Talk:Thomas Shelton (translator)

message: Any chance this man is related to the Sheltons of the shipwrecked Sea Venture? Jahiliyyah 22:17, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Relationship

message: Other than Wright's (perfectly reasonable) claim in 1898, where is the evidence that Shelton was English? The overwhelming amount of evidence today indicates that he was an Irishman from Dublin. The Dictionary of National Biography says he 'was probably the third of seven sons of Henry Shelton (d. c.1605), a Dublin merchant imprisoned in 1596 for refusing to take the oath of supremacy when he was elected sheriff, and his wife Margaret, the sister of Peter Nangle, guardian of the Franciscan convent at Armagh, and thorn in the side of the authorities. He was more than 'acquainted with the "cries of the wild Irish,"' being by all accounts one of them and was certainly not 'honestly employed in carrying letters to persons in England from Lord Deputy Fitzwilliam'. His connections with Richard Nugent- son of the poet, traitor and erstwhile rebel, William Nugent- are well documented, as is his role on the side of Aodh Mór Ó Néill against the English during the Nine Years War. Indeed, in 1597 there is a 'Thomas Shelton, Dublinensis' listed as a student in Salamanca, a fact which further links the translator to Dublin. Does anybody have any objection to my coming back and editing this accordingly some day? 193.1.172.163 14:53, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fundamentally flawed

message: I've just removed the sentence from the article, "He is also apparently the Thomas Shelton who developed an early system of shorthand, published in 1626 with the title Short Writing, later reissued as Tachygraphy;  this system was used by Samuel Pepys to write his diary."
No, he was not, and this sentence brought in by a user in 2006 only seems to be a wrong private hypothesis. According to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (2004), p. 221–223, the shorthand inventor Thomas Shelton and the Don Quixote translator Thomas Shelton were two different persons. They also were provably of different ages, because the 1647 edition of Thomas Shelton's shorthand instruction Tachygraphy gives its author's age as forty-six, so he must have been born in 1600/01 - at this time the Don Quixote translator Thomas Shelton must have already been grown up.

Talk:NYX (comics)

message: Moved from article until all the original research and claims can be verified by external sources:
:"The theme of NYX was far different than many Marvel comics, as it circled more of the dramatic and violent genre. It was praised for its street feel; the ghetto, hard gore, drug use, gangs, prostitutes, racism, urban life, single moms, drug dealing kids, pimp beatings, homeless kids, raves, etc. Not only that but it had a film-like quality to it, almost like Sin City (comics) Sin City. It was obvious that NYX was not for the young generation that would usually read Marvel, which is why the series was cancelled."
There are also some weasel words there that should be removed... --Fritz S. (Talk) 22:20, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Hadrian the Seventh

message: Not sure about the category 'science fiction novels'. It's an alternative history or recent future novel, certainly, but there's nothing in it which suggests a technology or general world-view any different to the period in which Rolfe was writing. I haven't removed the category, in case others agree with it, but I personally don't think the novel comes under that definition. Cenedi 22:44, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Alternate history novels are a subcat of Speculative fiction, which is presumably what is meant by "science fiction" here. I agree (although I recall some tech advances in passing.) Septentrionalis 15:54, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Then what the heck do we call it? It was clearly not an ordinary political novel, even in its time. There is no subcategory of "heirophantic fantasy", although other such novels do exist. I am tentatively restoring the category until we can discuss it.--Orange Mike 18:53, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Call it "political fantasy". I have read the novel. It’s not alternate history, as it doesn’t have as its plot that something different happened before 1904 to change history up to 1904 (and beyond); rather the action is contemporary (to 1904) or near-future. (I believe uchronia.net has a thorough definition of what is considered alternate history, and I don’t think the novel is in its database.)  4.255.202.202 19:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The mote code for TinyOS is indeed in nesC, which is not standard C. The mode code is really the main part of the suite, and it's the peripheral utilities included in TinyOS installations that are written in Java and scripting languages, so my vote is on replacing "C" with "nesC". -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 19:37, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: When was this book published?

message: Did Johnny Depp really "discover" the book amongst Thompson's papers, as the article states in the beginning?
In the documentary Back Story of The Rum Diary it seems more like Hunter S. Thompson thought about making it into a film while in the process of publishing it. Then he started working on the development and deals straight after the publishing of the book in 1998. That's when his friend Johnny Depp joined in. It’s hardly a "discovery amongst the papers" when the book was already out there in the book stores.
But I’m happy to hear more details and be proven wrong. MoryVanderbuilt (talk) 10:35, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

message: Regarding the edits you made, All Hallow's Wraith (talk) : A. I don't agree with what you did and could not find anything in the Wikipedia Style Manual to support your claims that tables are always at the bottom of articles. B. There is a reason why the music was placed at the bottom, as this is not his main career. C. The personal information and other activities is also at the bottom because they are not the primary focus of the article. D. Removing bullets on two non-related items and consolidating them into one paragraph reduces legibility and connects two unconnected events. E. I would have appreciated a Talk discussion about all of these things before you went and pretty much changed the whole page.

message: It seems the entire "History" section of this article was completely replaced at some point within the past year. Another website has appeared to have directly pulled the text from the previous Wikipedia entry in 2008 . I am proposing this text be restored, along with the links intact. The reason for this request is the text that was replaced uses better language and is written in a way that adheres more properly to Wikipedia's guidelines. The current text, as has been pointed out, does not cite references and is completely biased, almost reading like a press release from a record label.

On the contrary: By profit we normally refer to "normal profit", a situation where the opportunity cost of input factors, including own labour and capital, equals the profit. The "abnormal profit" on the other hand, exceeds the opportunity costs of input factors and reflects some kind of market failure making this possible. The different properties of the active market failure characterise the type of abnormal profit. I think this article should be extended rather than deleted. Absolutely. --Arnejohs 22:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
