Talk:Jane Peterson

message: Citing sources
This article was marked in April 2007 as not citing its sources. The only facts listed in the stub at the time ar references to her work in the Metropolitan Museum of New York, National Museum of Women in the Arts, and the Museum of the City of New York. I found her work at met.org, but couldn't find references at the other two museum's sites, so I removed those two for now. I'm writing about Peterson for another site, so will try to add more to this entry in the near future. 65.96.168.182 18:54, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Lucrezia Crivelli

message: Since the identity of the woman in the painting is officially unknown, and the claim that she's Lucrezia is completely unsubstantiated (there's not one certain reference that this is the case - it makes a sort of romantic tale, but does it belong on Wikipedia?  Without citations, this picture needs to gointo the Mystery Woman category and be discussed as what it is - a portrait of an unknown woman by Leonardo da Vinci, done while he was in the court of the Duke of Milan.--LeValley 04:40, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Canet gun

message: I am highly dubious of the claim that the Japanese cruisers were given "112cm guns". That's a bore of over 44 inches diameter. The shells for such a monster would weigh far more than the weights quoted; we'd be talking thousands of kilograms, 10,000+ pounds. I'm no material scientist, but I'm pretty sure of that. And the articles on the cruisers all give the size as 32cm, just like the initially quoted gun. And there is a perfectly clear photo of the crew standing on the deck of one of the cruisers, with the gun directly to starboard, and it certainly looks much more like a 12"-class gun than a 44"-class guns. Although I wouldn't dare use such original research as proof of anything. Perhaps "112cm" is referring to the length of the projectiles, or something? If so, it really needs to me made clear in the text, because traditionally when one says "a (blank)-centimeter shell", the automatic assumption is that it refers to the size of the bore, not length of shell (in fact, I don't think I've ever seen the length of a shell specified anywhere, as it's only pertinent to ballistics.

Talk:Ludovico Chigi Albani della Rovere

message: Chigi-Della Rovere-Albani is only a branch of Chigi family or Della Rovere family (and not even the most important branch). Chigi and Della Rovere are two distinct Italian families in their long history and are not related to Albania. Ludovico Chigi Albani della Rovere is a member of Albani family by an his ancestor's maternal line. The alleged Albanian origins of Albani family date back to 1400! Too far back in time to define Ludovico Chigi Albani della Rovere (died in 1951) of Albanian descent. For the same reason, it would be very funny if we defined every Medici family member (as we know, Medicis had many foreign wives)... of French, English, German, Spanish, Austrian descent! --Prodebugger (talk) 23:17, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I suspect that the image of this article is not correct. He was born in 1866 and this looks like a photograph taken around 1890, when he would be 27.

Talk:Salon d'Hercule

message: Originally, the fourth and penultimate chapel, the salon d’Hercule occupies the tribune level of this chapel. Initially called the nouveau salon près de la chapelle (new salon near the chapel) when the room was started in 1710 by Robert de Cotte for Louis XIV. 
*Clarify the first sentence. In trying to deduce what you mean, I conclude that the salon occupies the upper part of what was once a chapel. But that is not what the sentence says. 
* A really important piece of information:  the room was started in 1710 by Robert de Cotte for Louis XIV is included as a clause tagged onto a sentence about the name. Tell the reader clearly when and who in the first paragraph of the introduction. 
* The whole article needs proprly formatting and inline-referencing. Look up "help" if you don't know how to do it. 
* Also one ought not label one's own articles as "top-importance", without checking first to find out what sort of articles are actually rated as top-importance articles. One room within a famous building would need to be quite mind-blowingly extraordinary to rate as a "top-importance" article within the entire world of architecture. Top-importance articles on French architecture include topics like French Gothic architecture, French Renaissance architecture and the like. The Palace of Versailles, like the Parthenon is rated top-importance, as one of the world's most significant works of architecture. This does not mean that ever salon within it is rated the same way.

Talk:Calais (constituency)

message: It would be of understandable interest to French readers to know if any of the Members had French blood (the names look English, if they are not anglicisations) and if they had command of French language.Cloptonson (talk) 08:28, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Any MP's had French blood?

message: The article as originally written said Calais was represented by 1372 but had lapsed some time before 1536. I think this is probably an error and it was not in fact represented before 1536. 
* The History of Parliament 1386-1421 has no entry for Calais, suggesting it had ceased to be represented by 1386. Wedgwood's History of Parliament 1439-1509 (p xxv) also mentions Calais as one of the ports with no representation in that period.
* The History of Parliament 1509-1558 doesn't explicitly say whether Calais was represented when it first came under English rule, though it is clear it was a substantial enough town that it might have been.
*"Calais under Edward III" does not explicitly say it returned members to Parliament, but has a reference which matches the mention of 1372 in this article - "In the parliament of 1372 the burgesses of Calais made numerous petitions to the king ... in 1376 the Calaisiens petitioned the king in parliament a second time". However, the Parliament Rolls for 1372 list this as a "Petitions of the burgesses of Calais", alongside "Petition of the poor commons of Berwick upon Tweed" and "Petition of the merchants and mariners of England" - which suggests these might have been petitions to Parliament from the burgesses as a group, not from the town's representatives in Parliament. This thesis (p 180) mentions a 1377 petition from the burgesses of Calais, and clearly positions it as from the town not from its MPs.
*The 1372 Parliament Rolls notes that the list of members returned is reasonably complete in the 1878 Return of the Name of Every Member of the Lower House of Parliament 1213-1874; Calais is not listed here, although it is suggested that there were still some unknown members for towns.
None of this is quite conclusive in its own right, but put together I think it suggests perhaps Calais was not represented after all. Andrew Gray (talk) 23:48, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Couverture maladie universelle

message: I know that 'maladie' can be translated by 'disease' but in the context of the article, I feel that the previous translation is better.  'Universal disease coverage' sounds very strange.  Also how about accidents?  If someone with a low income breaks a leg, this person is included in the scheme; yet fractures do not constitute a ‘disease’.

message: I am going to completely overhaul the discography page.  It will not be complete when it is initially uploaded.  I will do it bit by bit, with all of the original stuff saved in my sandbox, to deal with later.
Because the bands discography is abnormal to most bands, I believe that should reflect an abnormal discography layout on here.  I will start with a section just for the notable studio albums.  Then a section for the albums released via labels that put out multiple on, so some may be shown in both (unless it is better to put them in just one and slightly tweak the name of the section).  There will be a link to a separate page that will house all releases in a sortable table. Simdude1990 (talk) 16:17, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Luigi Verderame

message: Someone proposed to delete this page, saying that:
::Notability concerns: Can't find reliable, secondary sources which provide coverage of this putative singer in order to demonstrate notability under WP:GNG or WP:ENT.
Sorry, that doesn't make any sense to me. Luigi *was* a very well known singer at the time, at least in much of Europe and in Israel. "Une Maman" and "Pitie" were very well known songs. See an example of his song "Une Maman" (and "proof" that he had albums and news coverage) in , and "Pitie" . In  you can find many of his songs in mp3 format.
What more would you like as a proof of his notability? News clippings from the 60s? Sorry, I don't have those. But he's a very well known singer (even today), much more than many of the non-notable singers, sport people, politicians, and so on, which have Wikipedia articles.

replies: text: Magnus II of Sweden →  – The current name fails the WP:PRECISION criterion: The Google Books results for "Magnus II" Sweden are mostly about a later king Magnus Eriksson. Alternative names that could be used are Magnus Henriksson (Swedish spelling) and Magnus Henriksen (Danish spelling). Both of these names stably redirect to the right target, so either is eligible as the title. Google Books search "Magnus II" 1161 only contains a handful of results that refer to this king, whereas "Magnus Henriksson" 1161 gives more than a dozen of hits. I am suggesting to use the Swedish spelling since it seems slightly more common than the Danish one in Google Books, and even the Danish Encyclopedia Den Store Danske uses the Swedish spelling.
