Talk:Quarterly Review

message: The magazine was revived in 2007. According to their website, "The Quarterly Review was revived in 2007, under the aegis of former Conservative MP Sir Richard Body, who is Chairman of the Editorial Board. It appeared as a print journal between Spring 2007 and Autumn 2011 – PDFs of all issues are available at our Archive page – but like many other journals it has migrated to the internet." cagliost (talk) 11:46, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm not claiming that the revival had a connection to the original in the sense of owning the naming rights (unlike Punch or Vanity Fair).

message: In a relatively brief entry, that the journal had long articles is a minor point; the QR was not unique in that respect. A more salient point not made in this entry is that the focus of most QR articles is a subject; the book being reviewed often is not the focus of the article per se.

Talk:Quit-rent

message: Is there any chance somebody could re-write this article in English? It makes as much sense as the Treaty of Lisbon.  --86.44.203.219 (talk) 13:35, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia articles are supposed to be written in English simple enough for "Joe Average" to understand. However, some articles, such as this one, and the one on the Treaty of Lisbon, are on subjects that are a bit technical. The English looks fine to me. Zyxwv99 (talk) 02:53, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  In English? 

message: Can there be some explanation on the difference between a rentcharge and a quit rent. To a "Joe Average" (like me) they appear to be one and the same - or perhaps that a quit rent is a subset of rentcharge. If you see this Act from Ireland Finance (1909-10) Act, 1910 - "The expression “rentcharge” means tithe or tithe rentcharge, or other periodical payment or rendering in lieu of or in the nature of tithe, or any fee farm rent, rent seck, quit rent, chief rent, rent of assize, or any other perpetual rent or annuity granted out of land". OTOH - the Law of Property Act 1925 (UK), s191 (1) (a) & (c) - in its original form appears to treat quit rents and rentcharges as different concepts.
Should the two articles be merged? If not then they at least deserve a 'See also' to each other.
Another thing - it's been suggested that a quit rent should not be regarded as a tax. Perhaps not surprisingly - in Australia a landholder went to court arguing that to impose an obligation to pay moneys to the Crown was to impose taxation without parliamentary sanction, which is illegal - Attorney-General (NSW) v Brown [1847].  The Supreme Court of New South Wales basically decided that quit rents fell into the category of tenurial services. Meaning quit rents (like any rent) are more like "fees charged for services rendered than taxes and, just as the Crown might lawfully impose tolls, port and market dues without parliamentary sanction, so also must it be assumed to have authority to exact a quid pro quo in respect of its grants of proprietary rights". The quote's from Enid Campbell whose paper: "The Quit Rent System in Colonial New South Wales" is an excellent read BTW. 1.43.41.96 (talk) 15:31, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: They are quite different legal things. Not sure there is any particular need for a 'see only': the most obvious similarity is that the two concepts both include the word 'rent' as part of their name. Could well be worth adding more information on the Australian situation based on the paper you've listed. MichaelMaggs (talk) 18:09, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I wont make any changes to the main article myself. I'm a history buff - not a lawyer & would probably just make a mess. I just found this term when looking at a land subdivision from the 1840s. At least I've provided some material for those who know what they're doing. 1.43.41.96 (talk) 11:57, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Ragged school

message: Ragged schools where also established through out the  Austalian colonies (and probably in other countries) in the 1850s.
This article starts out talking about 'ragged schools', but at the point where the model becomes well known, ends up talking specifically about one specific "ragged school orginisation", which makes it difficult to write about other organisations, such as the "Hornbrook Ragged School Association", which (before educational reform in the 1870s) was educating 1000 children in 12 schools.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.162.148 (talk) 07:24, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: No, it's painless.  Sensation probably feels weird though.  And it's not really that harmful overall other than fertility purposes.
I read through this article and was also left with the question whether this was in some way unhealthy. I think that needs its own section in this article, something like "Effects on health." I used to do this as a kid to reduce the mess (figured it out myself), and I never felt any pain or anything. The fact that a medical term exists to describe a phenomenon does not make that phenomenon a bad or unhealthy thing. Dcs002 (talk) 13:21, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

text: Yes and no. I did this regularly over the course of a couple of decades, and periodically suffered a few instances of urethral/prostatic rupture - brief slight (1-2 day) bleeding, disturbingly pleasant stinging sensation while it healed, and not a little anxiety. Last time (roughly fifth rupture) was heavier and took a week or so to heal. Also, I think my urethra enlarged, so the operations that involve high pressure hydraulics aren't as forceful as they used to be. I know Wikipedia's not the place for original research, and I don't know how common rupture is - I'm guessing it's not the sort of thing guys want to talk about much, and I'm leaving this comment anonymous - but it would be good if the article could convey some recommendation against the practice and perhaps a healthier alternative like a supply of face flannels suitably folded. :)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.16.75.210 (talk) 16:17, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Does it hurt? 

message: I have a few issues with this sentence in the article as well as the source cited. I cannot take issue with the truth of this statement, however I fail to see the relevance/contribution to the article. Furthermore upon reading the entirety of the cited link, nothing could be found relating to the statement the source is supposed to corroborate. I bring this up in the discussion section because while the citation does not fit, it is overall a good citation on the topic, cites further sources, and I am loathe to edit or remove a sentence that is technically true simply because I do not see its immediate relevance to the topic on hand. Perhaps with a considerate edit this source (#2) and this sentence can be conveyed with greater clarity.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.236.230.21 (talk) 06:42, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks for the comment. I thought this would be uncontroversial, gauze is usually cloth. As controversy has risen I'd change it back pending discussion, but that would now lose several later edits globally changing mesh to gauze, then finding where "mesh" was used originally and replacing it might be best. I note the OED says "a. A very thin, transparent fabric of silk, linen, or cotton.", "b. A similar fabric made of fine wire; usually with defining word, as wire-gauze". I think mesh is better than gauze; "wire-gauze" throughout would be better than just gauze. From the little I know of safety lamps, the mesh needn't () be so fine as to be a gauze. I'll see what's said and if what I've done is considered wrong, will fix it. Re plural: a missed implication of global replacement. Best wishes, Pol098 (talk) 20:33, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
