Talk:João da Nova

message: I partially reversed a revision of 80.31.7.195 which substituted the term "Spanish" for where "Galician" was before.  In his revision note, the editor noted that "Galician is not a nationality".  As he does not have a user page, let me try to explain my motives for reversing the edit here.
* Spain did not exist in 1460, the year of João da Nova's birth.  Indeed it did not exist through much of his life. The earliest it can be said to exist is 1479, with the recognition of Isabella's ascension to the throne of Castile - although even that is being generous, as the kingdoms of Castile & Aragon remained formally distinct, and the term 'Spain' only came into usage later in the 16th C.   Through much of Nova's life, certainly through his youth (before he moved to Portugal), the country now known as Spain was then divided between the completely independent kingdoms of Castile-Leon, Aragon, Navarre and Granada.  It is customary, when denoting nationalities of this time to refer to "Castilian", "Aragonese", etc.  
* It is true that the Kingdom of Galicia did not exist as an independent entity anymore.  It was a subject kingdom of the Crown of Castile.  Thus, in the narrowly legal sense, João da Nova was 'Castilian'.  However, 'Castilian' as a nationality also implies the person originates from the central territories of Castile-Leon proper - which, of course, Nova didn't. e.g. article on Castile (historical region). 
* While the Kingdom of Galicia was not independent, it continued to vestigally exist as a legal entity, e.g. in the titles of the monarchs and legally distinct institutions (although many of those were erased after 1486, and brought more tightly under central control).  So one can certainly argue (albeit at a stretch) that technically, João da Nova was a subject of the Kingdom of Galicia - the King of Galicia happened to be also the King of Castile-Leon. 
* Even if 'Galician' did not exist as a legal nationality, it was doubtlessly a strong identity and historical nationality (much like, say, Scottish or Welsh).  Wiki has an entry on Galician people.  I don't believe it does great violence to the article to refer to Juan da Nova as 'Galician'.
In sum, he was certainly not "Spanish".  Legally, he was 'Castilian'.  But as Castilian invokes origins in the lands of Castile-Leon, it would be more useful to refer to him as 'Galician'.  
If it is acceptable to refer to folks like, say, Adam Smith or David Hume, as 'Scottish', then it is certainly acceptable to refer to Juan da Nova as 'Galician'. Nonetheless, for the sake of clarity, I have decided to retain the term 'Spain' appended to referenses to Galicia.  I believe that is a reasonable compromise. -- Walrasiad (talk) 08:33, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

:No my friend, it is not. Gallaecia comprise Galicia and northern Portugal. However, there is some incorrection in the article, since it leads one to think that the Limici only lived in northern Portugal - they lived, as the Portuguese and Galician wikipedias state, both in northern Portugal and Galicia.

message: Mackendrick said "I began to realise that the most Scottish character in Whisky Galore! is Waggett the Englishman. He is the only Calvinist, puritan figure – and all the other characters aren't Scots at all: they're Irish!"  If as director he spent time on Barra where it was filmed then he should have known better, since this island, Eriskay where the actual sinking of the SS Politician took place, and the fictional island of Little Todday where the sinking took place in the novel, are all Roman Catholic islands, not Calvinist, although admittedly this issue was glossed over in the film.  Did nobody point this out to him? (Even on Protestand Hebridean islands, there may be high levels of drinking and not much respect for some aspects of the law e.g. in relation to poaching.)

Talk:St George's and Priorslee

message: The comment concerning the proximity of St George’s church to Priorslee and being the reason for the name is nothing more than ill-founded speculation and opinion.
Priorslee is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as being part of Shifnal (then known as Iteshale, later Idsall) this pre-dates the building of both St George's and St Peter's, Priorslee's own Anglican church, by many centuries.
Priorslee is said in many published works to have been in the possession of the canons of Wombridge Priory, hence it's name. This priory, now demolished, was about two miles northwest.

thread_title:  Merger 

message: The Betty MacDonald related pages, including this one, have been plagued by the persistent addition by various single-purpose accounts of material describing "interviews" conducted of MacDonald's sister by a purported journalist by the name of Wolfgang Hampel.  The material is not properly included in this or in any of the articles for several reasons.  First, it doesn't actually add anything - just that the sister told "entertaining stories".  Second, it's tangential to the subject matter of any of these articles.  Third, Wolfgang Hampel - whoever he is - does not appear to be a reliable source.  Finally, it is hard to escape the conclusion that the material is being included simply to hawk the CD/DVD on which these purported interviews were included.  (This entry has frequently been accompanied by links to commercial fansites.)  Being trivial, tangential, unreliably sourced and for apparent commercial purposes, these edits are inappropriate and editors may expect that other editors or I will be removing them on sight - and any editor who attempts to force their inclusion risks being blocked.

Talk:Muhammad at Medina

message: Montgomery Watt was a very prominent Islamic scholar of the late 20th century, and the author of numerous books on Islam. His two volume study of the life of the Prophet Muhammad remains for now, arguably, the best currently available. (The first volume is Muhammad at Mecca). Accordingly it joins a number of such noteworthy modern biographies by western academics during the last few centuries. Prof. Watt's work is thorough and very rigorous in the use of primary sources and scholarly material, being up to date also in presenting the context of the chosen perspectives. If the book's importance alone qualified it to be included in Wikipedia, I would say: do not delete. 
The article as it now stands mainly contains the table of contents. Yet here it is quite informative and detailed, indicating Prof. Watt's approach, the issues he considers most important, how he structures the issues in the prophet's life, an articulation of the key events, etc. Although it remains only a stub, by my understanding of Wikipedia criteria for articles, nonetheless it should be retained as is (of course, subject to any further additions). 
To play devil's avocate, however, it is possible that the table of contents of this book can be viewed elsewhere on the net, e.g., at "google books" (I have not investigated the various possibilities). If that be true, then this article's current value as a stub would be somewhat compromised. On the other hand, text appearing one day on google books" may disappear the next.

message: This isn't the only place at Wikipedia that has problems with the way Roman numerals are written. But I am learning more and more how to use this site and have come across the issue again.

Prohaska."
The way the Roman numeral in Volume LIIX is written is wrong. It actually makes no sense. If it is 52+10=62 it should be LXII. If it is 51+9=60 it should be LX. Understand? It makes no sense. The way it's written is what's called "undefined" and Roman Numerals are "Well-Defined." Look up that term Well-Defined here in Wikipedia. The writing of Roman Numerals at Wikipedia is horrendous.
