Talk:Nicolaas Hartsoeker

message: While I do not necessarily doubt the article currently stating that it was not Nicolaas who stated that he would believe in the theory, there is still the issue that the drawing is attributed to him. So how can it then be explained? Did he just make some picture from his imagination? (I mean, obviously he must have done so because he could not have seen anything anyway). The article right now (2017) is not really very... logical in my opinion. Older textbooks would state that the theory of preformation came from Hartsoeker - now the article states that Hartsoeker made use of an earlier theory. In this case, that should be made more clearly IF it is correct. 2A02:8388:1641:4700:BE5F:F4FF:FECD:7CB2 (talk) 19:02, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Kenneth Hill (ref 4) quotes Joseph Needhams A History of Embryology (Cambridge University Press 1959): "Hartsoeker's drawing ... represented not what he had seen himself, but what he supposed spermatozoa would look like if they could be seen sufficiently clearly." So, yes, he admitted to "make some picture from his imagination", which caught everybody else's imagination since. According to Hill, a young scientist named Plantade alias Delenpatius was the only one who had reported seeing homonculi, and he did that as a practical joke. Apparently not in on the joke, in 1699 Van Leeuwenhoek attacked Delenpatius' drawings as "imaginery" and said he had not seen anything like that in "a hundred" examinations of sperm. Ironically, those drawings were then connected to Leeuwenhoek, and a myth arose that he himself had seen homunculi. Preformationism is at least 70 years older than Hartsoeker's drawing. In 1625, Giuseppe degli Aromatari (1587–1660) may have been the first to use the term, suggesting that an organism could be "preformed" before conception and only had to develop. Feel free to tweak if you think that is not conveyed well enough in the text. Afasmit (talk) 08:55, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Talk:1859 United Kingdom general election in Ireland

message: I've more or less totally re-written the introduction because it was a mixture of unverified opinion and assertions contradicted by the data:
+ "The win was a result of a restricted electoral franchise which saw voting restricted to the middle and upper classes, who were disproportionately supportive of the Conservative Party in Ireland."  This may be true but it needs a reference, as it implies there is some way we know how poorer people in 1859 would have voted.  Much more obviously true from the election results is that the Conservatives' victory relied quite largely on unopposed candidates.
+ "Electoral reform in subsequent decades saw a sharp decline in Tory fortunes in Ireland, with new voters, who had not been Tory supporters anyhow, supporting first of all the Liberal Party, notably in the 1868 general election in Ireland..."  This is more or less the opposite of the truth.  In no subsequent election did the Liberals get such a high share of the vote as they had in 1859.  On the other hand, in each of the following four elections the Conservatives had a higher vote share than they did in the 1859 election.  86.162.116.210 (talk) 15:55, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Talk:1932 Irish general election

message: From the Wikipedia article on Patrick J. Reynolds, Fine Gael TD for Roscommon 1961-69 and for Roscommon-Leitrim 1973-77:
"Reynolds was born in Killellan, County Leitrim in 1920. His father Patrick Reynolds was elected as a Cumann na nGaedheal Teachta Dála (TD) for Leitrim–Sligo at the September 1927 general election, but was fatally shot during the 1932 general election campaign. The election was postponed, and his mother Mary won the seat, serving the Dáil for 29 years.[2]"
Assuming the writer or the source is not mistaken, I'm a little surprised to see no mention of the postponement in this article. Would those with specialist knowledge care to comment? Harfarhs (talk) 22:46, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Election allegedly postponed? 

message: The article says that the above party stood and got 1,087 votes.  Revolutionary Workers' Groups says that their candidates were James Larkin Jnr and Joseph Troy. The former's article says that he stood in Dublin South as an Independent. Dublin_South_(D%C3%A1il_%C3%89ireann_constituency)#1932_general_election says the same, and records him as receiving 917 votes. Dublin_North_(D%C3%A1il_%C3%89ireann_constituency)#1932_general_election says that Troy stood as an Independent and received 170 votes. 917 + 170 = 1087. The RWG article also says that "The RWG was officially banned by the Cosgrave government in 1931". Elections Ireland - Dublin South and Elections Ireland - Dublin North both show them as Independents. I propose to delete the reference to RWG on this page and increase the number of votes for Independents by 1087.

Virtually all the buildings that were also mentioned in this article that were built during this period were built by Poles. So-called Magdeburg law was brought there from polish people...

Talk:Sokoke scops owl

message: The article states:
:The greatest population of this species of owl is in the Cynometra-Manilkara forest, which is less than one-third of the Sokoke Forest. It is also found in the Afzelia-Cynometra forest.
I find this confusing, as "Cynometra-Manilkara forest" doesn't seem to be a particular forest, but rather a type of forest. (See http://cca.kws.go.ke/Arabuko.html for example.) Rather than describing a place, I think this is describing what parts of the Sokoke Forest the owls inhabit (i.e. the parts populated by Cynometra, Manilkara, and Afzelia). I suspect that the sources have been misinterpreted here. Pburka (talk) 13:55, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: I tried to follow the discussion that has driven to the current choice to redirect the page Niccolo Fiorentino to Nikola Firentinac.
It took me a good hour. I must confess I do not understand why someone should not be called with his/her native name.
Of course there are exceptions, e.g. if someone obtained glory and fame in another country or if got completely educated in another country of if took the himself/herself the decision to change name.
We are not in such circumstances. Niccolo Fiorentino bord in Tuscany and worked in Dalmatia, at a time when Dalmatia was part of the Republic of Venice. Many centuries later the borders of that part of the world changed. Is this a reason to change the name of someone?
IMHO the page should be directed to the native name and in the article reported the Croatian equivalent.
Also at it is today the article makes no sense. The name of the article is "Nikola Firentinac" to please someone but after in the article we call him "Niccolo'"... this is a no-sense.

Talk:1997 Irish general election

message: The first paragraph in the Overview section is plain wrong:
*The 1997 general election saw the public offered a choice of two possible coalitions. The existing government coalition of Fine Gael, the Labour Party and Democratic Left...[or] a coalition of Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats.
As at any general election, the "public" [recte electorate] had multitude of choices. One of the least likely outcomes was a Fine Gael single party government, but a continuation of the three-party government was barely more likely; if the swing had gone to Fine Gael and Labour, a two-party coalition was far more likely. A Fianna Fáil majority government was theoretically possible, likewise a Fianna Fáil minority government. Depending on the election results, there might also have been a Fianna Fáil-Labour coalition, as there was in 1992, or a Fianna Fáil-Green Coalition, as there was after 2009.
