message: Did you know that Jeb Stuart was Cooke's son-in-law? I learned that from Smithsonian's Great Battles of the Civil War series. 68.228.149.192 (talk) 04:06, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  J. E. B. Stuart 

message: Double rank tactics had been the standard in the US mounted arm, which used J.R. Poinsett's tactics manual accepted by the War Dept. in 1841. It was designed to allow Dragoons to dismount and fight against Infantry (also in a double rank) on a somewhat equal footing, while also providing shock value to the charge. Previous Napoleonic era tactics had all employed 2 or even 3 ranks. When fighting against Indians in the American West, this system was not ideal. Cooke's experiences led him to devise a new system which was better for this new type of warfare. The Civil War had more in common with previous wars than with the Indian battles, and Poinsett's Tactics continued to be used throughout the Civil War. Don't confuse the number of RANKS in each unit with the number of LINES the units are deployed in. 2603:6080:DC40:24EE:65A7:678D:19:A4 (talk) 21:28, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Seven Holy Founders of the Servite Order

message: Formal request has been received to merge the articles Amadio degli Amidei, Hugh dei Lippi Uggucioni and Alexis Falconieri into a new article Seven Holy Founders; dated: January 2019. Proposer's Rationale:  The first two pages have virtually no information (the third does contain information), but all can be incorporated together (with the remaining four) since they are collectively referred to/identified as a group rather than individually, therefore it is all on one page that is easy to read/access. Pinging proposer . Discuss here. Richard3120 (talk) 13:14, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: That makes sense. The Falconieri page does indeed contain some content, but it is copy-pasted from a non-neutral source from over a century ago, so is of very doubtful value (it was also, until just now, without attribution of the PD source). On the other hand, given the extreme scarcity of reliable sources about these people – even their names are not known with any certainty – it might make more sense to cover them in a brief section of the main article, and split it off only if it becomes large enough to justify a standalone page. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:08, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

text: I think that more sources needed to be consulted first before deciding on what to include on a potential page. In doing this, it makes the article a bit more credible, rather than basing it on mere supposition. Covering them in the main article (Servite page) would also work given the fact these individuals were founders; however, a page of their own could work based solely on what sources are attributed (and their credibility), as I have seen this in cases of martyrs (little information on the individuals, so collated in one easily traversable page rather than small individual pages).

Talk:Odoric of Pordenone

message: This article is awfully light on citations. For example, no sources are footnoted in the section arguing why we should view Odoric's journey as a diplomatic mission.
The article also presumes a definite chronology to Odoric that does not exist. The only date we can be sure of is his death. The 1296 date of his missionary departure seems completely fabricated.
Article should be revised with consideration of critical scholarship like A.C. Moule's 1920 article "A Life of Odoric"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.237.163.60 (talk) 19:53, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Citations?

message: This says he was born around 1286 and went as a missionary in 1296, which would make him only 10 years old. That cannot be right.
The source for the 1296 date says he was born in 1265, which makes more sense. Maybe 1286 is just a typo?
Gobanian (talk) 10:33, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually it says he was accepted into the Order in 1296, and his journey started in "1316-1318". Older sources differ on his date of birth, with "c. 1286" being commonest. However in its current state the article body has 1280 due to forensic research but the 1286 Births Category. For now I'll change the category but the uncertainty should be noted.

Talk:Anastasia the Patrician

message: This article previously included without critique the claims made in the referenced hagiography that:
# Anastasia arrived at Scetis after the death of Theodora in 548;
# She dwelt in seclusion for twenty-eight years; and
# She died in 567.
This obviously creates a contradictory timeline. Anastasia's article in the Coptic Encyclopedia, included under the external links, gave her date of death as 576, which corrects this contradiction. It seems clear to me that the referenced hagiography simply transposed the two numbers, and I have thus corrected this error on the main page, referencing the linked Coptic Encyclopedia article. 76.10.184.83 (talk) 00:21, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Talk:António Vieira

message: The Jesuits of the English speaking world are known as the Society of Jesus.  They sign their names with the famous "SJ" after their names.  Ergo I changed "Company of Jesus" in the text to be "Society of Jesus"---David.Rebelo (talk) 19:56, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minor Change 

message: This section was written erroneously or edited too much:
He had believed in the prophecies of a 16th-century shoemaker poet, Bandarra, dealing with the coming of a ruler who would inaugurate an epoch of unparalleled prosperity for the church and for Portugal, and in the Quinto Imperio or Clams Prophetarum he had endeavoured to prove the truth of his dreams from passages of Scripture.
Clavis Prophetarum was a major work by Antonio Vieira who actually believed in a populist eschatology about the coming of a new age ruled by the former king of Portugal, Dom Sebastian.  This popular belief is a major theme in Mario Vargas Llosa's novel set in Brazil, War of the End of the World.  This populist belief is a heresy known as Sebastianism.  I made a correction the text to clarify this.----David.Rebelo (talk) 20:15, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clavis Prophetarum -- a Confusing portion of text 

message: I have removed the paragraph refering to the film 'The Mission'. Vieira was in no way involved in the Jesuit Paraguay reductions, and cannot have been a sort of 'inspiration' for the film. What is true however - but it is true of a majority of Jesuits living in the Spanish and Portuguese colonies of South-America at that time - is that he often spoke in favour of and sided with the indigenous people against the colonial autorities.

Talk:Arialdo

message: I tagged this not because I want to defend corruption in the medieval church, but because the way we present the story is very one-sided. We refer, for instance, to ‘immoral clergy’. It seems to me that in an encyclopedia it’s better for the authors to step back a little and adopt a more serious historical/anthropological stance. There were social practices: they were both practised and opposed. The story is as much about social history as about sanctity: struggles in the church at this time were frequently as much to with secular politics as anything else. Arialdo was sainted, instantly, by a friend. (You could call that corrupt!) —Ian Spackman 22:26, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

message: This concerns POV tag cleanup.  Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it.  This permits discussion and consensus among editors.  From WP tag policy: Drive-by tagging is strongly discouraged. The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies, namely Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Simply being of the opinion that a page is not neutral is not sufficient to justify the addition of the tag. Tags should be added as a last resort.  Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements.  This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags.

message: According to tour guides at Groot_Begijnhof_(Leuven), Begga did not start the Beguine movement, and was only chosen as the patron saint in the 1600s. Prior to that time, the patron saint was a St. Catherine (though there are two, and I am not sure which he meant.) There are numerous books on the history of the Groot Begijnhof, and I intend to clean up several of these articles with references from those books, unless someone beats me to it. Another claim to the origin of the name Beguine is that it etymologically derives from a word for the color of the traditional beige habits they wore.
Each of the houses in the Groot Begijnhof in Leuven are named either for saints or for events in the Bible; there is a house named for Begga that bears a statue of her on its corner.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by NoDepositNoReturn (talk • contribs) 15:58, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
