Talk:Matthias I, Duke of Lorraine

message: According to this article, as I found it:
His mother was Adelaide (d.1158), daughter of Gerard of Supplinburg, count of Querfort, and sister of the Emperor Lothair II.
However, another source says that his mother Adelaide was a different person--dauther of Baldwin II of HAINAUT. (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jamesdow/s086/f003067.htm)
Therefore I am going to remove this discrepency in hopes that I (or someone) can find certainty.

thread_title:  Merge? 

message: The article reads:
:Its shape is that of a cylindroid with between four and twenty flattened triangular facets, each numbered. Each triangular face alternates in alignment about 180 degrees.
But it is nothing like a cylindroid as described in that article (elliptical cross section!), and the alternation of the faces is not about 180 degrees; it is (if this description is good at all - I'm not sure about that) exactly 180 degrees.--Nø (talk) 11:45, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Description of shape 

message: Reviewing some of the comments on nomenclature above, I have a suggestion. There is a long history of oblong dice with rectangular sides, usually square in section, sometimes octagonal, occasionally other. There is not one consistent term in the literature for these, but my sense is that the best is "long dice" (this is what Parlett uses). I take "barrel dice" to be a distinct term for more modern oblong dice with triangular sides. If this is right, then probably the best organization for this article would be to rename it "Long dice", meaningfully expand the coverage of traditional (prismatic) long dice, and include "Barrel dice" as a subtype in its own subsection. If others agree, I can start working on the expansion (I'll probably do it mostly off-line, so change may be sudden)... no point in moving the page until after that. Thoughts?

Talk:Faustina the Elder

message: According to historian Frank McLynn, there is evidence suggesting that Antoninus Pius had a troubled marriage with Faustina. This is according to the Historia Augusta (Antoninus 3.6) and The Caesars by Julian.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.147.120.175 (talk) 16:22, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Right, the Historia Augusta claims that the divine Faustina had a lascivious disposition, and the divine Antoninus Pius sometimes had difficulty reining her in. This is one of those areas where the Historia Augusta (a) uses a familiar trope that was also used to discredit many other powerful ancient women and (b) flies in the face of what other evidence is available (e.g. the fact that Antoninus held Faustina up as a model woman in her lifetime and afterwards).

message: 1. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drusilla_(daughter_of_Agrippa_I)
"Josephus states that they had a son named Marcus Antonius Agrippa and a daughter Antonia Clementiana. Their son perished together with his mother, Drusilla, in Mount Vesuvius in 79." [note 7: "Mentioned in Josephus, Jewish Antiquities, xx.7.2, and in a lost section of the work."]
2. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Vesuvius
"Along with Pliny the Elder, the only other noble casualties of the eruption to be known by name were Agrippa (a son of the Jewish princess Drusilla and the procurator Antonius Felix) and his wife." [note 29 "Mentioned in Josephus, Jewish Antiquities, xx.7.2, and in a lost section of the work."]
3. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonius_Felix
"Felix and the Judean Drusilla, had a son, Marcus Antonius Agrippa, who died along with his [whose?] wife in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius." [this one has no documentation]

message: We have given Adams's thesis title as 
"On special sequences of self-obstruction invariants" .
This follows the two external links: O'Connor-Robertson and the Math. Genealogy Project.  Nevertheless I think the correct title is that given in the London Math. Soc. obituary (James-Wall): 
"On spectral sequences and self-obstruction invariants" 
which makes much better sense and corresponds with the description of the contents of the thesis given in that obituary article. 
Any views?

*The term used in the APG system, the basis of flowering plant classification in the English Wikipedia, is "eudicots".
*Google searches, for what they are worth, show about 8,900 hits for "eudicotyledon" and 1,190,000 for "eudicots", so the WP:COMMONNAME is clearly "eudicots".

Talk:Harper's Weekly

message: There has been a back-and-forth between me and another about Thomas Nast being the originator of the overly exaggerated political caricature. It was cited that Daumier and Cruikshank were earlier caricaturists — but not on the order of Nast. And they were feriners, Nast really represented the American political scene. There is not as much exaggereated flair in their cartooning as was depicted by Nast and is now a popular style of political caricaturization. Magi Media 14:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  About Thomas Nast 

message: Harper's Weekly was not unusual among American publications of its day in its racial attitudes; it wasn't Der Stürmer, although a reader unfamiliar with the subject might get that impression from the visual evidence in our article. The jpg depicting comparative profiles in particular is a problem, as its provenance is uncertain; the image documentation alleges that it comes from Harper's Weekly (no year specified) and from a book by H. Strickland Constable,  Ireland from One or Two Neglected Points of View, 1899. According to worldcat, Strickland Constable's book was published in 1888 and possibly again in 1899. The illustration is reproduced on
page 146 of George Bornstein's  book Material modernism: the politics of the page (Cambridge University Press, 2001) with a caption that says that it comes from Strickland Constable's book. Elsewhere on page 146, Harper's Weekly is mentioned as the source of the Thomas Nast illustration (figure 31) printed on page 147; perhaps this caused the confusion.

Talk:News Corp Australia

message: The following paragraph is WRONG.  When Murdoch/News owned TV stations ( mid 1970s to late 1980s ),  the "cross-media ownership law" was not in existence.    The old law was,  nobody could own more than 2 TV stations, therefore it was not possible to own a national network of stations in all major cities.   The Fairfax newspaper company owned 2 stations ( 7 in Sydney and Brisbane ) and the HWT newspaper business also owned 2.   Those TB stations were owned in the cities where they had papers.   Murdoch also owned 2 stations in the cities where he had papers.   The "cross-media ownership law" was introduced after Murdoch sold out his TV stations in Australia.
Murdoch's desire for dominant cross-media ownership manifested early—in 1961 he bought an ailing Australian record label, Festival Records, and within a few years it had become the leading local recording company. He also bought a television station in Wollongong, New South Wales, hoping to use it to break into the Sydney television market, but found himself frustrated by Australia's cross-media ownership laws, which prevented him from owning both a major newspaper and television station in the same city. Since then he has consistently lobbied, both personally and through his papers, to have these laws changed in his favour. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.107.6.159 (talk) 14:07, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: This claim is probably based on Christian Settipani, previously one of the sources for this article, which was created by an editor deeply interested in descent from antiquity and devoted to Settipani as a source for genealogical information.  However, we can't easily verify this, or what Settipani says about Tertulla, since his work is in French and not readily accessible.  Tertulla might be the daughter of a Tertullus, or as you suggest, a diminutive of Tertia, an old praenomen used as a personal name by Roman daughters (typically, by this time, placed after the gentile name, as though a cognomen).  It's impossible to know from Suetonius, who mentions nothing of her background, and we don't know whether Settipani had any other reason for supposing her father's name—if indeed his work is where the claim comes from.  Best to delete it now, and if someone can find what Settipani says about it, we can restore it later.  I've cleaned up the article, which was oddly-worded and in need of some attention.

* The sarcophagus of her son at Pesaro is republished by A. Giuliano, Parola del passato 27 (1972), pp. 271f
