Talk:Charles de Saint-Étienne de la Tour

message: After writing the Nicolas Denys bio, I came to realize just how much 'discussion' there can be between the roles of La Tour, d'Aulnay and all them in what really happened in the New World.  Websites are very suspect of content.  Primary sources are also suspect, depending on the writers' points of view.  I hope I fleshed out a little more about the rivalries. LTC David J. Cormier (talk) 22:40, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Waningus

message: Comment: I think the business about him being a Benedictine abbot is dubious. Since he founded a convent of nuns, which only latter became a Benedictine abbey, this can be someone jumping to conclusions. I know one of the web pages says this, but I think something like "reportedly", to qualify, would be safer. Charles Matthews (talk) 11:17, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Wandregisel

message: The tone of this article is unsatisfactory. A good example is to be found in the last two sentences (my objections in bold): 
:"His Frenchized (??) name Saint Wandrille became a synonym for his Fontenelle Abbey (like all of this article, this fact needs to be referenced, and even better, explained.). This abbey has been destroyed several times, both by fire and civil wars, but the ruins still can be seen and there is still a petit (this leads me to believe the article is poorly translated from French) village Saint-Wandrille-Rançon."
I figure I'll work on this article to bring it up to speed. Alekjds talk 22:52, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Donnell II O'Donovan 

message: There is nothing special or noteworthy about the claims to marrying people who are themselves related to royalty.  This is not something that sets apart this family in any way and it is pointless self-glorification to present a family like this as 'royal' because one member of ot might have married a family that itself has a remote connection to a royal family.  Without a neutral source specifically referring to this family in this manner, this is not something that should appear in this article, let alone be something Wikipedia 'deserves', a non sequitur. Agricolae (talk) 13:21, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Royal family? 

message: Regarding the origin of the name, Ó Donnabháin literally means 'grandson of Donnubán' (or, more generally, descendant of Donnubán).  All of the O'- Irish patronymics work this way.  In turn, the founder bore the given name of Donnubán, meaning black/brown noble.  It is from the man that the family derives its name, and only indirectly from whatever that man parents decided to name him, just as the name FitzGerald came from son of Gerald and not 'son of Spear Rule', and MacDonald came from son of Donald rather than son of World Rule, and Alberson derives from son of Albert and not 'son of Bright Noble', and Ramírez from son of Ramiro, not 'son of Famous Advice' - translating the constituent parts of patronymics doesn't get you anywhere meaningful, and actually conveys less information about the family than retaining the patronymic meaning. Agricolae (talk) 23:49, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  origin of name 

message: If one is going to indicate the status of the family today, one really shouldn't be using a source from the 1830s.  Not only has the political context of Ireland changed dramatically in the intervening almost 200 years, but the forms and style used by historical and antiquarian scholars to refer to families has changed.

Talk:Donovan (name)

message: I just heard Donovan the musician describe how his father came upon choosing the name Donovan for his son, and how the guy from the register told him that was a last name and he couldn't use that, but was eventually convinced. If you look at the list of people with Donovan as a given name, all but one were born after the success of Donovan the singer. So it looks like the name was really popularized by him.

Talk:Brewer (John Updike)

message: It seems to me that one of the potentially notable things about Brewer is that it is a setting which was described changing, in keeping with real-world changes, over a very long period of time. This is something that might make it notable/interesting to people who are not necessarily interested in the individual books: it's rare to have such a long history of "updates" for a setting like this. In general, the article would be improved with a section on "reception" or "literary significance" to indicate its relevance outside the world of the novels; are there articles/books on Updike's career as a whole which mention the development of Brewer over time? Or perhaps it's been mentioned in broader works about literary depictions of America over time? ~ oulfis 🌸(talk) 21:08, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: While this article was kept in the AFD, I could see it potentially being merged into a future article about the Rabbit novel series itself. Even topics that technically satisfy notabbility criteria notable topics can be fully discussed within other articles if warranted by editorial discretion and composition.

Talk:Austin-Healey 100

message: I always thought a AH 100-6 had a 2.6 litre C series as per the Austin Westminster of the time, not 3 litre. Surely the upgrade to 3 litre is what caused the name change to AH 3000?

thread_title:  100-6 Engine 

message: I am considering splitting out the 100-6 into a new article.  It seems that it's really more similar to the 3000... Mojoworker (talk) 19:44, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The more I think of it the more the split makes sense. There were three models of The Big Healey: the 100, the 100-6 and the 3000. There's no justification for lumping the first two together and not the third, but it's going to be difficult to come up with a good name for an overview article, so why complicate things? Let's just have three articles. Unless someone either objects or does it first, in time I will. Andrewa (talk) 06:11, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. Some cleaning up still to do, but the named references are sorted out I think (that's what took the most time) and the articles both now in better overall shape than before. Andrewa (talk) 13:29, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Split out 100-6? 

message: Lead read The Austin-Healey 100 is a sports car built between 1953 and 1956 by the British Motor Corporation (the following model, named the 100-Six and built from 1956 to 1959, is a different car even though it shares the name "100").  Messy, misleading and POV. It's a bit problematic, as the 100-6 has more in common with the 3000 than with the original 100, but the fact is that the 100-6 was and still is called a 100-6, not a 3000, and the content of this article includes the 100-6.
Perhaps the answer is to have three articles, as proposed above, or one. But meantime, the lead needs to match the title and content. Andrewa (talk) 13:52, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Richard I of England/Archive 1

message: I don't see how a list of Richard's supposed qualities is a legacy.  His successor and the photo of the statue are applicable.  How else did Richard's reign continue to influence England after its end?  Also what's with the "duality of man" approach to his qualities anyway?  By whose standard to we rate admirable and bad qualities?  "Unwilling to give way to public opinion" is probably an admirable quality in a monarch.  Humility might be a bad trait, and confidence is often mistaken for arrogance.  Loving your family is swell, but behaving ruthlessly to your enemies can be an admirable quality, the teachings of Jesus notwithstanding.
:There is no doubt that Richard had many admirable qualities, as well as many bad ones. He was a military mastermind, and politically astute in many ways; yet incredibly foolish in others, and unwilling to give way to public opinion. He was capable of great humility as well as great arrogance. He loved his family, but behaved ruthlessly to his enemies. He was revered by his most worthy rival, Saladin, and respected by the Emperor Henry, but hated by many who had been his friends, especially King Philip. He was often careless of his own safety: the wound which killed him need not have been inflicted at all if he had been properly armoured. Almost the same thing had happened, ten years earlier when, while feuding with his father, he had encountered William Marshal while unarmed and had to beg for his life.
:As Richard produced no heirs, he was succeeded by his brother John as king of England. However, his French territories initially rejected John as a successor, preferring his nephew Arthur of Brittany, the son of their late brother Geoffrey, whose claim was technically better than John's.
I hope someone can write a workable legacy.  I don't know anything suitable.  I just know the current section is weak.  --131.137.245.197 16:14, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

: I concur. The TIF funding proposal is lining up to be pretty controversial in Bristol, as the councils seem to be lining up to get funding to run buses down the most popular bike path in the country. The idea of central governments funding explicit transport projects goes hand in hand with the current 'big projects don't need planning inquiries' idea coming out from central government -they go hand in hand.
