replies: text: Yes, but being your own person does not warrant a wp article. As it is now, the article is a bit meagre. It is difficult to find any sources about her and it seems her notability is mainly due to her being married to KvD. Let's see if we can expand it (I made a start), otherwise I vote merge.

text: Oppose: She's in the Union List of Artist Names, for one: see here. Here's another reference. "Her notability is mainly due to her being married to KvD." - We have articles on Catherine Blake, Suzanne Manet, and Katia Mann. The German, French, and Spanish wikis have articles on Agnes Dürer. And if you want someone whose notability came entirely from marrying people- ahem- just about everyone, in succession - take a look at Alma Mahler. ;) Lithoderm 17:19, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

text: Indifferent: I again did some searches in both Dutch and English today, and it turned up nothing beyond what is in the meagre article already ( her life with KvD, and, she painted). No trace of a career, auction result, exhibition... Does not hurt to keep it as a stub though. Superp (talk) 09:53, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Elizabeth de Montfort, Baroness Montagu

message: I've provisionally deleted this statement from the article:
This seems surprising, considering that Elizabeth’s grandfather, Peter de Montfort, had kidnapped the young Prince Edward during the Barons' Revolt of 1258–1265. Peter de Montfort (regarded by some as the first Speaker of the House of Commons) then died fighting against Prince Edward at the Battle of Evesham in 1265.
The material is unsourced, and doesn't appear to be supported by RS. From the ODNB article on Edward I:
Battle [at Lewes] was joined on 14 May 1264. Edward, in command of the cavalry on the right, charged the Londoners to great effect, routing them. Unfortunately he did not control his troops effectively, and by the time he had regrouped them after a lengthy pursuit, the main battle was lost. Following negotiations during the night Edward and his cousin Henry of Almain gave themselves up as hostages, not to be released until a final settlement was achieved. Edward's imprisonment lasted until March 1265.
This doesn't appear to square with the unsourced statement above re 'kidnapping'. NinaGreen (talk) 19:00, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: age

message: This must be the sama man that Cervantes met in Algiers when he was a prisoner there...  Cervantes made another attempt to escape in September 1577, but was betrayed by the renegade whose services he had enlisted. On being brought before Hassan Pasha, the viceroy of Algiers, he took the blame on himself, and was threatened with death; struck, however, by the heroic bearing of the prisoner, Hassan remitted the sentence, and bought Cervantes from Dali Mami for five hundred crowns. In 1577 the captive addressed to the Spanish secretary of state, Mateo Vazquez, a versified letter suggesting that an expedition should be fitted out to seize Algiers; the project, though practicable, was not entertained. In 1578 Cervantes was sentenced to two thousand strokes for sending a letter begging help from Martin de Córdoba, governor of Oran; the punishment was not, however, inflicted on him. Meanwhile his family were not idle. This can be read here:  --85.220.83.220 (talk) 13:43, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:The True Game

message: It seems quite clear to me that "Wizardry" in the books is not a "talent" of the same nature as the others. Rather, wizards are "the wise". They are the deep thinkers, philosophers, scientists of the world. This is borne out by Peter's mortification when he discovers that Jinian is a wizard, because he told her that she "didn't understand" -- this is something that is clearly considered fatuous to say to a wizard.
This view is also, in my opinion, backed up by the assertion that "the talents of wizards are left unstated": a wise position for people in a physically vulnerable situation. The wizards know that if it was generally recognised that they had no physical powers, they could individually be easily killed or otherwise sidelined. Ensuring the air of mystery over their talents would make the less intellectually-gifted gamesmen far less likely to attack them personally. 134.225.56.76 (talk) 17:58, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Langostino

message: How is this related to this critter?  Squat_lobster
If they are the same, shouldn't the article be merged?--208.65.192.1 02:35, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The so-called "common names" of crustaceans are a real pain. They vary from place to place, from time to time, and depending on the context. A fabulous example is the link you provided at squat lobster , which includes the following phrases: "calling [it] a lobster", "Spanish for prawn", "actually a pelagic crab", "the European langostino is considered to be a lobster because it has small claws", "the jury is still out on the South American langostino", "We just call it langostino", "For me, it's more of a shrimp" and "In Italy, we call it scampi". Trying to work out what organisms are meant in each case is not easy. The "European langostino", "scampi" and "… more of a shrimp" probably all refer to the Norway lobster, which does not occur in Chile, so the South American langostino must be something else, quite possibly a squat lobster, although never mentioned as such. I think "pelagic crab" must just be wrong, and likewise "prawn". Squat lobsters are the only animals to which the FDA allows the name langostino to be applied, and are presumably the subject of the article, but without a scientific name, we really can't tell. With a scientific name, it's easy. The one thing I can be reasonably certain about is that none of these animals is Homarus, but there are lobsters other than Homarus, albeit ones which are less familiar to the general public. So to come back to your main point, langostino is used by different people for different things (the European langostino is not the same as the South American langostino, whatever that may be), and so is probably best as a sort of disambiguation, pointing out who uses the word for what. "Squat lobster" is thankfully unambiguous. --Stemonitis 07:25, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Aha, perhaps a breakthrough: in South America, "langostino" seems to be used for Pleoticus muelleri, the "Argentine red shrimp" or "pink Argentine shrimp" (a prawn). That doesn't mean it isn't used for aynthing else, though. If I find time for a more thorough investigation, I'll try to include all this in the article. --Stemonitis 08:08, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

(Sethc87 (talk) 13:50, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In the old days it had more documentary style programming from a range of (very often very marginal) perspectives, which I thought was interesting. I mean if you show people in their natural habitat the audience can take what they want from that. So its origins were more about literal free speech, i.e. airing programming that wouldn't be shown on commercial television. For many years now it's mainly shifted to televising "progressive" radio talk programs that can often run for many hours a day each. For less time (a year or two or maybe three) they've been airing a new age program (Aware Show with Lisa Garr) with numerology on the regular and all kinds of questionable stuff that is not examined critically. I find this show makes me feel bad for the channel, and subtracts from the credibility of shows like Democracy Now. I keep my TV tuned to the channel just because when I turn it on I don't want to see some really bad taste commercial crap.
