Given that it comes directly from a founder, and is pretty recent (like 2007/2008), I am to believe that it is correct. Either way, the founding year should be mentioned and sourced in the body, this is a GA after all. Lordtobi (✉) 07:14, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

If you check Pelit's Google translation and compare it with the Lionhead source, you'll see they they match almost exactly, with the differences typical of a machine translation. In fact, as soon as I saw the Google translation, I knew at once what it must be, and I was right (I once saw a French version of the article in Génération 4.

Talk:Rebecca Hunter

message: I contest the speedy deletion of this article as I feel Rebecca's notability is established for the following reasons :
* Regular character on the flagship soap opera of one of the UK's terrestrial channels (the character had an article long before the actress did!)
* Lead character on BAFTA-winning childrens' sitcom.
* Was member of pop group (allSTARS) who had four top-twenty hits in the UK, including one at #9 (see everyhit.com and search for "allstars")
* Was considered famous enough by the producers of the long-running and popular Never Mind the Buzzcocks to be invited as a panelist.

As such they should go in the part of the article that deals with the comic release itself (doesn't seem to be one).

message: Before I edited this, it was not clear to a non-specialist reader that "North Carolina Speedway" and "Rockingham" were one and the same. There's another Rockingham racetrack - the Rockingham Motor Speedway in England - so I thought that some sort of disambig would be handy. I've had a go, but my attempt may not be perfect as I'm not knowledgeable about NASCAR. I've also made it clear in the intro that this is an American lawsuit - it's always a good idea to mention what country an article is discussing - and I've changed the "Darlington" link so that it just shows the city name, but with the underlying link using "South Carolina" instead of just "SC".

message: Please continue to use this as a general redirect page to the disambiguation. If you create a new article about another Walter Anderson remember that your guy doesn't have priority over any of the others of the same name.

WP:DABNAME is pretty explicit in the "The title of a disambiguation page is the ambiguous term itself, provided there is no primary topic for that term".

Talk:Odo of Bayeux

message: According to Cawley's "Medieval Lands" (http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/BRITTANY.htm#_Toc359762267), `"Comes Eudo et nepos eius Gaufridus, Robertus vicecomes et frater eius Eudo…Guichomarus filius Alani vicecomitis…" witnessed a charter dated to 1050 relating to the abbey of Saint-Georges de Rennes[849].'
"Comes Eudo" is Odo, Count of Penthièvre, double-cousin of Robert I, Duke of Normandy.  From 1040 into the 1050s, Count Odo was Duke Regent of Brittany.  Since there is a distinct lack of matching candidates from Brittany at this time for "Viscount Robert and his brother Odo", they would seem to be the teen-aged half-brothers of Duke William II of Normandy (William the Conqueror), Count Odo's nephew (of a sort).  If this identification of the two witnesses is correct, then this charter predates the elevation of Robert from Viscount to Count of Mortain (variously claimed to be 1049 or 1055) and his brother's appointment as Bishop of Bayeux (said to have been in 1049).
Count Robert of Mortain maintained interests in Brittany and had many Breton tenants in England, whereas Bishop Odo of Bayeux had some canons from Brittany: at least the brothers Thomas (later Thomas I Archbishop of York) and Samson (later Bishop of Worcester), plus, allegedly, a son of Count Odo named Richard.  The brothers may even have had some Breton ancestry, if the assertion made by some authors that they had a sister with the distinctively Breton name "Muriel" is correct.  (Some, e.g. Patricia Stephenson in "New Light on the Bayeux Tapestry", tentatively identify her with the "Poetess Muriel" of Wilton Abbey).  This charter seems to confirm that the brothers personally had an early political connection with Brittany.
Are there scholarly discussions of this charter? Zoetropo (talk) 07:42, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: scholarly discussions of that charter will be hard to hard to come by (just like any other), but still someone may know. Dont hold your breath, good luck.--JoshNEWK1998 (talk) 21:36, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  A Breton Charter of 1050 

message: I'm not editting this into the article as I don't know that these sources are robust enough for wikipedia, but I thought I'd share this.
In various older verions the tabletop game Dungeons & Dragons clerics are prohibited from using 'edged weapons' and must use clubs and maces instead of swords, axes, etc. The in-game explanation is that as devout, religious figures they opposed violence and bloodletting, but made some sort of exception for bashing heads in. The real world inspiration is Odo of Bayeux, who Gary Gygax understood to have a similar religious prohibition against swords and favour for clubs. A weird little legacy for Odo in the 20th & 21st centuries.
