Talk:John Davies (poet, born 1569)

message: Hello there,
Thank you for this page. I have just read True Causes (at Archive.org)     https://archive.org/stream/irelandundereliz00morliala#page/334
and it is indeed well written and polemical but only in the sense of being controversial which today, I hope you can agree, is not really what we mean by a polemic.
I am writing only because it might put some readers off from reading it and that would be a shame. Controversial yes but thorough and largely water-proof.
What he does achieve is to show at least this reader that efforts like, for example, the Statutes of Kilkenny were intended to curb the Anglo-Irish 13th century settlers from England and not 'the mere Irish' who Davies seems to have written off as a race apart and beyond redemption though he does relent when they appear(ed) to start behaving themselves when Crown protection was extended to include them; i.e. What began as failings of character transmuted by about page 333/334 to the belief that just laws and protection would bring about a more civil state of affairs, which it did.
It is absolutely compelling as a read, Davies' classical training surfacing every so often, as he (unlike Spenser who also appears in the volume linked above) comes to the empirical conclusion that 'good fences make good neighbours', (something any English or Irish schoolboy or girl could have told him). Davies begins in the 12th Century and eloquently works his way forward to the 17th.
The work is important because for the first time in this reader's lifetime, the behaviours of settlers are identified as 'the true cause' of a centuries old failed policy where successive monarch's footed the bill for the poor behaviour of those who foraged in the monarch's name. The early Norman settlers did not want the monarch to offer protection to the Irish and so lacking his/her protection they saw the King or Queen's writ for what it was, a double standard of justice, though, as mentioned, no fault of the monarch. Soldiers sent over to prevent trouble between the two weighed heavily on the settler's who had to feed them (coign and livery) which just made the situation worse. 
Anyway, thank you for reading this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.127.24.137 (talk) 17:55, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: Lorenzini

message: Should we add loosely like, "The Adventures of Pinocchio is a 1996 fantasy family film, directed by Steve Barron and based loosely on the original 1883 novel of the same name by Carlo Collodi."?
If you've read the novel and watch the 1996 film at the same time, you can very easily tell that the 1996 is not fully true to the novel with different twists. Other adaptations like The Adventures of Pinocchio (1972 miniseries), Pinocchio (2002 film) and Pinocchio (2019 film) stay very to the novel if you read the novel and watch those three films.— Preceding unsigned comment added by SECREngineNo592 (talk • contribs)

Talk:No Escape (1994 film)

message: I finished the plot summary, but still consider this article a stub as it could use a picture and maybe more details such as it's nomination for an award (see IMDB), production costs, and box office receipts. Perhaps the plot summary could see some smoothing out, as the version I saw was the edited time compressed TV version. Plus there are many intertwining details explaining the back story. However it would be difficult doing so without increasingly the length, which I suggest against doing. 
The movie was better than what I expected though. Nodekeeper 04:51, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Hall of Memory, Birmingham

message: I have been writing to Birmingham city council to ask if I can use images on the website on articles such as this one. I was unsure as some had copyrights whilst the majority did not. There is also no copyright on the information. I could have taken it however, I did not want to take the chance and I wanted to be sure. I am placing this on this page because the image I want to get is an old image on it before Centenary Square had been landscaped and many of the surrounding buildings had been built. I have not received a reply. - Erebus555 12:18, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Thomas Brierley grave cipher

message: I put this up in a hurry. I will link references in good time and stick my photos up of the memorial. This is the best I could come up with from the available evidence (including GRO, newspaper articles, commentaries, books, archives etc  - many of which are contradictory and some clearly wrong).
Please add any refs you have on this article in the meanwhile. I will asure you though that the articles that describe him as having eight brothers - of various names including Abishai, Joab etc are incorrect. It was his father.
His father, Joab/Job, had eight brothers: George (Hurst), Daniel, Jesse, Abishai, Asahel, Ittai/Hite,  Didymus and Gideon (just in case some local experts wanted to know). Their father was John Brierley and he was known as the man with "nine sons".

message: I put some refs up. Not certain the best way to do this as some of them conflict and some most likely have exaggerated parts. I could rewrite the article to be more scholarly ... According to X jada, jada, but according to Y, blah, blah, although Z agrees with X. However, it will quickly become unreadable. On the otherhand, this article is PoV becasue I have chosen what seems to be the most likely from the sources (generally favouring the earlier sources over the later ones). Any thoughts?

Talk:Śukasaptati

message: Interesting article, but I didn't know the meaning of "CE" in use with dates. It appears to mean "century", but on whose calendar? How about using AD to avoid confusion? I tried to edit, but found that it even says "12 century CE" in the article, which would mean "12 century century" - isn't that nonsense? Or do I misunderstand what CE means? Tempel 07:01, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: CE in this context stands for "Common Era". The calender matches up exactly with the gregorian (current) system, with CE replacing AD and BCE replacing BC. It's fairly commonly used in academic literature, as well as when describing non-European history. Wikipedia treats the AD/CE issue in the same way that AmE/CwE is treated within articles — stick with whatever the original contributor used unless there's a very good reason to switch.

Talk:Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella

message: Since this album title is a literary reference I think it important  to state and explain reference at beginning of entry. It is buried here.
Also, this is incorrect in stating:
"The album's title came from a quotation from Isadore Ducasse (writing as Comte de Lautréamont) describing surrealism."
Ducasse can't "describe" Surrealism as that art movement didn't come into being for another 50 years or so. His expression was appropriated BY the Surrealists I believe.

Talk:John Knatchbull, 7th Baron Brabourne

message: The article states that Brabourne had *eight* children, and lists them (but does not provide sources), noting that one of them (Nicholas) was killed in 1979. None of the others is listed as deceased. However, the article then states that when Brabourne died he was survived by his *six* remaining children. The source for this is cited as a BBC article which states that Brabourne had *seven* children and was survived by his six remaining children.
Not sure how to resolve this unless someone can find an authoritative source (something liked Debrett's?) listing Brabourne's children.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by JayZed (talk • contribs) 11:35, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
