Talk:David Teniers the Younger

message: I have read that there should be a painting of Teniers, in private hands somewhere in the UK. It should be called "The Village Semster" and may be mentioned in John Smith, A Catalogue Raisonné of the Works of the most Eminent Dutch, Flemish and French Painters, London: Smith and Son, 1829-42. It is more then probably the village of Zemst, Belgium. Does someone have a key where i could admire this painting? --Alcid (talk) 18:19, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Victorian connoisseurship 

message: Under the heading "Life: Court painter in Brussels", the fourth paragraph, sixth sentence, reads "The couple had four children, two sons and two boys." I suspect that the editor who added this intended to say either "two sons and two daughters", or "two boys and two girls", since "sons" and "boys" are the same.  Can anyone clear this up? Bricology (talk) 06:33, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  "...two sons and two boys" 

message: Another editor has offered no explanation for their edit which eliminates several useful internal links, garbles some sentences, and creates other problems. Examples: this article is in Category:Flemish Baroque painters, which is appropriate—any reliable source will confirm that Teniers is a Baroque painter or a painter of the Baroque period. Per WP:CATV, "It should be clear from verifiable information in the article why it was placed in each of its categories", but this edit eliminates the relevant text while retaining the category. Any reader not versed in art history is probably better served by a reference to "genres such as history painting, genre painting, landscape, portrait and still life" than by the proposed "genres such as history, genre, landscape, portrait and still life" ("genres such as genre" may puzzle some). The Apshoven jpg visually supports the nearby text; why cut it? "The peasant genre, the tavern scene and scenes with alchemists and physicians" seem better described as subjects than as themes. The last sentence in the first paragraph of the "Influence" section should not begin with a lower case letter. I'm a little indifferent about elimination of the sales record, but it is sourced, and the IPs give no rationale for removal. One or two other changes are sensible and I've incorporated them.

message: The article needs help, it zig-zags through his life in no particular order. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 08:12, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I wandered into some other members of the family and added some details to the body, and it looks like you worked on it a bit as well. But it needs work on the "flow" with a real summary for lede. For example, clarifying the two wars plus the time in between. I think a major problem was that it started out being just about the character in an old film that nobody hardly remembers any more. I would say something like "..was an American martial arts expert from a wealthy family." or something like that in the first sentence. He has been written up by the press independently enough that focusing on the film seems undue weight to me. I might have some time to work on it in the next few days unless you or someone else wants to take a stab (pardon the pun). W Nowicki (talk) 17:24, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Baron North

message: This article said (of the two sisters of the last Baron):
:Neither has petitioned to terminate the abeyance; if they fail to do so by 2042 or they both die the title will almost certainly enter permanent abeyance as none of their daughters will meet the criteria to make a valid claim.
What is this supposed to mean? If a co-heiress of an abeyant title has several daughters, her share of the abeyant title is divided among them; but this just means more potential claimants to the tontine that is an abeyance.

Talk:Bathonian Series

message: This overlaps a little with Bathonian. Is it the same thing? I know nothing about the topic; I just came across this while doing Encyclopaedia Britannica Eleventh Edition cleanup. It seems likely to me that the current article (verbatim from EB1911) would need to be updated in any case (surely the geological descriptions aren't current?) Bathonian itself doesn't include the detailed history and geography though. I expect it would require a geology geek to take this article's text and update it before merging.

He is the father of the famous Steve FitzGibbon and grandfather of Lachlan FitzGibbon currently of the Newcastle Knights in the NRL." The statement regarding loyalty to Elizabeth I is uncited and unclear. I may add a replacement statement with reference later on. The statement regarding "Steve Fitzgibbon" is a bit silly, as it's totally unclear who this Steven is. The statement regarding Lachlan Fitzgibbon is obviously false, considering Edmund Fitzgibbon died in 1608, is it extremely unlikely he is the grandfather of an active rugby player.

Talk:Edward Doty

message: I believe Piano non troppo goes too far in removing the notable descendants section.  He says that Doty has thousands of notable descendants.  Doty has thousands of descendants, but only a few are notable.  All of the descendants on this list except one were truely notable with wikipedia biographies of their own.  The exception, John Andrew Johnson, had been recently added, and I have now undone his name, as I have removed a previous non-notable entry. Limiting the list to notable descendants keeps this from becoming a linkfarm or genealogical catalog.  The list does not contain genealogical links and would be worthless for genealogical purposes.

thread_title: Untitled

message: The following passage appears to be duplicated in several Wikipedia articles about Mayflower passengers. Should it be deleted or rewritten?
:The small, 100-foot ship had 102 passengers and a crew of about 30–40 in extremely cramped conditions. By the second month out, the ship was being buffeted by strong westerly gales, causing the ship's timbers to be badly shaken with caulking failing to keep out sea water, and with passengers, even in their berths, lying wet and ill. This, combined with a lack of proper rations and unsanitary conditions for several months, attributed to what would be fatal for many, especially the majority of women and children.  On the way there were two deaths, a crew member and a passenger, but the worst was yet to come after arriving at their destination when, in the space of several months, almost half the passengers perished in cold, harsh, unfamiliar New England winter.

message: I don't have time to rewrite it now, but the mention of Stephen Hopkins is incorrect. He did not serve under John Smith at Jamestown — Smith was back in England by the time the Sea Venture colonists arrived after being shipwrecked in Bermuda. The total time Hopkins was involved in Jamestown, from leaving England until returning was probably about six years off the top of my head. This is all easily confirmed from his own WP page.

If Dyer were a major candidate such as Oxford or Marlowe there would be some material on the page and a link to the Dyer theory article.

IMO this article is not related to the SAQ, nor are the biographical articles of the very minor and mostly forgotten Shakespeare authorship candidates. If those articles were, say, G-rated articles at the very least, I don't think a sentence or two would be out of place, but to include them in the navigation template is, I think, a stealth WP:COATRACK.

Talk:Edward Latymer

message: The Bell Inn and the Angel Inn were on different sites.  Both appear on the same 1865 edition of the 1:2500 Ordnance Survey map.  The Bell Inn was on Fore Street opposite the junction with Trafalgar Place (roughly at coordinates N51:36:47 W0:03:55).  The site is now a council estate and a shopping parade.
The Angel Inn was approximately 210 metres to the north of the Bell Inn on the north-west corner of the junction of Silver Street and Fore Street, and was demolished to make way for the A406 North Circular underpass.
The Angel Inn was quite close to the bridge that took Fore Street over Pymmes Brook so was most likely the correct location of Edward Latymer's property.--MJLemin (talk) 09:19, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Edward Littleton, 1st Baron Lyttelton

message: In general Lyttelton is frequently misspelt Lyttleton, probably because we have the spelling "little" and the earlier family spelling of "Littleton" (rather like the spelling of Duke of Wellington's name from Wesley to Wellesley).  Although all three spellings are used for this man's title and it is possible that his was spelt Lyttleton, the Dictionary of National Biography spells his title Lyttelton  p. 369 of Volume 34 and  in Volume 33 p. 366 his entry is given as "Littleton, Edward, Lord Littleton". 
In a detailed biography of him (John Campbell Campbell, Lives of the Lord Chancellors and Keepers of the Great Seal of England: From the Earliest Times Till the Reign of King George IV, John Murray, 1857 p. 281) gives his title as "Lord Littleton of Mounslow". So given these two sources I am going to move the page and put in another link to cover the Lyttelton spelling. -- PBS (talk) 03:03, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
