message: Gotham, Co. of Nottingham.  
Cuckoo Bush, near Gotham, tradition says, was planted or set to commemorate a trick which the inhabitants of Gotham put upon King John.' The tale is told thus : King John, passing through this place towards Nottingham, intending to go over the meadows, was prevented by the villagers, they apprehending that the ground over which a king passed was for ever after to become a public road. The King, incensed at their proceedings, sent from his Court soon after some of his servants, to inquire of them the reason of their incivility and ill-treatment, that he might punish them by way of fine, or some other way he might judge most proper. The villagers, hearing of the approach of the King's servants, thought of an expedient to turn away his Majesty's displeasure from them ; when the messengers arrived at Gotham, they found some of the inhabitants engaged in endeavouring to drown an eel in a pool of water; some were employed in dragging carts upon a large barn, to shade the wood from the sun ; others were tumbling their cheeses down a hill, that they might find their way to Nottingham for sale ; and some were employed in hedging in a cuckoo which had perched upon an old bush which stood where the present one now stands ; in short, they were all employed in some foolish way or other, which convinced the King's servants that it was a village of fools ; whence arose the old adage, "The wise men," or "The fools of Gotham."  The words of an humble poet may be here applicable : —  " Tell me no more of Gotham fools. Or of their eels in little pools,  Which they were told were drowning ; Nor of their carts drawn up on high When King John's men were standing by,  To keep a wood from browning.  "Nor of their cheese shoved down the hill, Nor of a cuckoo sitting still.  While it they hedg&d round ; Such tales of them have long been told, By prating boobies, young and old, In drunken circles crowned.  " The fools are those who thither go To see the cuckoo bush, I trow.

Talk:Wolfdietrich

message: Have a look at Badenhausen's CV: . The guy is obviously a qualified electrical engineer, but he has no apparent qualification in the study of medieval literature, clearly does not have a university post. Every article in his huge list is self published, as are his two books - not a single item has passed through the hands of an editor who would have had it scrutinised by an acknowledged expert. This is not scholarship, it's just crackpot amateur stuff (these legends seem to attract it). Proved, I would have thought, by the fact that he bases his work on Ritter-Schaumburg, whose work is dismissed as ill-informed rubbish by Germanists (as B. himself admits at ). As a purely self-published author Badenhausen, with no standing in German studies, he has no place as a source in this or any other article on MHG literature. If any of his claims happen to have some merit, then it's only because someone else has already made them, and those genuine experts should be the sources. --Pfold (talk) 19:24, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

text: In this case the idea of a Frankish origin goes back to Müllenhoff (1848!), followed by others, so there's no need to cite Badenhausen as a source. In fact, citing a non-expert rather than the established scholars who've argued for it makes it look like the theory might be suspect. It certainly remains debateable but it's not suspect. --Pfold (talk) 16:08, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Nesbit Willoughby

message: The article claims:
Willoughby "had the unusual distinction of being knighted twice, in 1827 and 1832. On the second occasion he was invested with the insignia of a K.C.H. Knight Commander of the Hanoverian Order, a curious blunder on the part of King William IV."
Three problems with this:
*It purports to be a direct quote, but is not cited, and the only Google result for this text is this article.
*I don't understand what the "unusual distinction" is supposed to be. Lots of people have received more than one knighthood, as here with one or more knighthood in an order of chivalry potentially combined with a knight bachelorship.
*I also don't understand what the "curious blunder" is supposed to be. That he was knighted twice? That the second knighthood was a KCH? Neither seem remotely problematic to me. Proteus (Talk) 17:13, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Talk:1920 Democratic National Convention

message: This info could be useful for the article, if it can be checked. It concerns sports writer Ring W. Lardner and humorist Irvin S. Cobb covering the convention. 
From “The Lost Journalism of Ring W. Lardner”:
As the balloting continued, a few bored delegates responded to the long feud between the candidates with some nonsense of their own. On the twenty-third ballot Lardner received half a vote, while Cobb got 1½. On the next ballot, when Lardner got the vote of Mrs. James J. Shepard of Kansas City, the Kansas City Star ran her picture along with Lardner’s column, which made news around the country. Other papers commented on these antics, which they viewed as something new in political coverage. 
“There was a marked air of cynicism in the press in all the articles about the conventions,” the San Jose Evening News editorialized. “Ring Lardner, Irvin Cobb, and the other avowed and confessed humorists made no bones about making all kinds of fun of the delegates and their intentions and general infirmity of intention. And the supposedly serious writers were almost as bad. There was a time when national political conventions were not so regarded. It was then considered quite a solemn and important thing. At first glimpse, such an attitude seems preferable. But after all, this light easy cynicism of the press may do good, and may cause the mass of the voters not to take too seriously the pretensions of the mass of the politicians.” 
Finally, on the forty-fourth ballot, the convention nominated James A. Cox and the fun came to an end. 2A00:23C7:E287:1901:94A8:1E9F:4F7F:8133 (talk) 20:26, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
