message: Elliott, who held enslaved people, supported the Southern cause in the American Civil War.
:This statement seems redundant. If he was Bishop of the Confederate branch of the church, then he naturally supported the Southern cause, and would be likely to own slaves. It sounds like a moral evaluation, and therefore non-encyc. Valetude (talk) 05:58, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Vera King Farris

message: I have not been able to find her date of birth. There is also inconsistency among sources regarding her year of birth. This news article and this obituary indicates she was 71, which would make her year of birth c. 1938. This article refers to her never discussing her age, but indicates she was a member of the Atlantic City High School class of 1954. That would seem to make her year of birth c. 1936. (If 1938 is correct, she would have graduated high school at age 16.) Nevertheless in the article I used 1938 since it was contained in her obituary. Accurizer (talk) 14:26, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Stephen Grellet

message: We show 28 October 1772. So does French WP, which also claims to have his birth certificate as the source, although I can't access it.
But many other places have 2 November 1773, including our very own Wikiquote. I'm not making any changes, as I tend to believe the French WP's version, but I'd like to know how this other date came about. --  Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 21:27, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

message: Grellet may be most notable for the quotation often attributed to him, although it is disputed: "I expect to pass through this world but once. If, therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do any fellow human being let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I will not pass this way again."

Talk:Stephen Heard

message: No mention of slave-owning. I feel that this category should be restricted to people whose slave-owning history was notable in itself. Valetude (talk) 14:11, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Category:American slave owners 

message: I performed a triage edit on this article, but in Virginia lack the resources to clean it up. The Mammy Kate story which I linked in the text a couple of days ago is mentioned in the New Georgia Encyclopedia article listed not in the footnotes but in a "sources" section. That was a lot more professional than the article was a week ago, but really doesn't otherwise address his slaveholding. FYI, supposedly, Heard was of slight stature, and after his capture (on the Kettle Creek battlefield or elsewhere according to various sources) was taken to a Savannah prison by local Tories, and marked to death. Mammy Kate arrived with a large basket of clothing and linens and was allowed to see him. Heard supposedly escaped in the basket on her head, and later freed her. Yesterday, I performed a quick ancestry.com census check and had difficulty locating his census entries (which might include slaveholdings but generally are sketchy before 1820) before the library computer reset (as this personal laptop will do shortly). I was able to confirm that two of his sons owned significant numbers of slaves, especially near Abbeville on the other side of the Savannah River. However, my expertise such as it is is mostly for Virginia people, and I couldn't even confirm whether he was born in Westmoreland or Hanover County, per two contrasting stories of his background. Further cleanup of this article requires access to wills, etc., probably via Family Search which is not available at most libraries nor at the Library of Virginia. I write here because I don't know when or if I'll be able to do such. Frankly, this article originally seemed another case of intentional "forgetting" of people who manumitted slaves, quite the opposite agenda of the person who originally wrote the Clifford Dowdey article that I also edited today while waiting for a pokey windows update to install. That article included a false characterization of him as the "Last Confederate", which I could not find in any of the obituaries when I was able to get to Richmond two months ago, much less the accolades Dowdey received in his lifetime from Virginia governors of both political parties. Dowdey's real problem (and the reason local libraries have culled many of his books) is not an ahistorical agency, but that even his nonfiction books lack footnotes.Jweaver28 (talk) 23:40, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Metatheorem

message: The single example in this article seems atypical from the point of view of mathematical logic. In any case, there are probably many good examples that could be included. --Quux0r 08:29, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Even under Arthur Rubin's conservative view that nothing belongs under the metalogic category, one would have to accept that a metatheorem of logic is a theorem of metalogic. It is appropriately in the category metalogic. Pontiff Greg Bard (talk) 18:59, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, but a "metatheorem" is not (at least necessarily) a "metatheorem of logic".  I still don't think it fits, but I won't fight about it.  — Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 20:03, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Metalogic 

message: Not all metatheorems are theorems "about theorems". For example, the theorem that T = "second-order Peano arithmetic" has only one model is certainly a metatheorem, since this is not provable in T but is a theorem about T provable in the metatheory. But this theorem does not refer in any way to provability in T, so it is not in any sense a theorem "about theorems". — Carl (CBM · talk) 22:39, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Sydenham Edwards

message: Sydenham Edwards was best known for his botanical paintings. To do credit to his work, they need to be thumbnails to the right of the article text - cramming them in a gallery should only be done if there are an abundance of images cluttering the article - that is certainly not the case here. Raasgat 14:23, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If we expand the article, one or two would be good.  The commons page (linked) is ideal for showcasing art, the articles here are text based. That is where the page is lacking, it is woefully short. Given your frank views on other editor's design sense, I am surprised to find you advocating something that forces all that white space. We should explain who he is, why his art is well known &c. and, of couse, give an example of it.  Shall we have a poll on the piece to be included? The South african species you chose are good; the flora was very popular with one target audience of the work - english gardeners - so that is a happy coincidence.  We can explain that too, in the text or caption. Cygnis insignis 15:09, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: In this requested move there is substantial and well-argued support to move Sydney Smith to one of various alternative names that have been proposed.  There is also substantial and well-argued dissent, and I cannot discern a consensus here.—S Marshall T/C 16:47, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: * How do you account for the number of readers coming to "Sydney Smith" because they are actually looking for some other Sydney Smith (or perhaps even a Sidney Smith)? The disambiguation page gets a few hits every day. If we were talking about a page already at "Sydney Smith (cleric)" or "Sydney Smith (wit)", and it was getting those numbers of views, it would be a much clearer case than a page already occupying the base page name, and likely getting erroneous hits. As for the threshold changing in a month, the number of people sharing this name in the encyclopedia is growing, not shrinking, so views are likely to become more diluted rather than less.

replies: text: * Well, you have an imagination, then. The distribution of views for the lower-level ones doesn't look particularly random, and they are no more likely to be the result of a random search than the article proposed to be moved here. BD2412 T 05:34, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

text: But he is wholly un-notable as a "priest" (a term most Anglican clerics of the C19th would have been alarmed by, but never mind).  He is famous as a wit, as the short description accurately says: "Short description|English wit, writer, Anglican cleric (1771–1845)". Antonio Vivaldi was also a priest, to name but one. Johnbod (talk) 15:05, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The terminology for Anglican priests/ministers/clergymen is always a little complex, as different individuals prefer(red) different designations, but that is the name we use for the category and other people in it. I would, however, be happy with "wit", but definitely not with "cleric" (or the equally bad "divine"). -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:49, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  a hotty? 

message: The article was tagged about a year ago with "cleanup", "confusing" and "copy edit" tags. I've done a copy edit just now as part of the September 2012 GOCE drive, but deliberately did as little as possible. This is because it is taken from the 1911 Britannica and, although it is very old-fashioned, it was well-written in the style of the time and I didn't want to spoil that.
That isn't meant to be obstructive. If anyone wanted to get rid of the editorialising and flattery in the article and produce a genuine modern article with citations, that would be great. It's only that while all we have is this uncited little essay, we might as well enjoy it as is until someone produces something better. Hope that's OK. --Stfg (talk) 09:58, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Watson Kirkconnell

message: I really don't understand why these two sentences are important: "After World War II, he wrote a poem about General Dragoljub Mihailovich and how the Communists had him killed on trumped up charges on July 17, 1946. That killing solidified the brutal Communist rule in Yugoslavia for the next four decades which resulted in the ultimate breakup of the artificial, former Communist state." To be perfectly honest, I have not read the above mentioned poem and I do not know whether it is as important as this article suggests - is it Kirkconnell's most famous poem are probably few words that must not be left without few more - but, even if the answer to the question preceding this part of this sentence is positive, I still think that the usage of words such as "brutal" and "artifical" are dangerously threatening the neutral point of view Wikipedia articles strive to achieve.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.157.17.184 (talk) 13:25, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Hara Tanzan

message: The koans sections...  aside from being questionably useful in this article (The jp.wikipedia article does not contain them),   I'm not sure about the references there.   http://www.ashidakim.com provides no sources except as a general group, and links to at least three different pages about management software on the koans page.  A book called Software maintenance management : evaluation and continuous improvement in one link, some company called "mapcon" in another...   so, as a source, it's more The Zen of SEO Spam.  Because of that and the main website's purpose of selling mostly self-published books and videos,  I'm removing it from the references.  The koans I'll leave for now, I'll try to find sources for those somewhere on the web.  So far almost all searches have found self-help / motivational books.  
I can't comment on the source for the "are you still carrying her" koan as there is no English translation or online Japanese text available, and the likelihood of getting a Japanese language Buddhist oriented self-help / motivational book through inter-library  loan is slim to none.
Finally, the reference to Shinbunkaku Co's website title for 美術人名辞典 (which Google is translating as "Art biographical dictionary") doesn't seem to be there anymore.  The references on the Japanese page on Hara Tanzan are potentially more credible (eg ).  None of the sources here seem like they particularly make sense as good sources for the history in the English version (and I have to base this solely on the type of publication since they're mostly in Japanese online / not automatically translatable): 
* 美術人名辞典 / dead link — Art biographical dictionary
* デジタル版 日本人名大辞典+Plus — Digital version Japanese name dictionary + Plus
* 世界大百科事典 第２版 — World Encyclopaedia Second Edition
* Unlabeled source / dead link.  Combing the shop page found it to be 禅学心性実験録／妙智療法秘録 — Zen school cardiac experimental record / Myoji therapy secret / ISBN 978-4-89350-588-0 but does not appear related to Hara Tanzan at first glance.  Also, the ISBN doesn't show up in most searches.  Description on some pages mention work by a professor at the university of Tokyo, but details are sparse. 
* 松村明. デジタル大辞泉. —  Digital Dictionary. by Akira Matsumura
