Talk:Statute of Marlborough

message: I believe "Lord Ottobon" is Cardinal Ottobon; the National Archives contain a manuscript of "Publication by Cardinal Ottobon of a bull of Pope Alexander of privileges of the Cluniac order.", dating to 1266, and  mentions " the legatine constitutions of ... Ottobon in 1268". Shimgray 03:05, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I suspect, in fact, it was Pope Adrian V... "In 1264, he was sent to England to mediate between King Henry III and his barons." Being created a cardinal by Innocent IV would mesh nicely with that. Shimgray 03:27, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Fate of Little America

message: Found this footnote at Little America (exploration_base)#Little America II, thought it should be put in this talk page rather than in the article itself.
The information in this paragraph is somewhat inconsistent with other information in the article (on 2013-06-19):
This paragraph says that the Jacobs Wind plant was installed in 1933. The section on Little America I, however, says that that base was abandoned in 1930, while the section on Little America II (this section) says that that base was only established in 1934. Was the Jacobs Wind plant installed independently of any of the bases?

Talk:AmNewYork Metro

message: I 'mercilessly' chopped a lot of the following.  The part about many cities having free condensed versions of the newspaper is interesting, but isn't germane to this particular article.  It might belong somewhere else.
AM New York is a free daily newspaper that is read most often on the way to work by commuters who don't want to pay for other newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and the New York Post.
Many cities offer such free or inexpensive condensed versions of the daily paper.  New York City has a competitor publication, Metro, which is also published around the world. The Washington Post publishes Express.  And the Chicago Tribune publishes Red Eye.
This phenomenon is fairly established. Presstime featured an article about the concept in 2000.
The part about being read by daily commuters should be reincluded, possibly also the part about the reason it's free.  The newspaper was designed with NYC's commuters in mind, namely that they could read it, in its entirety on their way to work each day, which is why the boxes are to be found at the MTA's Subway and Bus stations located throughout The Five Boroughs.

thread_title: Dates

message: Boston was a town in 1776. It did not become a city until 1822. (source: Wikipedia)
Evacuation Day is celebrated exactly on March 17th and only if this falls on a weekend do various (mostly public) institutions take the following Monday off.
Eighteenth century cannon were not accurate enough to hit troops without damaging much of the town, but the threat to shell the British warships was quite real since near misses would fall harmlessly. Prior to embarkation the British troops chopped down the Liberty Tree (which ironically fell upon and killed a British soldier). While our side made much fuss over this "victory," letting an entire enemy force retreat without our guys firing a shot in anger or taking a single POW is pretty inconsequential in my book.
While you are correct that Evacuation Day is a Suffolk County holiday, Cambridge and Somerville are in Middlesex County not Suffolk County. The City of Boston, the City of Chelsea, the City of Revere, and the Town of Winthrop form Suffolk County. (source: Wikipedia)
Since the Massachusetts Legislature meets in Boston, they get to take the day off.

Talk:Kuzyk quantum gap

message: This page was voted on for deletion on Jan 16, 2005.  The consensus at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/KuzykGap was to keep (6 votes to keep, 1 to delete).
The following text was moved from KuzykLimit, to be merged into Kuzyk gap:
:The fundamental limit of the nonlinear susceptibility, a measure of how strongly light interacts with light, is called the Kuzyk Limit.  This limit is calculated from quantum mechanics directly using generalized Thomas-Reich-Kuhn sum rules, which are sometimes called The Kuzyk Sum Rules.  The gap between the Kuzyk Limit and the best materials ever measured (as of 2004) is called the [Kuzyk Quantum Gap].

message: I removed the following, because it didn't seem to relate to anything else (or at least not in any way that I can see).

Talk:Corwin Amendment

message: I find this very uncomfortable, and embarrassing, but it seems this Amendment is still (technically) being considered by the states. Is it appropriate to speak of it in a purely past tense? It seems as late as the 1960s, a politican in Texas was promoting it.
The 27th Amendment was initially proposed in 1789, but not ratified until 1992, so a lack of current interest doesn't mean it's dead ... just sleeping. I've submitted some changes that clarify the amendment is still open for consideration. The changes have been rolled, back - not sure why.
I'm not usually a contributor to Wikipedia, so if gone about things the wrong way, I apologize. Wouldn't it be more accurate to describe the ratification process in the present tense?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:646:400:5B40:5938:E171:3E53:4AC (talk) 07:03, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
