Talk:Gianello della Torre

message: The article seems to be clear on that he was from Italy, but the article seems confused about his ethnic identity. Was he of full Italian descent or was he an Italian with part Spanish ancestry or was he of full Spanish background but born in Italy? The name Turriano looks like an Italian name but it could have been Italianized or was his mother Spanish and his father Italian?  Can somebody check his background, please?
At this moment, Italy, as nation, didn´t exist. Part of the territories was part of the papal territories or the foraign state as spain. So Turriano was born in a zone of italy that was govern why the spanish monarchy. He was born as an spanish-monarchy subject an was reclamimed to the court  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilncos (talk • contribs) 20:23, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

So not "ALL".

Talk:John Amsden Starkweather

message: :He used his gifts as a photographer and computer pioneer to help educational and conservation organizations, and worked with his wife Jean on projects to preserve Marin County open space. A longtime friend described him as "a founding father" of his local community, having built a home there in 1956 and immediately becoming involved in community affairs. "He was my partner and best friend," says Jean. "He was a wonderful person who did extraordinary things for the community." He volunteered in many programs, led a project to build a low-cost housing development, and worked with the Boy Scouts and the YMCA. San Rafael mayor Al Boro said that Starkweather "truly served his community, and everything he did, he did for the right reason." Boro called him "a gentle person-very bright, very articulate, and lots of fun."

Talk:Gamma ray logging

message: "These elements are used for two reasons, first they have a radioactive half life similar to the age of the earth, so even relatively old material (shale and clay) continue to emit radiation. Second, these three elements are more common in shales than in sand, which means an area with a lower gamma ray count is likely to be a sand."

thread_title:  Labeling Lady Elizabeth "Elizabeth I" Prior To Her Coronation 

message: Interestingly enough, the link to the State Papers has no results when you search of Kat Ashley or Katherine Ashley. Therefore someone reading this article relies on what the article says and since there is a "reputable" source given, they deem it as correct. It would seem that the deposition is not copied word for word and the sentence implies that the Dowager Queen joined in with the tickling and what not. Catherine is not accused of any sexual matter and did not "molest" [which is what the paragraph implies] Elizabeth. This source which uses her deposition.. does not state that the Dowager Queen was in the room when Seymour came in, in the morning. Rather she was still sleeping. Rather in most books Kat Ashley is not even seen as a reputable source either; Elizabeth ended up under the care of Lady Trywhitt while Kat was told by the council that she was unfit to look after Elizabeth.

replies: text: Quite possibly under (then) Zulu law and tradition the king was entitled to condemn anyone to summary execution, especially foreigners? I am not sure, but I rather suspect that was how Dingane and his court looked at it. This fits with the men being taken to Kwa Matiwane Hill, which the article states followed precedent - it sounds fairly ceremonial. I think a case could be made that this was a (summary) execution, although perhaps the more neutral words killing or death would be more appropriate? Babakathy (talk) 10:22, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Before Kitsuno became Oda Nobunaga's concubine, she was first wed to Yaheji Dota who unfortunately perished in the battle of Akechi. After the loss of her husband, Kitsuno returned to her family's home, Ikoma mansion. It was there that she met Oda Nobunaga.
What is this "battle of Akechi" that is denoted? If this could be elaborated to a more explanatory state, I would be appreciative, for the presentation of this article seems to be far too generalized to make any actual sense.

replies: text: This portrait was sold on 24 May 2007 through Lyon & Turnbull in Edinburgh, Scotland. The auction house almost certainly has specialists to determine its legitimacy as they would otherwise be held liable for false advertisement. You can presumably find this portrait in the 1974 biography The Life and Art of George Jamesone by Duncan Thomson, published through the reputable Clarendon Press (Oxford University Press), since this book is cited in the source's description of the painting. – Conservatrix (talk) 01:25, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Perhaps we should note that it is either her or her mother (or unidentified). I was wondering about the coat of arms, whether or not it could have been added later.

The Tate entry is sourced as: The Tate Gallery 1984-86: Illustrated Catalogue of Acquisitions Including Supplement to Catalogue of Acquisitions 1982-84, Tate Gallery, London 1988; 23 years ago.

Talk:Lorenzo Campeggio

message: The succession box currently reads 
 
 
 
 
However, it appears that the Vatican continued to recognize him as Administrator until (or until very close to) his death on 25 July 1539.  The Calendar of State Papers for 31 Henry VIII no 1308 records that on 23 July 1539 'His Holiness gave the administration of the church of Salisbury in England to Gaspar card. Contarini'.  I therefore propose to change the succession box to read that he was succeeded in 1534 by
1. Nicholas Shaxton as Church of England bishop of Salisbury.
2. Himself as Roman Catholic administrator of Salisbury (not recognized by the Crown).
I have used some shorthand to make the box more manageable.
 
 
 
 
There would then be another succession box covering 1534-39, showing Campeggio as preceded by himself and succeeded by Gasparo Contarini.
