Talk:Henry T. Gage

message: This is the first place that I have read that Henry Gage was involved in this.
I don't doubt that he was involved, somehow. 
However, I have read almost everything we had at NARA DC that I could find that related to the Itata, and my understanding is that Pres. Benjamin Harrison sent William Howard Taft the U.S. Solicitor General to San Diego California (where his father was then living) and that he was specifically instructed to do the job himself (though I think his father may have advised him at the specific request of the Atty Gen). Could somebody who knows the sources on Mr. Gage clarify this a bit ? I was working on the Itata and somebody came in and made a mess of it, and added the stuff about Henry Gage in a very badly ungraceful way and I don't know enough about Mr. Gage to be able to sort  that part of the recent additions, and would prefer not to remove info from the Itata Article if it has some relevance.John5Russell3Finley 06:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Is Henry Gurney a relative of Sir Goldsworthy Gurney?
Neither article makes a connection to the other, partly as Henry was born 23 years after Goldsworthy's death, yet Henry was born in Poughill, where Goldsworthy lived until his death. This seems more than a coincidence...but it might yet be just that. Anyone know?

Talk:Henry Huntly Haight

message: I've just edited the "Legacy" section to show the current push to rename Henry Haight Elementary in Alameda. Since this this follows the controversy on removing racist monuments, I assume there might be some problems going forward (edit wars etc). I think it would be premature to lock the article at this point, but since I don't know how I will leave that to others at such a time as it becomes necessary.

message: Is the link to the "Political Graveyard" site in this article serve any real purpose.  All it links to in this case is a list of deceased politicians named Horton and says that Henry Hollis Horton's gravesite is unknown, hardly worth the effort to link to and I would also imagine technically incorrect, as I would assume that it is known to someone but just not the editors of "Political Graveyard".

In the next section, "3rd Spanish Armada," it is said that he took over from Essex's failed Azores Voyage and on return in 1597 was made Earl of Nottingham.

message: Someone filled in the section on the Spanish Armada with nothing but pages and pages of excerpts from letters, which are almost indecipherable because of the language. There is no actual description of events or attempt to describe the action of Howard or the expedition/slash battles. Many of these excerpts have nothing to do with the actual event but surround politics and intrigue over individuals.

Talk:Henry Leavitt Ellsworth

message: This piece begins by identifying Henry Ellsworth as an 'administrator.'  Surely even in encyclopedia-speak, we ought to be able to come up with something better. Ellsworth was briefly mayor of Hartford, basically founded the U.S. Department of Agriculture, was commissioner of Patents, during which time he made several decisions on new technologies and inventions that would shatter prior assumptions and change the direction of the country. He also travelled across the west, was an early president of a major life insurance company and was a major donor (for the time) to Yale University. Calling him an 'administrator' makes him sound like a paper-shuffler at the local social security office.MarmadukePercy (talk) 12:22, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I propose that this story is not according to legend, but rather according to a fairly recent "orientalist" story. There is nothing Chinese about it, even the picture doesn't appear to be Chinese. That said, it appears that the Chinese have translated it and are circulating it themselves, all referencing the book from 1945.

replies: text: Curtiss, there's two sets of issues here. First, definitely read WP:OR and Wikipedia:Verifiability, which will explain the sorts of sources you should be looking for when editing articles - you shouldn't be aiming to interpret Hoyt's work yourself, but rather cite reliable secondary sources who have analysed his writing. The second area is general style; I'd advise checking over how you're using capitalisation (e.g. "Hoyt Refutes Profressor (sic) Arthur Perry’s cover up" - "Refutes" doesn't need a capital letter) for example, and how you're forming up sentences (e.g. "His chapter on Adam Smith -Some facts in our history quotes Adam Smith stating that  home market is diminished when there are fewer manufacturers and artificers and by promoting domestic commerce domestic industry is encouraged to a higher degree and that pursuits in foreign trade over domestic commerce is less beneficial to the nations." - there's a missing "-"; "home market" needs an article; you're stringing a very long sentence together with no commas or other breaks; it is unclear what a "pursuit in foreign trade" is; "pursuits" is plural, so you need "are less beneficial" etc.) There are a variety of writing guides out there on the web which would be worth reading through.

message: The succession box had him as MP for Liverpool East Toxteth 1929 - 1931 with the  years being linked to 1929 United Kingdom general election and 1931 United Kingdom general election. This was not accurate so I have amended. First he was elected in 1929, but at 1929 Liverpool East Toxteth by-election, which took place a couple of months prior to the 1929 general election. Second he ceased to be an MP on becoming Baron Melchett, which he did on his father's death at the end of December 1930. The by-election to fill the vacancy created by his becoming a peer  - 1931 Liverpool East Toxteth by-election- took place in February, several months before the 1931 election. I have therefore changed the 1929 link to the by election and changed 1931 to 1930 and linked it to the 1931 by-election. Dunarc (talk) 23:49, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Henry M. Teller

message: I'd like to report conflicting information in this article. I don't know how to correct the article.
The main body of the text says: "Teller returned to the Senate in 1885 and served as Colorado's 
Democratic senator for the remainder of the time until 1909."
But the sidebar has this information:
Political party Republican 
(1876--1897)
Silver Republican 
(1897--1903)
Democratic 
(1903--1909)
And www.senate.gov shows this:
Republican, 1876-1881
Republican, 1885-1897
Silver Republican, 1897-1901
Democrat, 1901-1909
I think if you just revise the text sentence so it's clear that Senator Teller did return to the senate, but did not switch parties until 1901(?), that will remove the conflict.
Thanks.

message: Since the assets and earnings of a Swiss Verein are controlled by the member firms, Swiss Verein borrowers should provide a lender with guarantees from member firms or backup Letters of Credit.
I don't know anything about this subject, but I came here from the KPMG Wiki page where it says KPMG is no longer a Swiss Verein; it was for that reason that I've just deleted KPMG from the list of Swiss Vereins.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.159.188.66 (talk) 04:58, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: In Switzerland (and Germany), a "Verein" is a organizational structure intended for and primarily used by non-profit organizations. See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verein#Schweiz for more details in German. There are thousands of Vereins in Switzerland. A fitting English translation of 'Verein' would be 'club'; typically, local sports clubs or hobby groups are organized this way. Using the legal structure of a Swiss Verein by some US companies is more a side effect of this.
I'm not sure how this should be addressed. In my opinion:
- The article should be tagged as 'US-focused'
- The German article 'Verein' should be translated and transferred to the English Wikipedia, and this article included in it
- Alternatively, a disambiguation page could be created.
Based on feedback, I may add these changes later.

Talk:Graphical timeline of human evolution

message: It is curious that this graphic shows species/genii with a controversial link to our ancestry such as Orrorin and Sahelanthropus, and includes minor species like H. georgicus, but does not include H. ergaster in favor of H. erectus, which is theorized to be the Asian offshoot of H. ergaster and probably not in the lineage leading to H. sapiens, while it is usually believed that H. ergaster did directly lead to the Archaic H. sapiens in Africa, before the sapiens diaspora between 65-40,000 BP.

message: Gordon B. Dodds in Oregon: A History devotes a couple of pages to McNary. Key sentences might be (1) "Republican conservatives were ascendant during the twenties, although the progressive wing of the party, led by Charles Linza McNary and Charles Sprague, gained in the following decade" and (2) "Senator McNary was the state's only national figure in these years, and his legislative impact was the most crucial area of domestic politics for Oregonians, that of natural resources." He credits McNary for the Clarke-McNary Act, which Congress passed in 1924 and "was the motivating force in making Oregon state forestry effective" as well as his sponsorship of the McNary-Haugen bill, which, though twice vetoed by Coolidge, "was an important precedent for New Deal farm legislation." Dodds says that McNary kept the Republican party alive in the 1930s by opposing "diehard opposition to the New Deal that would stamp the party as hopelessly reactionary". His personal friendship with Roosevelt "worked to Oregon's advantage in the Bonneville Dam project" and provided "low-cost electrical power for farmers, public utility districts, and farm co-operatives... ". It was also "instrumental in bringing aluminum and other defense industries to Oregon during the Second World War." All of this is on pp. 199–200.
