Talk:Marinus II of Gaeta

message: from the article:
"Marinus is cited as Marinus consule dux Gaiete in a charter of 12 November 999 in which the Emperor Otto II ruled against him in a case with the Abbey of Montecassino," but the article also says he dies in 984; the charter makes it seem that Marinus was still alive in 999.

Talk:Louisiade Archipelago

message: Current version says "The Louisiade Archipelago is a string of ten volcanic islands and coral reefs located just southeast of Papua New Guinea,"
Given that this archipelago is part of the PNG, does it really make sense to say that they are south east of PNG? It's like saying Hawaii is west of the USA.

Talk:Muirchertach mac Néill

message: Are there any records of this man having a daughter ?
The Icelandic "Laxdaela Saga" speak of a Irish King with a very similar name.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.174.230.143 (talk) 22:17, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: A good question, and one which isn't really answered (yet) by the articles on the various Muirchertachs. King Myr-whatever of the sagas would be ("based on", as they say in films) Muirchertach Ua Briain. There's a paper by Rosemary Power covers Muirchertach's doings with Magnus Barefoot from Saga Book XXIX (which can be downloaded here). There's another paper somewhere in a recent-ish Saga Book which deals more with the saga side of things, but I don't recall where or what it might be called.

Talk:Nuh II

message: While copyediting Herat, ran across controversy in name or timeline of King Nuh, Herat article refers to King Nuh III of Samanid, yet here we have Nuh II. Quick googling revealed quite a lot of coin auctions that attribute the time (976-997) to be Nuh III reign.

replies: text: I can't say I've ever encountered him in English sources called anything other than "Ironhead". The sources listed in the article—Wickham, Leyser, and the Cambridge—as well as Eleanor Shipley Duckett's Life and Death in the Tenth Century all use the English form of his nickname. According to my GoogleBook search G. A. Loud, an eminent authority on southern Italy under the Normans, also uses it in more than one work. He uses it (Pandulf ‘Iron Head’) in his paper "Continuity and Change", JMH (1996). Further, the only Italian work I can say I consulted (the Dizionario) prefers "Capodiferro". Whatever its title, this article needs some work to bring it in line with current Wikipedia standards of prose, sourcing, organisation. —Srnec (talk) 02:45, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Pietro IV Candiano

message: The previous text contained a significant number of inaccuracies. Some these can be considered as being serious, such as the the people of Venice rebelling against the father of Pietro IV, (Pietro III) who was the doge and who was exiled, when what actually happened was the other way round., Piero IV rebelled against his father. It was the bishop of Torcello, not the bishop of Castello who was blinded and exiled and an explanation for this action was not provided.
The mentioned inaccuracies are:
1)	The people of Venice did not try to kill Pietro III 
2)	Pietro IV did not save his father’s life. Pietro IV rebelled against his father. This was thwarted by the people. It was the father who managed to save his son’s life, not the other way round. 
3)	Pietro IV did not exile his father. His father did not manage stop the people from exiling his son.
4)	Pietro IV did not return to Venice to fight his father. He returned when his father died.
5)      Berengar II did not give Pietro IV support for an assault on Venice. Pietro IV did not attack Venice. Berengar allowed him to go to Ravenna where he seized some Venetian ships.
6)	Marina Cadiano was not the Daughter of Giovinazza. She was the daughter of Waldrada
7)	Pietro IV did not have the Bishop of Castello blinded and exiled. It was the bishop of Torcello. 	
8)	Waldrada of Tuscany was not a Lombard. She was the granddaughter of Hugh of Provence.
9)	Pietro’s relations with Otto I did not anger the Byzantines
10)	The Byzantines did not threaten war and their action was not about contraband. They banned the sale of military material to the Arabs.
11)	Pietro did not have to consent to end the trade with the Muslims altogether. He had to stop the sale of military material to them. 
12)     Pietro I Orseolo, did not live Waldrada an inheritance. Waldrada claimed her dowry back

thread_title: Birth date confusion

message: A database I am researching on RootsWeb indicates that Richard I had a wife or mistress (it says wife) between Emma of Paris and Gonor; it names her as Pappia. They are supposed to have had two children. Does anyone know if this is at all likely, since the article says definitely only two wives and hazards two mistresses? I noticed his son Richard II had a wife by the name of Pappia, which the RootsWeb entry does not have. The RootsWeb database is probably incorrect but I was wondering if anyone knew anything more definite. --Teh fontmaster (talk) 19:46, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Wives and Mistresses

message: The article says "In 968, Richard agreed to "commend" himself to Hugh, Count of Paris. He then allied himself with the Norman and Viking leaders, drove Louis out of Rouen, and took back Normandy by 947." Later it says he became the guardian of the young Hugh (Hugh Capet I suppose) after the elder Hugh's death (presumably Hugh the Great). But what is the proper order of the first sentence? 968 obviously does not come before 947...is there a date wrong? Adam Bishop (talk) 16:20, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Al-Bakri

message: I propose moving (ie renaming) this article from "Abū 'Ubayd 'Abd Allāh al-Bakrī" to the much simpler "Al-Bakri" (with no diacritics). 
The policy of English Wikipedia is to use the form of a name normally used in English - see WP:NAME. A person's full name would normally be included in the first line of the lead. Most English articles refer to him simply as al-Bakri. The guidelines suggest that the titles should be:
* Recognizable – Use names and terms most commonly used, and so most likely to be recognized, for the topic of the article.
* Easy to find – Use terms that readers are most likely to look for in order to find the article (and to which editors will most naturally link from other articles).
