Talk:Eildon Hill

message: I propose to change the following sentence, which is inaccurate:
While evidence was not found of a significant population in the immediate pre-Roman period, the Roman geographer Ptolemy recorded the tribe in the area as the Selgovae, and Eildon hill was later thought to have been their capital.
to this:
Evidence has not been found of a significant population in the immediate pre-Roman period. It was once thought that this Trimontium might be the Trimontium of the Selgovae that was mentioned by the geographer Ptolemy, but it was later learned that this information had been based on false information, and no defensible arguement now exists to place the Selgovae or their town in this area.
A look at Ptolemy's map shows the Selgovae in Nithsdale, Annandale, and Eskdale — he never recorded the tribe in this area as the Selgovae. That was done by General William Roy (of Ordnance Survey fame): a forgery of 1757 was thought to be genuine by virtually everyone (including Roy), and it was then the most authoritative source of information on ancient Scotland. The forgery contained "iters" (akin to the genuine Antonine Itinerary), and Roy tried to follow them. Naturally, he could not do so, as he was unwittingly following a fictional account. Believing the fictional account to be valid, he "adjusted" the information in Ptolemy's map and moved the Selgovae to this Trimontium. The fictional account was not debunked until 1845, and continued to be cited for another 50 years after that; even yet, its false information about the Selgovae (and other peoples) has not been rooted out of histories.
Unfortunately, this inaccurate information is still floating around. Notwithstanding the fact that Roy was acting in good faith, we now have the only genuine historical evidence (Ptolemy) discarded in favor of an "adjustment" to evidence that is known to be fictional.
Any comments before I make the change? Regards, Notuncurious (talk) 03:25, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

message: As the current article says, these Hills are usually referred to as the "Eildons" or the "Eildon Hills". 
Having lived close to these hills for almost twenty years I have never heard them called "Eildon Hill".
The only reference to the singular "Eildon Hill" that I've come across occasionally has been to a mythical single hill supposedly back in the times of King Arther and Merlin!
I propose that the article be renamed to "Eildon Hills" and the text adjusted accordingly. Nigel Campbell (talk) 13:59, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

"In 1973, several episodes of the series were compiled together as an overseas theatrical release entitled Call Me By My Rightful Name."
This film completed in 1971 did star Don Murray and Otis Young, but it as an adaption from a 1961 off-Broadway play about biracial roommates and their common love interest. This movie is not a western, nor does it have anything in common with "The Outcasts" other than the two star actors.

Talk:Shane (American TV series)

message: I have a BIG issue with this sentence: "The series was created by Herschel Daugherty and Gary Nelson."
First off, where does this come from?? To the best of my knowledge, Daugherty and Nelson were *directors*, not writers. I just double-checked on IMDb, to be sure, and sure enough, neither of them has any writing to their credit on there, at all.
Now granted, sometimes the creator of a show is not necessarily a writer (Philip D'Antoni comes to mind, who co-created Movin' on) but they typically are producers, if not writers, and this is really really rare.
So, since I had TV Land recordings of the show under hand, I went through the episodes to see what was what. As far as I can tell, Daugherty and Nelson's involvement with the show was limited to shooting one episode each (1x03 for the former and 1x04 for the latter).
The credits, unfortunately, do not ever mention the show's creator(s). However, I am pretty certain the two aforementioned directors had nothing to do with it.
If we had to guess as to the identity of the show's creator, I think the most likely suspect would be David Shaw, who served as executive producer on the entire series. Why? Because, aside from a couple other episodes, he happened to write the very first one.
The mention of Daugherty & Nelson as creators, in any case, should be removed. Which I will do if no solid proof to the contrary is provided. Desdenova (talk) 00:13, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

I've yet to see an explanation as to why the prop designer chose a Model 1892 Winchester as the base for the Mare's Leg when a Model 1973 would have been more correct for the period. Other shows tended to play fast and loose with period details; I remember an episode of The High Chaparral, set during the same time period, in which a shiny new gun resembling a Henry or a full-length rifle caliber Winchester was claimed to be a "spanking new" Spencer rifle, which bears no resemblance to either of the guns I named and which was produced in the 1860s. 2603:9001:4500:1C09:D2A:CD0A:1659:E354 (talk) 12:34, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: So why did you change the location to Kansas? The Kansas Territory was south of the Nebraska Territory, and no matter what it says on the DVD cover (and certain web sites quoting the DVD cover), Sweetwater Station was not in Kansas. At the time of the Pony Express, it was in the Nebraska Territory, and it is now part of Wyoming. Also, as far as I can remember, Sweetwater being in the Nebraska Territory is clearly mentioned several times on the show. SummertimeRain (talk) 09:32, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A reliable source says the series says Kansas. Until I can check the DVD itself (not for a couple more weeks), we have to go with what the reliable sources say, unless an equally reliable one says other wise.  It may change later. There are dozens upon dozens of articles on The Young Riders from 1989-1991. I've requested copies of six from my university library so far (didn't want to overwhelm them), and have a bunch more book marked for future requests. Silly papers and their desire to charge to get articles. One or more of those will likely clarify the location, as well as provide a ton of info on production and the selection of the cast. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 09:57, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
