Talk:Arvīds Pelše

message: Near the end of the article, it mentions that, "[n]owadays, Pelše ir [sic] regarded by many Latvians as a sort of a traitor for his dare to speak Russian and to live in Russia(a crime in Latvia)."  Leaving aside the fact that the "ir" part has been in there for over two years without being edited, is it really a crime in Latvia to have spoken Russian and lived in Russia?  I would assume that it's not a legal offense, so in that case, how should it be put?
The original version as added on 10 January 2010 was "Nowadays, Pelše ir [sic] regarded by many Latvians as a sort of a traitor for his efforts in condemning Latvian folk culture during his reign."  I believe the "crime" aspect comes from his rejection of his own culture in favor of Russian (or Soviet) culture, so perhaps a better way to put it would be, "Today, Pelše is viewed by many Latvians as a traitor because of his pro-Russian policies and rejection of Latvian language and culture."
Of course, the section isn't cited at all, so it should probably get axed regardless unless somebody can find a citation for it, or it turns out Wikipedia policy says "public opinion" does not require citations.  ChristopherGregory (talk) 14:22, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Brazzein

message: I made  as the statement from UW-Madison in the reference  only includes two short quotations without context and somewhat confusing. I'm not sure but I don't believe they deny the gene they isolated originated from a plant grown in the Gabon . From what I can tell, their view is that they simply isolated a gene from a plant, the whole process they have invented is their own. And since the gene was not patented nor are there any protections against this sort of thing, they have done nothing wrong and owe nothing to the Gabon where they plant came from. While this is obviously controversial and many people (including me) find it somewhat disgusting, it's important to recognise that they are not, from what I can tell, denying where the gene came from, simply suggesting that it is irrelevant (which it is based on current laws) Nil Einne (talk) 12:44, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Aubrey de Vere, 2nd Earl of Oxford

message: Aubrey was almost certainly the first child born to Aubrey III de Vere, first earl of Oxford, and his third wife Agnes, but there was a significant age difference between that couple and it is not clear whether their marriage was consumated before Agnes's father Henry of Essex was disgraced by being convicted of treason in early 1163.  In that year she was only 12.  Sometime before May 1166 the earl tried to divorce his young wife, now a political liability.  Would he have done so if she had given birth to a son already?  He might have, following the example of his brother-in-law Hugh Bigod, earl of Norfolk, who had divorced Aubrey's sister Juliana despite the fact that she had given birth to a son.  The divorce decision was delayed by Agnes's appeal to the pope, who eventually decided in favor of Agnes and the validity of her marriage to the earl of Oxford.  That decision was made in or before 1172.  If Agnes had not given birth to her son Aubrey before 1166, she did so soon after 1172.  Other evidence suggests that Aubrey IV was either the same age as King John (b. 1166) or perhaps just slightly older, not six years younger.DeAragon 03:52, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Seriously, why is there a "(Standard Bikol)" after Coastal BiKol Naga? This is Naga-centric. English language has many dialects in Britain, but still none of them are considered "Standard". There is also American English, but it is considered as good as the English from Britain.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.92.130.2 (talk) 16:48, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bikol Naga as "Standard" 

message: Can anyone cross-check whether Lobel et al. (2000) really employ the term "Bisakol" for the three Visayan lects spoken in the Bikol area, and whether they really treat them as part of the Bikol languages? Unfortunately, I don't have access to the book. But I have serious doubts about it, since Lobel never states anything that comes close to it in other publications available to me, e.g. in his contribution to the Concise Encyclopedia of Languages of the World. In the tree based on McFarland (1974), "Bisakol" was also falsely inserted as a branch of the Bikol languages, even though McFarland definitely treats them as Visayan languages in his dissertation. I suspect that the same distortion was done to the material from Lobel et al. (2000). –Austronesier (talk) 09:14, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Lady Barbara FitzRoy

message: The article in its current state asserts without attribution the claim that Charles II, who accepted that he was the father of Barbara FitzRoy, was in error.  Surely better citations are needed for this; her true biological paternity is no more knowable than that of the child of any trollop appearing on the Maury Povich show.  
But the uncertainty of her biological father's identity doesn't alter the identity of her legal parent, the king, and that legal parentage is what shaped her life. I don't believe it's appropriate to remove her ancestry on that basis; it certainly isn't appropriate to remove her maternal ancestors on the basis of uncertainty about her paternal ancestors. - Nunh-huh 03:28, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Surely her legal father was her mother's husband Roger Palmer, 1st Earl of Castlemaine? Opera hat (talk) 09:49, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps "legal" is the wrong word (but perhaps not; I think being the king's acknowledged bastard rather precludes having another father; I suspect it would depend on whether Palmer disavowed her). In any case, being believed to have been the king's bastard daughter is what dictated the course of her life, not the possibility of being the daughter of the Earl of Castlemaine or the Duke of Marlborough.  She figures in the ancestry of many who are called descendants of King Charles, so if her parentage were ever to be accurately determined (which at this point would only be via DNA), it might be an interesting re-write of history. - Nunh-huh 15:44, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
