Talk:Alexander Wood (physician)

message: This page desperately needs sources. 
The last para may be true, but on its face it looks like some kind of urban legend, ie, isn't it ironic that the inventor of the hypodermic syringe should have, in effect, killed his own wife by creating the device in the first place. 
As for priority, it really doesn't matter if an Irish patent exists; Wood and Pravaz actually made and used the devices, and Wood even published a paper on how to use the syringe. Keep in mind too, that in the mid-nineteenth century, Eire was administratively part of Great Britain, which means that an Irish patent office may not in fact have existed, making that claim too, a mere urban legend. I'd say this page should be deleted until it can be thoroughly fact-checked and re-written.

replies: text: References have been added. According to the sources I cited, Rynd didn't publish his method until after Wood, and besides, it's not particularly relevant to this article. It really belongs in hypodermic needle but that article doesn't have a "History" section. howcheng  {chat} 22:47, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

message: "His nom de plume was Audiart.[1]" Graham-Leigh, Elaine. The Southern French Nobility and the Albigensian Crusade. Woodbridge: The Boydell Press, 2005, 28.
Graham- Leigh misuses the word pseudonym but even so from the context it is quite obvious that Audiart is a senhal for Raymond VI Count of Toulouse.  This is confirmed in Topsfield, L. T. edit.

What does this mean? I can't confirm it because I lack the access to  An Annotated Index of Medieval Women But it seems very strange since when being a part of a ducal house made one a princess?

message: "But Edward decided that he would marry Blanche at any cost..."  The article is about Margaret of France.  Who is Blanche?
4.249.63.153 (talk) 16:58, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's all in the article. Blanche = Blanche of France, Duchess of Austria, the elder sister of Margaret. Edward originally wanted to marry her, but he was deceived by her brother, Philip IV of France, when he arranged a marriage for Blanche with an Austrian duke. Edward was then offered the hand of Blanche's younger sister as an appeasement but took offense at that because she was still a child. He then declared war on France. Ironically, as part of the peace settlement ending the war he still married Maragaret...  -- fdewaele, 20 April 2011, 19:25 CET
-- This appears to be incorrect.  The Anglo-French War that started in 1293 began because of a dispute over Gascony, not because of marriage negotiations.  In fact, the marriage negotiations appear to have been a sham, to lull the English into "temporarily" turning over control of most of Gascony as part of a package deal that would include the marriage.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.170.187.20 (talk) 06:03, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Blanche who? 

message: We have noticed a few things: nowhere in the Commons image description or the source website does it say "tomb effigy". The image appears to be from Lincoln Cathedral.

There is a (partial) source for the destruction:  so we propose to re-add this source, reduce the sentence to something neutral, and remove "Tomb effigy" from the caption of the photo.

I've also removed the stub template, because it's clearly beyond that stage, although there must be more information out there. Though a typical middle-ranking bureaucrat of his age, Robert turned out to be more interesting than expected.

Talk:7th Queen's Own Hussars

message: I have been working on the regimental colonels section of this article. It is my understanding that Charles Hagart was Colonel of the 7th Q.O Hussars during the Indian mutiny 1857-58, however upon examination it appears that in this article he appears much later, the reader is told that he was in command of the Q.O 1873–1879; Hagart died in ‘79 at the age of 65, (understandably?) my thoughts are that this information is wrong. Therefore it would seem like this section of the article needs a swap around.
