Talk:Erwig

message: His ancestry is perfectly interesting and acceptable for inclusion, but the way Cupertino presents it is (i) hard to follow, probably partly because English appears to be his second language, (ii) too prominent, since it is more interesting than it is informative of Erwig's reign, and (iii) there is no reason to assume that somebody sufficiently interested in Erwig will ignore such a massive footnote (or any footnote for that matter). Srnec (talk) 20:18, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, there is no clear evidence for this genealogy. The Chronicle of Alfonso III (trans. Kenneth Baxter Wolf) states that "in the time of King Chindasuinth, a man by the name of Ardabastus came from Greece--after being expelled from his country by the emperor--crossed the sea, and arrived in Spain. King Chindasuinth received him magnificently and gave to him his niece in marriage. From this union was born a son by the name of Ervig." (Wolf, p. 162). I have been unable to find any mention of Ardabastus' parentage: Murphy in the 1952 Speculum article referenced here writes of Ardobast, "there appears to be no record in the Byzantine history of the time. However, it was natural that he should have sought refuge among the remnants of his fellow nationals in Spain upon being expelled from his native land." (Murphy, 1952, p. 11).Now looking at Athanagild, the helpless child of St. Hermenegild & Ingunthis, we know very little. According to Collins (Early Medieval Spain, 2nd edition [New York: St. Martins, 1995], p. 48), around the time of his defeat & exile Ingund had fled with him to the Byzantines in Carthage; she died en route, but Athanagild became a hostage and was sent to Constantinople; Collins concludes, "despite attempts by his grandmother Queen Brunechildis to have him sent to her in Francia, he remained [in Constantinople] and disappears from view." (Her attempts to have Athanagild sent to her are preserved in the collection of letters known as the Epistulae Austrasiacae.)So what little evidence there is about Ardabastus' background points away from any association with Athanagild: no primary source associates the two; the older lived out his life at Constantinople, while the younger may have come from Byzantine Spain, but clearly was not a native of Greece, let alone Constantinople; even the names do not come from the same language. No source is provided for this connection, although Christian Settipani might have speculated it. If so, then he should be cited; if not, then this genealogy should be removed. Erwig's reign is detailed enough & interesting enough in itself to not need fabrications about his ancestry. -- llywrch (talk) 16:43, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Jewish occupied cities? 

message: More on this ruler exists. What is there is not very accurate. Ardo was the ruler of Septimania in Provence, a remnant of when the Goths entered Spain over the mountains. He was probably the son of Wittiza and with his two brothers betrayed Roderic to the Saracens. Some authors go so far as to say he and they sold Spain to the Moors. His entire reign was probably with permission of the Saracens. They sold Spain because Roderic took most of it away from them. They were the legitimate heirs of Wittiza. Roderic inserted himself when Wittiza died. He was a hated ruler. The Saracens entered Spain, Roderic called on them for assistance, and instead they assisted the Saracens in return for certain lands and privileges, so the Saracen writers say. This article needs someone with real interest in doing the lookups.Dave (talk) 05:47, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Making Democracy Work

message: Some criticism would include that of David I. Kertzer, that Putnam's (and others') focus on pre-1400 Italy to make claims about the 2000s, (almost) without any regard for what happened in between. Moreoever, the authors do not nuance their regions sufficiently, because the Vatican had governed regions like Romagna and Umbria for long periods, which would place them at the same level as the 'Southern regions', following the authors' point. Also, the authors do not appear to evaluate their own data properly, because they do not explain the significant rise in government efficiency of Basilicata for example. D.I. Kertzer, Review of 'Making Democracy Work: Civic Traditions in Modern Italy by Robert D. Putnam; RobertLeonardi; Raffaella Y. Nanetti', The Journal of Modern History 68 1 (1996) 227-228.
Of course there could be more points of criticism, but a small paragraph like this could work just as well. Then the article would be more balanced. 82.217.116.224 (talk) 09:02, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

message: The subject of this article (as the title states) is a dialect of Armenian known as Homshetsi.

The source does not speak of Sirakonak, it speaks of Khodorchur so the link should say Khodorchur.

In addition, I deleted the comment regarding the Daytona 675 as I think it is erroneous to say that “The Triumph Daytona 675 is now considered Triumph's primary Super Sport bike” with the 1050 Speed Triple beating it in horsepower, torque, being comparable in handling, and just as popular as the 675.

Talk:Martyrdom of Polycarp

message: The sentences quoted below appear in the first two paragraphs of the article:
"The Martyrdom of Polycarp is one of the works of the Apostolic Fathers, and as such is one of the very few eyewitness writings from the actual age of the persecutions. ..."
"Though the author of the "Martyrdom of Polycarp" is unknown, the story is recorded by Eusebius, who claims to have received it through a letter addressed to the Church of Philomelium by the Church of Smyrna."
These sentences don't seem consistent. The first sentence claims that is the work of an Apostolic Father and one paragraph later the article claims the authorship is unknown.
The claim in the second paragraph that the author is unknown seems correct. If the Martyrdom of Polycarp was written by an apostolic father presumably it wasn't Polycarp, that leaves Clement or Ignatius. It seems like they would both be dead by the time of the alleged martyrdom of Polycarp. So based on that the claim that the Martyrdom of Polycarp is the work of an Apostolic Father seems unlikely. The later sections of the article add further support for the claim that the author is unknown, therefore it appears that the claim in the first sentence is wrong. --Davefoc (talk) 20:15, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Clement and Ignatius both died before Polycarp. They couldn't be the authors. "Apostolic Fathers" never referred to a set of known authors. All it means is that the included texts were presumably some of the earliest post-apostolic writings in history and so, as the thinking went when the term was coined, their authors received their traditions from apostolic sources. I've noticed you've been editing a lot of AF articles. Might I suggest you read Clayton Jefford's Reading the Apostolic Fathers. It is a nice, basic introduction. Whole Wheat Ιγνάτιος (talk) 17:08, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree with the first post here, calling the Martyrdom of Polycarp "one of the works of the Apostolic Fathers" certainly needs a reference at least.
