thread_title:  Categories 

message: There is some evidence that the king was homosexual or perhaps bi sexual. Maori sources are very quiet on this aspect of his character.It was during his London adventure that these tendencies came to the fore.There is plenty of evidence that the King was very simple but how much this was due to lack of intelligence and how much due to just ignorance is hard to say. His reaction to sudden surprises was quite child like. Likewise he seems to have been very gullible. The best continuous  record of these traits is from the London newspapers of that time. This was the only time when he was closely observed at close range by literate observers . It should be noted that not all "native" leaders were seem in this light in England, as African native "Kings" were lauded for their behaviour and perception during this period. The king still behaved in a very simple way in the 1880s-not dissimilar to many rural Maori struggling to understand  European New Zealand. In this late period the king nearly came to blows with the government after he removed some navigation lights -mistaking them for some political symbol. At the same time Maori in the north were  upset because dogs were being taxed. Their reaction was -"What next -men being taxed?"115.188.178.77 (talk) 03:53, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

message: In the 2002 article "The Palaeoptera Problem: Basal Pterygote Phylogeny Inferred from 18S and 28S rDNA Sequences" by Rasmus Hovmöller, Thomas Pape & Mari Källersjö (Abstract), molecular and morphological data indicates extant Palaeoptera to be a monophyletic grouping. Thus, this article's claim about the Odonata/Ephemeroptera/Neoptera relationship being unresolved is false.

Talk:Te Mamaku

message: In 1846 Maori in both Whanganui and Northland had developed an irrational rear of British troops. It was outside their frame of reference to acknowledge that a group of men could be full time "warriors" as this was totally alien to Maori practice where warriors were very much part time (normally). 1846 was the first year that significant numbers of British troops arrived in NZ. Reports from the north had indicated that the British soldier was both well equipped and incredibly brave-continuing to fight hard even while taking serious losses.They also feared the intense discipline and unity of the soldiers which was very differrnt to Maori society where each war group followed it own whim in battle.There was strong practical basis for this fear as it meant that Btritish soldiers could keep on fighting vitually endlessly because of their supply train. Also the soldiers weapons were vastly superior with the latest muzzle loaders with bayonets and fine grain gunpowder. Maori had yet to learn that there were ways of incorporating their own traditional fighting skills into a set of tactics and strategies that the British and later NZ forces would find frustrating.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.58.185.98 (talk) 22:23, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

There is a big difference between the additions  and . The Romania addition gives pertinent information about the birth place of Aman. Someone reading about the birth place may not be familiar with the city and may not know enough about the history of the region to know where or what Wallachia is.

The addition "(then Ottoman Vassal)" does not give any additional information about where he was born, just additional information about Wallachia, which is not the subject of this article. --T*U (talk) 17:20, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

message: This assertion had been -tagged for quite some time, but then the tag was removed in this edit, which added the following source:

However, the page in question just consists of a 1993 quote from Zhang in which he praises Mao Zedong, and contains no discussion of atheism. The preceding page doesn't support the assertion either --- it merely mentions his ethnic group and then goes on to give the author's views on his politics. Previously the same  tag had been removed with the rationale "all Chinese were raised as atheists in this period" --- again, not strong enough for a BLP. cab (talk) 07:43, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Theodore Hook is accredited with the original pun which is the basis of a common conundrum. He bragged that he could make a pun on any subject, and immediately a friend suggested that he make one on the King. "The King is no subject," was the prompt rejoinder.
The account is also related in Bon-mots of Samuel Foote and Theodore Hook edited by Walter Jerrold, 1894. Hopefully the continuing OCR digitisation of texts will reveal more.Lmstearn (talk) 15:12, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Theophilus Lindsey

message: Under "Life," we are told that "from 1754 to 1756 he travelled on the continent of Europe as tutor to the young Duke of Northumberland."  However, this doesn't say which Duke it's referring to, and the link is to the general page about the Dukedom -- the peerage, not the particular peer.  I think it ought to link to the specific Duke in question, or at least mention which one it was. (I mean, it's not like when somebody is created a peer they lose the right to go by their own name! :) )  Problem is, I couldn't find *any* of the numerous persons who've held that title over the centuries who fit the description and time period; i.e., who was Duke of Northumberland in 1754-6 and was supposedly "young" at that time.  Indeed, as far as I can tell there *was* no Duke of Northumberland, young or otherwise, during the years mentioned.  The closest possible candidate I could find was Hugh Percy, 1st Duke of Northumberland, but he wasn't actually created Duke (according to the Wikipedia page) until 1766.  So, we have a bit of an inconsistency here.  Can anybody solve this riddle?  Am I missing something?
:Is it possible that it was the 1st Duke's son (also named Hugh), who was tutored by Lindsey?  The age fits (he would have been a teenager at the time), but he didn't become Duke until 1786.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.111.234.195 (talk) 02:27, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
