Talk:List of kings of Munster

message: Byrne, Irish Kings, pp. 278–279, does not list any Ó Ruaidh or Uí Ruaidh kings of Munster. After Ólchobar mac Flainn, Byrne lists further Eóganacht (note, that page name is wrong) kings until Mathgamain mac Cennétig, brother of Brian Bóruma. Any experts care to comment ? Given the choice, I thing I prefer to rely on Byrne. Article tagged accordingly. Angus McLellan 23:10, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Ó Ruaidh ?

message: Apologies for moving too fast in removing this, should have made the connection to Brian son of Murchad. But was really Brian ever reconnised as a "King of Munster". The AI only mention him by patronym (no title given) - Tadg MacCarthy seemed to have had the upper hand during his one year "reign". The source referenced says :"But on Diarmaid's death in 1118, Muirchertach's protegé Brian mac Murchadh O'Brien, assumed the kingship and Diarmaid's sons took refuge with the Mac Carthys in Cork.  By now Tadhg was in effective control of south Munster, and when Brian O'Brien attempted to re-assert Dál Cais authority over the region in mid-1118, he was met at Glanmire by the men of Desmond and defeated in battle, Brian himself fell by the hand of Turlough mac Diarmaid O'Brian" - it is not clear (to me at least) that the kingship he assumed was that of Munster (I'd rather say Dal gCais/Thomond).

replies: text: Add, Jefferies seem to be depending on Mac Carthaigh's Book which reads "[Brian] took the kingship of Sliocht Eóghain Mhóir ..." - if Sliocht Eóghain Mhóir means Munster I stand corrected. Finn Rindahl (talk) 13:26, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The late Texas songwriter Cindy Walker has left an unusual and generous gift to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum: Her catalog of about 500 songs, many of them pop and country classics.
The hall announced Wednesday that Walker bequeathed her share of the songs, including future royalties, after her death in 2006. The songs have since earned the institution more than $500,000 in royalties.

message: Flim-Flam says that he was shot in the midsection and was recuperating after a long hospital stay.  Randi's Encyclopedia says that the rifle shot missed him.  I don't know which is right, but perhaps "missed" means "missed killing him".  On the other hand, the encyclopedia is more recent. In Flim-Flam Randi says that he interviewed him.

message: In two places, the article claims that the Soviet army "desecrated" his grave, or that the Soviets "damaged" his grave.  In neither place, there is a reference.
Provided that this is true - which I do not find unlikely - it certainly should be possible to find a source for this fact, and, equally important, to give a few more details; at least, approximately when the grave was damaged.  Did it happen already under the civil war at the revolution, or during the Second world war, or after the war (when Soviet rule over Estland was well established)?   Was it e. g. a directed demolition of a grave monument, and/or of the grave itself; or e. g. a collateral damage due to general bombing of the area? JoergenB (talk) 20:33, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Perhaos it shouldn’t be notable for that reason, but so much of what we read is European history. The reference given (Dawson Creek, past and present; an historical sketch. by Coutts, M. E.) isn’t readily available. There is nothing online except library catalogue entries. The 65-year-old book itself can only be obtained at a steep price.

Talk:Animalia

message: I have no problem redirecting Animalia to Animal ... as long as the search problem is solved.
Consider this situation:
* A user wants to find the book Animalia on wikipedia.
* The user types in "Animalia" and presses "Search".  Dozens (hundreds) of pages appear, and none of them are the book.
If there are only two entries in Wikipedia that start with the word "Animalia", shouldnt they both appear at the top of the search results?   
Why is Animalia (book) not returned by search?
The top search result is Animalia ... and under that is some fine print that says "for the book see Anamaila Book".  But how does the user get to that book?   Clicking on the "Book" fine print does not take the user anywhere.
If someone can suggest a way to get the Book entry up near the top of the search-results page, Id be happy to leave the Animalia entry as a redirect to Animal.
:I agree that the search function should return Animalia (book) near the top.  It's a computer, and computer functions can't reason.
  
:But as I mentioned below, the policy on this matter is unambiguous.  Because, in Wikipedia and elsewhere, the primary meaning of "animalia" is the kingdom of life, the article Animalia should be for the kingdom of life.  Dablinks were created for just this situation: most people are interested in the kingdom of life, but a user interested in the book will search for "animalia", will be directed to "animal", will see the link to Animalia (book), will click on it, and will be directed to the page for the book.  Since dablinks are prominantly placed at the top of the page, indented and italicized, I don't really understand your objection.  bcasterlinetalk 17:04, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The page naming conventions at Wikipedia:Disambiguation are pretty clear: "When the primary meaning for a term or phrase is well known (indicated by a majority of links in existing articles, and by consensus of the editors of those articles), then use that topic for the title of the main article, with a disambiguation link at the top."  In this case, Animalia links in existing articles are exclusively for the animal kingdom. I'm reverting back to the redirect: people searching for Animalia will come across the kingdom of life with a link at the top for the book.  bcasterlinetalk 23:12, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Prozorovsky

message: The statement that the Prozorovsky line is extinct is dubious:

Galitzine's line became extinct in 1914, with the death of his only son, Prince Alexander Galitzine-Prozorovsky (1853-1914)."
