Talk:William Feilding, 1st Earl of Denbigh

message: Not sure about the sentence that suggests after Buckingham's assassination Denbigh had little to do so travelled halfway across the world. His inclination to travel to India seems to have been borne by curiosity and eccentricity. The MacIntyre source states the following: 
Susan Villiers, Countess of Denbigh, sister of the favorite [Buckingham,…continued to have access to both the king and the queen independently even after [his] assassination…in 1628…. [She] kept alive the Villiers patronage network in both Privy Council and Household
Also, some clarity on the journey and when he went to Persia? It seems Denbigh went to Persia before going to India in the capacity of an envoy as per the 1631 portrait.https://mpese.ac.uk/t/CharlesLetterShahSafi1630.html Gaelicbow (talk) 13:45, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I will have another look at the sources, but my understanding was that the north of India was ruled by the Persian Shah at that time so the references to persia are also referring to india. So it was one territory. But may be wrong! Atrapalhado (talk) 14:11, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: I re-read the article by Jean McIntyre - it seems he did get to visit the Great Moghul ruler of India but he did not meet the Shah of Persia, though that was the plan. He travelled to Persia by ship on his return from India but was only there for 5 weeks which would not have  allowed time to visit the Shah's court and the Shah was anyway on military campaign.Atrapalhado (talk) 14:11, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Knox

message: I know this is the subject of a major edit war over this page, one that I have stayed out of. Personally I don't care if Robert Benfer is included or not. I reverted a couple attempts to wipe the disambiguation page to show nothing but him, and have seen him added and deleted dozens of times by now. The way I see it though, if he's going to be on the page (as he has been for a week or two now), he should be added properly.  Some points in favor of keeping him, his site is the #3 result for "Knox" on Google, and he has an imdb profile.  I know there have been votes against him in the past, and his would-be entries in Wikipedia have all been deleted and protected against being added, but as I see it, leaving him on this list would at least stave off the edit wars and vandalism this page gets. Note also I am not unilaterally adding him (as he was already here), I simply put  the entry in the correct place with the correct formatting. -Nakamura2828 20:34, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Great Chamberlain is English 

message: According to Cockaine's Complete Peerage, the century earlier 1867 edition of Anderson's Scottish Nation, Haydn's Book of Dignities (1851) and elsewhere, James, 2nd Lord Crichton (d.1454) he was appointed Great Chamberlain of Scotland in 1440 until his death. There seems to be no doubt that Lord Livingstone spent a couple of years during that time in this position although given that the next Great Chamberlain took office in 1454 this seems to lend some credence to Crichton's position as that is his year of death. Moreover, the Exchequer Rolls are cited as evidence, yet their list ends in 1406. 2A00:23C4:B617:7D01:B540:9D6A:82D7:9C36 (talk) 09:37, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Talk:The Meeting School

message: Hi!  The new sections on Philosophy, Academic program, and Farm program provide some great information.  However, they do read quite a lot like marketing for the school - like they're from a brochure or something.  They really should be cleaned up a bit for a neutral point of view.  Reading through them, though, I was struck by the bit in the Philosophy section - "We are called to seek and to live with divine guidance both individually and collectively."  If it isn't already, I was thinking this would be a great quote to put on the page as a quote.  If it's not a quote, though, it probably needs to be deleted.
Anyway, thanks for the work on it - and let me know if I can help more than little cleanup edits :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 20:42, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Hortus Malabaricus

message: Which is  “the first instance of Malayalam type being used for printing” may be disputed.  Robin Jeffrey says that, Benjamin Bailey, founder of the Church Missionary Society press in Kottayam in 1821, was less flamboyant, but cut the first Malayalam types in Kerala, built a wooden press to complement the original press imported from Britain and compiled an English-Malayalam dictionary  and According to Bishop Thomas Mar Themotheos, president, Kerala Auxiliary of the Society, the history of Malayalam bible is closely linked to the evolution of Malayalam printing and print language and even the evolution of the script. The first four books of the New Testament were translated into Malayalam in the early 19th century. In the absence of Malayalam fonts, one of the translators, Thimmappilla, had to go all the way to Bombay to cast Malayalam fonts. He completed the printing in 1811. Again, Dr. Bailey had to create his own wooden press to print his version of the Gospel according to Mathew in 1825.   Perhaps, these two are not contradictory at all ( Bailey cut it in Kerala, Thimmappilla did it from Bombay)  Wikipedia article has a dubious assertion that The first work published in Europe on Malayalam is Alphabetum grandonico-malabaricum sive samscrudonicum, published in 1772. The types were prepared by Clemente Peani, while the references given in the article do not say anything about “types”.  But the fact that Malayalam types were not used in the printing of Hortus Malabaricus should be obvious.  The Malayalam letters were printed in it using the same technique used for printing skethes of leaves and flowers.  One will have to go to a museum in Netherlands to see the plates.  I will ask anyone from India who is supporting this claim to atleast visit the Sreemoolam Library, Thiruvannathapuram, look at the original book preserved there and apply some common sense.  The editor who has inserted this does not understand what a movable type is and has either misquoted from a book or does not know what a reliable source is.

thread_title:  The first instance of Malayalam type being used for printing 

message: I am genuinely puzzled about the 'common belief' in Kerala about types being used for the first time for the book Hortus Malabaricus The subtitle says that plant names are given in 'Latinas, Malabaricis, Arabicis, Brachmanum', which are Latin. Malayalam, Arabic and probably Sanskrit or Brahmi, respectively. Yes, you will find names of each plant in these four languages, engraved, by hand, on the plates themselves. I have added a scanned copy of the book as external link to the main article. if there are no clinching evidence, the point about movable type being cast in Amsterdam for the first time in Malayalam need to be corrected Weblogan 09:05, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Death date 

message: There seems to be a HUGE mix up as to who Marguerite de la Pole is on Wiki. I have several pages that just lead me into a frenzy. First we have Marguerite as the daughter of this Sir Richard, son of the 2nd Earl of Suffolk, who had Marguerite de la Pole by Richard's mistress, Margaret of Sicily. This IS correct, HOWEVER, the Sir Richard listed as being the father of Marguerite was actually the son of Sir John, 2nd DUKE of Suffolk by Elizabeth of York, Duchess of Suffolk. The second Duke is the eldest son of William de la Pole, 1st Duke of Suffolk and Alice Chaucer. This is the excerpt from Douglas Richardson's books, Plantagenet Ancestry and Magna Carta:
