Talk:Jack Broughton

message: Jack Broughton (1704-89) was the famous pugilist. Much has been written about his career but nothing was known about his parents or childhood. Only the relations mentioned in his will and the details from his burial provide clues to his ancestry. My own family believed that we were related to Jack. After much effort I came the conclusion that we are not related although our paths crossed closely in Holborn, London.
Jack’s early life proved a great surprise. He was descended from a long line of clergymen originating in Arksey near Doncaster. There were many Broughtons in this area so this is likely to be the origin of his family. Jack and his elder brother Thomas (1704-74) went to Eton (1717-20 and 1716-20 respectively). However, this privileged start was not to last. His father John (1673-1720) died and their uncle became guardian. Thomas continued his education and became yet another clergyman. Jack and his younger brother William (1711-88?) were apprenticed off to a Thames Waterman (1723 and 1722 respectively). Jack got into fights and so began his career becoming the Champion of England. Jack lived to a ripe old age, and this combined with his brutal career, probably meant that he gradually lost touch with his family and so lead to the mystery surrounding his birth and parents.
Jack’s relatives mentioned in the will were:
Catherine Monk: great niece probably Katherine Broughton of William and Sarah Curtis baptised 30 March 1761 St Martin in the Fields. William (1732-88) was the son of William (1711-88?).
George Roberts who contested Jack’s unsigned will. He was probably the grandson of Jack’s sister Lydia Broughton (b 1708).
Elizabeth Graham (b after 1768). She was probably the granddaughter of Frances Broughton (b 1699) and Jonathon Graham. I do not know how Frances and Jack Broughton were related.

*Reinstate Snow White (disambiguation) and link here for all other definitions
From my point of view the first option is the intuitive and uncomplicated one. I'm gonna go with that unless there are other opinions?

Talk:Liriope (plant)

message: Is Lilyturf really the common name for Liriope? I've never come across the name in British English or in my life, till I came across Wikipedia. And I have grown, bought, and planted the thing in bulk many times. While we cannot put that much faith in google searches, Liriope turns up many more results. It is also more specific, the term lilyturf seems to be applied to Ophiopogon as well. 
I therefore propose that this article be renamed to Liriope.

thread_title:  Translation into Chinese Wikipedia 

message: While somewhat interesting, the section on pronunciation is not really appropriate to a botanical entry. The standard for pronouncing Latin names is pretty well established - it should be close to modern Italian. There is a system called 'reformed academic' for Latin as a language, but for botanical Latin Stearn, Botanical Latin, Chapter 4, is the usual authority. The mispronunciations of Georgia gardeners might be interesting, but not relevant! To set the record straight, the pronunciation assigned in this article to British gardeners is the correct one, and would be used universally by botanists.
I suggest this section be removed, (or its equivalent added to every other botanical entry!)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB1D:2E:3500:40B6:629E:C800:7659 (talk) 17:22, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

message: I don't profess to be a hip-hop expert, but what knowledge I have of current popular music is that the initials DTP are used in a number of current American hip-hop songs by members of the group to refer to that group.

thread_title: Missing information

message: The article currently states:
:... a bistable device can enter into a state that is neither true nor false and has a positive probability that it will remain indefinite for any given period of time, albeit with exponentially decreasing probability over time.
but this seems dubious to me. It makes as a base assumption that the decay is exponential. Yes, the exponential has infinite support (mathematics) so if its actually exponential, then the statement is true.  But exponential assumes that the equation describing the system is a simple first order ODE; for more complex PDE's, its not obvious that the solution wouldn't have finite support (i.e. the probability shrinks to exactly zero in finite time.) Examples of such equations are things that have a topological soliton, e.g. the KdV equation, but also e.g. things with lax pairs, etc. (basically, you need to cook up a diff eq that has a textbook bump function as a solution, and bingo, indeterminism is bounded, right?) I'm objecting to the idea that the indeterminism is necessarily unbounded; it is not obviously so.  67.198.37.16 (talk) 07:50, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you're mistaken.  First, the response doesn't need to be exponential for the probability of still being indeterminate after a time to be exponential.  You can get this with a system of any order, or a PDE, that has a metastable point in its state space.  If it's possible to cook up equations that don't behave this way, I don't understand how.

Alas, the same sources give the date of birth for this lady's second daughter as 1911, sufficient cause to raise doubt on the whole story. Even if true, there is no record of a marriage or contract having taken place between the Nawab and Fatima Bai. Equally, no record exists of the Nawab having recognised any of her children as his own, a prerequisite for legal paternity in Muslim family law.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jack User (talk • contribs) 22:16, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
