Talk:John Sevier

message: Drebfiadrok - you are having difficulty reading the family pedigree on the rootsweb site.  John Sevier's father was Valentin 'The Immigrant' Sevier, who came from London.  Valentin 'The Immigrant's father was Valentin 'The Hugenot' who was born in France.
Also, Sevier may or may not have had eighteen children, but please do not replace one unsources speculation with another.  It would have been better to strike the whole sentence out.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 15:40, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Monuments 

message: I've removed the following for now:
Much like the Sally Hennings/Thomas Jefferson descendants, there are currently several lines of families who claim to descend from John Sevier and an unknown Cherokee Indian woman. Their daughter, Winney Alice Sevier, was left at the Henry Campbell farm in Russell County, Virginia, when the mother could no longer care for her. She fell in love with one of the boys who lived on the farm, Abraham Campbell, and they married and lived in a house on the adjacent farm.
If a very reliable source for this (i.e., not genealogical sites or self-published works) can be found, feel free to re-add it to the "Family" section.  Bms4880 (talk) 20:07, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed paragraph 

message: I wonder if it is worth mentioning Oconostota and how he helped to negotiate peace between the Cherokee and America. John Sevier was instrumental in these battles, and he had interactions with chief Oconostota.

message: This is very interesting to me:  "Prior to his time as a political analyst, Larry Sabato worked for nine years with Virginia Democratic politician Henry Howell. At the age of 15, Sabato joined Howell's first campaign for the Virginia governorship in 1968, and then worked on his successful run for lieutenant governor in 1971, and his campaigns for governor in 1973 and 1977."

Talk:Lego characters

message: At present what this article would have that would better go in minifigure (if it's about minifigs in general), or an article on the relevant theme (such as Lego Pirates for the pirate and the redcoat). Perhaps something about the development in Lego characters in general (such as how lego has used comics to create specific characters, to how newer things have minifigs representing specific characters instead of a general type, etc), but I'm not sure if that would make a coherent article.

Talk:Abbots Ripton rail accident

message: The 'fundamental causes' section looks to be arguing a case, going beyond the evidence actually given,and not necessarily doing everybody justice.  A more modern enquiry might indeed look at defects of the system of management (if that was in its terms of reference) , but to do so it would take more evidence on these points:
* difficulty of getting signals to work properly in snow is not necessarily failure to manage a known problem; it might be failure to have an adequate system for reporting matters of safety concern (Cockshott interjects after Piggott's evidence that he had heard of rare instances of imperfect signals during snowstorms, but never of erroneous ones)
* note also that 'fighting on the wires' is another problem well-known at low level but clearly being filtered out by middle managers
and if it hadn't taken the evidence, it wouldn't leap to conclusions about what the evidence would have been.  At the very least, the section should be reworked so that any leaping to conclusions is done by the reader. Rjccumbria (talk) 22:30, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: My copy of Rolt (op cit) has illustrations, including an engraving of the disaster scene from the ILN 'from a sketch by a passenger' which quite clearly shows signals out of their slots but not up to the 'danger' position - matching accounts in the inquiry report, but somewhat at variance with the 'frozen in slots' account in Rolt. ILN engravings are not always reliable - the ILN front page picture of the failed Tay Bridge has it curving L (rather than R)at the N end.

Talk:Chersiphron

message: The program "Lost Worlds: Jesus' Jerusalem" on The History Channel makes mention of a "metagenes," a device used to transport massive stones for the building of temples.  This method of transportation involves setting a rectangular stone into the center of two large, wooden wheels, making it the axle support for the wheels.  My hasty online research suggests that this method was used by Metagenes in the sixth century B.C. and was recorded by Vitruvius in his books on architecture in the first century B.C.
I don't feel that I have the expertise to add a paragraph of good quality on this device, but perhaps a knowledgable anthropologist will be able to add something about it.CuteGargoyle 01:08, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:List of radio stations in Kentucky

message: Often when creating radio station articles it can be difficult to find reliable secondary sources that help "prove" notability.  One easy and useful reliable source is the website of the radio network of a professional sports team.

The station is an affiliate of the Tennessee Titans radio network.

message: Is it all right if i add a trivia section mentioning that all the realms seem to have a parallel,  i.e., Skelos Badlands is similar to Crystal Glacier in that one is a land of ice, the other fire, both inhabited by identical tribes, etc. Zephyr is the enemy of Breeze Harbor, and are both military installations. Robotica Farms is the rural bretheren of droid-inhabited Metropolis. Cloud Temple and Mystic Marsh are run by wizards and "Water-wizards" respectively, both of whom are similar in appearance. Glimmer is a realm of miners while Hurrico is a world of engineers; their similarity is that both their worlds are based on industry. Each world has another that is both similar and opposite in one way or another. Scorch and Shady Oasis, Fracture Hills and Magma Cone, Aquaria Towers and Sunny Beach, Idol Springs and Collossus (both build temples, statues, while Colossus is home to tranquil monks, Idol Springs' citizens are all straightforward craftsmen).

Talk:James Barbour

message: I just did a heavy copyedit: adding some wikilinks, removing lots of passive constructions and reorganizing chronologically. The libraries are closed, so I cannot verify that Barbour was re-elected annually to the governorship (although the Library of Virginia entry cited at the end is presumably authoritative), nor the particular persons that he ran against. The article clearly has major problems still, especially concerning his actions with the Creek Indians. I added a wikilink to the Red Stick War that ended in 1814 and will add links to the treaties involved (although not corresponding references to him in them). Although I initially kept the prior unattributed stance that Barbour advocated their removal, the Governor Troup article indicates the Georgia governor did, as do the treaty articles themselves.Jweaver28 (talk) 19:21, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
