Talk:Eurydice of Egypt

message: now the text has "Eurydice's lineage ended with Demetrius the Fair (285-240/49 BCE) son of Demetrius Poliorcetes and Ptolemais.". But this must be incorrect, because the murdered Demetrios the Handsome/Fair had two sons, King Antigonos Doson and Ekhekrates, and one grandson, Ekhekrates's son, another Antigonos (who is alive still in 179 BCE). 2001:14BA:4857:A000:A8AA:B86F:145A:9FEE (talk) 09:27, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Eustathius of Sebaste

Talk:Proclus (Montanist)

message: Declaring people heretics violates WP:NPOV. Jacob Haller 19:39, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's stupid. The people in question have all been dead for centuries, we hardly know what they believed anyway, and practically the only reason we have heard of them at all is because they were considered heretics by their contemporaries. "Heretic" is, de facto, a neutral historical term for people who were thrown out of mainstream Christian churches for teaching heterodox doctrines. The article is not "declaring" them heretics, it's simply describing a historical fact. Ming the Merciless 15:27, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Teacher of false religion" is not an NPOV description. Jacob Haller 19:09, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Neither is it an accurate definition of "heretic", which means "teacher of religious doctrine considered erroneous by a mainstream church". Ming the Merciless 11:54, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In my experience, the accusation of heresy is an accusation of grave religious error, not of grave religious error from the POV of a mainstream church; furthermore the classification of mainstream and non-mainstream is itself POV; and the argument that since the Montanists no longer exit, therefore they are not mainstream is victor's justice.

Talk:Antipater (1st-century BC physician)

message: Would there be any objection to moving this article to Antipater (1st-century BC physician)? Since 1st and century are working together as a compound adjective before the noun physician, it should be hyphenated.

Talk:James Douglas (the Black)

message: If there are no complaints, this article is being moved to Sir James Douglas. He was possibly the first and certainly the most famous to take this article name. Even tho' he was known as the Black Douglas to his enemies, it was only his great nephews that differentiated between Black and Red. Brendandh 02:51, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is an objection, namely WP naming conventions concerning honorifics in titles (Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles)#Other non-royal names).  Unfortunately, I moved it to the wrong name - I wasn't aware it had a previous name, but was acting on the discussion in James Douglas (disambiguation).  I have removed it to what apparently was its former title. fishy 21:51, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I find this move back rather annoying, Sir James Douglas was the first of his name on historic record, a great hero of the wars of Scottish Independence, and furthermore was known as Sir James within his lifetime and by contemporary chroniclers, a name also by which he is known today. The disambiguation problems by calling him the Black Douglas arise because all Earls of Douglas and their close kindred from the 3rd Earl of Douglas to the ninth were known as Black Douglas. This to differentiate betrween them and the Red Douglas Earls of Angus. Sir James was feudal superior of the barony of Douglas, called commonly today a lairdship, but know then as the lordship of Douglas, this was not a title in peerage, as this had not been formally rationalised at this date. The name James which has been used as a common name throughout the history of the House of Douglas is in regard of this early warrior. The governor of British Columbia, although I am not sure of it exactly, was (great?) grandson of Dunbar Douglas, 4th Earl of Selkirk, therefore a direct male descendant of Sir William the Hardy, Sir James Douglas father. regards.

replies: text: I think some balance is called for; we aren't suppoised to bring every commercial to life and relevancy. I predict less than 6 months from now, no one will remember the commercial.

Talk:Parterre

message: The Gallery shows four photos of a herbaceous border that is confined to formally shaped beds: its inclusion shows that we don't all understand what a parterre is. The Wikipedia reader must be mystified. --Wetman (talk) 23:48, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A parterre is a formal garden construction on a level surface consisting of planting beds, edged in stone or tightly clipped hedging, and gravel paths arranged to form a pleasing, usually symmetrical pattern.  Shown is one half of a small symmetrical parterre: one of two four-part beds flanking a central path (which isn't shown), hedged with Ilex crenata, bordered by pea gravel paths. Modern parterres are often filled with herbaceous planting. Sorry, Wetman, I'm not sure why you think this isn't a parterre. Can you clarify? Jasper33 (talk) 10:43, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone who imagines that "Modern parterres are often filled with herbaceous planting" shows complete unfamiliarity with gardens. Hidcote Manor and Sissinghurst Castle Garden, both planted with mixed herbaceous borders within formal structures, and in geometrical patterns on the ground, as their garden plats manifest, must look like parterres to Jasper33, whom I can't help in this. For an example of a parterre at Hidcote, see the "Fuschia Garden", set out with fuschias in season, in shapes defined in box, outlined in bricked pathways. A good introduction, understandable even to someone who has never read anything about gardens, would be Penelope Hobhouse, Planting in Patterns Harper & Row, 1989. I have taken down my copy and shall edit it into the article, for the benefit of those without access to a library, for a start. There are many ways of planting in patterns: a parterre is a parterre. There will not be room for those mistaken— or at least misapplied in this case— and misleading pictures, pretty as they are. --Wetman (talk) 00:18, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
