Talk:Jonathan P. Jackson

message: I noted the deletion of most references to Jackson as an "activist," and am prone to agree that the term is an inaccurate descriptor of his actions. However, I feel that the term "kidnapper" alone doesn't encapsulate the politically motivated nature of the Marin County incident, even if it is correct.
I'm not big on "revolutionary" as a term either. Would adding the descriptor "radical" perhaps be appropriate? Or perhaps eventually having a section describing the impact of Marin County as seen by the Black Panthers and modern-day fringe activists (Detailing the idea of it as the "August 7th Rebellion" and all that jazz).

Talk:Lexical gap

message: For example the Russian word 'dno' in the meaning of bottom (of a river) does not have the plural form.
This is wrong. The word 'dno' ("дно") does have the plural form which is "донья". Unfortunately many Russians do not know it. As an example of missed inflections in Russian I'd suggest defective verbs like "победить" (to win), "убедить" (to convince) lacking the first-person singular form in the present(-future) tense (various constructions like "I'll try to convince you" are used instead). Some verbs are never used in this form because it coincides with another verb: e.g. "дерзить" (to be impudent) has the same first-person singular form as that of "держать" (to hold). Another example would be famous combinations like 22 days/scissors ("22 сутки/ножницы") which cannot be said in Russian.

thread_title:  Source for edit 

message: After more research, I've reverted my earlier edit stating that Schuyler was the granddaughter of Alexander Hamilton. I'd made that edit because Hamilton married Philip Schuyler's daughter, which made it "obvious" that she was Hamilton's granddaughter, not great-granddaughter. But! I appear to have underestimated the inbreeding of the early American aristocracy. It looks like Louisa's mother married her cousin once-removed. In other words, her father was Philip Schuyler's grandson, while her mother was Schuyler's great-grandson by way of Hamilton. As a chart, as best as I can tell:
Philip Schuyler, Sr. -> Philip Schuyler, Jr. -> George Lee Schuyler (Louisa's father) cite
Philip Schuyler, Sr. -> Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton (married Alexander Hamilton, d. 1854) -> James Alexander Hamilton -> Elizabeth (Louisa's monther) cite
So George Lee Schuyler married his cousin, once-removed; the mystery is resolved because she is simultaneously Philip Schuyler Sr.'s great-granddaughter and great-great-grandaughter.
I'm noting it here because I can't find a good source that puts this all together in one place - I pieced it together from a bunch of lousy cites. If someone can find a single source that explains this well, it'd be worth adding. —Luis (talk) 04:38, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
