Talk:Walter Aubrey Thomas

message: The following has been removed from the article as, although it might well be accurate, it is unreferenced. If a reliable source can be found for it, please reinstate it, with appropriate citations.
"Walter Aubrey Thomas was born in 1859 at Tranmere, Birkenhead. He was the son of Humphrey Glegge Thomas who listed as an architect and engineer.
As a young man, W A Thomas served his articles with the very well known architect at that time in Liverpool, Frank Doyle. 
In 1886, W A Thomas married Maud Paris. Her family were said to be of Greek extraction. Together, they had seven children: Walter Glegge, who died in 1907 at the age of 21. Louise (Lulu), followed by Dorrit, Winifred (Winsome), Edward (Bill), Oliver and Humphrey. Despite all of his commitments, W A Thomas appears to have been a good father. The boys were educated by home tutors and the girls were sent to Cheltenham Ladies College. The family home, designed by their father, was called Bleak House - now Brooke House - at Parkgate. Late, another house was built for them at Dunstan Wood. Sadly, toward the end of his life W A Thomas had to move to a small bungalow in Neston where he remained for the rest of his life. He died on the 13th September 1934.
Although he was celebrated for his work, he shunned publicity. After the Liver Building was completed he was offered a knighthood, which he declined. the lack of literature about him seems to confirm that he was a modest man who avoided publicity, despite his success as an architect and businessman. However, he appears to have lost the fortune he had previously gained in the great "Crash" of 1929. There is no reason to believe that he went bankrupt and the only explanation for this change of fortune must ascribe itself to this financial catastrophe, which rendered so many penniless.
His interests in life were: The works of Charles Dickens. He went to the great lengths of naming some of his children after the well known characters ; Dorrit, Oliver and Humphrey (although the latter was also a family name). He even called the house built at Parkgate, "Bleak House." Fishing was also a favourite pastime. He built a fishing lodge in North Wales, where he spent much of his time fishing in the river, which runs through the property at Pont-y-Gwyddel in the Welsh countryside, which he was so fond of. The lodge still stands there today. It was most likely constructed at the beginning of the nineteenth century according to its style and it is built of wood. 
His great passion was gardening. In earlier days when he was very active and productive in his profession, he would return home and spend time digging and tending his garden."

Category talk:Welsh architects

message: How are we defining 'Welsh'? Does this include architects that have a strong connection with Wales but born elsewhere? For example, John Nash (currently described as 'British') was born in London but carried out a lot of work in Wales; Percy Thomas was born in northeast England but the practice he set up was based in Cardiff. Whether people identify themselves as 'Welsh' or not has been a contentious debate on a number of other biographical articles and often the least contentious solution is to describe them as British.

Talk:Solange of Bourges

message: Having just repointed 20 incoming links to Solange Knowles and seeing that there are still many more under "What links here", I think a strong case can be made that the saint is no longer the clear primary topic for this name. This seems to be a similar case to Madonna, where a much older established name has been effectively usurped by a contemporary entertainer. Would anyone have objections to moving this article to Solange (saint) and then moving Solange (disambiguation) here? Nick Number (talk) 17:27, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Saint Faith

message: The allegorical embodiment of Christian faith, Sainte Foi needs to be trace starting with cultus and hagiography, not by attaching a "biography" at the start. This is an important saint for popular Christianity in the eleventh century— so much for tagging her importance as "low"— but the article doesn't begin to get into it. I added a couple of links to editions and links to some ideas like hagiography. --Wetman (talk) 09:18, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Saint Kyriaki

message: I think this is the only example of an Orthodox saint's wikipedia entry labelled "****(martyr)". I realise there is a disambiguation page for Agios Kyriaki, but it still seems a little odd to have it this way around, that the saint after which the villages were named should be labelled this way. I'm not the fountain of knowledge on this subject, but is there a good reason why this page isn't Agios Kyriaki or St.Kyriaki, and the villages/ island aren't Agios Kyriaki(island) or (village)? I'm not going to change it, without hearing other views though.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.38.11.86 (talk) 10:27, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Dominic Loricatus

message: It says he recited the entire psalter 20 times in one week, accompanying each psalm with 100 lashes. There are 150 psalms * 20 times = 3000 psalms read. 3000 psalms * 100 lashes = 300,000 lashes. There are 604,800 seconds in a week. If he never slept, and managed a whip strike every two seconds, this is barely possible. Or if it was in 6 days, 518,400. More than a lash per second. Not minute. There are 1,440 minutes a day, 86,400 seconds.

Stop giving made up data. This is not the only case! Or do you want to say that if someone comes up with an unbased data, without a source, you will run to publish it?

message: I have moved the article back to Victorinus of Pettau from Victorinus of Ptuj.

A Google comparison prefers "of Pettau" (427) to "of Ptuj" (27, all WP links or mirrors). A comparison of Google Books is more telling- "of Pettau" (310) compared to "of Ptuj" (1).

Talk:Vincent Pallotti

message: I am disappointed with the tameness of the Biographies especially on the difficulties that Vincent had at the beginning of the Society.  It does appear that his 'Society of the Catholic Apostolate' was suppressed. It offended some of the sensibilities of Roman society.  The Decree of Supression fell into disuse when the Pope was enlightened as to the good work done by the society.  However, as soon as Vincent died in 1850 there was more trouble and presumably the original Decree of supression was unearthed.  When Vincent's last defender Cardinal Lambruscini died in 1854, the name of the Society was abruptly changed to  "The Pious Society of Missions".   This lasted ut to the 1947 when "by a gracious act of the Holy See" the original name of the society was restored.
Jansenism  Dr. Gaynor seems to think that Vincent's enemies included Jansenists.    The spirit of Jansenism lingered on well beyond the 1850s.  The final condemnation of Jansenism was by St. Pius X (1903 to 1914).
