Talk:The Death of Achilles

message: Factual mistake in the original article. Mother Pelageya mentioned in this novel cannot be Sister Pelagiya. The Sister Pelagiya stories take place in the late 1890s or early 1900s (there are numerous clues pointing to this timeframe) and Pelagiya is 32 years old.
In 1882, therefore, she would be about 14 and would not even be a nun, forget a head nun. Besides Mother Pelageya's character obviously does not fit Sister Pelagiya's. To say nothing of the name difference.
Sister Pelagiya's fictional universe is clearly separate from Fandorin's. For instance, general Skobelev is referred by his real name in the Pelagiya books, but in Fandorin books he is Sobolev. The opposite is true for the Head of the Holy Synod, ober-procurator Pobedonostsev.--Tighina 15:16, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Nicolas (wine retailer)

message: I created the article Nicolas (wine retailer) not realising that Nicolas (wine stores) already existed (there was no link from Nicolas). I think Nicolas (wine stores) should be merged into Nicolas (wine retailer), my rationale being as follows:
*Under Wikipedia convention, article titles are singular - "wine retailer" is singular whereas "wine stores" is plural - hence Nicolas (wine retailer) would be my preferred title
*"Stores" is primarily US English, retailer is non-specific, and the article should cover Nicolas' entire operation, not just the physical stores - so again, Nicolas (wine retailer) would be my preferred title
*The Nicolas (wine retailer) article includes more encyclopedic details (history, and international reach), albeit briefly, so it make sense to use this as the foundation article. However, the image at Nicolas (wine stores) needs to be included in the final article for sure.
Please add your thoughts and proposals! Mr WR

Talk:Teresa Wright

message: I can't decide whether this should be changed to "Actress" or not. On the one hand, the subject uses "actress" in quotations, "actress" is a common gendered term, and I find "actor" jarring here after so many instances of "actress," so per MOS:GNL, it would seem that it should be changed. On the other hand, it isn't obvious that "actress" is the correct word. The source uses "actor", so maybe it meant that Hitchcock thought Wright was sharper than most of the men, as well as most of the women. I doubt this because the Guardian Style Guide  says to use "actor" here, and the source sentence goes on to restrict it to females ("...her vivacity and warmth, not epithets generally associated with Hitch's heroines"), although this is not necessarily the same point. That is, the author could mean "Wright was smarter, etc. than most male & female actors Hitchcock used, and this was not common among other female actors he used, although it may have been common among male actors" (hold Bell Curve jokes, please). Any opinions?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dingsuntil (talk • contribs) 18:36, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Template talk:Pern stories

message: Beside other changes (add Sky Dragons, tweak three group names) I have expanded the scope and revised the look of the template by inserting a top list of four links with this display:
: Pern — Stories in Pern history — Characters — Locations
# The targets are one article, two so-called lists, and one category with the latter three renamed (piped). "Characters" is Characters in Dragonriders of Pern which has been the last group comprising one item (Characters : Characters in Dragonriders of Pern). The navbox has not provided the other three links under any name.
# Miscellaneous related articles/lists are commonly included in navigation boxes regardless whether the box nominally comprises "works", "books", "novels", etc. Sometimes this is done in a group named "miscellaneous" or "related" --usually at the bottom which is unwise at least when the nominal scope is works; one or a few "surprise" inclusions should be prominent. 
# I have not seen categories provided as navbox targets. To me it seems obvious that categories such as :Category: Dragonriders of Pern locations should be included and that there is no need to label them categories. The navbox should visible provide adequate overview of current wikipedia coverage.
# Pern is in the locations category but it merits separate listing here, for the same reason given.
# I have used dash because  is deprecated, without knowing whether dash is deprecated.
# I have used parameter above= rather than list1= (renumber all current groups and lists and omit group1) for its intermediate rather than light background shade.
P.S. I think Pern belongs directly in :Category: Dragonriders of Pern rather than merely as the main article for the locations category. --P64 (talk) 21:58, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Career
When news of the fortune to be made in California spread across the nation, Crocker's Forty-niner party arrived in 1850. Two years in the mines convinced him that mining was no way to make a fortune, and so he opened a store in Sacramento. By 1854 he was one of the wealthiest men in town and had a strong business relationship with Mark Hopkins, Collis Huntington and Leland Stanford — who together with Crocker came to be known as "The Big Four" for their prominence in California's stunningly rapid economic development.
Political positions and further business opportunities accompanied Crocker's initial economic gains. In 1855 he was elected to Sacramento's city council, and in 1860 to California's state legislature.[1] In the early 1860s, the Big Four began to plan and manage the construction of the Central Pacific railroad, which was to cross the rugged Sierra Nevada mountains and meet with the Union Pacific headed west from Nebraska.
Running a railroad
Crocker managed the actual construction of the railroad. He overcame shortages of manpower and money by hiring Chinese immigrants to do much of the back-breaking and dangerous labor.
He drove the workers to the point of exhaustion, in the process setting records for laying track and finishing the project seven years ahead of the government's deadline
With this success, Crocker's business activities reached a new level. He became president of the Central Pacific railroad, helped connect San Francisco to Portland by rail, became involved in banking and northern California industry, and made even more money as a real estate speculator. He was an early proponent of the massive irrigation projects which eventually transformed California into a fruit and vegetable growing center.
Early Life
After hearing of the California Gold Rush, Crocker led a party of Forty-niners overland to the Pacific coast, and arrived in 1850.

Talk:Congregation of Our Lady of Sion

message: In fact, the congregation comprised both "religieux" and "religieuses". Both communities were founded by the Ratisbonne brothers, the order of women in 1848, and the fathers in 1855. The link to the male chapter, known as the Fathers (or Priests) of Notre-Dame de Sion, is http://sion-paris.org. The Father Superior during the war was P.Devaux and was posthumously awarded the medal of Righteous among the Nations, for his role in sheltering 500 jewish children in the order's headquarters and elsewhere in Paris during WWII. In the late 40s and 50s, the Father Superior was a Hungarian Jew named Paul Démann who had converted to catholicism prior to the second world war. Together with Jules Isaacs and others, he edited and contributed to the "Cahiers Sioniens", which were a powerful moral and intellectual motor in bringing about a reconciliation between the Catholic Church and the Jews. Some on the more conservative side of catholicism have categorised the Fathers of Sion - whose original mission was to convert Jews - as a sort of Jewish trojan horse which was able to influence catholic doctrinal thinking, leading to the declarations of Vatican II in 1965.

text: The CP uses the term "Congregation of Notre-Dame de Sion" to refer to the order of woman, but says that they are "directed spiritually by the Priests of Notre-Dame de Sion, a congregation of secular priests, which includes lay brothers. At St. Peter's in Jerusalem, there are six priests, nine lay brothers, and some scholastics. The German settlement of Tabgha, on the Lake of Genesareth, is in charge of a priest of Notre-Dame de Sion, assisted by a Lazarist. There is a foundation of Priests of Notre-Dame de Sion at Constantinople." It seems to be really a question of terminology. Paul B 14:32, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
