Talk:William Samuel Henson

message: Some sources declare Chard or Leicester as the birthplace of William Samuel Henson. Can someone give a valuable advice on how to desentangle this problem? Also, how can it be demonstrated that the sources citing 1805 as the year of his birh are all incorrect? Is it a POV or there is a current consensus among aeronautics historians that 1812 is his true birthyear? Эйхер (talk) 10:48, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Talk:William Sanford Pennington

message: Was he really a member of the New Jersey Senate? The National Governors Association biography (see external link in :sv:William Sanford Pennington) states that he was a member of the New Jersey State Council in 1801 and 1802. Isn't the governor's council something else than state senate? The virtualology biography also seems to confirm that he was a member of the state assembly but has no mention of him having been a member of the state senate. Which source can confirm if he was a member of the NJ Senate? 128.214.205.4 08:03, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: New Jersey Senate

message: Most of the article text appears to be lifted from this, so at  minimum, proper attribution is needed. Listing as an external link is not sufficient.
That link contains a copyright notice, so there may be a copyright issue.
However, the page lists two sources:
* Dictionary of American Biography.
* Pennington Family File, The New Jersey Historical Society.
If the text came from those two sources and both are PD, it may be OK to use the text, although proper attribution is still needed.
The first source is not enough to uniquely identify the actual source, but it appears to be:
* 
That doesn't seem to be the source of the words.
I don't know how to access the Pennington Family File.
Absent a citation for the text from a PD source, I think we should conclude that the text came from the Jersey History site. I looked for, but did not find any indications that the material can be used without permission.--SPhilbrickT 22:33, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Talk:William Sewell (author)

message: 1.  R. B. Seymour Sewell is the nephew of William Sewell (author). Link below is R.B.'s Wiki page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._B._Seymour_Sewell
The Wikipage text establishes his kinship:
"Sewell was born in 1880 in Leamington, Warwickshire. His father was the reverend Arthur Sewell, and his mother was Mary Lee (née Waring).[4] His grandfather was Robert Burleigh Sewell (1810–1872), who had a number of notable siblings, including Richard Clarke Sewell (1803–1864), William Sewell (1804–1874), Henry Sewell (1807–1879), James Edwards Sewell (1810–1903), and Elizabeth Missing Sewell (1815–1906).[5]"
2. Also, Elizabeth Sewell, the poet and writer, is William Sewell's (author) great-granddaughter - R.B. Sewell's second daughter... Her Wiki page establishes her relation to her father:
Elizabeth Sewell (writer)
"Furthermore, Elizabeth Sewell (the later) is considered to have written the classic work in Nonsense Literature: The Field of Nonsense  as well as have written the equally classic work, The Orphic Voice. Below is but one reference bestowing the classic credential on the former work:

Talk:William Sharp Macleay

message: The image (removed) which previously accompanied this article is actually a carte de visite photograph of W.S. Macleay's younger cousin Sir William John Macleay. William John also had a keen interest in the natural sciences, which was encouraged by his cousin William Sharp. It was William J who inherited - and expanded - the Macleay collections, eventually donating them to Sydney University in 1888 with an accompanying endowment and for which he was knighted. For comparison see portrait busts of WJ Macleay and WS Macleay in Carlin, S. Elizabeth Bay House: A History and Guide (Sydney, Historic Houses Trust. 2000). An original of the carte de visite is held in the collection of Elizabeth Bay House. Scott E Hill (talk) 08:42, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:William Terry (congressman)

message: I came across this article checking a source (which probably confused him with William R. Terry a native of Liberty/Bedford who also became a Confederate general), and cleaned up the infobox as well as added info about his slaveholdings. Appleton's Cyclopedia says that he was a Conservative, and I put that as most likely for his first term, although I've exceeded the day's covid restrictions in the local history room. He could have changed to Democrat, or been defeated by fellow Confederates Hunton and Pridemore in the primary elections. Although local histories are mentioned in this article's bibliography, to minimize confusion between the two men, as well as better explain this Terry's identification as a slaveholder, I suggest naming his parents. Also, I presumed he received a pardon, but couldn't find such quickly on ancestry.com. I know the voting disabilities originally in the Virginia Constitution of 1868 were removed by voters, but thought another set had been promulgated by the U.S. House for its members, which would have made seating him problematic in the absence of a presidential pardon. While some Confederates refused pardons, I'm not aware offhand of any that were then actually seated in Congress.Jweaver28 (talk) 21:44, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
