thread_title:  Life with William Blake 

message: '...he has been said to be "a key early proponent of both Romanticism and Nationalism"'
Blake can hardly be considered a key proponent of 'Nationalism' and although the quote has been copied widely, probably from this article, it is no less problematic. Detracting from the value of the quote is that it is taken from a book entitled History of the World: Map by Map, hardly a definitive source on the artist's life. I'm not quite sure how to proceed in a case like this. RobotBoy66 (talk) 08:59, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree, and have removed the claim. See alsohere. Ceoil (talk) 10:21, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

text: Agreed - his influence was slow to grow, and by the time it became significant, both "Romanticism and Nationalism" were in full flow anyway in England. I think he can be called nationalistic, but so was British culture before he was born. See eg Linda Colley's Britons: Forging of a Nation 1707-1837 (1992).

Talk:Uh County

message: It's better to move a page than to simply copy and paste it somewhere else, because now all the history of the entry is still at the "Ung" entry. Please fix this. Besides, I don't think "Uh County" is the most appropriate title for the entry, since most of the county is now in Ukraine (which promotes "Uzh county"), and it was a Hungarian county (which promotes the original "Ung").

Talk:Burgundian Wars

message: Yes, I know that this article resides at a plural. However, in this case, I'm pretty sure that this is correct. At least in German, these events are known by the term Burgunderkriege, which is plural, too. Google searches for the French phrases "guerres de bourgogne" or "guerre de bourgogne" yield 554 and 112 hits, respectively. Google searches for the German phrases yield similar results. Encarta also has its article under the heading "Burgunderkriege" (they don't appear to have an English article on these events). Lupo 13:59, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: The image that's in the infobox is from the Battle of Laupen, although the Burgundians also fought in that battle, it was more than 100 years before the Burgundian Wars... So I think it should be removed or replaced. Stuntelaar (talk) 20:36, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Ceylon, Minnesota

message: To Whom It May Concern,
I am just curious. How in the world did the small Minnesote Town of Ceylon City get that name in the first place?
I would be most grateful if someone could explain its brief history. I wonder if it has any relation to the country Ceylon, now Sri Lanka?
Cheers,
S.DeSilva
I grew up in Ceylon, MN as we were always told that when a name was being chosen for the town, someone on the "committee" was in the grocery store and saw a package of Ceylon Tea from the island nation now known as Sri Lanka.  I have no idea if this is true, but it was the story we were told in school.

replies: text: Looking back a bit one editor added the Ryan text and citation and another removed the text and citation and gave a cite spamming warning which looks like it was warranted. Tricky one, if it was the milestone in aircraft control it says then the text should be re-added but perhaps with a different source to keep everyone happy. Something ought to be added to the Navion article as well. The redirect title could be applied to any number of research aircraft and perhaps should be deleted or targeted to a better place. Cheers Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 15:11, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the title should be deleted from wikipedia because this particular term seems to be rare (perhaps too specialised?) and therefore difficult to source. Articles which refer to use of a Navion in this particular "variable response" research call it a variable stability aircraft. Variable Stability Research Aircraft is the correct title for a wiki article as there is plenty out there, egCalspan work, on the subject. Or VSRA could be a new section in this article or another existing article. Which would be the best place to put it? Thanks.  Pieter1963 (talk) 00:21, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Swildon's Hole

message: Its fairly obvious to anyone familiar with Swildons that this is a rather inadequate account (written during my coffee break), after all theres a whole book coming out soon. Anyway I thought that there really ought to be something there, even if its just to get teh ball rolling. List of things that should be added (please add to the list):
-History of exploration
-Geology (after all the page is about the cave, not just caving in the cave)
-Hydrology (I once spent a very cold Sunday taking water samples, which I hope was not in vain) in particular that the water comes out in Wookey.

Talk:Canadian federalism

message: There is much more we can discuss here about this constitution when someone gets around to it and there are some interesting cases that could be cited and linked here.
I moved the page from the awkward name of "Federal Provincial Distribution of Legislative Powers" to "Canadian federalism", for what (to me) seems obvious reasons. The so-called "division of powers" is what, in Constitutional terms, is called Federalism. It's a well-defined term and is far more widely used than "Federal Provincial distribution...etc". Hope I'm not ruffling any feathers with the moving of the page. Cheers! - PullUpYourSocks 01:31, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Page move

message: Any thoughts on how much detail in legal interpretation of Canadian federalism should be here vs. in other places (e.g. Canadian constitutional law, Constitution Act, 1867, Section 91 of the Constitution Act, 1867, various others?) I think a consolidation and organization project would help focus attention on covering law of federalism issues at suitable levels of detail across these various articles. I would like to work on Canadian constitutional law coverage generally so hoping for some input. ShinyObjectsOnly (talk) 21:19, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Kirisutan Holocaust/Votes for deletion

message: Kirisutan Holocaust was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was KEEP.  9 votes to keep, 2 votes to move to new title and keep, 1 vote to delete.  Postdlf 03:01, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: I think this is false anti-Japanese propaganda. I find no evidence that any such "holocaust" occurred; further, the editor's other contributions are all intensely pro-Korean anti-Japanese POV. --jpgordon {gab} 15:31, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

text: I would agree; it clearly does need substantial rewriting.  I suspect it may be much better known under some other name than either "Kirisutan Holocaust" or "Kirishtan Holocaust", and if we knew it, we'd have access to more than the one POV on the events; unfortunately, I haven't found many clues what that name would be.  -- Antaeus Feldspar 21:07, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Found this: http://www.baobab.or.jp/~stranger/mypage/chrinjap.htm Looks like a total dead about 3,000 and although people emotionally affected by this event appear to refer to it as the Kirishtan Holocaust, whether it's an unbiased or appropriate name would have to be investigated. Perhaps someone could move some of this discussion to the page's talk page once it's decided the article should be kept. Mona-Lynn 04:47, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  This came to me in an e-mail from my Japanophile friend: "I do know a bit about the topic. I actually wrote a paper on the 'hidden Christians' that existed underground for a couple of centuries after the events spoken of.  I don't know about the person's stats.  I do know that a pretty substantial number of people were killed but the reasons and numbers are debatable.  The greatest number were killed after the Chrisitan Daimyo on the Kyushu staged a rebellion.  Lots and lots of people were killed but were they killed because they were Christians or because they were rebels?" Mona-Lynn 22:55, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

text: Well, I've seen the figure of 3000 people killed and I've seen the figure of one million people killed.  I don't know which is correct.  Frankly, I'd be more inclined to believe the latter figure, because if there were only 3000 Christians to kill they probably wouldn't have been perceived as a threat to begin with, and if there were enough Christians to pose a threat and in 250 years they only killed 3000 of them, it seems damned inefficient.  -- Antaeus Feldspar 18:56, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Kolomna

message: Blast these languages without articles!
The Russian wikipedia says states, "райцентр в Московской области".  That is "regional center in Moscow Oblast."  I don't know enough about oblasts and such to be able to interpret that as the regional center of the Moscow Oblast (like a county seat??), or a regional center in the Moscow Oblast (more than one??).  It's that "в" preposition, "in" , as opposed to the genetive ("of"), that fails to clarify.  Any help from a native?  --Kbh3rd 15:34, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Да, да, это уже узнал.  But a closer reading of the oblast and raion articles make it fairly clear that raioni are usually subdivisions of oblasti, so the answer to my question is likely that Kolomna is a regional or district central city.  (Just like this article says – when did that get in there?? ;-)  Kbh3rd 16:12, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Each oblast has its own regional center (oblastnoj centr), and is further broken down into rajons. The rajons have their own regional centers (rajcentr). So, for example, the Ukrainian Dnipropetrovs'ka Oblast has its capital at Dnipropetrovs'k, but the Dniprodzerzhyns'kyj rajon within that oblast has its own capital at Dniprodzerzhyns'k.

message: * Kolomna's name may originate from the Old Russian term for "on the bend (in the river)"? May be this name from Turkic word "kölemen" (slave man)? Russian Kolomna Region=Kolomenskiy Oblast, this is interesting. There is another interesting thing, word slave comes from Slav. So maybe Kolomna was founded by a slave man (kölemen)?

Talk:Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

message: I have bought a few horses from an auction barn in Houston Texas. I know there are some illegal activities surrounding the sale of the horses but I did not find out until after I had gotten the horses home. I discovered the coggins test papers had been switched with other horses. There was one that I bought which had a Louisana coggins test paper. Two or three of the horses were misrepresented severly in order to sell them. I am a police officer and would rather stay on the right side of the law.What do I need to do to get someone to investigate the Cullen Blvd Auction Barn and specifically Mr Les Ray, who is the owner of the sale barn, and his illegal choice of business practices?
:Not exactly the proper place to address this, but serious nonetheless. Start by contacting the state agriculture department. They will then contact the Federal authorities governing the interstate sale of animals. Bugguyak 23:41, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
