Talk:John Johns

message: I'm writing because I don't have time to clear up a mess, and maybe someone who has time can improve this massively flawed article. The biography of Johns written during Virginia's Massive Resistance era (cited in the text) has major issues, not the least caused by its non-chronological order.
Its appendix(p. 161) discusses a "serious embarrassment" concerning John Johns' sister Henrietta, who was apparently disowned by her father Kensey Johns because of her marriage to a Virginian. It says that Kensey Johns (who was born at West River, Maryland would become Chief Justice of Delaware in 1798 and later Chancellor of Delaware circa 1830, retiring in favor of his namesake and dying in 1848) owned two slaves in 1800 and none by 1810. Also, the main text at p. 4 says that the Quaker Johns family in Maryland freed their slaves in 1807. Emancipation was a major issue among Virginia Quakers, and some left their church because of it, as well as persecution of those with abolitionist views. Of course, the Delaware Johns could very well have disagreed with the Maryland Johns.
Another problem is that Henrietta actually married twice in Virginia. Her first husband, Thomas South, she married in Alexandria, Virginia (which I know was a major slave trading center), yet it also states he owned no slaves in 1819. His name's difficult to google, but since it wasn't a census year, it might be the year of his death. On November 13, 1823, in Upperville, Virginia (in what later became known as Mosby country), Henrietta married Irishman James Byrne, and she died in the same area in 1837. According to the appendix, her father's name was never mentioned in the Byrne family. Did Kensey disown her for marrying beneath her class or because Byrne may have believed in slavery? Furthermore, I don't have time to read the book closely, but was disturbed that neither the initial text nor appendix about Henrietta mentioned the Johns sibling who became a lawyer in 1810 and actually succeeded his father as Chancellor of Delaware, as well as also served as U.S. Representative from Delaware, Kensey Johns, Jr.. That article is also skeletal, not mentioning either the slavery issue so important in that era, nor does it mention Henrietta -- and also gives his religion as Presbyterian (a denomination that split over slavery--I'm not sure how close to his 1857 death). BTW, the appendix p. 163 does discuss how Kensey Johns Sr. served at least one year (and maybe the entire 1786-1842 period) on the vestry of Immanuel Church in New Castle, Delaware.Jweaver28 (talk) 00:43, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

message: Man plants reside in france, California, of the united states.  Adam sessler, a rare species, is heavily in danger of ninjas and pirates.  Most of the Sessler species of plants can survive through werewolf attacks, Saw Movie parodies, and the occasional Olivia Munnster attacks.
Many projects have been set up in place to protect this rare strand of plant life.  Much of the Adam Sessler plant's life is slaving over the show X-Play and G-4 Tv.  He is a rare find since this channel has repeatedly changed their name countless times (about 4 times).

thread_title: Request move

message: Not yet completed. To do: something on his lack of interest in religion (notable when compared to his predecessors and successors), perhaps a summary of his myriad offspring in list format and some idea of how the subsequent kings relate to him (yes, this could be seen as recapitulating House of Dunkeld, or should do if that was a decent article, but my views on that aren't hard to find). Spin-off-wise, the various articles where I expressed doubts over whether Ingebjorg Finnsdotter was Thorfinn's widow or daughter need to be aligned with this, Ingebjorg needs her own article, and so does Finn Arnesson. John of Fordun, I see, has more on Edward's death, so I suppose that needs to be included. Any comments much appreciated. Angus McLellan  (Talk) 23:34, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Wonderful transformation. Congrats so far. I did a few edits, and added one reference. Regarding religion, although he's certainly not as active as his sons Edgar, Alexander and David, I wouldn't say he had a total lack of interest in religion; I'd be careful about ascribing the supposed religious innovations to his English queen, as later propganda usually has it.

Talk:Village banking

message: The only reference in this article is to FINCA's own documentation.  There are several excellent third party studies (Westley's Tale of Four Village Banking Programs in Latin America, several from the MicroBanking Bulletin many studies on the Microfinance Gateway and at Alternative Finance, etc.) available and this article should reference some of their findings.  Some of the comments in this article is inherently extremely difficult to verify (level of poverty of clients for example).  There have been serious questions raised about the effectiveness of the village banking methodology -- especially in its core goal of triggering independent village-based financial institutions.  
Village banking and its methodology is a small part of a much larger field in microfinance of community-based methods.  It relies heavily on previous precedents of social capital lending including ROSCAs, ASCAs, bonds of association and other work in solidarity lending.  None of this is evident in the existing article.Brett epic 16:27, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Was the initial version of this copied from/based on User:Sambc/wip/Removal of Uncited Material? The loss of the edit history might be seen as causing some GFDL problems, as well as being unethical. I understand why it was done, but the original intent had been to get into it a much less 'raw' state before moving into the project namespace.
Also, it become very difficult to find out what changes, if any, were made to the initial version in this location compared to the base version. Also, edits have since been made to the original. SamBC 16:29, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually it is a license violation as the license requires a reasonable way to track the history to determine who gets what attribution. It is not about a single work, it is about multiple contributors that need attribution. I suggest simple doing a null edit stating in the edit summary that X revision came from Y page/revision. That will satisfy GFDL. The other way would be to do a history merge. Until(1 == 2) 17:21, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
