Talk:Pietro Colonna Galatino

message: While the word "Jehovah" is supposed to have come from the mixing of "Adonai" in "YHWH", it's unknown who spelled out the word "Jehovah" in Latin lettering first. To say Galatino did NOT make this spelling first is as presumptuous as saying he did unless there is some sort of evidence one way or another.

thread_title:  Odin 

message: Hi, here's a rough draft for the translation of the NO article:
//
Hersir (perhaps derived from Norse «herr» in the sense of "band") was an old Norwegian chieftain's title that was in use until around the year 1050. It seems that "hersir" was an old term of rank from the time of clan society which fell out of use after as the royal power strengthened its position.
Snorre Sturlason writes in The Saga of Harald Fairhair in Heimskringla that King Harald appointed an earl in each county and that each "[...] should have under him four hersir or more, and each of them should have twenty marks of wealth; each earl was to provide sixty men in the king's army, and each hersir twenty men."[1] Bugge mentions that the earls and hersir whom Harald Hårfagre appointed were the king's deputies and tax collectors.[2]
In the time of Olav II Haraldsson (the Saint), the Hersir title seems to have fallen out of use,[3] and the Hersir were replaced by «lendr maðr» who, to a greater extent, received their power from the king and not from the old family community.
Icelandic sagas mention a number of chieftains in West Norway with hersir title, e.g. Erling Skjalgsson.
1.  ^ Heimskringla, The Saga of Harald Fairhair, chapter 6
2.  ^ Alexander Bugge, Norges historie (1910), volume 1. Part 2, p. 122
3.  ^ footnote to the Saga of Halvdan the Black in Heimskringla, 1979, ed. Finn Hødnebø and Hallvard Magerøy

Talk:Piotr of Goniądz

message: Anyone know what "mundane life" (as in "disregard for mundane life") is suppose to mean (I disregard it myself!)? I take it it's a reference to some kind of anti-materialism, but could it be clarified/sourced?  Volunteer Marek  07:34, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, according to the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, "mundane" means 1 lacking interest or excitement, 2 of this earthly world rather than a heavenly or spiritual one. Probably 2 is the answer for your question. Now please help me understand why it is important to start this discussion. I don't think that "disregard for mundane life" is a direct quote from Gonesius' works, and it is certainly not a theological concept that needs discernment. If, after checking the English dictionary, you disagree with the concept (it is unreferenced anyway), feel free to change it to a more accurate description. As long as it is in accordance with Piotr's views, I don't think that you will find much opposition to your changes. --Jdemarcos (talk) 10:28, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Category:Articles requiring a direct DNB link
"He was fortunate to find allocation of lodging at Court, without which an aspiring courtier had to seek permission from the King, and a potentially ruinous bill for accommodation near Hampton Court. He pleaded with Cromwell that banishment from court would mean utter disgrace and penury."  I don't understand what this is trying to say.  Was Cromwell's place considered allocation of lodging?  Did Sadlier plead at age 6?  These sentences are nonsensical in the context of what came before.

Talk:Reginald Scot

message: Reading David Wootton's effort to ascribe Family of Love membership to R Scot, it strikes me as a valiant academic effort, but in the end it comes across as rather groping. It is speculative: the evidence offered is Wootton's own debatable interpretation of certain overlapping ideas. Wootton doesn't seem to consider enough beyond the English Channel whereas the majority of Scot's argument is for or against numerous sources from the continent. To me it seems best to focus on a fuller understanding of Scot's actual citations before going too far into speculation about mysterious maybe-sources. Lewismr (talk) 17:35, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

message: The Lord of Cherbury, as in lordship of a manor, used in the article heading ought to be parenthesised as a distinction from other Richard Herberts who may have articles in their own right, but it would be incorrect to use these three words as if it was a title of same footing as a peerage.

message: The Richard Herbert who was twice High Sheriff of Montgomeryshire in 1576 and 1583 is given as being of 'Park, Llanwnog'.

message: "Being a man of no principle, and solely bent on a distinguished ecclesiastical career..."
Not that I am qualified to edit this section, but I am pretty sure that whoever wrote this has never met Richard Sampson. Also, there are no surviving documents that would provide such insights into his personality and personal motivations. 
I just don't think that one person's ill-informed exageration or embellishment, or whatever that is, should be one of the few things people think they know about him. 
Can someone please make that paragraph sound like an encyclopedia entry, rather than the intoductory sentence for a gothic romance novel?
thanks.
