Talk:Robert Pollok

message: This article has been carrying a clarification tag regarding the use of "Italy" as a destination for convalescence: "Italy was not unified until 1848-1871, so it should be noted which country that existed at the time he intended to travel to if that information is available". I am removing the tag as the precise political destination seems less than relevant for an invalid, and because the term "Italy" can be seen in use prior to unification, for example in :Jonathan Richardson's "An Account of Some of the Statues, Bas-Reliefs, Drawings, and Pictures in Italy".

Talk:Robert Raikes (1765–1837)

message: The Raikes mausoleum is one such and, for this reason, of particular interest. His son, yet another Robert Raikes, married Eleanor Catherine Puget. His other son, Thomas married Elizabeth Armstrong (from Ireland).  She died at the age of 27 years and was interred in the vault beneath the mausoleum. Also buried in the vault in lead shells are...Robert (1765-1837), his wife Anne (nee Williamson); and Eleanor Catherine Raikes (nee Puget)((Roberts first wife)) along with 2 baby sized coffins, (possibly stillbirths as this was very common in the 19th century).
In 1960 the vault under the mausoleum was broken in to, the two baby lead coffins were forced open and that of Elizabeth Raikes (nee Armstrong) ((Thomas's first wife)).  Her skull was stolen and found near Hessle foreshore.  A police investigation and HM Coroners inquest ensured that her skull was laid back to rest in its rightful place.
Soon after that, the vault deep beneath the mausoleum was permanently sealed with rubble and concrete. The then land owner Sir Basil Parkes kindly helped fund this.
The land on which the mausoleum lies was consecrated by the Church of England in 1822. Alongside the mausoleum is Welton Dale burial ground where residents of the parish had the right of burial.  This new burial ground did not prove popular with locals, probably due to its distance from the village.  Burials continued in St Helen's churchyard until 1883; when a new burial ground was opened in Common Lane, Welton and is still in use today.
I've rewritten some of this, and I think there was too much macabre detail - but a source is still needed.Mddkpp (talk) 22:18, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Richard E. Nisbett

message: In this article (criticism in bold): 
The book reviewed extensive favorable attention in the press and from some fellow academics; for example, University of Pennsylvania psychologist Daniel Osherson wrote that the book was a "hugely important analysis of the determinants of IQ". On the other hand, more critical reviewers argued that the book failed to grapple with the strongest evidence for genetic factors in individual and group intelligence differences.
At the book article itself (non-critical content in bold): 
Writing for The New York Times, philosopher Jim Holt described the book as "a meticulous and eye-opening critique of hereditarianism." The book was criticized by prominent hereditarians J. Philippe Rushton and Arthur Jensen in a 2010 paper. In their paper, Rushton and Jensen concluded that, contrary to Nisbett's conclusions, racial differences in IQ and other life history traits exist, and that "The group differences are between 50 and 80% heritable." Psychologist Earl B. Hunt reviewed the book in the journal Intelligence, stating that "Nisbett is a very good writer, but he is a combative writer", and while "Nisbett is writing for a general audience" and "does so very well", Hunt argues that "Nisbett...goes too far in attacking discussions of the genetics of intelligence", that Nisbett's argument against the genetic origins of racial and ethnic differences was weakened by citing research on parenting practices without "[considering] the possibility that these practices may themselves be influenced by the parental genotype", and that Nisbett repeatedly attributed positions to unnamed "experts" without citation. Hunt concluded that "Presenting scientific findings, including controversies, to the general public is an honorable and important endeavor. In my opinion that goal is better served if the writer is specific about who said what, where, and is careful not to overstate his or her case." Another unfavorable review of the book published in Personality and Individual Differences by psychologist James J. Lee also concluded that "Nisbett's arguments are consistently overstated or unsound" with regard to the heritability and mutability of IQ and racial differences in IQ.

message: In this edit from 17 July 2019, someone (who has no other edits) inserted a big chunk of text into the Academic research section. The text is the same that is in the biography of English on the Bristol University website and also on many other websites. It's possibly a copyright violation if that text was copied from an outside source to Wikipedia. The text is also not a good fit in the article as such, so I'll remove it. The university bio could be used as a source to readd some of the information into the article. kyykaarme (talk) 11:19, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

thread_title: The Braes of Balquhidder

message: The Tune and words for Erin Go Bragh are often attributed as an Irish folk song about the 1916 uprising, but the tune was in fact written by Robert Tannahill after the Irish Rebellion at the time of the Napoleonic wars. The original was about a man from Argyll visiting Edinborough (Auld Reekie) and being mistaken for an Irishman, and his mistreatment. 
https://mainlynorfolk.info/folk/songs/eringobragh.html
While the version about the 1916 uprising has a completely different set of words, I think it would be really important to remember Robert Tannahill as the originator of the this tune as part of his contribution to folk music and lyrics. I think this part of aural history is worth remembering, and Robert Tannahill's part in it is very much underrated.  This tune should therefore be mentioned in this wiki.
Personally I prefer Tannahill's words (in as much as we figure those out) as they are specifically about racism and discrimination made all the more poignant because his main protaganist is not even Irish.

thread_title:  Icelandic people 

message: Where on earth do these numers come from? 50.000 Icelanders in America? I think this should be confirmed or removed. I have to admit, also, I fail to see this article's raison d'être. If you look at the definition givien in the entry for ethnicity you'll see that there is a presupposition regarding mutual recognition, i.e. the members of the group must identify with each other; but I don't think Icelanders identify with any foreign citizens as being Icelanders in virtue of belonging to the same ethnic group. Nor, indeed, do they even identify themselves as an ethnic group at all. To be an Icelander is to be an Icelandic citizen and vice versa. Could we perhaps get verification that they do in fact identify as an ethic group? And also that foreign people would be included? If no such verification can be found, I will probably suggest that the article be deleted on account of being (a) unverifiable, and (b) containing original research. --D.
