Talk:Groans of the Britons

message: It would be useful if this article could throw any more light on the word "Groans". What on earth does the word mean in the context in which it is being used? --Tagishsimon (talk)
:Gemitus means 'a sigh or groan'. I don't know quite why Gildas choose that word but it's always translated that way. I'll add something that makes it clearer that is was a pained appeal for help. adamsan  21:35, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: It's sometimes translated as 'lamentations'. —No-One Jones (m) 23:28, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Groans

message: Surely the Groan of the Britons was not for aid against the Saxons but against the Picts and Scots? Gildas says this himself - the Groan is mentioned before the Saxons' arrival... DeRaquis (talk) 12:02, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You are right. Gildas is talking about the Picts and Scots. The whole section of the article about the Saxons is unsourced and needs to go. Indeed I'm not sure why there's even an article on this.--Cúchullain t/c 12:10, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Picts and Scots

message: Currently the lead sentence is
:The Groans of the Britons (Latin: gemitus Britannorum[1]) is the name of the final appeal made by the Britons to the Roman military for assistance against Anglo-Saxon invasion. [my bolding]
But the rest of the article says the appeal was for assistance against the Picts and Scots, not the Anglo-Saxons, and that the Anglo-Saxons were invited in for that defense, rather than invading. I think the first sentence needs to be corrected. Loraof (talk) 00:28, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lead sentence contradicts rest of article 

message: This article states that Gildas mentions Hengist and Horsa, which would seem to contradict the article Hengist_and_Horsa, which gives Bede as the first attestation.  Searching this translation, I don't see any mention of H&H.  Can someone more expert than me clear this up? Iapetus (talk) 16:01, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The translation does not name them, but it does mention the narrative that Vortigern invited the Saxons to defend him as mercenaries in cap. 23: "Then all the councillors, together with that proud tyrant Gurthrigern [Vortigern], the British king, were so blinded, that, as a protection to their country, they sealed its doom by inviting in among them (like wolves into the sheep-fold), the fierce and impious Saxons, a race hateful both to God and men, to repel the invasions of the northern nations. Nothing was ever so pernicious to our country, nothing was ever so unlucky. What palpable darkness must have enveloped their minds-darkness desperate and cruel!". Saying Gildas names H&H is a bit misleading but the general idea of a mercenary-army-gone-wrong is shared by both authors. GPinkerton (talk) 16:35, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:List of places in Cambridgeshire

message: I have no objection to a separate list of places in the District of Huntingdonshire, but they should also be listed here as the district forms part of the County of Cambridgeshire.

Unless someone can explain why they've been left out, I shall consider adding them to this list. Chris Jefferies 21:10, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Snaefell Mountain Railway

message: Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally.

Talk:Google consultant

message: I don't understand why this page got deleted for spam - the term "Google consultant" is becoming widely used (in the UK at least) and distinct from SEO consultant - I did consider simply redirecting to SEO but thought that because SEO references "consultant" it would be better to give "Google consultant" a page of it's own.
The only external link is to a Google search - not any particular Google Consultant. My idea being that the best Google consultant in the world is going to be the one at the top of the list.
You can't call that spam.
::well, it was not me who marked it, but you do not cite references in this article. you do not cite facts and use a lot of "mostly" statements. these are things which editors do not like. this article is also not "timeless" in that you do not take into account how long your statements are true. this article reads more like an advertisement in this sense, so even though you may something you believe to be true, and it generally is, you have not provided it in the format suitable to an encyclopaedia. also, the term is somewhat narrow minded and centers around a company. try putting some more effort into it and i am sure it could be better.
