message: "a late antique source suggests"
It's frustrating to find things like this in Wikipedia... the line was very likely taken straight out of the 1911 Britannica, so there's no way to track down this reference, especially given the thick muck of romantic drivel about Rome as the city of Romance.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.131.16.137 (talk) 17:52:17, August 19, 2007 (UTC) 
:The 1911 Britannica is rarely flat-out wrong on such matters. The 'late antique source' is Ioannes Lydus, a Greek writer of the time of Justinian, at De mensibus 4.73. Lydus is not an easy author to look up, but a pdf of De mensibus is available here, in Greek with notes in Latin. There is also a graffito, I think from Pompeii, which may be a magical diagram or just a palindromic square of Roma/Amor, which I can describe but not duplicate under present conditions: ROMA, with AMOR linked to the A and descending, then ROMA at the bottom reading backwards (or Amor left to right), and again ROMA on the vertical left. It has nothing to do with modern notions of Rome as a city of romance, but possibly does have to do with the genealogical myth of Venus/Aphrodite as Rome's divine mother (the birth mother of Rome's founder Aeneas).Cynwolfe (talk) 18:56, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Anne Hartley Gilbert

message: Hi, the Haymarket Theatre specialised in comedies during this period under Benjamin Nottingham Webster, essentially it was a playhouse. Her Majesty's Theatre opposite had a corps de ballet - and employed Paul Taglioni as ballet master. I can reference those aspects, but not Ann Gilbert's involvement. I've changed the theatre - because it's wrong - but it would be nice if someone could directly reference it to Gilbert's life. Cheers Kbthompson (talk) 10:28, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The Lucy family of Charlecote certainly do use the pike as their emblem, but I'm not at all sure about the arms on this page. At Charlecote the pikes always seem to be accompanied by a cross of crosses, i.e. a cross in which each of the members is crossed.

Hi GeorgeLouis,
Paul may be visiting Stratford-upon-Avon right now, that lucky man.  He may be back soon and be able to add his viewpoint.
I will respond to you, as I know Paul wanted a third opinion.  I'm afraid the subject is rather minor, but here it is: 
As I said to Paul, I think this sentence should either be left out of the article or made verifiable: "The story has been objected to on the grounds that there were no deer in Charlecote until after Shakespeare's death."
I have not seen any sources that will support this particular idea, and it seems common sense that deer would easily have wandered onto the grounds of this large estate, as is suggested in the illustration of Charlecote that accompanies the article.  There is not to be confused with having or keeping deer in a deer park.DocFido (talk) 17:35, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Formatting

message: I don't have time to do it right now, but this article needs to be substantially rewritten in the light of changes of scholarly views in the last twenty to thirty years. In particular:
* the use of the term "annales" for classical literature and for medieval literature need to be more clearly separated. The very old Encyclopedia Britannica definition cited in the lead relates only to the medieval tradition, not to the classical one. There is no continuity - the term fell out of use around the third century and was reintroduced for a different kind of texts around the ninth century. In the classical period, annals were narrative histories, and precisely not year-by-year accounts.
* nevertheless, there WAS a continuity between other kinds of classical historical texts which the ancients would not have called "annales" (e.g. consularia) and the medieval texts which we call "annals"
* in medieval use, the word "annales" was first used around the ninth century for courtly records, the Carolingian "Reichsannalen". But medievalists use it for older texts too, most usually monastic annals.
* there are also late medieval urban texts which are traditionally called "annals"
* the generic distinction between annals and chronicles can no longer be sustained. At best, the two groups of medieval texts which we usually call "annals" (imperial and monastic annals) are milieu-related sub-groups of the chronicle tradition. Medieval writers used the terms "annales" and "chronica" interchangeably. Since the 19th century, scholars have used them to make a generic distinction, but the basis for that distinction has now been discredited. Wikipedia has taken this on board at the article chronicle but needs to do the same here. 
* the view that monastic annals began with easter tables has been disproved. This is because the Irish annals are now know to be older than Bede, who invented the western easter table tradition. Monastic annals began in Ireland as "continuationes" to world chronicles, which in turn developed out of classical forms. From there, monastic annals spread to England, then to the court of Charles The Great, and then to the rest of Europe. Easter annals are a sub-group of monastic annals, and need to be dealt with as such. .
For all of this, see Dunphy, Encyclopedia of the medieval chronicle, and Brugess, Mosaics of Time. (And to keep everything above board, note my CoI declaration on my userpage) --Doric Loon (talk) 14:02, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

I FOR ONE WHO WAS BROUGHT UP IN GIPTON WOULDN'T CLASS IT AS A NO GO AREA THE AREA IS FINE AND THE TROUBLE THAT WE DO HAVE IS FROM YOUNG HOODIES AS THEY LIKE TO BE CALLED BUT EVEN THAT TO MY KNOWLEDGE IS CONSIDERABLY LESS THEN ANY OTHER COUNCIL ESTATE.

* The article now states that Gipton isn't a no-go area, however, Harehills isn't all that bad-a-place, and it certainlty isn't the worst in Leeds. Areas like Halton Moor, East End Park and Chapeltown are worse areas, and Gipton is considered far worse than Harehills. (unsigned comment)

Talk:Anne Dacier

message: I'm reading Pope's The Odyssey of Homer, and in a footnote he states, "O woman, silence is the ornament of they sex. Madam Dacier, though she plunders almost every thing, has spared this observation."
Although this article says Pope found her useful, it seems likely that he disliked her for whatever reason, based on his own statement above. Though, he could still have found her useful regardless of whether he liked her or not. I'm not sure if this additional color is helpful or not to understanding the topic. It also isn't quite of the quality to be listed under the "Controversy" section — I think — though it is interesting.

Talk:Central Lowlands

message: Neither of these articles is very clear, but the problem with a merger as I see it is that although in common parlance they tend to mean roughly the same thing, in geological terms the Central Lowlands is a rift valley (also known as the Midland Valley) which lies between the Highland Boundary fault to the north and a second fault line to the south running from Stranraer towards Dunbar, (see for example Keay, J. & Keay, J. (1994) Collins Encyclopaedia of Scotland. London. HarperCollins.) and which is quite dissimilar to either the Highlands or the Southern Uplands in both landscape and geology per se.
This makes this feature rather larger than I imagine most people consider the Central Belt to be. Sadly the article itself fails to make this clear. Perhaps if it was re-phrased with this in mind that would help.Ben MacDui (Talk) 14:20, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Insect biodiversity

message: This is a rather weak article on insect diversity.  Because agriculture, human consumption, and human culture are only tangentially related to insect biodiversity, I have shifted these sections to the end of the article.  This places the (sparse) paragraph on numbers and the more expansive one on conservation ahead.  Hopefully someone can expand the section on numbers of species.
While I am leaving it alone beyond moving it, the section on Agriculture is not very convincing as to how it relates to the topic of biodiversity, is rather a stretch.  Perhaps some of it was written with the hope of being introductory, as it was the first main paragraph.

message: If anyone can locate an image of the Monteleone chariot as of its most recent restoration, I think we should replace the image that's currently heading this article. The current image is of the 1903 restoration, which was historically inaccurate in a number of particulars -- for example, the current restoration has moved some of the decorations around (no more "hubcaps", apparently) and replaced the straight harness pole with a curved pole. As far as I know, the Monteleone chariot will not be on display until the late-April 2007 reopening of the Greek and Roman galleries at the Met, so we may have to wait for the reopening to acquire a current image.
