message: I looked up three different sources. (see below)
* The sources I looked up all indicated Quebec City. Not sure where the reference to Montreal comes from. Maybe worth looking.
* The same sources indicate August 4, 1778, in Paris.
* The same sources indicate both names. 
In the Historica Canadian Encyclopedia: 
"Vaudreuil, Pierre de Rigaud de Vaudreuil de Cavagnial, Marquis de (sometimes Vaudreuil-Cavagnial), officer, last governor general of New France 1755-60 (b at Québec C 22 Nov 1698; d at Paris, France 4 Aug 1778), son of Philippe de Rigaud de VAUDREUIL"
In his biography at CyberAcadie:
"RIGAUD DE VAUDREUIL DE CAVAGNIAL, PIERRE DE, marquis de Vaudreuil, officier dans les troupes de la Marine et dernier gouverneur général de la Nouvelle-France, né à Québec le 22 novembre 1698, quatrième fils de Philippe de Rigaud de Vaudreuil, marquis de Vaudreuil, et de Louise-Élisabeth de Joybert de Soulanges et de Marson, décédé à Paris le 4 août 1778."
In the Dictionnaire général du Canada of Louis Le Jeune:
"VAUDREUIL (Pierre de Cavagnal, marquis de) (1698-1778), frère du précédent [Philippe-Antoine de Rigaud], enseigne, lieutenant, capitaine, major des troupes, gouverneur des Trois-Rivières, puis de la Louisiane, gouverneur général de la Nouvelle-France et grand-croix de Saint-Louis. - Cavagnac, commune dans le Lot. [II-764]
Né à Québec le 22 novembre 1698, il était le quatrième des fils de Philippe de Rigaud. "

thread_title:  Rio de Janeiro scorpion bounty 

message: This was told by my dad, who happened to work in the central planification ministry during early socialist Czechoslovakia (until he managed to escape).
Czechoslovakian crystal glass is famous worldwide, and thus chandeliers were produced, for export to get foreign currency. Problem is, there is a limited market for luxury chandeliers, which are purchased by the unit, some of them bespoke, all of them handmade, certainly not from one single design. Thus, worker productivity (very important in socialist countries, for any kind of bonus) cannot be measured by the unit, so let's measure the total weight produced... As a result, Czech crystal chandeliers grew to be so heavy, that clients were having engineering issues when trying to install those.

Talk:Kętrzyn

message: It is interesting that an attempt was made here to assert that Rastenburg was called Rastembork in Polish. Rastenburg was one of the oldest castles of the Teutonic Knights, and was called Rastenburg from its founding in the 14th century until the annexations and wholesale population changes of 1945-49. Had Rastembork – which appears to be a simple transliteration of Rastenburg into Polish – been a generally used name, presumably there would have been no reason for the postwar Communist Polish government to change the name to Ketrzyn. User:sca  27sep04
Never heard about changing well established placenames for political reasons ? See Stalingrad, Leningrad, Stalinogrod, Nizhny Novgorod/Gorky to name just a few exmples.
Second thing: Slavic languages for centuries used they own forms of names of many German cities - sometimes (as in case of Rastembork or Olsztyn) being renderings of German original, but often based on Slavic or Latin original, on which German form is also based (for example Dresno, Lipsk, Monachium, Ratyzbona, Chociebuż in Polish or Mnichov, Lipsko, Drážďany in Czech or finally Beč in Serbian/Croatian).
See List of European cities with alternative names for wider context.
For info on Polish-speaking inhabitants of East Prussia, which are responsible for "Rastembork", "Olsztyn", "Lidzbark" etc. see Mazur, Masuria and Warmiak.
And maybe opinions on "attempts to assert" should be based rather on actual linguistic knowledge then on Kantian Idealism?
Of course one is familair with name changes for political reasons. The issue is making clear that the name formerly was different, and was changed as a result of war that was followed by ethnic and territorial changes implemented by force.
However, I have a better understanding now for the Polish use of Rastembork for Rastenburg, and have edited the entry to say "was rendered in Polish as."
I am wondering whether Poles actually find German names such as Rastenburg difficult to pronounce. It seems unlikely, based on my slight acquaintance with Polish and its thicket of consonants, but I don't know. Sca 20:15, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Famaly tree? 

message: Harald Fairhair is the great-great grandson of Sigurd "Snake-in-the-Eye" Ragnarsson through Harald's mother's father's mother, Aslaug. Also, Ragnar seems to be descended from Óláfr Trételgja/Olaf Tree Feller but the timeline of the Yngling Dynasty doesn't seem to make sense with this information unless the Yngling Rulers we know of were branched out further than single generations
Perhaps the Yngling Dynasty survived through thousands of years and there are many many figures missing from the sagas?
My sources on Ragnar Lodbrok being related to the Yngling Tree (both to Harald Fairhair and through Ragnar's ancestors):
*https://www.geni.com/discussions/221190 (Not a source of Ragnar's descent from Olaf but is an interesting source on Ragnar's descent from Odin, who founded (or one of his descendants did, who were closer to Odin than Olaf's grandfather, Anund) the Yngling Dynasty as far as I can tell)
*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harald_Fairhair (Harald's mother is Ragnhild Sigurdsdottir)
*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigurd_Snake-in-the-Eye#Sigurd's_descendants (One of Sigurd "Snake-in-the-Eye's" descendants is named Ragnild Sigurdsdottir)
*In Crusader Kings 3, Ragnar's Great Grandfather is Olaf, son of Ingjald, son of Anundr which fits into the Yngling Dynasty. Idk where they got their source though so take this one with a grain of salt. Also Paradox seems to love forgetting figures in certain dynasties as Aslaug Sigurdsdottir (Snake-in-the-Eye's daughter) isn't in the game but her son, Sigurd Hjort is, as the maternal grandfather of Harald Fairhair, ancestor of Harald Hard Ruler/ AngerySnek (talk) 21:34, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Views of Palestinian statehood

message: Palestine is a word coined by the British recently...
Here's something I've been wondering about for a long time:
How much of the advocacy for the establishment of "a Palestinian state" is predicated on the following ideas?
* that Palestine no longer includes Jordan
* that Palestine needs to have at least one state which is either (a) Arab, (b) Islamic, or at least (c) non-Jewish
I may be terribly naive -- and I'm SURE that I'm woefully ignorant -- but why can't all the Palestinian Arabs just go and live in Jordan? And let Israel have everything west of the Jordan River? 
Jordan would then be the "Palestinian state" everyone's always talking about, and the Arab refugees from the west side of Palestine would be citizens in a country whose national culture is congenial to them.
I'm not proposing this as a solution. It's more of a "food for thought" question. I'm fishing for objections here, not for support! I think if I understood the issue better from this angle I could write better Wikipedia articles; that's all. --Uncle Ed 21:18, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: The displaced refugees could find a homeland in Palestine, if Jordan would welcome them, i.e, grant them citizenship or at least permanent residence.
* A portion of Jordan could be designate specifically for refugees; or,
* Refugees could settle anywhere in Jordan.
Some advocates assert that Islamic countries generally reject the settling of the refugees in Jordan. Many of these advocates say that the Islamic world is using the refugee issue against Israel, i.e., there is an Islamic argument (tacit or otherwise) that:
#Israel must accommodate the refugees; 
#If not, Israel should be destroyed
To these advocates, this argument is just an excuse to destroy Israel. --Uncle Ed 15:15, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Pictures

message: Presumably whoever wrote the following; "Based on Christian theology[citation needed] and until recently funded by the U.S. federal government, SRT uses rock concert-style events in an attempt to appeal to 21st century teenagers" meant that its the notion of staying celibate until marriage that is based on Christian theology, rather than the wearing of jewellery to show this decision or the rock concert-style events (which, although probably very enjoyably if you're that way inclined, have very little basis in Christian theology). In Biblical times, virginity (for women) until marriage was taken for granted. It was not a decision to be taken or manifested through the wearing of anything in particular. Seems to me that the SRT exists as a reaction to contemporary society and what some people feel is an exaggerated emphasis on sexuality. Maybe someone who knows more about the SRT project than I do could re-write the first section, rather than finding a citation, because at the moment it's confusing regarding what exactly it is that is based on Christian theology.

With this report by ARIS (see also Religion in the United States) stating that 'In 2008, 76% of American adults identified as Christian,' doesn't it seem that there's a Freaky Overlap (at least in the USA) of the number of people who claim to be Christian and the number of people who have or have had premarital sex?? 207.65.109.10 (talk) 08:25, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
