Talk:Karl Ritter von Ghega

message: The name von Ghega may sound pretty with the Albanian designation Ghegs; but according to the authors of Encyclopedia of North American Railroads – page 493, Carl Ritter von Ghega was "An ethnic Italian". --Vannucci (talk) 15:33, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey, , hope you're well. It's somewhat more complex than that. In general, we should rely more on secondary bibliography that deals with the given subject extensively because WP:TERTIARY sources like Encyclopedia of North American Railroads, tend to gloss over relatively minor subjects like Carl Ghega's family tree within its 1225 pages in terms of equating place of origin with ethnicity without further discussion. A very recent paper about him with many details about his family tree is  which about his family tree writes  Beyond that aspect of his identity though, the article should focus on him as an engineer - the reason why he's notable even today. --Maleschreiber (talk) 20:37, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:   Not a good idea to include an Albanian source in this matter, since Albanian media make a big noise about the origin of famous people, which have during these years got out of hand. The source you mention is not convincing and doesn't add up and can very well consist of false evidence, which can be done with ease. In the meantime the source Encyclopedia of North American Railroads is the way to go. If there are better sources which can confirm without a doubt that von Ghega was of Albanian origin then I would allow it. --Vannucci (talk) 11:50, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  According to the source Dictionary of American Family Names - page 31, Ghegan is an Italian surname. Other sources do not mention Albanian language knowledge. According to the source Export: Austrian Architecture in Europe - page 14, Despite his family's Italian descent he was raised as an Austrian and grew up speaking three languages (German, Italian, Slovenian). --Vannucci (talk) 09:09, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Talk:List of adjectivals and demonyms for subcontinental regions

message: Since in English the citation form for nouns is the singular form (if it exists), all the English demonyms should appear in that form rather than in the plural.
The text as it is now written seems to imply that listing the plural form makes it easy to state the rule for forming the singular form (= remove the final ), but the fact remains that in English the singular form is the citation form (the entry heads for nouns in English dictionaries, for example, are the singular forms and the plurals are the entries heads only for pluralia tantum -- nouns not occurring in the singular -- such as economics and physics)and it is just as easy to state the rule for forming the plural form (add ) as it is the way the article in Wiki is now set up (delete the ).
In summary, I see no justification for being exceptional by listing the plural form.

thread_title:  The citation form is the singular form 

message: Regarding this edit by user:Rodw, this is a list of names (“adjectival and demonyms”), and not of specific geographical regions that can be fixed by border markers or map polygons. The names have represented multiple concepts both simultaneously and changing over time, and continue to be used within various historical, geographical, and political contexts. 
Rusʹ, for example, continued to be the native name of Red Ruthenia into the sixteenth century, and remains the native name of the homeland of the Rusyns today, and the changed link overly restricts its meaning. 
Subcarpathia and Transcarpathia are also best linked to the disambiguation pages, because they are simultaneously used in an opposite manner, e.g., from the contexts of Ukraine and Hungary, across the Carpathians from each other (Ukraine’s Zakarpattia oblast, literally “Transcarpathia,” is in Subcarpathian Rus, podkarpatsʹka Rusʹ, literally “Subcarpathian Ruthenia,” as defined from the Austro-Hungarian view). —Michael Z. 17:03, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Charles Thilorier

message: This article incorrectly claims that "Charles Thilorier" discovered dry ice.  This claim is based on the article:
Duane H. D. Roller (July 1952) "Thilorier and the first solidification of a 'permanent' gas," Isis, 43 :  109-113.
Thilorier wrote a number of articles on gases, their properties and their liquefaction; however, he (almost) always gave his name merely as "Thilorier".  Roller tried to find who Thilorier was.  Roller thought that he'd identified Thilorier as "Charles Thilorier".  The claim is based on a footnote in this book:
Arnaud Paul Edmond Thénard, Un grand Français:  Le chimiste Thénard, 1777-1857 (Dijon, France:  Jobard, 1950).  
The author, Paul Thénard, wrote a biography of his father, Louis-Jacques Thénard, a chemist.  On page 176 of Thénard's book, he states that he knows only that "Charles-Saint-Ange Thilorier" was a student at the Ecole Polytechnique and that he was probably the son of Jean-Charles Thilorier.  It does NOT state that Charles Thilorier discovered dry ice.  
So Roller's article really provides no evidence that Charles Thilorier discovered dry ice.
The man who discovered dry ice was actually Adrien-Jean-Pierre Thilorier (1790-1844).
He is identified explicitly in a French patent (#2896) for a machine to compress gas ("une machine à comprimer le gaz"), which was awarded on May 16, 1831.  The patent appears here:
(Ministre du Commerce), Descriptions des Machines et Procédés Consignés dans les Brevets d'Invention,  …  [Descriptions of the machines and processes contained in the invention patents, … ], (Paris, France:  Huzard, 1836), volume 30, pages 251-267.
He is identified as an employee of the postal service (l'Administration des postes) in Paris.  It is also mentioned that in 1829, the Academy of Sciences awarded his invention the Montyon prize for mechanical inventions.  
With this information, Adrien Thilorier can be identified as the author of two papers that Roller cites as having been written by "A. Thilorier", one of which identifies "A. Thilorier" as the man who first prepared dry ice:
A. Thilorier (1836) "Acide carbonique liquéfié et solidifié"  (Liquified and solidified carbonic acid [i.e., carbon dioxide]), Journal de Chimie médicale, de Pharmacie, et de Toxicologie, … , 2nd series, 2 :  3-8.
From this information, Adrien can be shown to be the author of all of the other papers and inventions by "Thilorier".  Adrien can further be identified as a lawyer who resided in Paris and who worked for the postal service, and as the son of Jean-Charles Thilorier, a lawyer who was interested in science. 
All of this work has already been done by French researchers; see, for example,
Joost Mertens (2003) "Du côté d’un chimiste nommé Thilorier:  Balthazar Claës modèle d’Adrien Thilorier," L'Année balzacienne, 1 (4) :  251-263. 
Since this article is incorrect, it should be deleted.  Meanwhile, I'm preparing an article on Adrien Thilorier.
