Talk:Notte Bianca

message: can someone help me with this page. This is rather a popular event around the world and it's quite surprising that no one ever created a page for it. 
Unfortunately i don't have much time to spare but i managed to translate a part from the italian wikipedia and added "In Malta" section since i'm maltese :)

Talk:Ragnall mac Somairle

message: Williams argued that since Ragnall styled himself 'Lord of Kintyre', he is more likely to have taken part in the Caithness episode than Rögnvaldr. I only just realised that McDonald and Woolf have stated that either Ragnall or his son Ruaidrí, had daughters who married Rögnvaldr and Óláfr. If that was the case, then maybe it shouldn't come as a surprise that troops from Kintyre accompanied Rögnvaldr to Caithness, since either way Rögnvaldr's father-in-law was 'Lord of Kintyre'. I wonder if Williams was aware of the identification of the marriages; he doesn't seem to have been aware of the re-analysis of Howden's chronicle. I haven't read Woolf's A Dead Man at Ballyshannon, which is cited by McDonald; I wonder if there is some stuff in it that could improve this article (something about the Ragnall/Ruaidrí marriage alliance with Rögnvaldr maybe?).--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 12:18, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ragnall and Rögnvaldr 

message: I'll readily admit I know virtully nothing about Gaelic naming conventions, and I can't find anything in the manual to answer this one way or the other. Thus, if this comes across as a highly incompetent question, feel free to rain abuse accordingly. That said...
I notice that the naming convention in the article differs from the article title (Ragnall/Raghnall, Somhairle/Somairle). For a newbie to the topic like myself, this is pretty confusing (and don't even get me started on where Somairle redirects...). I realise that historians have used different renderings for these names, so the inconsistency isn't surprising, but would it not make more sense if one naming convention was used throughout, either by moving the page to Ragnall mac Somairle or by changing the names in the text?
Apologies if this has already been debated at length and answered somewhere else; feel free to point me there if so. Yunshui 雲‍水 10:08, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

message: An interesting article, but may I offer some suggestions? One is that the piece says James Montgomery and Harriet Tubman "commanded" a regiment during the raid. While that's true of Montgomery, I wouldn't say Tubman was in "command" of troops. Perhaps say Montgomery commanded the regiment and was assisted/helped by Tubman? Also, you make reference to The John Adams. The name of a vessel should be italicized. Also, you need specific references to your sources, not just a citation of a work in progres.

thread_title:  Not a B-class article 

message: I reverted a change from a while ago which introduced the quote as "According to Harriet Tubman:" to the prior, more wordy "In an 1869 biography of Tubman written by Sarah H. Bradford, Harriet Tubman is quoted:".
The quote is written in a way to emphasize dialect pronunciation differences to the impediment of readability, which is not the normal style of quotes on Wikipedia, so making it clear not only that it is a quote from a book quoting a person, but which book and some of the context (the year) of the book, goes towards normalizing that.
I'd also like to open the discussion as to whether that quote should be used as such at all (as opposed to paraphrasing its content) -- the book is not a serious historical book (or a serious biography) but was written more for what would now be mass-audience pop-history, and specifically in a time and context where there is a known pattern of white women rephrasing black women's words into an imagined "dialect" pronounciation for their own literary purposes, which calls into question the accuracy of the quote as written at all.
I didn't remove the quote myself, but I'm interested to know other Wikipedian's opinions as to how Wikipedia should handle it, and also the opinions of contemporary scholarship to the quote.

Talk:Judah Messer Leon

message: I've uploaded text from the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia, and updated it using what I could find on the net.  I haven't unfortunately been able to consult either Rabinowitz or the relevant pages of Tirosh-Rothschild, which are probably the two most imporant sources.  
Things I haven't added, that probably should be fitted in:
* What he was like as a rabbi: his attempt to ban Gersonides's commentary on the Torah; his view that his statements as rabbi in Ancona should be binding on all Jews in Italy; and his self-description (also used by others) as Meor Hage'ulah (Light of the Exile)  
* Zonta noting he probably wrote much more, which may have been lost, or has never been thoroughly examined.
* Means and prestige: Connection to the da Pisa family, the most powerful Jewish banking family in Italy.
* Context: University of Padua had opened its doors to Jews in 1406.
* Students: Yohanan Alemanno was a pupil, and substantially continued with Messer Leon's curriculum in his own academy. According to Zonta Abraham Farissol may also have been a student, and was Messer Leon's scribe in Mantua; also Abraham de Balmes; and of course Messer Leon's son.
* Languages: Very extensive knowledge of philosophical texts in Hebrew and Latin, but not apparently Arabic or Greek.
* Commitment to Aristotelianism and Scholastical logic-grounded approach:  Scholastic approach rather than Judaeo-Arabic logical tradition (eg Elijah del Medigo), using it to minutely marry-up Christian commentators and Latin texts with the Jewish tradition based on Averroes.  But Aristotelian logicism rather than the new more freewheeling Humanism and Platonism of Florence (and the Kabbalah) (eg the next generation).  Though does Nofet Zufim reflect the changing intellectual landscape? 
The article could also probably use a rather better lead, and a thorough going over for style.  But this is where I'm going to leave it for the time being.  Jheald 11:33, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Lewis Ruffner

message: I significantly expanded this article in the last 2 days, but it really needs checking from someone in Kanawha county. I have tried to harmonize differences in various sources, so if the footnote appears inaccurate, such might be because another footnote nearby disagrees and seems more authoritative. In particular, the two Atkinson books differ in some important details, like his birth date and first year in the Virginia House of Delegates, in which case I selected Leonard's book as probably more accurate. Also, finding the date of his remarriage led to reattribution as to the mothers of his children. I realize much of the material about Kanawha saltmaking really should be in an article about his father, but my sandbox is already full with an article which also needs on-site checking.Jweaver28 (talk) 21:36, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Talk:List of Undeclared episodes

message: All of the episodes of this series fail the notability guidelines for television episodes. The way for these articles to be improved is through the inclusion of real-world information from reliable sources to assert notability. That is unlikely to happen, and these only have certain bad aspects (though all may not apply) like containing overly long or one sentence plot summaries, trivia, and quotes. Per that, they need to be a small part of this list. 
If there are no objections, these will be redirected soon. Otherwise, discussion will take place here. Please remember that this is not a vote. If you like the information, that's fine and dandy, but your opinion doesn't really count towards anything. The only opinions that do count are ones that that lean towards the inclusion of real world information. TTN 22:33, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fixed the order 

message: I recently merged this article to the main article, but has been recently reverted. So I thought I'd start a discussion. It's becoming more common practice regarding shows with just one season, that a List of episodes page is not created (of course there are exceptions, but those pages usually contain worthwhile information beyond just an episode list). There's seems to be not much of a point of having this as a standalone article—the lead contains nothing not already present in the main article, and this article has no references. It's somewhat pointless to have the episode list on another article, especially when the main article is not long at all, might as well have the all the Undeclared information in one spot. I'd really like to hear why someone would be against this. Thank you. Drovethrughosts (talk) 17:15, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
