Talk:Gaston Paris

message: "His Vie de Saint-Alexis (1872) broke new ground and provided a model for future editors of medieval texts." How, exactly? "It included the original text and the variations of it dating from the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries" is problematic as well, as there is no 'original' Vie de Saint Alexis. I've not read his 1872 edition (he did about 7 editions of it; I've read his 1884 edition), perhaps reading that might give me a clue. Renard Migrant (talk) 17:57, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Gabriel Monod

message: I have to make an addition. In 1985 i had to write a paper on Gabriel Monod. One important thing is lacking here: Gabriel Monod was the expert to prove that the "bordereau"(the presumed hand written letter by Dreyfus that sent him to Devil's Island) was undoubtedly a falsification. Monod was asked for this task because he was the best expert on medieval hand written manuscripts. It took a lot of courage for Monod to go against public opinion. On the basis of his verdict, Dreyfus was the first and for a long time the only man to leave Devil's island alive. The second was Papillon. Another funny addition may be that on his wedding his friend Nietzsche composed a "Monodie à deux," a piano piece for two, still available in music libraries. Dr.hist.

Talk:Jean Jules Jusserand

message: Under the heading "Career", much of the language is confusing, due, I suspect, to the use of translation software. To wit: "His literary work enabled him to reach a higher status as Paul Cambon's partner, the Minister of France in Tunisia, in 1882. During this time Jusserand was in charge of the administrative organisation of the protectorate. He became known as a respected diplomat, thanks to his contributions to the great humanization of the protectorate. Jusserand came back to the Quai d’Orsay In 1887, in a delicate moment, where he worked in the political sector. In 1898 he exercized in the role of emissary near Saint-Siège, then Minister of France in Copenhagen." (emphases added to highlight problematic language) Can anyone clean this up?

Talk:Morris Chapel

message: A lot of this article appears to be less than about a building than the faith of those who worship there. If the language isn't quotes relating to the building (or, particularly, the window) then they will have to go... Sorry, but Wikipedia cannot allow POV comments - no matter how heartfelt. Also, the Bible was originally written in Greek, and the apostles probably spoke a Palestinian/Nazarene dialect.LessHeard vanU 22:05, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Talk:Jules Michelet

message: Stylistically this entry shows the genial tendentiousness of the British Empire apologists when dealing with those who disagree with goals imperial and/or British. A generalization, I know, but attention must be drawn. I think this whole entry is from the Enc. Brit. 11th Edit., and someone has seen fit to take the most egregious dismissal of Michelet and set that out as the E.B.'s opinion:
Four years later, in 1831, the Introduction à l'histoire universelle showed a very different style, exhibiting the idiosyncrasy and literary power of the writer to greater advantage, but also displaying, in the words of the Encyclopedia Britannica, Eleventh Edition, "the peculiar visionary qualities which made Michelet the most stimulating, but the most untrustworthy (not in facts, which he never consciously falsifies, but in suggestion) of all historians."
Having little access to Michelet, really only at one root of my old Russian studies, I can't refute the summation, but I can question whether it should continue to stand alone.

Talk:Fulcher of Chartres

message: Firstly let me declare an interest; obviously my surname is Fulker.
Now to business. Is this Fulcher the same as the Fulker of Chartres from Dei gesta per Francos or The Deeds of God Through the Franks written in the early twelth century? If we argee that it is then can we include the alternative spelling in the main article?
Thank you. AndrewJFulker (talk) 11:58, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No, there was another crusader with the same name. He was a knight who went to Jerusalem with the main body of crusaders. Fulcher the chronicler was a cleric who went with Baldwin of Boulogne to Edessa, and was not present at the Siege of Jerusalem. Of course, both could be spelled various ways...I have seen Fulcher, Fulker, Foucher, Fulk, and Fulcherius, and I suppose there are other spellings. Adam Bishop (talk) 12:39, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you, that answers my question. I guess the spelling of names was alot more casual in times gone by and I didn't realise that there were more Fulchers / Fulkers etc than I thought. If we included my alternate spelling we would have to include all the versions and this would be impractical. Probabaly best to leave it as simple as it is. Thank you for your help.AndrewJFulker (talk) 16:43, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You're welcome! I guess we should probably note in this article that he is not the same person as the knight. I wonder if there is enough info to write an article on the knight, too. Oh, and we also have articles on the names Fulcher and Fulk that list different spellings, and the various people with that name (or surname). Adam Bishop (talk) 08:00, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Fulcher or Fulker?

message: There may be an internal contradiction within the article, regarding to the death of Fulcher.

Talk:Louis-Sébastien Le Nain de Tillemont

message: "He was born in Paris into a wealthy Jansenist family" -- this seems unlikely.  He was born in 1637, and Jansen's Augustinus wasn't published until 1640.  So unless his family was connected to Jansen or Duvergier directly, they cannot have been "Jansenists" in 1637. 
Is it possible that his family wasn't Jansenist when he was born, but became so in his youth?

Talk:George Cœdès

message: Charles F. Keyes, prof. of anthropology, University of Washington and director of the Northwest Regional Consortium for Southeast Asia Studies has this to say in The golden peninsula : culture and adaptation in mainland Southeast Asia, (Honolulu: SHAPS Library of Asian Studies, University of Hawai'i Press, 1995), , Chap. 2 footnote 1, p. 106: The foremost authority on early Southeast Asian history, Professor George Coedès, first used the term hindouisé for those societies that borrowed elements from India. However, most authorities writing in English have preferred the term "Indianization" to avoid the misleading impression that only Hinduism was diffused from India to Southeast Asia. For a recent excellent study of "Indianization" and the characteristics of "Indianized" civilization, see Paul Wheatley, "Satyānrta in Suvarṇadvīpa: From Reciprocity to Redistribution in Ancient Southeast Asia," in Ancient Civilization and Trade, ed. by Jeremy Sabloff and C.

thread_title: Indianized kingdom

message: Nonsense. I am removing this nonsensical comment. The Inscription markers in Lampung containing the text detailing Sriwijaya founding kingdom were shown to Coedes by Indonesian native guides. Furthermore, the British and Dutch knew of its partner marker in Northern Thailand.
In his speech made to the Committee for the Investigation of Indonesian Independence on the extent of the territory to be covered by an independent Indonesia, Yamin declared: 
"Sriwijaya was the first Indonesian State, Majapahit the second, and the Indonesia of
1945 - the third Indonesian State - was the natural inheritor of the boundaries of Majapahit:...
 In 1894, Mr Chairman, 50 years ago, the Dutch forces carried on their politics of imperialism by burning the royal palace of Cakranegara on the island of Lombok.
The people were murdered, the palace was burnt, and the gold was seized. Amongst the loot was an ancient book written in Old Javanese, dating from the year 1365,
written by the poet Prapanca during the reign of King Hayam Wuruk under the patronage of the Vice Regent Gajah Madah, a year before (sic) this great statesman
died (1364).''

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Amelot_de_La_Houssaye states that "l'auteur fut envoyé à la Bastille, où il ne resta que six mois" whereas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Nicolas_Amelot_de_la_Houssaye states that "the author was sent to the Bastille, where he remained, however, only six weeks {Archives de la Bastille, vol. viii. pp. 93 and 94)".
So:
* how long exactly did Abraham-Nicolas Amelot de La Houssaye remain in la Bastille? 
* is there an hyphen between Abraham and Nicolas? 
* is it possible that the english article Nicolas Amelot de La Houssaye become Abraham-Nicolas Amelot de La Houssaye? If yes, how?

Talk:Sawada

message: Hi there. I've just assesed the article for WP:VG. Hopefully the following suggestions wil be useful.
* Street Fighter: The Movie (video game) - this seemed a little confusing, partly because there was a movie and partly because there is a videogame of the same name. Is it possible to break out the elements that are pulled from the movie and those that are pulled from the videogame, possibly under seperate headings? If you're focusing purely on the videogame rendering of the character, is it possible to swap the film image with one taken from the videogame? Also, is it possible to explore the character's purpose and progression from a plotline or story point of view, alongside the technical aspects you've already covered?
* Gameplay - are there any sources available for this information? I'm guessing that the game's manual might help here, or possibly game reviews.
* Street Fighter (USA cartoon) - No problems with this section
* References - Alan-noon.com looks like a blog website. Is it possible to explain the relevance and importance for using it here? Who is Alan Noon in relation to this context? It's concerning because a lot of references rest on it, so it's important to explain it's justification.
Other than that, is there any information that indicates a legacy? Has the character cropped up in later games such as Capcom Vs SNK? Have any other game designers cited Sawada as an inspiration for a character they created?
Hope all this helps. If you have any questions or would like me to expand on anything, just ask. Gazimoff (talk) 14:59, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
