Talk:Robert Herbert

message: I think "some historians conclude that he was likely gay" is about as vague as it gets. The source added says "some historians have concluded he was likely gay" which is ... exactly the same vague thing. I presume "gay" here is intended to mean homosexual and not "gay" as that word would have been understood in Herbert's time. At the very least we need to name some repuable historians who have concluded Herbert was homosexual and cite their works and provide whatever evidence on which they have based their conclusions (e.g. initimate letters, memoirs, opinions of close family/friends). I think we need more than "he never married but he shared a house with a man who later married" as evidence (I am sure we could all name plenty of not-gay men who would fit that profile). If there is no evidence, then I think we should remove any discussion of his sexuality or if the speculation comes from a reputable historian, downgrade it to "Despite speculation by [whoever] that he was a homosexual [with citations], no evidence has been presented as to his sexuality". Today, some people believe Barack Obama is Islamic and that he was not born in the USA, but neither of these speculations is discussed in Barack Obama because there is a lack of evidence from reliable sources.

replies: text: It's a reasonably widely reported story, and I think it belongs in the article, although the wording could be better than what is there now.      The Drover's Wife (talk) 12:59, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: But the first two merely pose the question, the third says the two men had a "friendship" (complete with the quote marks), the 4th and 5th says it is a speculation by "various/some researchers" (unnamed). All of these appear to be recent works speculating over a house-sharing 150 years ago. Nobody's putting up evidence and nobody seems to be "concluding" anything merely "speculating" because they know they don't have the evidence. I don't care if he is gay or not; it's a more interesting story if he was, but I don't see the difference between this and "Obama is Islamic" (another interesting story) except that Obama's article is protected by the higher BLP standard. If the Herbert article was subject to BLP, would we be adding it? Kerry (talk) 07:48, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Frederick II, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel

message: According to Noel McFerran, Google Books overwhelmingly gives the Landgrave's title as Frederick II, Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel. At any rate, either Cassel or Kassel needs to be appended to the end of his name as he did not rule all of Hesse, just Hesse-Cassel as Hesse-Darmstadt was a landgraviate as well. This also raises questions (for me at least) regarding the use of "Kassel" for other Hessian rulers and princes as "Hesse-Cassel" seems to be a more common form than "Hesse-Kassel", even if Kassel/Cassel alone differs. One must remember though: Hesse-Cassel/Kassel ≠ Cassel/Kassel. Charles 21:52, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Percy Thomas

message: I'm creating a Wikipedia article On Percy Thomas's architectural practice, under the name Percy Thomas Partnership (which was previously re-directed to Percy Thomas). According to the news reports about the practice at the time of its demise, in 2004, it was trading under this name (Percy Thomas Partnership), though I realise it traded under a number of different names over its 94 year history. I keep on coming across incredible landmark buildings designed by the company, they were definitely an important practice in architectural terms.

Talk:North Oldham High School

message: I suspect the entire sub-section entitled, "Centaur Breeding" is a hoax. There has never been any scientific evidence of centaur existence other than them being used in fairy-tales. I also suspect that the sub-section entitled, "Football Program" was recently added only for the amusement of a few people. These two sections have absolutely no practical use or place for an encyclopedia. I vote to discredit these sections and would like to see them removed.

Talk:Gaitelgrima of Salerno

message: Much confusion is due to the profusion of Gaitelgrimas, Guaimars, and Purpuras (both Guaimars appear to have married 1st wives with this name) in this family.
There appear to have been at least two and probably three Gaitelgrimas who were daughters of Guaimar (III & IV).  One Gaitelgrima (Gaitelgrima I) seems to have been daughter of Guaimar III, probably by his second wife Gaitelgrima of Benevento.  Another (Gaitelgrima II, aka Adaltrude) was daughter of Guaimar IV and his first wife Purpura --
(.
There may also have been a third Gaitelgrima (Gaitelgrima III) who was daughter of Guaimar IV and his second wife Gemma.  This Gaitelgrima would have been a full sister of Gisulf II, and Gaitelgrima II (Adaltrude) would have been an older half-sister.
The Gaitelgrima who married Jordan must have been either Gaitelgrima I or Gaitelgrima III, as Gaitelgrima II (Adaltrude) refers in an act of January 1087 to her father Guaimar, mother Purpura, and husbands Drogo, Robert, and Affred.  
She is unlikely to have been the Gaitelgrima who married Humphrey, brother of Drogo, who was probably Gaitelgrima I, who must have been born before 1028 (at the latest since Gaitelgrima of Benevento died in 1027, but she was probably born earlier, closer to 1010) and who would likely have been at least 30, a bit old to be the wife of Jordan in 1058.  If she was a sister of Gisulf II, she cannot be Gaitelgrima I, and Gaitelgrima I would have been somewhat old to be considered a contemporary of Sichelgaita, Gisulf's sister, who was born circa 1040, as well as being a generation removed.
She cannot be the Gaitelgrima II (Adaltrude) who married Drogo, because her husbands are known and do not include Jordan.
Therefore, she is most likely to have been Gaitelgrima III.  However, the Gaitelgrima who remarried Alfred of Sarno is apparently Gaitelgrima II (Adaltrude), who we know married an Affred as her third husband.
It is just possible that the widow of Humphrey (who died in 1057) may have been married off to Jordan in 1058, but she must then have been Gaitelgrima I, since Gaitelgrima III, born at the earliest in 1032 when Guaimar IV married Gemma, would be very young to be the mother of children born 1044-1045.  And we know that Humphrey married the sister of the Duke of Sorrento, i.e., daughter of Guaimar III.
The likeliest distribution would seem to be:
Gaitelgrima I = Humphrey of Apulia
Gaitelgrima II (Adaltrude)= Drogo of Apulia, Robert of Lucera, Affred of Sarno
Gaitelgrima III = Jordan I of Capua
It would then be Gaitelgrima II (Adaltrude) who offered her (half-)brother shelter in Sarno.

thread_title:  Added:Internal Links 

message: Several more updates and references such that I believe we can, for a stub article, remove the citation warning. There are some elements needed:
1) An accounting of the comings and goings of the non-core members
2) Some description of the videos that MTV Europe played
3) More detail on live shows; in one interview I read that they planed a more extensive European tour, but I have no confirmation that it happened; apparently they also played some reunion sets since 1995?
If we can get more detail on these I think we can also dispense with the "notability" warning.
On that tip, there's a nice history article in the Wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20171013231634/http://www.phinnweb.org/early/synth/advancedart/
Unfortunately, it is written by one of the band members, which I believe is taboo to use as a reference.

Talk:Hill and Barlow

message: OK, I'll bite:
*The firm is notable by virtue of its notable alumni.   Anyone reading Deval Patrick's biography, for example, might want to know about the firms he had worked for.
*I don't see anything non-neutral; the status of an "elite" law firm is pretty well-defined and NPOV, except perhaps at the margins, and that word is used in the linked article.
Non-neutral: "The firm had been one of the city's oldest and most elite firms".  Per who?  Where is a source for this?
Notability: Notability is not conferred by the individuals who worked for a company.  They are notable; but what about this firm is notable?  I'm not suggesting deletion here, but there isn't a case made here for why exactly this firm is in any way notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Isotope23 (talk • contribs)

Talk:Reuss-Lobenstein

message: This article states that the first creation of the Lordship of Lobstein ended in 1547 when it was transferred to the Plauen line. Looking at the genealogical tables of the Reuss branches Ive found out that Henry IV is listed as Lord of Lobenstein since 1550, not 1547. I've found no source that supports the claimed dates.
Another matter of fact is that the German Wikipedia doesn't list Lobenstein (1st creation) in the Reuss-Lobenstein page, is it because it was snever actually independent, hence not counted as a state, or is it just an omission? 
What should we do in this case, leave it as it is (albeit unsourced) or follow the German Wikipedia example?
