Talk:John Coggeshall

message: An unnamed editor has given Coggeshall the title of "Sir" in this article, and has also given his wife the maiden name of Gould.  I have reverted these edits back to where they were originally, with the following reasoning.  There is no history of Rhode Island that I've seen (for example those written by Peterson, Arnold, and Bicknell) that give Coggeshall, or any other Rhode Island magistrate, the title of Sir.  This title might be offered to someone who was knighted in England, but in my reading I've seen no evidence that Coggeshall was ever knighted before coming to New England.  While the title of Sir might be appropriate to some of the governors of Massachusetts, who were royal appointees, this title is really not appropriate to any of the Rhode Island magistrates, except for Sir Edmond Andros, who was the only governor of Rhode Island ever appointed by the crown.
As to the maiden name of Coggeshall's wife, Mary, there is no evidence that the name was Gould, even though that might be stated in some obscure text somewhere.  Several excellent and thorough genealogists have commented on this, viz:  Austin did not give a maiden name for her in his 1887 Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island; Moriarity, in commenting on Coggeshall in The American Genealogist in the 1940s does not offer a maiden name for her; and as recently as 1999, Anderson and his editors in commencing the Great Migration Project reviewed the evidence, and concluded that her maiden name remains unknown.  It is far better, in the name of scholarly research, to leave the maiden name as unknown.  Back in 1932 when Roscoe Whitman published his genealogy of the descendants of Stukeley Westcott, he gave Stukeley the wrong wife, and had to go back and write an entire new book, primarily to correct his faux pas.  It is best to leave it blank.Sarnold17 (talk) 18:29, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Pramod P. Khargonekar

message: Please check recent discussions at AfD-- Full professors at major universities are almost always found notable there--they invariably have published much work recognized as notable by their peers. You may disagree, but such has been the consensus--I can not recall one deletion in the last 8 months.
In any case, according to WP:CSD, speedy is for articles with no claim to notability, and any bona-fide claim is sufficient--saying one is a professor anywhere is such a claim-  If you think the claims to notability insufficient, and the article has been abandoned, then WP:Prod is the way to go. If you think it will be defended, then WP:AFD. 
But Pramod Khargonekar has a Named Chair in a major university, and is head of a major school there. He is exceedingly unlikely to be considered non-notable. DGG (talk) 18:50, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:William Christian (Manx)

message: Ok.  This builds out of discussions from my talk page and Manxy3's talk page....
So we have three people that meet the page name, and are talking about making this one a disambig for the three.  According to Manxy3, we have: "1. Illiam Dhone 2. Reverand William Christian CP JP BA - a member of the LegCo from 1883 to 1887 3. William Watson Christian CP JP - a member of the LegCo from 1848 to 1867."
One thing that is going to be a problem, long term.  Pages for the 2nd and 3rd one really need sourcing for them.  You say you have no further info on the other two.  But really, for includsion on the project, sourcing is really required.  Stubs can be created with minimal information, but without any sourcing at all, they are subject to deletion at any time.
I also do not necessarily agree that they are notable just because they were on the council.  From reading the Council's page, I would assume that they are like the US House or senate.  But if you go back historically, not every US Senator and Congressman has a page on the project.  A quick check of United States Congressional Delegations from Texas, as a sample, shows many, many red links on the page, some even up through the 1980s.  So notability is still a concern.
If the only information you hace on these two is their names and dates on the council, IMHO you might be better off placing them on a list somewhere on the project of such members. - TexasAndroid 19:50, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:John Ernle

message: Support. The base article here was about the John Ernle of 1620-1697, and this edit was where things began to go so badly wrong. Each of the other John Ernle(y)s needs his own page, as Sir John Ernley (1464–1520) already has. I suggest restoring this article to its original subject, creating John Ernle (disambiguation) and adding hatnotes to there. Moonraker2 (talk) 15:55, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: John Ernle of 1620-1697 is clearly the most important. If there are just 2 others, John Ernley and John Ernle (Royal Navy officer) (?) perhaps just 2 hatnotes will suffice and not bother with John Ernle (disambiguation)? Tassedethe (talk) 17:48, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:John George I, Elector of Saxony

message: I'm a Wikipedia user, not an active editor, but I'm bemused by the naming of this article, with the Anglicized "John George" instead of Johann Georg (and the same goes for the other Germans at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_George). According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_%28royalty_and_nobility%29#Sovereigns, "Monarch's first name should be the most common form used in current English works of general reference. Where this cannot be determined, use the conventional anglicized form of the name, as Henry above." Maybe when these articles were written English convention was difficult to determine, but I'm holding four books and several articles here that use "Johann Georg," and a hasty search of Google Books for "John George elector" yields only results from over 100 years ago and compilations of Wikipedia articles. What gives? (Edit: I notice "Johann Georg" is even used in the body of the article at a couple of points.) AbdiViklas (talk) 20:34, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

I would hazzard a guess at John Berkeley, 1st Baron Berkeley of Stratton but I didn't want to link it as I couldn't find info to back this up.--Alf melmac 07:57, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes.  I remember being frustrated by DNB's silence.  This is one of those entries in the 2004 that had been glossied-up but not improved from 1898, and that stuff is dripping with "Lord X scandalously alleged to have been with Lady Y."  When I was writing this, I went to go find out about "Berkeley" (there are a few), and I remember finding out which one and which person was alluded to, but, actually, I had found this Bargany bio to be so dull that I didn't follow up.  After the break, I'll see if I can find out.  (My recollection is that this was in the window between Nellie and Portsmouth, that, when Charles II cooled on Nell, there was a rush to be the courtier who supplied a mistress, but Berkeley's idea was a poor one, as Charles II had made up his own mind and wasn't going to owe his love life to a peer.)  Geogre (talk) 13:12, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: (My point being that Charles was really, really clever. Whereas with Louis XIV, there was a deal of pandering to the crown and gaining preferment that way, Charles would have none of that.  Whereas with his own grandfather, and possibly his father, there had been some thrusting forward of "froward" lasses and lads, Charles knew about it and would have nothing to do with it (as such things lead to enormous troubles for his father and grandfather).  Given the fact that English girls were capable of putting themselves in his way all on their own and that he had an active eye and wide circuit, he didn't need and wouldn't accept all that attempting to "place" a mistress on him.  Probably the cleverest monarch for the English since Elizabeth and until George III.)  Geogre (talk) 14:51, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Could it be the trip made by the Ivor and Jean to France and Bavaria in 1932 was his first, and the story of the boy in Europe was an error which gained credence by repetition? I have found no newspaper mention of his absence in 1927 or 1928, which should have been newsworthy. This article says that on his return he was master of a life class at the School of Arts and Crafts, again no mention in 1927 or 1928. The first newspaper mention I can find of him running a life class was in 1937. And the chap in the photograph does not look like a 15-year-old. Not enough to falsify the claim, but suggestive.
