Talk:Benjamin Gompertz

message: There is uncertainty about the spelling of the name. Other sources indicate Gomperts.
We may also note that Louis Gomperts, 19th century vegetarian and founder of the forerunner of the RSPCA, seemed to have used the "s" variant. 
Whatever the case may be, it should be noted that all the variant spellings Gompertz/Gomperts/Gomper/Gompers/etc, are all descendants of Mordechai Gumpel a Rabbi at Emmerich in the second half of the 16th century, whose sons earned the nickname Gumperts. See "Die Familie Gomperz" by Prof. Dr. David Kauffman und Dr Max Freudenthal, Frankfurt am Main, 1907. 
Examination of the family trees extent on the internet show that the branch using the Gomperts spelling were based largely in the Netherlands while the "Gomperz" branch settled for the most part in Prussia and Vienna. Samuel Gompers is known to have had Dutch forebears. The assimilated British branch use the "s" spelling but their relationship to Benjamin Gompert(s)(z) is unknown to me Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 22:34, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Benjamin Ward Richardson

message: I have added a short note concerning the relationship between Snow's and Ward Richardson's  to reflect the current view of medical historians. Together Snow and Ward Richardson substantially created anaesthesiology in the c19th. Modern historians regard Snow's work as the foundation of Ward Richardson's and from his own writings, so did he. I guess Ward Richardson himself would have been dismayed, had he read his posthumous entry in  DNB, to find no reference to his friend; he was a tireless campaigner for Snow's recognition throughout his life

Talk:100 Greatest (TV series)

message: Tonight, "The 100 Greatest TV Ads" was hosted by Miquita Oliver and Nick Grimshaw, not Graham Norton.  It appeared to be exactly the same show as the 2000 version in terms of clips and talking head celebs, except the continuity links had been replaced.  Maquita did mention it was an "update", so maybe some clips were replaced with newer ads.  I can't say for sure as I only caught the last bit of the 3-hour show.

thread_title:  Problems 

message: I've worked on this page for a while - it seems the Kroger corporate page is currently being "enhanced" by folks using it to build the Kroger corporate brand. There are Kroger marketing materials used as references on the Kroger corporate page that have been excised from this page because they were not "objective". 
I feel strongly this biography would ultimately be poorly condensed and "disappear" if it were merged into the Kroger corporate page, consigning Bernard Kroger to greater anonymity. If the Bernard Kroger page stands alone it will allow further additions to his personal biography, separate from the Kroger corporate page. With $119 billion dollars in annual sales, Kroger is the third largest retailer in the US (only 1 billion dollars behind Amazon's $ 120 billion dollars annually).

Talk:Bernhard Caboga-Cerva

message: Please explain why the family name Caboga/Kaboga is repeatedly being reverted to an incorrect name Kabudzic. Additionally no sources are quoted to support this claim. 
Is this original research? Can these claims be verified?
I tried finding a reliable source for the name Kabudzic, but I couldn't find one.
The name Caboga has been established since the 1280's in the Republic of Ragusa(see Irmgard Manhken citation in article House of Caboga, first mention of Caboga documents in the Dubrovnik archives). 
There are no documents where Bernhard Caboga is named Bernhard Kabudzic Crijevic. In his will he is named Bernhard Caboga without Cerva. 
So why is the name Cerva or a Slavic version Crijevic placed to his name? Again I could not verify this information.
Please cite a reliable source for this.
The name in this article should be Bernhard Caboga, the name the man was born with (birth certificate) and the name he died with (will). Nothing else. 
As you might know ( I am pasting the below from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability the Wikipedia Verifiability page):
The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—that is, whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true. Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, or the material may be removed.
Wikipedia:Verifiability is one of Wikipedia's core content policies. The others are Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Jointly, these policies determine the type and quality of material that is acceptable in Wikipedia articles. They should not be interpreted in isolation from one another, and editors should familiarize themselves with all three
The name Kabudzic does not appear in any legal documents (birth or marriage certificates, wills,contracts, ....) or relevant peer-reviwed academic publications in journals and books or on any landmarks (buildings, palaces, tombstones) with relevance to the Caboga family in Dubrovnik.  Additionally the name Kabudzic is not mentioned in any documents in the Dubrovnik archives. 
The city of Dubrovnik has offices and representative halls in the Caboga palace across the street from the Rectors palace. In press releases and documents from the city of Dubrovnik, Kaboga, the croatian rendering of Caboga is used. The Dubrovnik museum also uses the name Kaboga. The Croatian Ministry of Culture in its offical documets also uses the name Kaboga. Croatian historians past and present use the Kaboga version. All the locals also use the name Caboga. There is even a Kaboga ulica (street) in old city of Dubrovnik. 
So where does the name Kabudzic come from?

message: I removed the biography of his great-grandson Dorsey Gardner. Here is the text:
His great-grandson, Dorsey, born in Philadelphia, August 1, 1842, is a grandson of Dr. John Syng Dorsey. He moved to Trenton, New Jersey, in 1854, and entered Yale in 1860, but did not graduate. In 1864-5 he published the "Daily Monitor," a journal established at Trenton in support of the Lincoln administration in the conduct of the war, and with the special purpose of creating public sentiment through New Jersey against the extension of the exclusive privilege of transportation between New York and Philadelphia, which was then possessed by the Camden and Amboy railroad company. In 1866-'8 he was one of the editors and proprietors of the "Round Table," a weekly literary and critical journal published in New York. After spending several months in Europe, he held editorial positions on the "Commercial Advertiser" and the "Christian Union," of New York, until he removed to Florida in 1869. Returning thence to Philadelphia in 1872, he became one of the secretaries of the United States centennial commission, and was charged with the publication of all the official documents relating to the International exhibition of 1876, including its catalogue and eleven volumes of final reports. Subsequently he assisted, in the state department at Washington, in the preparation of the official report on the Paris international exhibition of 1881 by the United States commissioner-general, Richard C. McCormick. He has published "Quatre Bras, Ligny, and Waterloo: a Narrative of the Campaign in Belgium, 1815" (Boston and London, 1882), and "A Condensed Etymological Dictionary of the English Language," a rearrangement, on an etymological basis, of the "American Dictionary of the English Language " of Dr. Noah Webster (Springfield, Massachusetts, and New York, 1884; London, 1886).
