Talk:Satakunta

message: Satakunta (region) → Satakunta — There is a disabiguation page for the historical province Satakunta (disambiguation), so there is no reason marking them both (historical province) or (region) Of course the current province is a lot more important than its history..

thread_title:  Requested move 

message: In the introductory chapter, there is a separate sentence "There is a small minority of Finland-Swedes in Satakunta." Indeed, this is a very small minority: there are about 350 Swedish-speaking persons in Pori, the capital of the region. In other municipalities, the net number of Swedish-speakers is much lower than this (785 in 1999 ). The Folktinget does not mention any Swedish inhabitation in Satakunta in its publication Finlandssvenskarna 2005 — en statistisk rapport. I would go as far as to say that such a small minority (0.3% out of total population) does not merit mention, especially as all Swedish-speakers in Satakunta are very fluent in Finnish. --MPorciusCato (talk) 12:12, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

message: User:Pko has taken a practice of re-creating the page Satakunta (historical province), contrary to the earlier consensus which resulted in merging the that article with this one. Considering that this article already discusses the whole historical province, and the nowadays region, I'd like him to give reasons for re-creating that article.

Talk:Sigtrygg Silkbeard

message: The second paragraph of the section entitled "Second Leinster revolt against Brian Boru" says:  "Despite Sigurd's initial hesitance and against the advice of his men, he eventually agreed to arrive in Dublin by Palm Sunday with all his host, on the condition that if Brian was slain, Sigtrygg would marry Gormflaith and become King of Ireland."  (Sigtrygg later made the same promise to Bróðir.)  
I can see how Bróðir would accept the promise of marriage to Gormflaith, but I have doubts about  Sigtrygg being promised marriage to Gormflaith.  Gormflaith was Sigtryggs mother!  I accept that Sigurd offered Sigtrygg the kingship, but I doubt he intended to marry his own mother.  That sort of behaviour went out with the Greeks, didn't it?  I would check the fact in the sources cited, but I don't have access to them.  Was it a mistake?  Or was Sigtrygg really contemplating a re-enactment of Oedipus?
Ninanta (talk) 18:32, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: This has got to be a mistake. I'm not an expert on this, but the genealogical records from this era often have a lot of the same, or similar, names being used in each generation. When you combine that with the variant spellings used for the same person, and people often recording the names without knowing proper birth years or spelling variations, you can get weird mistakes like that when someone isn't paying attention. I don't recall anything about any of these people marrying their mother. That would be a rather notable thing to record. I'll try to look into the sources later if no one else gets to it first. I'd advise doing something to fix it now, though. - CorbieV☊☼ 21:32, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Sigurd the Stout

message: Does anybody have decent information about who Sigurd's mother was?
I mean, Assuming he was indeed born around 960, which would mean he had reached about the ripe age of 55 at the time of his attested death at Clontarf, any first generation offspring of Cearbhall Mc Dunlainge would have been past 70 when he was born, meaning that if Cearbhall was indeed his forebear, he would have to be his great grandfather, with possibly a generation or two more in between them.

Talk:Stephen I of Croatia

message: I am interested whether, personally, he sided more with the Roman or Byzantine leadership after the 1054 schism. I know his son ended up siding with Rome, probably in part because he was also busy trying to conquer his lands away from the Byzantines, who had been losing hold of them for a while.
Also, what languages did he personally speak? Latin? Greek? A slavic language or two? All of the above? JoshNarins (talk) 17:14, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Not much to say for the last four years of his rule (After schism), since there aren't much records to rely on...  However, some earlier sources indicate that he was a "close" ally of the Byzantines. The language that was used in charters was primarily Latin (no Greek). However, the court of his succesor Kresimir IV used some slavic (Early Croatian) words such as Vinotoc (Wine pourer) and Postelnicus(bed maker) etc., assuming that Stephen used it on his court as well.

Talk:Taillefer

message: According to the book Families Directly Descended from All the Royal Families in Europe (495 to 1932) & Mayflower Descendants by Elizabeth M. Leach Rixford, the Taillefer referred to in this article was called William Taillefer, Le Chauser or Chassard and was the son of Geoffrey Taillefer, 10th Count of Angouleme who was also father to Foulque Taillefer, 11th Count of Angouleme. Seems, at least according to this source, he was also a member of the Norman nobility as well as a jongleur (from what I understand of the original meaning of "jongleur" the two wouldn't be mutually exclusive).
EDIT: A copy of the book can be found here at googlebooks with the relevant information found on page 137.
While I would ideally like to update the article to include this information I thought it best to present it here first.

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Hist401

message: Hello everyone. my colleague and I are planning to edit and expand this article so that it includes some more information about Orderic Vitalis. We plan to revise the lead to the article so that it reflects the content in the rest of the article. We also want to add information about Vitalis' youth from the works of Marjorie Chibnall and other scholars to the background. Along with those additions, we would like to change the title of the section to Background and Early Life. Next we plan to expand on Vitalis' monastic life. Currently the article describes it as uneventful. We hope to remove this as, to whatever degree this may seem factual, it doesn't truly represent his time in his Abbey. We hope to add information on the various titles that he held in the church and the contributions he made as a scribe and librarian. We do not plan to edit the Historia Ecclesiastica section. Lastly we are planning to add an additional section dedicated to Vitalis' secular commentary. While many of his writings had a religious tone, he also spoke on the events of his day. following in the footsteps of Chibnall, we would like to expand the article to reflect the importance of his comments on secular life and the audience they were intended for. hopefully this will allow us to link other wikipedia articles to this one and expand its viewership.
Please look over the edits, written in bold, on my sandbox to review the additions we are planning to make. User:Seanconnerysbeard/Orderic Vitalis

Talk:Raymond du Puy

message: "…and in 1130 Pope Innocent II gave the order their coat of arms, a silver cross (today known as the Maltese cross) in a field of blue (gueulles)."
There's something a bit wrong here. Gueulles in French heraldry surely means red, not blue, and the coat of arms shown at the article Sovereign Military Order of Malta does indeed show "gules a cross argent" (ie a red field with a silver cross). Is this mistake in the source? Kelisi (talk) 15:42, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: "Moréri's one-volume edition of 1674 was revised by others after his death, each time it was published. It was translated into English, German, Italian, Dutch and Spanish. A total of at least 20 different editions were published between 1674 (one volume) and 1759 (10 volumes)."
So I am afraid unless we can pinpoint edition, volume and page exactly, this quote has to be considered unsubstantiated. 
The 1759 edition in ten volumes is, of course, in French. It is online here, and I have not been able to even find an entry on Raymond (there is an entry on Gerard, which names Raimond du Puy), but Raymond does not appear to have a separate entry. It seems clear that this English paragraph is not taken from the 1759 French edition. 
It is well possible that the gueulles citations originates wherever this is taken from, but it strikes me as unwise, in any case, to use even a verified 18th-century encyclopedia as a standalone secondary reference in 2016. --dab (𒁳) 10:14, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
