Talk:Treaty of Edinburgh–Northampton

message: Edward may always have thought of Northampton as a turpis pax but he did not repudiate it until his open intervention in favour of Edward Balliol in 1333, three years after he took charge of affairs in England.
Rcpaterson 05:55, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Turpis Pax 

message: Though it is very often said that this treaty granted or confirmed Scotland's present boundaries it is not quite as clear as one might assume.
The exact wording (translated from the French original) includes "We will and grant by these presents, for us, our heirs and successors whatsover, with the common advice, assent and consent of the prelates, princes, earls, barons and the commons of our realm in our Parliament, that the Kingdom of Scotland, within its own proper marches as they were held and maintained in the time of King Alexander of Scotland..."
The problem lies in the precise meaning of the expression "within its own proper marches as they were held and maintained in the time of King Alexander of Scotland". This could properly be read as meaning only the lands north of the Forth, since Alexander only held the Lowlands having been granted the land personally as an English Lord owing feudal duty for it to the King of England - in other words these lands which included Edinburgh were (and 'always' had been) part of England and had thus never been part of the 'proper marches' of the 'Kingdom of Scotland'. The inhabitants of these lands were at that time unquestionably English and not in any sense Scots.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.5.7.5 (talk) 15:57, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Or did it?..... 

message: The terms of the treaty were that Scotland pay England £100,000, not £20,000, in silver within ten years. The figure can be confirmed on the on-line Scots parialmentary archives 17th March 1328. I've corrected the main text.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.12.99.105 (talk) 14:02, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Sextus Pompey

message: Alright, can someone please cite where Sextus Pompeius' cognomina came from? I, for one, have never heard him referred to as Magnus Pius.
the picture on the coin shows Magnus Pius
:One helpful source on this is:
*Ronald Syme, “Imperator Caesar: A Study in Nomenclature,” Historia 7 (1958) 172–188, reprinted in Roman Papers (vol. 1, I think).
Not just on Caesar and Augustus; good section on the names used by the sons of Pompeius.
I could be wrong, but I don't think "Sextus Pompey" reflects the most common modern usage. I don't recall ever seeing it. It points up the problems in using the anglicized form Pompey for Pompeius, when WIki editors otherwise take great care to use authentic nomenclature — the use of Mark Antony and Pompey stand out as anachronisms by contrast.Cynwolfe (talk) 17:26, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cognomina 

message: A section of this article keeps being edited claiming that Sextus Pompeius married his great-grand niece Scribonia, granddaughter of his sister Pompeia Magna. Sextus and Pompeia are only a few years apart (reference: Moses Hadas-Sextus Pompeius). 
Again, if Pompeia married Faustus Sulla around the year 58 bc or probably later (after her father Pompey had married Julia Caesaris in 59 bc), simply do the math: any first child would be born around the year 56bc, and before Cornelia Sulla there was Faustus Sulla II and Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix. Then you need to add at least 15 years for Cornelia to become of a marriageable age. Then add one or two years for her to have her first kid, and another 15 to 20 years for her daughter to be able to marry. That takes us to around 25 BC and Sextus had already been dead for 10 years by then (he was killed in 35 bc).
Sextus' wife Scribonia was the daughter of Lucius Scribonius Libo (consul of 34bc) and a woman of the Galba family (gens Sulpicius). The sister of this Scribonius Libo was the first wife of Octavian and mother of his only known daughter Julia.Wehemesut (talk) 20:16, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sextus and Scribonia 

message: From the article (which is otherwise well-written): "His [Sextus Pompeius'] violent death would be one of the weapons used by Octavian against Antony several years later, when the situation between the two reached a boiling point."

Talk:Belo Jegonfoy

message: Assuming the three sets of census figures from 1994, 2005 and 2007 are accurate, shouldn't the article say something about why the population more than doubled between 2005 and 2007?  And why the percentage of Protestants in the population nearly doubled from 1994 to 2007, while the percentage of Ethiopian Orthodox Christians stayed the same?  Or why those practicing traditional beliefs in 2007 was only one-tenth of what it was 13 years earlier?
Without some elaboration, the figures from 2007 seem very suspect.  Also, the presentation of those figures is confusing.

Talk:Poznań Cathedral

message: The name of the building in English should be "Archcathedral".   Where other languages use the prefix "archi-" for church terminology, English uses "arch-".  For example: Latin archiepiscopus, English archbishop.  Chonak 06:13, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed it, since a Google search brought up more hits for "Archcathedral." Even so, I'm sort of wary of the word all together. It may be better in English to simply refer to it as a "Metropolitan Cathedral" or something. I'm also unsure of the precedent of having the ",Poznań" in there as part of the title.

message: Given that the Light Novels have their own article, it is better to simply replace all the book chapters links with just the single light novel article link.  Then followed by the anime link.  In other words, categorize by medium.  Plus, having the anime linked to just book 1 is inaccurate. KyuuA4
:I think I see what you mean; so you plan on simply removing all 10 novel links? And I'm not sure what you mean about "having the anime linked to just book 1". The anime has the same title as the first novel, and currently it would be inaccurate to go with Haruhi Suzumiya (anime) since a second season hasn't been announced yet. The lead at The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (anime) states that content from other novels were in the anime as well.--十八 00:47, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Please discuss, at least help me understand the assessment. :) Salvidrim (talk) 14:00, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Assessment#Quality scale is the bar I used in assessing the article. The definition of a C-class article is quite a low standard, with the expectation that there are still noticeable problems to fix. To me, the main problem is simply a lack of information available, which isn't a reflection on the quality of what is actually in the article. Prose style, formatting and MOS-compliance are all of a higher-than-C standard, but brevity and a lack of broad coverage keep it below that. Given that the next step up from C-class, B-class, has a well-defined checklist of criteria as opposed to the "go with your gut" Stub/Start/C ratings, the quality of C-class article can vary dramatically, from those which just clear the bar, to those which are essentially B-class but miss one criterion, or anywhere in between.

The format meant an eclectic mix and a wide variety of music (all songs on an album instead of the "hits" as an example}, and disk jokey control of what music was played. Southern Rock was played as part of this eclectic mix and was played often in the middle and late 1970s because Long Island was the place outside of the south where the genre was most popular at the time.
