This link currently points to :Upton Park - that remains the current location of West Ham FC! Upton House, where this chap had his botanical gardens became :West Ham Park.

replies: text: The information applies to other liturgical texts as well as Adeste Fideles, and gives a significant insight into Wade's commitment to Jacobitism.

Talk:John Hardin

message: The reference to John Hardin being one of the first judges in Washington County Virginia is unlikely.  Summers Annals, which coverts the area comprehensively from 1769 to 1800 identifies no records for anyone with the surname "Hardin",  He does identify several records for a "John Harding" (a variant of "Hardin") but these were for land transactions in Montgomery County.

thread_title:  Working Hours 

message: I don't understand why the article is titled Francisco Pi y Margall, and then begins Francesc Pi y Margall. Moreover, if the given name is to be in Spanish, then his surname should be without the y (i.e. Pi y Margall), given that the y is not usual in Spanish.
However, if it is to be in Catalan, then the convention for Catalan surnames indicates it should be Pi i Margall. Either it should be in one language or the other. In any case, in my opinion, given he was Catalan, his name should stand as Francesc Pi i Margall.
If there is no opposition, I shall make the appropriate corrections.

message: Economic union is a misleading link, probably the result of a mistranslation. Actually meant is the "Wirtschaftliche Vereinigung" ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirtschaftliche_Vereinigung_%28Deutsches_Kaiserreich%29 ), which would be better translated as "commercial association". The WV was a common parliamentary group of different antisemitic and peasent partys. It's members favored protectionism, agriculture and craftsmen and opposed free trade and capitalism. Because it was only a parliamentary group (e.g. some members of the Farmers' League belonged to it, others did not), it should not be used as a term in an election content, but split in Antisemitic (2,5%) and Peasant Partys (1,9%).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hilarus von Baerenstein (talk • contribs) 11:29, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
