Talk:Broughton baronets

message: I am Shelagh Delves Broughton, half sister to David Delves Broughton and the sister of Geoffrey Delves Broughton. My understanding isn't that David’s claim to the title hasn’t been proven, but that it really isn't a part of himself that he has considered important enough to follow through with.
His parents, his mother and my father, Peter John Delves Broughton, were married briefly during the war and then divorced just afterward. His mother remarried shortly afterwards, moving to Australia with David who was a very young child at that time. I am not really sure if he remembers my father at all. Times were very different then they are today and I was led to believe that he wasn’t really aware of his family’s background until the film White Mischief was released for his mother hadn't told him of his families background.
Being that for David, at least as far as my understanding goes, having grown up in Australia unaware of this background, that attention that all else that came with the title, wasn’t something that he sought for himself and hasn't therefore chosen to make it a part of his life.
Geoffrey Delves Broughton, my younger brother, on the other hand was made aware of his family background as my parents remained married up until my fathers death. He has sons of his own and when the time comes that he inherits the title, I believe that he will feel more comfortable with it, having been aware of it all of his life.
We haven’t chosen to follow this all that closely, however, in any event, I would be interested to find out any further details, if there are any that I am unaware of.

Talk:Admiralty of Friesland

message: An excellent article; though it's only a translation, it seems to reflect some serious primary source research on the part of the original (Dutch language) author. The English language text seems quite good overall, though there are a few too many untranslated Dutch terms I think - I admit I'm likely guilty of using a few too many Japanese words in my own contributions without translating them, but still, I don't know Dutch, so it'd be helpful for our readers if words were explained out a bit better. Beyond that, it's pretty good. Some random double spaces here and there (I personally don't care for the double space between sentences, but more to the point, double spaces within a sentence are completely no good), some issues with British/Commonwealth vs US spelling, and with capitalisation of titles (Captain So-and-So should have a capital "C"), but all around quite good.

Talk:Ennoblement

message: "Ennoblement" currently redirects to "Nobilitation". Shouldn't that be the other way around? I don't have immediate access to the OED, but my American Heritage Dictionary 4th ed does not include "nobilitation" or "nobilitate", but does have an entry for "ennoble" and gives "ennoblement" as the accepted noun form. In short, there's no such word as "nobilitation" in the English language as recognized by the AHD. I'll check the OED when I get to the library. Wilhelm meis (talk) 19:51, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Polish noun "nobilitacja" and the corresponding verb "nobilitować" are polonizations of the Latin "nobilitas" and "nobilito," respectively.  Here the Polish adaptations are closer to the Latin originals than are their English cognates.  For the English terms are not "nobilitation" and "to nobilitate," but "ennoblement" and "to ennoble."  Nihil novi (talk) 04:01, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I might have suspected it was something like that. I consulted the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary 5th ed yesterday, and it lists "Nobilitate" as obsolete and refers the reader to the entry for "Ennoble". Therefor, since this is an English language Wikipedia article, I am inclined to move the article to the accepted English form of the word, rather than a transliteration of the Polish language cognate. I would have an equal expectation of finding the Polish article listed as "nobilitacja", rather than under some paleologism. Wilhelm meis (talk) 15:26, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Carroll Crest, Maryland

message: I don't want to be rude, since I'm sure the person who wrote this article is a resident of Carroll Crest and takes great pride in it. However, I have to say that Carroll Crest is a neighborhood, not a community. If you look at how Baltimore County is broken up, it's divided into CDPs and communities. A CDP is like the equivalent of a town, basically, and is recognized by the U.S. Census. Essex and Dundalk are good examples of this - large town-like places with many neighborhoods. Communities, as I understand them, are basically the same thing as CDPs, except they are not recognized by the U.S. Census for whatever reason. Chase is a great example of this since it has many of the things Essex and Dundalk have (post office, schools, many neighborhoods, etc.) but it is not recognized by the census for some reason.
In contrast to places like Essex, Dundalk, and Chase, Carroll Crest is a single neighborhood with nothing but residences. Most people usually consider it either part of Chase (due to elementary school assignment), Bowley's Quarters (due to proximity), or Middle River (due to zip code). Thus, for these reasons it does not qualify as a community in Baltimore County. I won't mark this for deletion just yet, under the hope that the original author will at least remove it from the communities tab or something after reading my explanation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rupper (talk • contribs) 16:42, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cothurnus is Latin 

message: Loretta Chase in Vixen in Velvet, a novel (published in 2014) set in 1835 London (i.e. a Regency romance), has the exceedingly stylish dressmaking heroine clad in brodequins footwear described by the hero as "a bit of satin and a sliver of leather" and by the heroine as "half-boots called brodequins".  The sixth definition for buskin provided by Dictionary.com states "a woman's low-cut shoe with elastic gores at the sides of the instep, popular in the early 20th century."  And Merriam Webster refers to brodequin as "a high shoe worn by women".  Either this buskin article should be expanded to include 19th and 20th century ladies footwear variations of brodequins or a separate article on brodequins (footwear) should be created.  (Currently the Brodequins article in the English Wikipedia refers to a heavy metal band.  The French version of Wikipedia has three brodequin articles, one for the torture device - a special form of footwear - which provided the naming inspiration for the heavy metal band, one for the heavy metal band, and one for the footwear much in the same vein as this English buskin article.  https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodequin  )Penelope Gordon (talk) 09:35, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
