thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: Which would be sad, if not for Rimsky-Korsakov's 23 May 1880 letter to Stasov:
The translation is David Brown's; the bolding is mine. This seems to indicate clearly that the score of the Glorification of Chornobog is the same manuscript as that of the Dream Vision of the Peasant Lad, and that Musorgsky simply entered his few changes into the pre-existing autograph (to the ending, which would be necessary to incorporate the theme from the Parubok's dumka in C-sharp Phrygian and Mixolydian). The summer at Oranienbaum would be where Musorgsky would do his final work on Khovanshchina, finishing Acts III and IV and making some progress in Act V. (He appears to have treated Act II as finished, and indeed as it stands it conforms to his initial plan for its ending quite well – but with a single D2 instead of a chord.)

Talk:Loreley (opera)

message: The description of the synopsis of this opera sounds very weird, as if copied and pasted from somewhere without ever looking whether the grammar makes any sense. The description of Act 1 currently ends on this sentence: "Having learned from the engagement Herman Walter, Loreley catches the Rhine and into a nymph." What???

I'm fairly relaxed about this, but I think that the English-language names should be first (this is EL WP), with the German in brackets. Of course, as you imply, they aren't actually names, just descriptions or occupations - cf Rusalka, most of the characters in Il piccolo Marat, Friedenstag, Wozzeck, Die Frau ohne Schatten, etc.  I notice that German translations also appear in the FrOSch article (English first, though) and there are some links in Rusalka (surely "The Duchess" should be "The Foreign Princess"?).  --GuillaumeTell 16:47, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Scioto Company

message: I discovered today during a Google search that when someone searches for The Scioto Company, the company which bought millions of acres of Ohio land before it became a state and resold them to settlers, they instead get a description of the French-based Scioto Land Company, which sold land not owned by themselves for purposes of defrauding French people. The former company was founded in Connecticut in 1802 by 38 upstanding citizens, including my ancestor, Dr. Jonas Stanbery, a New York City physician. This man was anything but a huckster, in fact taking almost anything in trade for land, thereby assisting those with limited means in acquiring land in Ohio.
There need to be TWO pages: 1) The Scioto Company, describing the company founded 1802 in Connecticut; 2) the Scioto Land Company (this appears to have been its name?) describing the company founded 1787 in France, with an American legal representative. The latter page needs to be moved to a new link ending in Scioto_Land_Company, leaving Scioto_Company for the American company of upstanding and reputable founders.

message: Notable descendants of Adrian Scrope include Professor Charles W. Woodworth, General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, Medal of Honor winner Lieutenant General Arthur MacArthur, and California Institute of Technology benefactor Amos G. Throop.
This has been removed because no evidence has been found that these persons mentioned are descended from the regicide, who disappears with his descendants from English history.  The sole "evidence" is a family history created by some of the alleged descendants.

thread_title: Alleged descendants of regicide Adrian Scroope or Scrope

message: * External links (to which I moved the family website genealogy and added the stirnet genealogy
Also changed descendants to focus on notable 20th (and 21st century) descendants of some note (as in having considerable press coverage). While not deserving of their own entries perhaps, these scions continue to make their own names. Also added note on headship of the house, with related aristocratic alliances.
Changed the beginning of the history somewhat using new research (have to find that link) which points out that no relationship has been currently documented between the 11th century Scropes of the Welsh marches and the 12th-13th century Scropes in Yorkshire. (A relationship may exist, but has not been found). Too much of the narrative here relies on Burke's Peerage of the 19th century (which contains many forged pedigrees and faulty narratives). I am drawing upon criticism of those pedigrees by modern genealogists who are going over each link (father to son, mother to daughter) looking for documentary evidence from abbey charters, royal charters, chancery rolls, etc. Such research is reported on soc.genealogy.medieval and less publicly available mailing lists. 
Also added many notes (too many?) pointing to relationships (or alleged relationships) or debunking claims of the same for the early Scropes.
My background: was seriously interested in this family, and compiled a modern genealogy of the family based on Burke's Landed Gentry 1965 and more recent sources, as well as Internet searches for current members.

Talk:Scutage

message: This term, denoting a draftee’s act of paying someone else to fight in the draftee’s place, was probably not used in the United States—but the process was.  
I have this information from oral history provided by my father, Robert S. Hatcher. He was a Naval Academy graduate (Class of 1924) who served as a Naval Aviator & aeronautical engineer until retirement as a Rear Admiral in 1955.  My father didn’t personally know his paternal grandfather, who had died suddenly in his sleep.  My dad’s father, still a boy, was left an orphan—his mother having died some years prior.  (My father would lose his father in the great influenza pandemic of 1917-1919, when my dad was a teenager.)
The story dates to the Civil War, when President Abraham Lincoln instituted what I believe was the first military draft in American history.  My father passed to me the story his father had told him:  that his grandfather had paid someone to take his place in Lincoln’s army.  That he had this option suggests that “scutage” was practiced in this country as in England.  I don’t know if it was an officially accepted practice or if it took place sub rosa.  My dad clearly felt contempt regarding it.

Talk:Distinction (book)

message: I'm moving the paragraph about the movie Titanic, because as written, it has little or nothing to do with the book, La Distinction, about which this article is supposed to be written.  It may play off some of the ideas Bourdieu wrote about in this book, but it is not clear how and examples from the book itself would be far more appropriate.  One should not illustrate the main idea of a book by using an example from a book published forty years later that may or may not cite the original.
Example: Titanic (1997)
La Distinction has influenced academics working in different disciplines. For example, one can explain the negative reputation of the film Titanic (1997, Cameron) as a backlash from the film's own popularity and from its position within popular culture. In his British Film Institute monograph, David Lubin compares attitudes against the film directly to the main thesis of La Distinction. He suggests that derisory attitudes towards the film exhibit a desire to disassociate the critic from fanatics who reportedly attended multiple screenings, and from coverage in tabloids and teen magazines focusing on the two main stars.

thread_title:  move paragraph 

message: Isn't it a remarkable and fun - if not worrying - fact that Paglia's verdict on Bordieu's La Distinction, which at any rate nullifies the view of the International Sociological Association on Bordieu, has the last word - at least temporarily - of this article on Taste Being Dominated by Social Classes with sufficient Cultural Capital?
Suggestion:
In 2007 the feminist journalist Camille Paglia expressed agreement with Bourdieu's conclusion that taste depends on changing social assumptions, but suggested that it should have been obvious, and dismissed Distinction. In 1998 the International Sociological Association voted Distinction as one of the ten most important sociology books of the 20th century, behind Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann's The Social Construction of Reality (1966), but ahead of Norbert Elias' The Civilizing Process (1939). Haegar's (talk) 13:47, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Second sight

message: I've performed some radical surgery on the article, since so much of it was hopelessly out of date and in a style that's inappropriate for Wikipedia. Just because we can use a particular out-of-copyright source doesn't mean we should. There's been a century of research since the Britannica article, and the factual content and style of writing are out of date. I still hope this article can be replaced with a redirect to Extra-Sensory Perception, but recognise there wasn't a clear consensus for this in particular. MartinPoulter (talk) 15:45, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the old material was out of date and inappropriately styled, but there was some interesting material there, and the current article is so short as to practically be a stub. I would really appreciate if some expert (or just knowledgeable person) in the matter could expand and fill out the article a bit. Some explanation/history of the term in its Celtic context would be useful. It is my understanding that the term "Second Sight" is quite specifically a Celtic one (perhaps limited to Scotland and Ireland,) dealing with precognition or the ability to see the fairies/spirits/the dead. (No mention of those in the article.) How a person obtains the sight ought also to be discussed; if I recall correctly, being born with a piece of the caul on one's head or the 7th son of a 7th son are supposed to work, but I am hardly a source! The bit on Ancient Greece seems somewhat extraneous, as the Greeks were likely not using the Celtic concept.I think it would be better to have some examples from Celtic folklore or mythology. (The older versions of the article did do this; perhaps one of those examples could be re-written to meet quality standards and re-included.) --Heather  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.32.249.54 (talk) 11:57, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Segrave

message: His son and heir, Gilbert de Segrave (d. 1254), who was also a judge, died in prison at Pons in France, whither he had gone to fight for Henry III. Gilbert was the father of Nicholas de Segrave, 1st Baron Segrave, who was one of the partisans of Simon de Montfort; he led the Londoners at the battle of Lewes, and was a member of Earl Simon's famous parliament of 1265. He was wounded at the battle of Evesham, and was afterwards among those who defied the royal authority in the Isle of Ely. Soon, however, he obtained terms of peace, and went to the Holy Land with his future sovereign, Edward I. In 1283 he was summoned to parliament as a baron, and he served the king in various ways. He had six sons, three of whom, John (who succeeded him), Nicholas and Gilbert (bishop of London from 1313 until his death in December 1316), were men of note.
Nicholas the younger (ca. 1260-1322) was summoned to parliament in 1295, and was present at the battle of Falkirk and at the siege of Caerlaverock Castle. In 1305 he was found worthy of death for deserting the English army in Scotland and for crossing over to France in order to fight a duel with Sir John de Cromwell; he was, however, pardoned, and again served Edward I. in Scotland. Under Edward II, Nicholas, who was one of Piers Gaveston's few friends, was made marshal of England, but lost this office definitely in 1316. Later he associated himself with Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. Through marriage he obtained the manor of Stowe in Northamptonshire, and, he is generally called Lord of Stowe.</blockquote>
