences "It may end up doing lots of physical damage, but due to its slow speed, special defense, and Fighting type, it is not much more than a big target to Pokémon centered around special attack movesets. Hariyama can support its partner quite well in double battles, though, through moves such as Fake Out and Helping Hand." interesting. If this section of the article's finds merit in mentioning Hariyama's Base 60 SpD., perhaps the article should mention Hariyama's Base 60 Def., considering that Hariyama can't take hits, Physical or Special in the OU Metagame, and still not safely in the UU Metagame. Also of note is Hariyama's Base 144 HP that significantly softens some hits. Furthermore, in all fairness, if the article mentions the fact that Hariyama can "support" its partner in double battles, which is not recommended in true competitive play in the first place, for obvious reasons, it should be noted that Hariyama can quite easily take advantage of a Baton Passed Agility, allowing him, with the correct EV spread, of course, to outspeed anyone in play (NU - OU/Uber) not named Aerodactyl, Jolteon, Electrode, Jumpluff, or Ninjask, which it has a good chance of outspeeding anyhow if they aren't Jolly. After it receives the agility, it can Belly Drum if the circumstances are favorable, allowing it to OHKO anything using the moves Cross Chop and Hidden Power [Ghost], a type combo that no Pokemon resists, with the absolute exception of Lugia running max HP and Defense, which Hidden Power [Ghost] does 75 - 88% to. This strategy's downside is that it is deemed "noobish", which many people believe. Hooray for long sentences. -- The M.P. 22:57, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

This makes no sense: "Charles Poulett Thomson, 1st Baron Sydenham, PC (Waverley Abbey September 13, 1799 – September 19, 1841 Kingston) was the first Governor of the united Province of Canada." ...then... "Sydenham succeeded Lord Durham as Governor of Canada in 1839." Help?

replies: text: The phrasing might be confusing. Sydenham was successor to Durham as Governor General of British North America (and therefore the two Canadas) in 1839. During his mandate, he had the Parliament of Upper Canada and the Special Council of Lower Canada vote for the legislative union of the two provinces into a single united Province of Canada in 1840. Sydenham then became the first Governor of this newly re-united Province of Canada when the constitution entered into force in 1841. -- Mathieugp (talk) 17:45, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

I have a website devoted to the Australian Austin 1800. The website is completely funded by the Landcrab Owners Club Australasia (LOCA) and is dedicated to the Austin 1800.
Although considered by many as an english car, the Austin 1800 was completely built in Zetland, NSW, Australia and had many modifications that differed to the UK model, Morris 1800.
The Rotodip (anti-rust) Process was a unique system and was designed and used on a number of BMC cars and also the Austin 1800 utility in Australia.

Talk:Paulinus of York

message: After the appearance of Paulinus is described, there is the following statement:
Bede probably obtained this description from James the Deacon, one of Paulinus' associates, who still was alive in Bede's time.
Yet in Ecclesiastical History, Bedes plainly states in Chapter XVI that Paulinus' appearance was described to him by Deda of Partney. Is this disputed? Besides, James the Deacon died when Bede was a child, so it's not possible for the description to have come direct from him. Emma May Smith (talk) 14:28, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've edited this a bit to make it clearer that it was probably a chain of transmission in operation - it appears to have come through a number of sources before reaching Bede - Deda probalby got it from James, is the idea. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:44, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Bede says that Deda obtained the description from an old man who was baptized by Paulinus at Tiwulfingchester (Littleborough, Nottinghamshire), so there's no need for James the Deacon to have been involved. I don't know if Bede's account is now disputed, but I don't see why it should be. What does the cited source, Blair World of Bede, actually say? Emma May Smith (talk) 17:10, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  The offending sentence has been removed, that's easier than spending way more time on the sourcing information in the article than the actual length of the description. As an aside, I did double check the information against the cited source for my first reply....the implication that Blair makes is that the information came from James the Deacon ultimately - but he doesn't explictly state so .. so rather than worry about it, it's gone.

thread_title: Edward Reed (artist)

message: This is quite odd.
Hamilton Disston#Disston Land Purchase describes Reed buying two million acres of land in 1881; this article talks at some length about his involvement in Florida railroads. However, his entry in the ODNB doesn't mention anything about this, nor does Who Was Who, or his Times obituary.
In addition, it doesn't quite make sense - the sums of money included are staggeringly large, $600,000 being quoted for the land transaction - and Reed was not an excessively wealthy man. He was a middle-class engineer, albeit a respected one who rose very high in his profession, who died leaving an estate of nineteen thousand pounds. On the other hand, I can't find any sign of a different Sir Edward Reed who could be the financier named in these articles. Are they really the same man? If so, where did the money come from - and why have the historians failed to note these major financial dealings? Shimgray | talk | 17:18, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This is the Google Books version of the cited source, and it seems explicit it's the same man. This is very strange indeed... Shimgray | talk | 17:29, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

text: I've tracked down a couple of articles in the Times which confirm his involvement in the land purchase, though it seems the Diston article slightly misrepresents it - "Reed, representing an English syndicate interested in colonisation, has bought ... The syndicate is constructing a railroad from Fernandina to Cedar Keys." (22/12/81) ; "an English syndicate interested in building railways in Florida, headed by Sir Edward J. Reed" (21/5/83) ; "the Florida Land and Mortgage Company of England, of which the Earl of Huntingdon is chairman and Sir Edward Reed and Captain Gambier, RN, are prominent directors" (15/4/84). So he may not have been the purchaser himself, merely a director of the company involved, and likewise for the railroads - still, it's a strange question as to why the biographers missed it!
