Talk:Bauble

message: I think that there should be some reference to Willie Nelson song, "The Highwayman."
I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride/With sword and pistol by my side/Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade/Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade/The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five/But I am still alive.

thread_title: Education

message: In the 'English Origins' section, Droitwich is described as being in 'co. Worcester', it was (and is) in 'Worcestershire.  Likewise Kempsey was/is not in 'Worcester'  but in Worcestershire.  A small point perhaps, but the city of Worcester was a County Corporate from 1622 and neither Droitwich or Kempsey fell within the County Corporate - so the use of 'Worcester' is not harmless shorthand, it is potentially misleading.  I suggest in both instances 'Worcestershire' replaces Worcester.

The inside account of how Frank Lorenzo took over a sputtering Airlines and flew it into the ground. With access to the major players -- the guarded Lorenzo and his inner circle, former Eastern Airlines president Frank Borman, Peter Ueberroth, and union boss Charlie Bryan -- author Aaron Bernstein explains how Lorenzo brought a corporate raider's mentality to running a business, and how its failure marked a watershed in the 1980s "Age of Greed."

Talk:Elizabeth Stanhope, Countess of Chesterfield

message: Why is she notable? 
"She married Philip Stanhope, [...]. He was one of the lovers of the notorious Barbara Villiers, mistress of King Charles II of England."  Transitivity enciclopedicity? More a 'soap opera' then a notability. --Meridiana solare (talk) 20:51, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello @Meridiana solare, nice to meet you again. As per WP:BASIC, "people are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject". Here the threshold is clearly met: as you can see, there are numerous sources, and two of them are particularly important in the French and English literature (respectively Antoine Hamilton, Mémoire du comte de Gramont, and Samuel Pepys, Diary). Besides, the new Dictionary of National Biography (ODNB) has an entry specifically dedicated to her. I know that on it.wiki things work differently, and one has to determine whether the person who is the topic of a biographical article “has distinguished themselves in a particular and notable way for their activities and/or for their thought” (it:WP:BIO), which obviously implies an assessment by the community. Here, if I am not wrong, they let the sources rule on the matter, so to say: once you have reliable secondary sources, the subject is per se notable.

The most famous is perhaps the oil painting by Peter Lely from about 1660 that is kept at Chevening House.

:I checked a couple of very detailed chronologies and found no references at all to a temple being constructed in this year. Even if it was, modern historians haven't deemed it important enough to keep in chronologies that are far more detailed than what is included in this article, so I have deleted it as being unverified.

:This is clearly Nijō Castle, and I found a more specific date in my chronology. Note that this is a precursor to the Nijō Castle described in the English article and it was indeed built by Hideyoshi (there have been 4 Nijō castles altogether, the last being the one built by Ieyasu), but the year of construction I found for Hideyoshi's temple was 1586.

message: "Nardi, as it happens, does not mention Fracastoro. His authority (apart from Lucretius himself) is Felix Platter. Platter, in his De Febribus (1597) ... had explicitly rejected arguments for the spontaneous generation of plague and syphilis, since these could not account for the fact that these were new diseases -- if they could be spontaneously generated they would have arisen over and over again. ... He thus carefully propounds the theory that these diseases are spread by seeds or germs [in Latin: "semen" -- wrongly understood not as "germs", but as "seminal fluid" after Platter and until Bassi] ... Platter is thus a proper germ theorist, the earliest known to me" (David Wootton, 2006: Bad Medicine - Doctors doing harm since Hippocrates, p. 127).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.2.161.4 (talk) 18:54, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
