thread_title:  44806 is back 

message: The photographs we're kept seperate from the notes section, for a reason. Having the photograph positioned above the notes makes it even bigger than it's supposed to be, having the photographs in a seperate box and the notes in a seperate box makes it easier for people to understand also. Plus it makes no sense having photographs in a box which isn't related, they are better in a seperate box than mixed up as 44806 has a large number of notes in it presently and you having the photograph above these notes makes it even bigger than it's supposed to be.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.53.153 (talk) 00:06, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

However, as none of our volunteers have found time to do anything about the last request over a year ago, I wouldn't hold your breath with this one. Of course there is important Viking history to be added here, but if you want it I would suggest you get involved in writing it. A note of caution on scope: the source you provide seems to deal mainly with the Wirral Peninsula which is part of Cheshire, and the original poster mentions Pen y Ghent which is of course in Yorkshire.

thread_title:  Jerusalem, the Golden 

message: As John Balnaves has pointed out, "Since [Bernard of Morlaix/Morlas] was quite certainly a Cluniac monk, Bernard has frequently been called Bernard of Cluny (Bernardus Cluniacensis). [...] [T]he text of the prologue of the De contemptu mundi suggests that Bernard, at the time he wrote the De contemptu mundi, was not a monk at Cluny itself, but at Nogent.  There is another reason why the appellation 'Bernard of Cluny' is not helpful. At least two other Cluniac monks who lived at about the same time are styled Bernard of Cluny. One was prior of Cluny while Peter the Venerable was abbot [in the mid 1100s].  Another was the author of Consuetudines Cluniacenses, which the New Catholic encyclopedia attributes to the author of De contemptu mundi, though the date of compilation of the Consuetudines [1060-1090] makes that attribution unlikely.  The problem of names is evident from entries in Medioevo latino, where there is some confusion between various Bernards, but where the style 'Bernardus Morlanensis, Cluniacensis monachus' seems now to be established for the author of De contemptu mundi.  The latest edition of Buchwald lists him as Bernard de Morlaix."  (Balnaves, F. John. Bernard of Morlaix: The Literature of Complaint. Canberra: Australian National University, 1997)
The Wikipedia article should be renamed "Bernard of Morlaix".  Balnaves's comment should be included to clarify the identity of the subject.  And the paragraph discussing Consuetudines cenobii Cluniacensis should be entirely dropped.

thread_title:  External links 

message: "...Any radio communications with Surveyor 1 required a "line-of-sight" from its location to the Earth, and this is not available during the lunar nights..."
Surveyor 1 landed in the Ocean of Storms. The Earth is permanently visible in the sky from there. That's true whether or not the Sun is shining on that part of the surface. So line-of-sight to the Earth is never a problem from the Ocean of Storms. As the Earth rotates, different receiving stations can gain or lose line-of-sight. But the lunar lighting conditions don't affect line-of-sight.
The subsequent comment about the need for sunlight to power the solar cells for communication is correct.
IMO, the quoted sentence should be dropped.

If our text matches "various editions and dates" of OEB (as it matches EBU), then one of those two must be the source for its wording, and all should be quoted (unlikely) or rewritten. But EBU may be copied from us, cobbled together from material in OEB and poorly attributed.
