thread_title:  Woah 

message: The section "In the United Kingdom and Ireland" begins with the sentence: "The bearded reedling has a long history in the United Kingdom, with the earliest written record being from 1662.[29]"
 
Reference [29] is to the BTO page on the Bearded tit. Under "Population Size" the BTO list the First Record year as 1662 and cite: Browne (in Southwell, T. 1902. Notes and letters on the natural history of Norfolk.) This is an error. Thomas Browne (1605-1682) does not mention this species and the editor Thomas Southwell in a footnote on pages 25-26 writes "it is singular that he omits all mention of another bird, and that an essentially Norfolk species which would have been new to the Pinax - the Bearded Titmouse, afterwards known to Edwards as the Least Butcher Bird."
 
In the same footnote Southwell mentions an entry in John Ray's "A Collection of English Words Not Generally Used" (1674) that may describe the bearded reedling. See here. Ray explains that he had received a picture from Browne of Norwich of "A little Bird of a tawney colour on the back, and a blew head, yellow bill, black legs, shot in the Osiar yard, called by Sr. Tho for distinction sake silerella."  Ray doesn't mention the black "beard". Neither Albin in 1731 nor Edwards in 1747 mention Ray's account.  - Aa77zz (talk) 12:58, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

message: Thank you for your update on my talk page. I appreciate the collegiality. I'd like to discuss your reversion, since right now, the lead says that Saddle Brook is in both Great Neck and North Hempstead.

Talk:Peter Dyneley

message: From article: providing the '5,4,3,2,1 - Thunderbirds are Go!' of the opening sequence.[citation needed] 
Citation needed indeed. To me it sounds like it is Ray Barrett, voice of father Jeff Tracy, saying that opener. Asa01 01:14, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Is it necessary to say that he provided the countdown, “without credit”? It’s done in his Jeff Tracy voice, so surely the implication is that it’s Jeff doing it. Were the countdown to have been done in a different accent or style, it might be possible to see it as a separate rôle, but as it stands I wouldn’t have thought it note-worthy. It might be that he doesn’t get credited when the opening is used elsewhere - on theme-tune records, etc. - which might be notable, but in context of the show its not like it is a lyric he’s singing.

message: I am positively delighted to see a new piece of information, sadly however regarding Mr. Dyneley's death being from cancer. I also see that it says it was provided by "son Richard."
I am a person who has spent a great deal of time searching for information on Mr. Dyneley, as he is honored on a website I helped create which is also referenced on his Wikipedia page. Right now the website is going through a massive overhaul, and the tribute to "Thunderbirds" voice actors pages are not yet converted to the new format.
I was hoping to be able to utilize this new information but wish to obtain permission from "Richard" who posted it. My friends and I dearly adored your father and the tribute to him that we built was amazing...but will be even moreso once the pages are re-launched. I would very much like to include this new information to round out the scant information I was able to find through my own investigations.
Sir, if you would be so kind as to contact me, you may do so via tbwriter03@rescueteam.com. It would be a very great honor.

Talk:Junia Calvina

message: Looking over this article and the other materials referring to Junia Calvina, I suspect there may be two distinct women by this name in the family of the Junii Silani.
The first, identified as the sister of Lucius Junius Silanus, and wife of Lucius Vitellius, apparently is the daughter of Appius Junius Silanus and Aemilia Lepida.
However, the Junia Calvina mentioned by Suetonius as having still been alive at the end of the reign of Vespasian may be a different woman.  If she is the one shown in the inscription mentioned in this article, then her father may have been Marcus Junius Silanus, the brother of the first Junia Calvina.  Suetonius' statement that she belonged to the family of Augustus would still be accurate, since her grandmother would have been Aemilia Lepida, the great-granddaughter of Augustus.  P Aculeius (talk) 14:53, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two different Juniae Calvinae? 

message: The articles Triaria and Junia Calvina appear to refer to the same woman.  Junia Calvina seems to be the more historically-based article, while the Triaria seems to discuss traditions or anecdotes relating to her.  Since neither article is particularly long, they could reasonably be discussed together under the title Junia Calvina, which seems to be the name by which she is best known.
Looking at Triaria it appears to be properly documented, but I have some concern about the very long name, Junia Calvina Milonia Caecena Alba Terentia assigned her in that article.  It looks more like something that would appear in late Imperial times.  I also note that Milonia Caesonia is the name of Caligula's fourth wife.  It looks as if Junia's name has been combined with those of some other people.  Someone probably should check the source cited for this name, or see if it's found in other sources.P Aculeius (talk) 02:25, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
