Talk:David Lewis (adventurer)

message: Morning Star - Peter Frost - The curious twin lives of Dr David Lewis, 15 January 2021: "David Henry Lewis was both a communist London GP and perhaps the most colourful seafaring adventurer of the second half of the last century."       ←   ZScarpia   21:04, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: This is very interesting, especially since the conservative views of similar figures in blue-water sailing are often taken for granted. We, the Navigators (1972) is an amazing book, deeply respectful of the skilled sailors and navigators described, who have a different relationship to the sea than British or Europeans intent on 'discovery' and conquest. Francis Chichester explicitly locates himself in the tradition of the so-called Clipper Way. David Lewis in 'Isbjorn' is completely different. He invites sailors with local knowledge to come on board and to teach him how they navigate. His training as a medical doctor gives him a foundation in scientific research which makes the book so valuable. 142.188.52.192 (talk) 18:46, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Sokhta Koh

message: A couple changes this otherwise excellent article needs:
1) The extended quote at the bottom is actually two quotes, and should be presented as such. The length of the quotes is a little too long. The article is copyrighted, it would be better to hold the quotes down to a couple sentences, each. (No, it doesn't matter, for Wikipedia, if you are the original writer, or otherwise own the material, Wikipedia material must be in the public domain.)
2) More footnotes should be added in the text, itself, particularly on statements that might be open to question. See, for example WP:IC.
3) Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and subjective comments that are appropriate in an essay aren't appropriate here. "difficult to appreciate", "rather anemic", "bound to reveal" and "little can be said" are subjective rhetorical devices that don't belong.
That all being said, the article made great reading, and I hope you plan to write more Wiki articles!!

Talk:Belle Meade, Tennessee

message: I edited the overview section as the previous version merely repeated more detailed information found elsewhere in the entry. Also the sentence describing it as "affluent" is not needed when there is detailed information about household income in the entry. If someone can cite information detailing its ranking of household income in the state or nation, then it may be relevant. But to merely say, "it is the most affluent part of Nashville" does not provide near the insight as that offered in the specific Census data found in the entry. Also, I removed references to Belle Meade Boulevard and "The Boulevard" because it made little sense. I think the street may be deserving of a section within the entry, but only if someone can add some depth of insight into its history, length, topography, beautification process, controversies surrounding its layout, etc. I also slightly edited the description of the city hall because it is used for many more purposes that those described. -- Rexhammock 04:54, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Talk:Friendship, Tennessee

message: There is a non chain drug store operated by a pharmacist whose father before him owned and operated the pharmacy. The pharmacy has a soda fountain with five cent cokes. It offers prescriptions by mail.
There is a cotton gin in the town.
(My information is based on a trip to Friendship in November 2006).
The Bank of Friendship is one of the main buildings on top of the hill in Friendship, TN. Surrounding buildings are now being renovated and restored. The Friendship Market has always been the town's grocery store, once owned by Scottie Nash (Nash's Grocery). The pharmacy is owned by Ham Haley and is operated with his son and other close family and friends. It still has the original building structure and design with a few perk ups along the way. Once upon a time the town had a bicycle shop, watch shop, dry goods store, furniture store, few beauty salons/parlors, billiard room, laundry mat, pizza, clothing, and several other businesses. It has fallen short over the years but the old town friendly welcoming still rings true.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.183.107.93 (talk) 14:57, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

While I do indeed feel quite nostalgic that, eventually, Germanic paganism died out, I think this header tries to construe, rather than make, a point about things that would best be treated on their respective article pages.

thread_title: The Nore

message: I found the etymology lacking and citations much earlier than 1732.
The River Nore was mentioned in the “Martyrology of Oengus the Culdee” (Félire Óengusso Céli Dé), published before 824. He spoke, in Old Irish, of “re taeb Eoire uarglaine” or “the cold-pure Nore.” 
dil.ie/42762.
Another reference, from before 1420, refers to “The fair wide plain of the Feoir" (Fiond-chlár fairsing na Feoire). 
Archive.org, ”The topographical poems of John O'Dubhagain and Giolla na naomh O'Huidhrin,” modern translation by John O’Donovan published in 1862.
In the archival records on the Irish topographical names website, Logainm.ie, it says that in 1636 (Modern Irish times) it was mentioned as “na hEoire + le taobh Eóire.”
https://www.logainm.ie/en/67254
Etymology:
Irish nouns are masculine or feminine. The Irish term for the River Nore, An Fheoir, is feminine. The word for grass, Féar, is masculine. It seems unlikely that Féar could be the source of the river’s name, except distantly. While the more likely source words are feminine, they do sometimes involve grass or rushes. 
Dinneen's dictionary (first printed 1927, reprinted 1996), defined it on page 447:
“Feoir g. -e, and Feorach, f. border, brim, edge; a stream or rivulet; An Fheoir, the Nore (g. -e, al. An Eoir); al. Feor, cf. feora.” 
Foclóir Gaedhilge agus Béarla, Patrick S. Dinneen
[My note: the word Feoir, because it’s feminine, lenites to Fheoir when you put the article An in front of it. (An is the singular “the.”) I am not sure if lenition was relevant in Old Irish.]
“Feora, -rann, d. -ainn, pl. -anna, f., the green bank, edge or shore of sea, lake or river; a green sward; a verdant bank or patch on a mountain-side; a sandy level on the edge of the sea; a shore-village, a collection of cabins beside a stream…” 
Foclóir Gaedhilge agus Béarla, Patrick S. Dinneen
The Royal Irish Academy’s Dictionary of the Irish Language, or eDil edil.qub.ac.uk lists earlier versions of the related words:
feórann (fem.), A green bank or shoreland. dil.ie/21657
feórna n [gender unclear] a rush (plant) dil.ie/21658
 
Modern definitions at Ó Dónaill’s Foclóir Gaeilge-Béarla (1977), are:
feorainn, f. (gs. -ann, pl. -anna). 1. Grassy place; grassy riverside or shore. 2. Creeping bent-grass, fiorin. (Var: pl. feorna; feora f, feorthainn)
https://www.teanglann.ie/en/fgb/feorainn
feorán, m. (gs. & npl. -áin, gpl. ~).1 = feorainn. 2. ~ corraigh, water horehound, gipsywort.
