Talk:Virginia and Tennessee Railroad

message: I added a paragraph to this section before taking a hiatus from wikipedia editing to attend to personal business (especially since wikipedia's source editing has become weird these past to days, like not having a box for a section title here when I started by clicking "new section"). I write here because even with this reference I could not add an explicit mention of what I found researching U.S. census records re slaveholdings of several politicians on the route: this created an agricultural market for slaves. Slaveholdings in northwest Virginia decreased as farmers invested capital in machinery, etc. I'm not saying there was no investment in machinery, because clearly the railroad itself was capital investment, but I've seen several census entries for Lynchburg and points south on this route that not only did the slaveholdings grow for various politicians on this route, their slaves in 1860 were not 10 year older versions of the 1850 slaves, as was the case in other mountain or even Piedmont counties. It's been a while since I read a book about Maryland and perhaps Virginia Tidewater planters changing their "crop" mix to exporting humans as tobacco depleted the soils. Perhaps I'll be able to find a more explicit reference to Lynchburg's growth as a slavetrading center when local history collections open again. Else someone else can do the original research.

message: Re this sentence: The song is representative of French's many works concerning the Irish diaspora in both its subject matter and its maudlin and somewhat priggish tone, especially when compared with his many comic songs.
It seems to me a bit harsh to call the song maudlin and priggish.  The song is more than a century old and it is sentimental, but there is also a fair bit of humour in it.
In any case, if the article includes value judgements about the song, shouldn't the article provide "sources" for these opinions?

Talk:FV430 series

message: What exactly is meant by the addition of: "... as US forces seem to be able to recognise them as being friendly."
 to the tail end of this section?  It suggests that the positive reaction to the FV430 Mk3 is not due to any added capabilities or technical advancements.  Rather, it suggests that the positive reaction is due solely to the reduced likelihood of being attacked by trigger-happy U.S. forces who are, otherwise, prone to shooting anything that isn't overtly 'friendly'.

Talk:Edgar-class cruiser

message: I'd like to see another source referenced for the number and size of torpedo tubes on this ship.   I have two primary sources offering differing data, perhaps due to their disparate dates:  1891 Annual Report of the Torpedo School indicates that they had two 14-in overhead, dirigible tubes, which would have been above water.  The Torpedo Manual 1909 Volume 3 says this class had two 18-in submerged broadside tubes forward.  My guess is that the 14-in tubes were obsoleted at some point or failed to prove reliable, but for 18-in tubes I think the nature of the Torpedo Manual is such that it suggests it is correct.

* The University was founded in 1973 but the city in which it resides was founded in 1987. Did it move? I heard it did but others might leave this article thinking it was originally built in Tsukuba city.
* Leo Esaki is listed as an alumni yet that article claims he is a graduate of University of Tokyo. Which is it? And does having been president qualify for being an alumnus?
* While I have no reason to doubt it it would be nice to cite a reference that supports Tsukubadai being a prestigious university. Considering its location I know it has no problems in finding well qualified staff.

Talk:Sonnet 19

message: I've copied the following note from my user talk:
 I think there's very little to disagree with in your statement, but what there is, I find decisive. So I'd better explain. The state of the 154 Sonnet texts, as presented in their Wikipedia articles before and after my work in 2016, is detailed in my notes at Sonnet Uniformity Act §Text. TL;DR is: "All Wikipedia's Sonnet texts now (March 2016) come from one cited public domain modernized scholarly critical edition." Is Pooler the best text of the Sonnets? Absolutely not. Is it the best text for the purposes to which I've put it in Wikipedia? Yeah, I think it's the best source that checked all those italicized boxes. So that is the reason I chose, and wish to preserve, this particular text.
Furthermore, your characterization of "fleets" as a "printing error" is not correct. Kerrigan himself says, "Editors often emend [fleet'st], the Q reading, to "fleets", for the sake of a rhyme with sweets." (Kerrigan 1995: 198) Clearly, he disagrees with this choice, but acknowledges it as an editorial decision, not a printing error. Indeed, Pooler explicitly defends "fleets" as "not ungrammatical" and gives analogues from the First Folio. (Pooler 1918: 22)
That there are scholarly disagreements over the best readings will often be good reason for including a discussion of variants in the articles, but for the reasons I've given above, I don't think it's sufficient reason to discard Pooler (until, that is, a better edition falls into the public domain and some poor drudge has the energy to replace all 154 Wikipedia Sonnet texts), and it certainly wouldn't justify the alteration of a cited quotation.
