Category talk:Theatre by country

message: Please see the discussion of this at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2005 October 10.  The question is should the by-country subcats of this category pertain to the topic of theatre within a national boundary regardless of the style (implying "theatre in nation" naming would be appropriate) or should these subcats pertain more broadly by culture or language (implying "nationality theatre" naming would be more appropriate).  -- Rick Block (talk) 14:45, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

text: I agree, the simple performance of a work in a country does not remove its nationality. Romeo and Juliet is still an English play whether it is performed in the United Kingdom or Iran. A Toulouse-Lautrec painting is still French if it is hanging in an American museum. Or Beethoven performed in South Africa is still German music. Even though with theatre, the presentation may be different depending on the country (Juliet wearing a burqua in Iran for example), the essence of the play is still English.*Exeunt* Ganymead 17:02, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:American rule (attorney's fees)

message: Prior to October 8, 2005, this article said:
"The American rule is a rule of statutory construction whereby the court first look to the language of the statute (plain meaning). If the language is unclear or ambiguous, or if the result of using the plain meaning would lead to unreasonable results, the court turns to the Mischief rule, whereby the court determines the legislative intent of a statute to determine how to interpret it in the context of a particular case."
I guess this is what the link from Plain Meaning Rule was referring to. However, on the date mentioned, a user changed the article to what it is now, saying that the previous text was wrong as the American Rule was not a rule of statutory construction. It seems as if there are two "American Rules," and I propose defining both of them here (a disambiguition page would not be necessary, given the modest length of both definitions so far).
—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 132.180.252.57 (talk • contribs).
:Yes, there appear to be two, and for each one there is also a corresponding "British Rule" to contrast with. In particular, the "Golden" or "British" rule of plain-meaning statutory construction contrasts with the "American" rule of legislative intent, whereas the "British" rule of loser-pays attorneys' fees contrasts with the "American" rule of each-side-pays. --Delirium 12:31, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

message: An "English rule" and corresponding "American rule" are also recognized in landlord-tenant law.  See Hannan v. Dusch, 153 S.E. 824 (Virginia 1930) which favored the American rule: by default, landlord has no duty to evict prior tenants before leasing to a new tenant.

If you look at the french language version of the article it identifies the mother dying in 1786 and internment in Mid December (15th) which means that he would have been five and not six.

No, numismatics doesn't really cover electronic currency because it's not a physical object. Economics studies the flow of currency as a matter of trade but not the coin of the realm. Numismatics studies the physical object that is currency, but not barter.  Coins, paper money, and other fiat currencies are elements of material culture.  In all of human history until now, currency has been a physical object so it's hard to say if numismatics will ever include non-physical currency. Chris Troutman (talk) 12:37, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Trial of the Pyx

message: There is a claim referenced in an FT article that Isaac Newton was punished after the 1696 trial.  However, Newton became Master of the Mint in 1699.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kvom01 (talk • contribs) 19:08, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

message: A pyx is normally a small box not a chest.
And there is no reason to suggest that they or any such boxes or chests were or are made of boxwood.
The boxes kept at Westminster were both chests and pyxes. Large chests for keeping large quantities of coin, and the small pyxes for carrying the samples for inspection.
In a church a pyx is used to store wafers.
The word pyx derives from the ancient Greek for fist, which gives some idea of size. Pyx, via its Latin variant bux, is incidentally the root of our English word box. Perhaps that's how 'boxwood' got into the text?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.5.14.176 (talk) 12:40, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

replies: text:  okay, several things to untangle here. First, WP:ONUS discusses article facts, not their sources. (Hint: the preceding section, starting at WP:QS is where sources are discussed.) The cite template doc pages aren't policy and don't dictate what's needed. In fact, those templates may be recommended but they are not required. A WorldCat inclusion is definitely not needed. Are you sure you looked beyond WorldCat before you concluded you couldn't fix it? More to the point: do not revert inclusions just because you suspect them. Either you want to assert the reference is a bad one, or please assume good faith and allow it. Please keep in mind that reverting the works of others just because you have a hunch, and/or can't be bothered to do a more thorough check, is not the definition of good faith.  Anyway, do remember: I added this source as a third one. I added this third one because I found the two existing ones to be of mediocre quality. Perhaps not of removably low quality (and I did not remove them), but certainly I expected the addition of a third source to be welcomed, not challenged.

As a result of this exercise, the error on the Lonsdale entry in the University History website has been corrected - it now clearly states that the College is not named after the town.
