Talk:Richard Strode (fl. 1512)

message: The Strodes of Devonshire are a famous tin mining family with a long history.  They appear to have lived in and around Plympton for centuries.  Unfortunately, as with such families, names tend to get recycled quite a bit.  I did some extensive searching and discovered a genealogical record for a Richard Strode who was born in Devonshire around 1480 and died in 1522.  There's little doubt that this Strode is from the famous mining family, but I can't verify whether he is the same Richard Strode who is the subject of this article.  He is, however, the only Richard Strode I've found who was an adult at the time of Strode's Act.  Verification of the birth and death dates would be appreciated. —Psychonaut 03:32, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: His History of Parliament biog  is deliberately vague about his identity, but is fairly certain he was of the family of Strode of Newnham in the parish of Plympton St Mary, Devon, which family possessed one of the two seats in their  pocket borough of Plympton Erle, which was subsequently occupied by many members of the family. HoP biog: "he must have belonged to the well known family of Ermington and Newnham in Plympton St. Mary, but he cannot be confidently identified with either the younger son of the Richard Strode who had sat for Plympton in 1437 and 1447...". He was probably the younger brother of William Strode (d.1518), son of Richard Strode (d.1464) i.e. "Richard Strode who had sat for Plympton in 1437 and 1447...". ". (see  Vivian, Lt.Col. J.L., (Ed.) The Visitation of the County of Devon: Comprising the Heralds' Visitations of 1531, 1564 & 1620, Exeter, 1895, p.718, pedigree of Strode of Newnham). As the HoP biog states, at the time of his 1512 bill he was relatively poor, but that is surely still consistent with him having inherited his paternal estates later in 1518 as heir to his brother. The HoP article seems confused in its reasoning here. But without a source stating that argument, the best that can therefore be said of his dated is: floruit 1512, when his bill was introduced into parliament. The source given above "genealogical record for a Richard Strode" is not credible as a source for his life dates. His HoP biog does not  venture to give any dates at all for his life. It is also I suggest not an unreasonable rendering of the HoP biog ("he cannot be confidently identified with...") to say that he was "possibly the younger son of Richard Strode (d.1464)".

message: Hi folks,
A simple review of the sources used in the biological QNN section reveals that most of the content of this section is pseudoscientific, some even with blatantly commercial motives (like selling pseudoscientific devices for use in alternative medicine). Most of the content of this section has little or nothing to do with quantum mechanics or neural networks as far as the majority of the article is concerned. I think this section was added by proponents of the pseudoscience in order to give their products a bit more legitimacy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.16.172.130 (talk) 04:48, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: The concept of the "party bus" originated as a fun and unique way to transport groups of people, often friends or partygoers, while providing an enjoyable and festive atmosphere. The idea combines the convenience of transportation with the lively ambiance of a party. While the exact origin of the party bus may be difficult to pinpoint, it gained popularity over the years and has become a distinctive form of group transportation and entertainment. In the late 20th century, especially during the 1980s and 1990s, various regions and cities saw the emergence of modified buses or vans that were transformed into mobile party venues. These vehicles were equipped with features such as sound systems, lighting, dance floors, seating, and sometimes even mini-bars. The goal was to create an exciting environment where passengers could have a great time while moving between destinations. The party bus concept resonated with people who were looking for a unique way to celebrate special occasions, such as birthdays, bachelor or bachelorette parties, prom nights, and other group events. The trend continued to grow, and party bus services began to offer more elaborate amenities and customization options to cater to different preferences and themes. Over time, party buses have evolved to include various sizes and styles, from smaller vans to larger buses capable of accommodating larger groups. Some party buses are equipped with luxurious amenities, including high-end sound systems, LED lighting, comfortable seating, entertainment options like TVs and karaoke machines, and even facilities for refreshments. The party bus industry has become a significant niche within the transportation and entertainment sectors, offering a unique way for people to celebrate and have fun together while traveling. It's important to note that regulations and safety standards vary by location, so reputable party bus operators prioritize passenger safety and adhere to local laws and regulations. Overall, the party bus phenomenon is a testament to people's creativity and desire to turn ordinary experiences into memorable and exciting adventures.

The only times I herd Shawville refered to Cat City was from our own child translation of the name and in high school in Aylmer, not in Shawville.  I have never heard it refered to Cat City from within the town, which is another reason to remove it.
