Talk:Luke O'Connor

message: The article notes : "The VC did not exist at the time of O'Connor's endeavours, but so memorable were they that he was the first to be awarded the VC."  This is confusing as Charles Lucas is generally credited as being the first recipient of the VC.
Does the article mean that O'Conner was the first person on whom Queen Victoria pinned the VC at the Hyde Park Ceremony, was he the first to be approved an Gazetted or should it read 'among the first' indicating that he was in that first group?

message: As just about everything in the article now is about the Vegetarian Festival, and we haven't found anyone competent to write a real Nine Emperor Gods Festival article, I say, yes, go ahead and merge 'em. But a Thai Chinese friend of mine in Yasothon says the Chinese Nine Emperor Gods Festival is not a vegetarian festival, the Chinese version of which is something else again. The Phuket affair seems to have been started by refugees from the breakup of the Heavenly Kingdom, which was based on a version of Christianity even stranger (and much worse in terms of lives lost) than that of the Mormons, with which it was a contemporary, and also a contemporary of the Bahai — perhaps there was a virus going around. The Phuket variety also includes playing with knives and sharp objects that smack of some Hindu cults I only dimly recall. Pawyilee (talk) 18:10, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

message: what is shared on this page,to me,is largely Canonical Taoism with special reference to specific stars on the constelation and the honorific titles.
Ask the devotees,many of them know not of such 'formal' information.Their knowledge is more on the localised worship rites. It should be noted that the rites may vary depending on the locality.
Take the Penang and Peninsular Malaysia southern states for a comparison. The worship articles are largely yellow in colour in Penang, the joss sticks, candles, and cakes to be offered. The southern states however, use white candles and even put special emphasis on dressing in white when worshipping in the Nine Emperor Gods temple.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sampuna (talk • contribs) 06:45, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Henry Hugh Clifford

message: Does anyone know where HHC was schooled? According to Hewitson, Stonyhurst College, Present and Past, he was educated at Stonyhurst. However, the school claims to have educated seven VC winners, but does not count Clifford among them. As the grandson of the benefactor of Stonyhurst Hall to the Jesuits, it is plausible that he was educated there, but I cannot find anything to back this up. Either the author of the book was somehow mistaken or Stonyhurst needs to know that it has a forgotten eighth VC holder among its alumni. Any info would be gratefully received - please see the discussion page at Stonyhurst College.

Yes I wondered about that too its obviously wrong somewhere. The article states that HH was made Governor of Portsmouth, however in the book "The '45" by Eneas Mackay (Pub.1908 and facsimile 1981) the author states that HH was was made Commander-in-Chief in Ireland after Culloden.

message: Are u saying that Kip's only military allegiance was to NZ & he had none beyond that to the British Empire?
Bardrick.
:Yes. While the 2nd Division was under British operational (but not administrative) command, Kippenberger had the right to refuse any order and consult with the New Zealand government. He exercised this on a number of occasions. The King of New Zealand was also the King of England (he was the Emperor only in India), the two roles were constitutionally distinct. The post of Commander in Chief was exercised by the Governor General, not the King. New Zealand's relationship with the other Dominions like Australia and Canada was the same as that with Britain, namely that between Allies. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:18, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Hōjō Tsunanari

message: I was looking up who lead the battle of Kawagoe and found two candidates: Hojo Tsunashige (son in law of Hojo Ujiyasu, see Hōjō Ujiyasu) and Hojo Tsunanari (adopted brother of Hojo Ujiyasu, see Hōjō Tsunanari). The sources I found on google are not in unison about this. Samurai archives gives both options Tsunashige and Tsunari.  I see several options:
*One of them was present and the other was not
*They were both present and one was the actual leader
 
Also there might be a mix up in naming. I found one source where Hojo Tsunanari (brother) is called Hojo Tsunashige (brother), but it is def the same person (see ). Possibly Tsunari is also known as Tsunashige , or maybe the kanji can be read like this? This might have caused a mix up. 
Does anyone know more about this? Who really lead the battle of Kawagoe? 
I posted this question on several related article talkpages. Please post all replies at Talk:Battle of Kawagoe.
In case of no reply, for the moment, when I translate articles into dutch, I will assume that Tsunari lead the attack, that some sources call him Tsunashige, and that Tsunashige was present but did not lead the defense. Kind regards, Taketa (talk) 12:19, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
