Talk:Louis Vasquez

message: DONNER PARTY
Perhaps the role he played with the ill-fated Donner Party should be included.  It is said that Vasquez deliberately withheld a letter from another traveller warning the Donner's not take the shortcut which doomed them.  Vasquez did this because he wanted greater traffic on that road because it passsed Bridger's Fort.  The tradiitonal California Trail did not pass Bridger's Fort, but Fort Hall.  Cetainly the fact that he played a key role in one on the most famous events of American expansion is worthy of inclusion in this article.  If there are no objections I will soon add this information (with a link).

Talk:Princess Louise Augusta of Denmark

message: Her son did not success to the Danish throne because that's not how the Danish success law worked, not (primarily at least) because of her questionable paternity. As I understand it, Denmark had semi-Salic succession among the descendants of Frederick III. That means you go to the next male line heir as long as there is one, and then if there aren't any you go to the nearest female line relation of the last king. So when Frederick VI dies, it passes to his cousin, Christian VIII as the male line heir, rather than to his sister. Christian VIII is succeeded by his son Frederick VII, and then when he dies we look to the closest relations of Frederick VII. So we go to his father's sister, Princess Charlotte, and her descendants. After Charlotte and her son and eldest surviving daughter renounced their claims, that left her third daughter, Princess Louise as heiress. In order to (attempt to) keep the Duchies with Denmark, Louise renounced in favor of her husband, Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, who was a distant descendant of the royal house in the male line (but whose claim to the Danish throne came from his wife). john k (talk) 12:31, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  To Cleaner-Uppers 

message: I added an unreferenced flag. There are actually a few references (or at least external links), but they do not cover the full article, and they are not reliable or verifiable. Any source that claims to know for sure that he knew 68 languages, and that he mastered them all to perfection, is likely out of touch with reality. The external link from Weikopf makes this claim, at the same time as it gives a statement from himself at the age of 47 when he claims to be able to translate correctly into only seven foreign languages. The number 68 then implies that he learnt writing in 61 languages during the last sixteen years of his life, and that he kept all of them alive. I am willing to believe that only when I see what he has written. Mlewan (talk) 09:59, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:The Four Horsemen (band)

message: An appeal to American Records: in an objective way, create a better entry than this - Dimwit and Frank deserve more, as does the band.
I agree, I loved this band and still regularly listen to thier music. They were unlucky in so many ways and thier music desrved a far wider audience than it ever managed to achieve. I've done my best to clean this up, but it would be nice if someone from one of the labels could flesh it out more.  --ThePaintedOne 15:59, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Three years later and having been prompted by a passing editor who tagged the article, I had a good look and realised the article quality was rather low. No inline cites, poor formatting, etc. I've done a major re-write, adding cites and updating the history to reflect some new cites I found. The exact ordering of some events (esp around the breakup of the band, Dimwit's death and the recording and release of the second album) is not hugely clear from the various refs, which slightly contradict each other. I think I've got the gist of it, but if anyone wants to update (with refs) to a different version please go ahead. I think the article is about as good as it can be now for a band who while excellent (still one of my all time favorites 20 years later), were not hugely notable and aren't likely to ever do much else now.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 08:58, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

This sentence is ambiguous.  Did Ricci commit suicide, or did he just end up for his last days, "in a hospital in Prague"?  The brevity of his commitment, and that it ended with the end of the year, suggests suicide, but if so, it should be explicitly said. 2607:F470:E:22:701C:DC84:8B38:DA23 (talk) 21:56, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Luigi, Count Cibrario

message: The origin of the House of Savoy was not merely a diatribe internal to the Italian noble families. 
It is a juridical issue on the ownership of the common and demanial good. This aspect applies to a private house built uo on a land estate whise surfase property roghts are taken by a noble family, as well as to an entrapreneurial activity developed on a similar property, like a seaside resort realized on a beach whose property belongs to a public local administration or to the national state property.
Common Law is far different from the Roman public law concerning the discipline of the medieval common good charaterized by a diffused small private property and collective management. While the Common Law enforces landlords' right with the leasehold system and a leasehold estate rights which typically expire after 99 years of location. At the end of the period the ladlord becomes owner of all what had been built up in its property, since his surface property right is granted by law to prevail to the property rights which pertain to the housekeepers and estate entrapreneurs. 
On the contrary, in the Roman Law, the property right is extended from the subsoil to the sky, and therefore it can't be ordinarily distinguished from a surface property right. Morevoer, the usucaption establishes that after a period of ù 20 years an estate would become private property of the holders of the usufruct. Except for special derogatory rights ensured by law to the public administrations, the usucaption results on being incompatible with a 99-years leasehold estate.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.14.138.162 (talk) 10:10, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

message: McGregor Laird wrote an 1844 piece (book or pamphlet)  entitled "The effect of an alteration in the sugar duties on the condition of the people of England and the Negro race considered", published by E Wilson, Royal Exchange. In 1846 Britain passed the Sugar Duties Act, eliminating the favorable tariff on West Indies sugar and shifting the trade in favor of India, which was thought to be good because India didn't have formal slavery (though the treatment of workers was awful). It seems that Laird's contribution to this debate would be worth following up.  There's a LOC copy of the book, which I haven't yet read.   Polysinger (talk) 17:47, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Efunroye Tinubu

message: I added this section to the page to provide a balanced perspective of the subject's alleged volte face from slavery 
Notably, assertions of Tinubu's slavery volte face are unsubstantiated. There is no recording of a public renunciation of slavery and I hope that through this Talk Page section more information can be unearthed to enrich the article. 
Updates from user with IP address 141.0.149.26 also introduces an unsubstantiated distinction that obfuscates per IP address 141.0.149.26's accompanying note that curiously deleted properly sourced information from Yemitan's biography:
IP address 141.0.149.26's update also deleted a key discrepancy that weakens the claim of Tinubu as an abolitionist: Tinubu violated the terms of the 1852 Treaty abolishing slavery in Lagos (documented in the main Wikipedia article). 
Additionally, some of the sources for the volte face claims that Tinubu was banished from Lagos because of her anti slavery position when substantiated accounts in the main article have her trading secretly in slaves & undermining the treaty she was supposedly in support of.

They have the same birth and death years, and "Máire Bhuí Ní Laoire" is an alternate name on Maura Bwee O'Leary.

(That any appropriately referenced/relevant content be merged from Maura Bwee O'Leary to Máire Bhuí Ní Laoghaire. And that the former be redirected to the latter. Not only because it predates it by the guts of a decade. But because it seems more appropriately titled/referenced/stable/etc.) In terms of the content to merge, I would note (however) that, from my own review, much of the content at Maura Bwee O'Leary seems either (a) uncited, (b) editorial in tone or (c) directly conflicting with the cited text at Máire Bhuí Ní Laoghaire.
