message: I had reason to ask where Dryford was in Lancashire and this is what I discovered: 
A search on Wikipedia, GENUKI, A Vision of Britain through Time and Google Earth yielded no information as to where Dryford was in Lancashire. Googling Dryford had the same results, but googling Charles Cowper brought up
The Cowper Family in Australia (<no-wiki>www.cowper200.com.au/charles_cowper.html</no-wiki>) describing Charles Cowper as follows:
:"Sir Charles Cowper, Pastoralist and NSW Premier 
:"Charles Cowper was the third son of William and Hannah Cowper, née Horner, born on 26 April 1807 at Drypool, Yorkshire. England, where his father was commencing studies for Ordination into the Church of England, after having recently been discharged from the North Yorkshire Militia. The acceptance of the position of Assistant Colonial Chaplain by William resulted in the sailing of the family (three sons; Henry, Thomas, Charles and a daughter, Mary Stephena and William’s second wife, Ann) aboard the brig ‘Indispensible’. The family left Portsmouth, England on 02 March 1809 arriving in Sydney on 18 August 1809." 
Drypool is the harbour area of Kingston-upon-Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

correct -- the city of Danzig appears to have refused to join the kingdom of Poland in 1575, and successfully withstood a siege in 1577, thus remaining a free imperial city at the time of Clüver's birth. --dab (𒁳) 19:13, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

An Muimhneach Machnamhach 16:09, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  River?? 

message: I've removed this sentence:
: The word is sometimes found in tautological placenames where its meaning was opaque to a new linguistic community, an example perhaps being Glendale (literally "valley valley") which is a combination of Norse "dale" and Gaelic "glen".
because when you click on Glendale you get this discordant explanation:
: The Gaelic name, Gleann Daill, is derived from gleann, meaning "valley", which usually refers to a harsher environment that can be steep and/or rocky,[2] and dail meaning "field, dale, meadow, plain or river-meadow", which usually refers to fertile, arable land beside water. The Ordnance Survey (2005) suggest that dail may also mean "level field by a river".[3] This makes the English translation read: "valley of river-meadows" or "valley of level fields by a river".

replies: text: When I was in school at Glenalmond College in the 50s, I understood glen, logie and strath to be fairly well defined geographical/topological terms for successive stages of a highland river. The glen is a narrow valley high up towards the river source. Purists insisted that the college was not in the glen but in the logie, since the Almond valley is quite broad there. WP doesn't have an entry for 'logie' and I haven't so far been able to find a good definition online. Of course, outside Scotland, 'glen' can be expected to have a broader usage. --D Anthony Patriarche, BSc (talk) 21:40, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Henri Cernuschi

message: * A "Enrico Cernuschi" query on the Italian Wikipedia did not yield any direct results (only the presence on the list of the members of an Italian Constitutional Assembly). Cernuschi gained most of his historical importance as a Frenchman. I therefore changed "Henri Cernuschi (1821 in Milan - 1896-05-12 in Menton) was an Italian politician and economist." to "Henri Cernuschi (Enrico Cernuschi in Italian) (1821-02-19 in Milan - 1896-05-1*1* in Menton), was a major French banker, economist and Asian art collector, who started off as an Italian politician in 1848-1850."
* Henri Cernuschi wrote his books in French, as a French citizen, and while working in France. I thus changed  to  and Category:Italian economists to Category:French economists.

message: The text of the article states that after his appointment as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster   in 1914 "Masterman lost his own seat in February and then in May stood in a by-election at Ipswich, losing yet again. He resigned from the government as a result". This would imply he resigned in May 1914, yet the information and succession boxes suggest he held office until February 1915, as does the article List of chancellors of the Duchy of Lancaster. Thus it does not seem totally accurate to say he resigned from the government as a direct result of losing a by-election in May 1914 if he still held office almost 8 months after this. Assuming the 1915 date is not an error, I wonder if  adding eventually to the text would help? Dunarc (talk) 22:51, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
