Talk:Plain view doctrine

message: I don't belive that the object has to be discovered accidentally for the third prong.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.165.209.171 (talk • contribs) 
:By discovered accidentally, it means the intent of the search was not to discover the object. I am relatively sure this is an element  of the test, but if you can find a source that says otherwise, we can correct it. --Cspurrier 19:18, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct, IP user; a plain view seizure can be valid even if the discovery of the evidence is not inadvertent or accidental. The whole "inadvertence" thing started in 1971, with a U.S. Supreme Court plurality opinion in Coolidge v. New Hampshire, 403 U.S. 443, which (among other things) dealt with the plain view doctrine. The Coolidge plurality held that even if an item is in plain view, it may not be lawfully seized without a warrant unless the police first comply with three conditions: [1] the police must lawfully be in a position to observe the item, [2] the incriminating nature of the item is immediately apparent ; and [3] the discovery of the item was inadvertent. However, in Horton v. California, 496 U.S. 128 (1990), a majority of the Court dispensed with the "inadvertence" requirement, holding that even if police seized evidence in plain view that they expected to find (i.e. the seizure was NOT "inadvertent"), seizures of evidence in plain view were justified even if they only complied with the lawfully-in-position and immediately-apparent conditions. Coolidge can be found at http://supreme.justia.com/us/403/443/case.html (the plain view discussion is in part II-C), and Horton can be found at http://supreme.justia.com/us/496/128/case.html. 66.171.140.229 01:50, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Cuthbert Bullitt

message: The image shown is correctly identified as being an early printed version of Mathew Harris Jouett's portrait of Cuthbert Bullitt, but it is of a later relative, Cuthbert Bullitt (1774-1825) noted Louisville banker/businessman. It should be removed from the primary information for Cuthbert Bullitt (c1740-1791) as it is misleading.
According to E.C. Pennington, in his book "Matthew Harris Jouett (1788-1827), His Life and Work" (2020), p. 154, the portrait from which this simpler printed version was made, dates to c1818. This portrait can also be seen in the Frick Digital Image Archives here:

message: We should disambiguate this page.  There's a Daniel O'Reilly, a politician from somewhere in New York State (the article's a stub).

Talk:David Nitschmann der Bischof

message: The written biography identifies December 18 in 1695/1696 as David Nitschmann der Bischof's birthdate. But the photograph of his grave marker in the Wikipedia article very clearly identifies Dec. 21, 1696 as the date of his birth. Is the grave marker wrong?  Was there some sort of "odd" Moravian calendar that was off by 3 days compared to the modern calendar? Or is the Wikipedia claim of a Dec. 18 birthdate incorrect?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.234.194.205 (talk) 13:22, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Dorothea Celesia

message: I found the poem Indolence at play.google.com and noticed it is not a blank verse but heroic couplet. Of course, the measure (iambic pentameter) is the same but there are regular rhymes in Dorothea Celesia's work. 
:Let loftier Poets touch a bolder string, 
:Hail, Indolence, thy powerful charms I sing; 
:In soothing strains majestically flow, 
:O teach these numbers without art to flow! 
:May they steal gently thro' each tranquil breast. 
:And lull by soft degrees the Soul to rest.

Talk:International Grape Genome Program

message: I've created this article primarily due to its bearing on viticulture and don't profess to anything  more than an basic understanding of applied genomics. It would doubtless benefit from either elaboration, editing or even re-writing in parts, especially as the project is still in its early stages. I would also encourage any citeable dissenting views on the subject of GM grapes. mikaultalk 23:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Biological copyedit needed! 

message: "White wine residues have been discovered in ancient Egyptian pottery remains, hence the conclusion that this mutation must have occurred at least three thousand years ago." I suggest this should read something like "Wine residues containing white wine grape genetic material have been discovered in ..." to avoid implying that white wine is necessarily made from white wine grapes, when that is not the case.
:Good point, but I'm not sure if that's true; the two sources I've seen quoting the 'Egypt' comment make no reference to any genetic testing and given that it refers to research prior to the grape genome program, I have my doubts. Of course if you can find a source describing the tests carried out on this residue (in a vesel dicovered in Tutankhamun's tomb, apparently) I'd agree it would be a lot less ambiguous. It 's a bit of a wild supposition, is my feeling, more of a nice PR way of saying that all known white grape varieties have a lineage predating the earliest discoveries of wine, but that's the way it was announced. mikaultalk 10:29, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I also could not find more info on whether it really was white wine based on white grapes.

message: It seems strange to record Ebenezer Kinnersley's nationality as British.... he left those shores when he was three year's old.
Also a little odd to refer to him as an "American Citizen"; granted he died exactly 2 years after the Declaration of Independence and lived in suburban Philidelphia (independent capital), but this was the twilight of his life, in old age and ill-health.  What was Kinnersley's stance on Independence?  Is there any evidence he accepted American Citizenship?

Talk:Edward Harley (Parliamentarian)

message: As of the date of this Talk comment, this article says that one notable son (Robert Harley) of this article's subject (Edward Harley), was, later, Earl of Oxford. That's wrong. Robert Harley was created "1st Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer", which is ONE Earldom. Similarly the title "Earl of Oxford and Asquith" created later is ONE Earldom. Wikipedia contradicts itself on whether the Earldom of Oxford is extinct or is dormant. But the article on the title itself consistently says dormant, not extinct. Most likely is that it is considered dormant, because if it could be locked down that it went extinct when the last title-holder died then the Crown wouldn't have balked at re-using the name. The problem with re-using the name when you aren't CERTAIN that a title is extinct is that the 1st Earl of Oxford could for all we know have a living descendant (male-line if need be) who would, if he attempted it, succeed at claiming the older title, and then you'd have two Earls of Oxford at the same time. This is not NEVER done (Earl of Mar), but the Crown would like it to be as rare as possible.2603:7000:9906:A91C:1C64:8308:33BC:E2D6 (talk) 23:05, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
