Talk:Marc Scibilia

message: Marc Scibilia has recently become very prominent due to his song Hope Anthem being used by the Ron Paul revolution. Please give me a day to bring an article up to speed, I am new to this. Would appreciate any and all advice. Thanks.
Here's the young man's "Hope Anthem" on YouTube.  I don't have time to properly post it now but somebody else is welcome to edit the link in.  Note by ~Dr. B. R. Lang:

message: In what context does Mac Mhic Iain appear in Collins Scottish Clan & Family Encyclopedia. It currently appears in the article's infobox as a Gaelic name of the clan.

It remained in his family until the death of his descendant Alexander Bethune of Blebo in 1900. The mineral discoveries in 1722 were during the ownership of John Bethune of Blebo (born 1699).

They quote from the charter granting land for Rievaulx Abbey about “Gaufridi de Traili” and say that the Traillis were Domesday tenants who probably came from Trelly, near Coutances after the Conquest.

Talk:Jessie Bartlett Davis

message: The New York Times obituary was used to calculate her birth year. According to it, she was 46 years old when she died in 1905. I accessed it earlier today and it worked, but now it doesn't. That would put her birth year at 1859 or 1858. This book says 1866 on page 92. Royalbroil 01:45, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I did some google searching too. I'm not concerned with websites that are user generated like answers.com, imdb.com, tv.com, etc. because they aren't trustworthy. Almost all websites found while searching with "Jessie Barlett Davis" 1861 - 1905 aren't reliable. The only possibility might be this, but you can tell its uncertain with the "circa 1859-1861". I think this problem can only be solved with highly reliable sources (a relative term) like major world newspapers, magazines, and books per WP:RS. You're right - I've even found them to be unreliable. Her obituary might have been written by her press agent or family. But they're the best we got, except if there's strong evidence like her daughter was born before her (I'm laughing!). What proof is there about her sister's birth year? I have 2 cousins who were born in the same year to the same woman (Feb. and Dec.), but that's highly unusual. Most likely one or both of the sources are wrong. I think we should list no birth year (or circa 1859 / 1861) and put her in the category Year of birth missing. Royalbroil 21:21, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: You're not completely off the mark. Either this template is over the history of the "Mongols", which would exclude Xiongnu etc., or it is about the history of Mongolia or Greater Mongolia, which would exclude Kalmykia. Only if you combine what belongs to people and territory, you arrive at such a history. But I don't say that this needs to be inadaequate. Anyway, it appears to me that this template is MORE about Mongols than it is about Mongolia. G Purevdorj (talk) 19:42, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

2-The same ongs that are against the police, do nothing to drag those kids out of the crime life.
