message: I have added 3 tags in the article:
* "Henry, Bishop of Winchester (1101-1171) oblate child raised at Cherite sur Loire (Cluny Abbey)"
** the intended text is probably La Charité-sur-Loire, which had the first priory of Cluny Abbey (and was therefore distinct from Cluny itself). I cannot find any source and his article does not mention La Charité-sur-Loire.
* Place of death of Adela is mentioned as Marcigny-sur-Loire in the infobox, and Marsilly, Poitou-Charentes, in the text. Cannot find source for this either
*If anyone is more knowledgeable, thanks for cleaning up the article. Olivier (talk) 00:01, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Typos and inconsistencies

message: This article seems so awkwardly written for such an important historical figure, and by far the biggest issue is the sentence "She brought  with her [to her husband] not only her title". This completely contradicts a later paragraph which states that despite coming from a noble family of great influence and wealth, Adela did not officially inherit any titles from her parents (but instead her siblings did). On the contrary, the article explicitly states that Adela gained her title through her marriage, and not vice versa. Therefore, I would appreciate if someone could explain which title does this sentence refer to. Editor-Plejer (talk) 20:49, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Adela's inherited title?
Talk:Adelaide of Maurienne

message: The article describes a legend about Adelaide, quote: Adélaide is one of two queens in a legend related by William Dugdale. As the story goes, Queen Adélaide of France became enamoured of a young knight, William d'Albini, at a joust. But he was already engaged to Adeliza of Louvain and refused to become her lover. The jealous Adélaide lured him into the clutches of a hungry lion, but William ripped out the beast's tongue with his bare hands and thus killed it. This story is almost without a doubt apocryphal. As a great-granddaughter of Adeliza and Louis VI and also of Adeliza and her second husband, William d'Albini, I can verify that story is purely the figment of someone's idle imagination. I have no problem with including the legend, but the denial is phrased in a, to put it mildly, far from neutral way; sure, it was probably not true. but no one can know this centuries later, wether related to her or not. I will remowe this, and replace it with; "it is ot known if this is true or not", but i thought I should mention this as an example. --85.226.47.111 (talk) 13:26, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Problem with dates

message: I honestly didn't know which language to post these problems, so I chose English...
English:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_I,_Count_of_Namur
He married Ermengarde, daughter of Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine, and had three children:
    Liutgard of Namur
    Albert II, Count of Namur was father of Hedwige of Namur, who married Gerard, Duke of Lorraine. They were the great-great-grandparents of Beatrice, who married Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.
French:
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Ier_de_Namur
Il avait épousé Ermengarde2, fille de Charles, duc de Basse-Lotharingie, et avait eu :
    Robert II, comte de Namur.
    Albert II († 1063), comte de Namur
    Hedwige (Hadewide) de Namur, épouse de Gérard Ier de Lorraine
    Luitgarde, mariée à Otton, premier comte de Looz.
    Oda ou Goda
    Ermengarde, que des auteurs ont voulu identifier, à tort, à l’épouse d’Otton Ier de Chiny.
German:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_I._%28Namur%29
Er heiratete 990 die Karolingerin Adelheid († nach 1012), eine Tochter des Herzoges Karls von Niederlothringen, der seit 987 französischer Thronprätendent war und 991 von Hugo Capet gefangengesetzt und bis zu seinem Tod in Orléans eingekerkert wurde.
Albert und Adelheid hatten mindestens zwei Kinder:
    Robert II., 1013–1018 bezeugt, † vor 1031, Graf von Namur
    Albert II., 1031–1062 bezeugt, † 1063/64, Vogt von Andenne, 1047 Stifter des Klosters Saint-Aubin in Namur; ∞ Reginlindis von Lothringen, 1067 bezeugt, Tochter des Herzogs Gotzelo I..
All languages have this gentleman passing away shortly before 1011.
He marries Ermengarde (Adelhaid), daughter of Charles (Karl), Duke of Lower Lorraine. So far so good.
BUT, the issues didn't tranlate so well: In English he is Hedwiga of Namur's grandfather. In French he is her father. And no mention of her in German. The only common denominator between the three languages as far as issues is Albert II, but Albert is once Hedwiga's brother, and once her father, and once no mention of his decendants. What is correct?
Thank you!

replies: text: Same analyze.. I don't which one is the truth. But actually, regarding birth and death date, it seems Hedwige (born near 1025) was the daugther of Albert II (997-1037), who was the son of Albert I (950-1011) and Ermengarde (970-1013). It seems impossible Hedwige was directly the daughter of Albert I (she born around 44 years after his death...). But it's my own analyse, so... Laszlo (talk) 12:13, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

message: This page relies largely on unsourced material. I found two books on the topic one written by Ahmad al-Rifa'i and translated by a Kuwait author and former politician called The Advocated Proof. The other is a biography of Ahmad al-Rifa'i written by the same Kuwaiti author and another Indian author. It's called The Biography of Imam Master Sayyed Ahmad al-Rifai.

thread_title: Coinage

message: Heyy,  and : you (separately) removed links I'd put in "Cairo" and "Fatimid Caliphate" in the birth date field of the infobox.
I had seen them linked once within the infobox, but I chose to link them a second time at the place of birth as I figured (from my own behaviour) that birth- and death-date and place are spots where a lot of readers would glance first; Cairo being linked in the caption at the top would be completely lost, and perhaps readers wouldn't look at the caliph's title before his place of birth. What do you think, do you disagree with this rationale?
I only found out about MOS:GEOLINK while voraciously reading the manual of style for linking before posting this, but separate links to modern-day Cairo and the Fatimid Caliphate still make sense to me, as the Caliphate is a historical geographic placeand linking it here will provide important context about the historical state, at the expense of some link clarity, to readers who will glance at the infobox first. —I'llbeyourbeach (talk) 20:13, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Amadeus II, Count of Savoy

message: How can Constance of Savoy (wife of Otto II, Marquess of Montferrat) be the daughter of Amadeus II, Count of Savoy when he was born c. 1050, and her son William IV, Marquess of Montferrat was born c. 1030-1035? Her son was born before her father? I realize both birth years are estimates, but something has gone wrong here. Even if Amadeus was born much early than estimated (1050 seems to be the approximate latest he could have been born), he would have needed to be born more like c. 1000 at the latest (probably earlier) to have a daughter old enough to give birth in 1030-1035. But then that would put his own parents birth years after his own! Unfortunately, I don't have the knowledge to correct this but felt it needed to be pointed out.Robin (talk) 19:48, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Good catch. I think it's just nonsense. The source is at Otto II and it is just an unreliable web page. Neither Cognasso nor Previté-Orton mention a daughter of Amadeus II named Constance. The more reliable Medieval Lands project of the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy also doesn't mention any Constance in connection with either Amadeus or Otto. Srnec (talk) 22:59, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

message: Andrew was baptized in Kiev before 1053, he bore a name especially popular among Orthodox believers in this period, he established two Orthodox monasteries in Hungary after 1053, he only lived 7 years after 1053.

replies: text: But wasn't there already differences between the two branches before 1053 and the Great Schism only broke apart two separate churches which were only united in name? Didn't Hungary under Stephen converted to the Roman-headed branch of the Chalcedonian Church with the use of Latin rites instead of Byzantine rites?

Talk:Antipope Honorius II

message: As it stands in May 2021, the article is nothing but a cut-and-paste from the old first edition of the Catholic Encyclopedia of 1908 (The later second edition, called "The New Catholic Encyclopedia", is more than a half-century old). It reflects, therefore, the official viewpoint of the Roman Catholic Church (which can change from time to time). No effort is made to be balanced, through reference to other historians, especially more modern ones (I added a couple of citations).
(1) The text is partisan in nature, seeking to justify the winner of the struggle over the papacy in 1061, Alexander II. It pays no attention to the career of Cadalus (born c. 1010) before 1061, focusing only on the events of 1061 to 1063. The article calls him "the ambitious prelate of Parma, Cadalous", and "the imperial agent, Benzo, Bishop of Alba, a clever but unscrupulous man". It is therefore incomplete and unjust in its treatment of the life of the subject of the article.
(2) The text makes no mention of the decree of 1059 of Pope Nicholas II, which sought to deprive the nobles of Rome, the priests of the city (except the cardinals), the people of Rome, and the Emperor of their traditional prerogatives in the election of a pope--in the name of "reform". Nicholas' own election earlier in 1059 was uncanonical, there already being a properly elected pope sitting on the papal throne, and Nicholas' taking of the papal throne after an election outside Rome contrived by Archdeacon Hildebrand irregular and violent. The nobles of Rome who appealed to the Emperor were in a struggle to maintain their rights, and they were supported by considerable numbers of clergy who did not want to be "reformed". This is the context of the schism of Honorius II. See H. Milman, Vols III-IV, pp. 320-342.s
(3) Nothing is said as to who the "reformers" were (Archdeacon Hildebrand was their instigator and leader), and what their goals were. Cadalus and his party opposed them, and it is desirable that something be said.

Talk:Arduin of Ivrea

message: The prose in this article is a bit labored, but the worst of it is in the second paragraph.  There, in addition to being elaborate, the text suffers from a proliferation of unidentified pronouns.  Paragraph follows with comments in square brackets:
:He [Arduin] proclaimed himself King of Italy after the death of Otto III in 1002. At first he [Arduin] was "elected by the Lombards in Pavia and was called 'caesar' by all", according to the chronicler Arnulf of Milan. He [Arduin] made the rounds of the kingdom with the Archbishop of Milan publicly at his side, while Henry II was acclaimed King of the Germans. The territorial magnates professed to favour him [Arduin?] but secretly were in favour of Henry, according to Arnulf. His [who?] enemies in the church, led by Frederick, Archbishop of Ravenna, sided with the new emperor.[who?] Henry sent his duke, Otto of Carinthia, whom he made count of Verona, to face Arduin, who [who?] was successful in the pitched battle of Fabrica.

thread_title:  Ethnicity 

message: In the process of expanding this article, I have changed the link to a different Arabic writer, also with the name, Khwarizimi. The original link had been in the article for many years, but appears to have confused two individuals with the same family name. There were two medieval Arabic writers with the name, Khwarizimi, but they lived a century apart. It appears that the article had linked to the incorrect person. My justification for the change follows:
According to reliable secondary sources, al-Hamadani and Khwarizmi were contemporaries. They were in competition with each other, exchanged insults and rebuked each other. (See Hämeen-Anttila, J., Maqama: A History of a Genre, Otto Harrassowitz Verlag, 2002 , pp 18-20 and Prendergast, W.J., The Maqamat Of Badi Al Zaman Al-hamadhani, (1915), 1973, pp 5-6, https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.50447/page/n19</ref>)
Therefore, the Khwarizmi named in the Wikipedia article, cannot be Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi (c. 780– c. 850) because he lived a century earlier. Instead, the Khwarizimi mentioned in the sources must be Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Khwarizmi, a 10th century writer, who was al-Hamadani’s contemporary, and is known to have been a resident of Nishapur where he would have come into contact with Al-Hamadani during his sojourn to that city in 990-992.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.176.224.116 (talk) 01:47, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
