thread_title: Local News Coverage

message: This article has caused some edit warring in the past about where it actually is. Willey (2006) p. 84 provides the following (summarised):
*Associated with Romford for postal purposes only
*Strongest connection to Ilford
*Started as a settlement in Dagenham parish, called Blackheath until around 1600
*Grew to absorb Chadwell Street hamlet in Barking ancient parish (now Redbridge)
*Redbridge area more owner occupation and B&D section more council tenants (I guess this reflects the different housing policies of Ilford/Dagenham)
Hopefully that will clears things up. MRSC (talk) 11:38, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Tiberius Sempronius Longus (consul 194 BC)

message: Livy 34.42, as cited in the article, states that this Tiberius Sempronius Longus's father was consul in the first year of the 2nd Punic War.  Livy 21.15 states that the consuls of that year, 218 BCE, were P. Cornelius and Ti. Sempronius (quo P. Cornelius Ti. Sempronius consules fuerunt).  According to Wikipedia Roman Naming Conventions, P. = Publius and Ti. = Tiberius, while T. = Titus. Furthermore, Polybius 3.41] calls the consul of 218 Τεβέριος (Tiberius).  On the basis of these, the original sources, is it not correct to change the name of the father to Tiberius Sempronius Longus. Amphipolis 15:26, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: His father was Titus Sempronius Longus, regardless of what Wikipedia's naming conventions may be. The sources in that article support that. Kafziel 15:28, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The sources cited in the other article (Plb. 3.41; Livy 21.15, 23.37) give the name as either Τεβέριος (Tiberius) or Ti.   According to Wikipedia Roman Naming Conventions, Ti. = Tiberius.  Names from Roman coins confirm this. This coin from the reign of emperor Tiberius has TICAESAR for Tiberius Caesar (see bottom of scanned page), whereas this coin from the reign of emperor Titus has TCAESIMP for Titus Caesar Imperator (see middle of scanned page).  We shall seee what the administrators think as a move has been requested.  Once that is decided, then this too is decided.  But I want to ask, why "regardless of what Wikipedia's naming conventions"?  I cited it not as Wikipedia's rules, but the article about how Roman's abbreviated names.  There is confusion in the names sometimes, especially between M' (Manius) and M. (Marcus).  But one would expect that they got the names on the imperial coins correct.  Tacitus and Suetonius both call the second emperor Tiberius.  It makes sense then that on coins they would use abbreviations to save space.  So coins from Tiberius's reign with "Ti." on them seem to support the idea that Ti=Tiberius.  So, why do you disregard that convention?--Amphipolis 16:19, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I stand corrected. See my vote on the other page's requested move section. Kafziel 16:22, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Hanno the Elder

message: I've replaced an apparently wrong Livy citation with an online (Everyman's library) citation. Other Livy citations in the article can't readily be checked because information about the relevant publication is missing. There are now numerous online versions of Livy, so the WP standard should be to use one of those, which can be checked by anyone, rather than an obscure library book which hasn't been digitised. Because I know enough Latin, I personally prefer a text with Latin and English on facing pages, like this one, but I can see that most readers would be happier with a reliable English-only version.

Talk:Dan Sullivan (EastEnders)

message: Actually, Dan Sullivan has been heard of since he left Walford. A year or so after he left a nervous man appeared in the Square, and informed Billy Mitchell than Dan Sullivan was back in the UK and was vowing revenge on Phil Mitchell. Phil dismissed these concerns when Billy informed him, and indeed nothing materialised from this. I would suggest it was part of a prelude to bring back Dan Sullivan which subsequently fell through.
The Dan Sullivan stuff was nonsense. It was all part of Kate's plot to stake Phil out on suspicion of murdering Lisa in Portugal. That bald cop she worked with posed as an associate of Dan's who served Billy with the information. Conquistador2k6 08:46
Might I point out that the flowers with the note saying 'Gotcha' sent to Steve Owen's funeral were not actually sent by Dan Sullivan but Matthew Rose, who was implicated by Steve in his murder of Saskia Duncan.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.159.61.116 (talk) 11:52, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ron Chernow

message: I reverted to the stub before the article became a copyvio of Chernow's speaker-bureau CV  ; it is a possibly useful source, although the actual facts not in the article are limited.  
I would appreciate it if any rewrite did not praise Chernow's writing beyond its merits. I quote from page 10 of Alexander Hamilton:
::Had he [Johann Lavien] presented himself as a Jew, the snobbish Mary Faucette would certainly have squelched the match in a world that frowned on religious no less than interracial marriage.
This is illiteracy and conjecture: 
*It is news to me that the early eighteenth century frowned on religious marriage. A competent writer would have recast. 
*The evidence given for Mrs. Faucette's character consists the fact she appealed to the chancellor of the Leeward Islands for her separation decree. Who else, pray? Septentrionalis 15:59, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The article needs revision. When naming Guatemala City, it should be noted that the city was founded in 1776, year that the city/capital was transfered due to Antigua's destruction.

He died in the mid 1600s making it impossible for him to have lived or died or even known the current site of Guatemala City, as it was an empty valley in those days called the Valle de la Ermita o de las vacas (Valley of the Chapel or of the cows).Frapoz (talk) 16:00, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

(Indeed, it appears that the actual majority do, outside of a certain sector of news publishers, but Wikipedia is not written in news style as a matter of policy, anyway.)

Talk:Church-sect typology

message: It seems as though our discussion of established churches is a bit muddled.  The Catholic Church is described as having become a denomination, at least in the United States (and as becoming one in Latin America).  But, at the same time, we seem to be describing established protestant churches like the Church of England or the Church of Denmark, as being "ecclesias", which is to say, a kind of weaker subcategory of "Church".  But if the Church of England is an "ecclesia," surely the Catholic Church must hold at least that status in Catholic countries like those in Latin America, or Italy, Spain, Portugal, Poland, etc.  Or are we only saying that the Church of England used to be an Ecclesia, say, in the 19th century, but that it too is now really a denomination?

It was replaced by quoting more from the segment. The problem is the laughter was in response to another participant who was there to review the papers, whereas the quoting here makes it look like she's just giggling in her own gleefulness all by herself. I don't think adding even more quoting will help. It is merely 20s of TV and a blink within a long career.

Talk:Dudley Farm Historic State Park

message: I used to edit a lot on WP, but haven't done so for years. Most of my contributions were either insect or war-related, especially for WW II. Since I retired from my university job, I was an entomologist, I've been volunteering at Dudley Farm for over six years doing various things, but primarily living history. Right now I do two days of living history every week and interact with the rangers all the time.
I plan to start adding information to this page on the three generations of the Dudleys who lived on the homestead. I have the link to the WP Cheatsheet and will be using that to help me remember how to make the edits, especially the reference section and the links to the sources, which is primarily Dudley Farm : A History of Florida Farm Life by Ben Pickard and Sally Morrison, the latter being one of the first rangers assigned to the homestead even before it was officially taken under state control to become a park. Ms. Morrison was assigned to work with Myrtle Dudley, the youngest member of the third generation who still lived on the farm, and had lived there for 94 years before she died in 1996. I also have the published diary of Terry Stidham, who was one of the first rangers assigned to the park during the three-year restoration period before it opened to the public. 
I mention all of this as I'll be proceeding very carefully until I once again have a good understanding of the editing techniques. So please bear with me as I move along slowly. If it looks like someone just added something and then abandoned their effort, it might be because I'm trying to figure how to do whatever it is I started. Thanks. Thomas R.
