Talk:Nemo me impune lacessit

message: I always understood the correct translation of lacessit to be harm, injure or wound rather than the apparently more popular provoke or attack, but it's a long time since I used Latin "in anger" so I don't propose to alter the article, unless I get encouragement here.
A freer, more colloquial ("literary"?) translation that I personally prefer is "Touch me at your peril".

Is this entire page a joke?  What is all this nonsense about "milking"?  I suspect vandalism.

thread_title: A question of translation

message: hei.
what in the name of the most gracious God-Emperor of Man has the "Recognition of femininity as a major social influence in Scottish culture" got to do with the much argued translation of the word? If it warrants mention then it warrants a seperate article surely, as it moving more into its own story than elaborating on the actual meaning (use) of the motto

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Scotbadge tn.png

message: The French city of Nancy has a similar motto, Non inultus premor ("I cannot be touched with impunity")
This translation is extremely loose. A more literal translation would be "(There is) no unpunished pressing-upon (me)", with the words in parentheses being implied by the construction. --76.217.89.50 (talk) 07:20, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The article states that the motto appears "on coins to this day", but the following cites do not seem to support this.  Is it bogus? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 11:42, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

message: The Lexicon Tetraglotton (1660) refers to this motto in relation to the Knights of the Thistle.
How do we account for this ?
Eyeze (talk) 03:00, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Good find. As you say, it "predates the 1687 establishment of the present Knights of the Thistle." But according to the WP article Order of the Thistle, a predecessor to the present order was established no later than the reign of James III, 1460 to 1488. So it seems logical that the motto was used by that prior order, though our article doens't have that much detail. Felsic2 (talk) 22:54, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

text: An old book may not be a good source for facts but it's a good source for what it contains. With attribution, the hurdles are lowered. So we could probably say something in the Order of the Thistle article like, "The Lexicon Tetraglotton, published 1660, has an entry for 'Knights of the Thistle in the House of Bourbon'." How does that look? Felsic2 (talk) 01:06, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

text: I don't think we should try to interpret the text ourselves. If you're an historian, then write up your findings and once they're published we can refer to them. FWIW, Cavalieri del cardone appears to be Old Italian. It's an interesting issue to investigate, but any fresh conclusions that you or I would make would violate Wikipedia's prohibition on original research, WP:NOR. This isn't the place to create new understandings, unfortunately. BUt again, simply stating that there is an entry for the order would not be original research. Felsic2 (talk) 15:56, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: In case it's not clear, the Lexicon Tetraglotton is simply a four language dictionary. It's not four different orders.  The entry just gives the name of the order in English, French, Italian, and Spanish. In the same way, this article in Italian is about the order as well: Ordine del Cardo. What's interesting isn't the name in Italian, it's the connection to the House of Bourbon. Felsic2 (talk) 01:17, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

text: It's a tricky issue, but it looks like you've stayed within the boundaries. Thanks for writing that. I made a few minor edits. Felsic2 (talk) 18:44, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
