thread_title: Nice work

message: There is a recent hour-long lecture on Richard Hakluyt available online, by Dr Anthony Payne:  http://www.gresham.ac.uk/event.asp?PageId=45&EventId=825  Because of the depth, research and quality of the lecture, I'm sure it would be an appropriate link. (I only don't put it up myself as there is a possible conflict-of-interest as I am connected with Gresham College, where the lecture was given).  Jamesfranklingresham (talk) 10:57, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I had a quick look at the text of the lecture. It is certainly relevant; in fact, rather than simply being listed as an external link, it contains information that deserves to be incorporated into the main body of the article. I'm a little busy at the moment, so do help if you would like to. — Cheers, JackLee –talk–</span> 13:04, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Nice work. Just one small thing: he's described as a "writer", which sort of jars with my ear - I'd expect the word to be "author". But this is a very small thing. 203.129.61.66 (talk) 00:46, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

message: Is "Cluyd" an Anglicized spelling of Clwyd? Pronunciation is identical. Then, is Radnorshire in the source? Could this be re-edited as a direct quote? Its footnote link is garbled.--Wetman (talk) 14:39, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Additionally I note that this is the only instance of the spelling "Cluyd" in the whole of Wikipedia, and searching on Google only seems to turn up mirrors of this page. (I suspect that this Cluyd Forest is distinct from the region of Clwyd, named after the river Clwyd—it's a not uncommon Celtic river name, look at the Clyde in Scotland—and being as it's attributed to a 16th-century source its name has probably changed, if it still exists at all.) I think a direct quote, if it can be found, is the best way forward. 86.21.250.191 (talk) 17:45, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Here is an archived link to the source, which I have inserted into the article. It refers to Leland, which I suspect is John Leland's The Itinerary of John Leland. A number of versions of this are available at Archive.org, but I haven't been able to track down the exact quotation yet. Please help if you wish to. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 10:26, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

text: OK, I found the reference and inserted it into the article. Leland spells it Cluid. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 10:04, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

message: I'm reviewing this older featured article as part of WP:URFA/2020, an effort to restore older featured articles to the modern FA standards. I find it a bit concerning that chunks of this article are pulled directly from the 1911 Britannica (not a copyright concern as the source is in the public domain, but copying from PD works would mostly likely register opposes at FAC today). Statements like "here does not appear to be any monument to Hakluyt either in Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, or elsewhere in the grounds of Christ Church, Oxford." raise original research concerns, and using personal communication as sourcing would not pass a FAC source review in 2023. Since this article was promoted in 2007, the FA sourcing standards have greatly tightened; there is now an expectation that the sourcing used be ; that does not seem to be the case here.
Modern academic sources that likely warrant consultation:
* "WAS RICHARD HAKLUYT A NEGATIVE INFLUENCE IN THE COLONIZATION OF VIRGINIA?", North Carolina Historical Review, 1971
* "Piety, Patriotism, and Empire: Lessons for England, Spain, and the New World in the Works of Richard Hakluyt." Renaissance Quarterly, 2009
* "RICHARD HAKLUYT AND THE EARL OF ESSEX: THE CENSORSHIP OF THE VOYAGE TO CADIZ IN THE PRINCIPAL NAVIGATIONS." Publishing History, 2012
* "Captaining Men's Souls: Richard Hakluyt's Ministerial Works", Journal of the Society for Renaissance Studies, 2023
* "Richard Hakluyt and Travel Writing in Early Modern Europe." English Historical Review, 2015
* "The Explorer or the Pilgrim? Modern Critical Opinion and the Editorial Methods of Richard Hakluyt and Samuel Purchas" Studies in Philology, 1997
And many such others. Hakluyt looks to have been very heavily studied in the last 40 years. Hog Farm  Talk 22:40, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
