message: I apologize to all more savvy Wikipedians and beg their assistance. I just added some text on the subject in 18th Century America during the revolution from a Kindle book The Memoir of Revolutionary Soldier, Narrative by Joesph Plumb Martin describing his activities in 1775-1780, his group was called the Sappers and Miners. If I could properly cite the text I would. I believe it is valuable information. Here is a quote:  -- Martin, Joseph Plumb.

message: This whole article seems odd to me.  If the various family members are 1=Music|notable, then they have articles of their own.  If not, they do not, and the family connection seems somewhat spurious (except for the rather obvious internal wikilinks to denote such a connection).

Talk:Norse colonization of North America

message: This article was moved from colonization to exploration, without any discussion or consensus, by a request initiated by @Treetoes023. From what I recall on this talk page, such a change was previously discussed and did not reach consensus, the article clearly discusses settlements (colonies) and also the concept itself of Norse colonization, so I don't think the name was wrong or that the new name is an improvement. This should have been discussed here first, and I think until consensus is reached the page should be moved back to its prior name. TylerBurden (talk) 02:41, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

I thought that schools, banks and shops are closed on November 2nd, but now you have blurried my memories and am no longer sure about the shops. I couldn't find any good lists of shops' closing dates on the net, so now I'm not sure. We should however add November 15th as governmental services shut down for a day (not banks and shops, so it's a different kind of holiday).

Talk:Pest (city)

message: I wanted to link independent city but that article is US-centric. Is city-state an appropriate term/article for Pest?
:I know this answer is a bit late :) but city-state is definitely incorrect. The Hungarian equivalent for "independent city" would be "city with county rights", but that term came into use only in the mid-20th century, well after Pest was united with Buda. I think maybe the term free royal town is correct. But anyway, the real meaning of that sentence is that Pest was a separate city for most of its existence, and not a part of Budapest, as it is today. Alensha 14:24, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

The drawing was supposedly digitized by a curator of The Peace Palace Library Centennial Exhibition, as part of their exhibit, but the identity of the person shown in the drawing seems to me uncertain, with the letter "M." standing for the French honorific "Monsieur." I see no compelling reason why "Monsieur" would be applied to Bloch. More proof is needed. Who was the artist? Was he French? When and where was the portrait done?

This is a strange sentence, considering Bolívar died in 1830. The linked article doesn't mention this either. What it does say is that General  Carlos Soublette recommended Valero for the post of Brigardier General in the Colombian Army. I'm not sure what source the sentence in the article uses.
