Talk:Sally Fairfax

message: I made a couple of edits to this section.  I don't think there's much controversial in them, but purely because summarising them accurately would take more space than the edit summary box allows, I'm summarising my changes here:
#I reworded the opening sentence so it wasn't so tortuous.  It managed to say "Fairfax" three times (one of which implied that it was Sally Fairfax's maiden name) and jumped around unnecessarily in people's family relationships ("Mrs. X's sister-in-law, Mrs. Y, married Mr. Y soon after her brother Mr. X", making 'her' ambiguous, instead of just "Mr. X's sister Mrs. Y").
#George William Fairfax was three years older than George Washington, assuming the birthdate in George William Fairfax is in New Style dating; if it's in Old Style, he was only two years older.  Since this means they were just about the same age, I took out the assertion that GWF was "considerably older" than GW.
#I added Citation Needed tags to the assertions that the reason nothing happened between GW and SF was because GW was just too perfect.  Such statements would need citing for anyone, but it's especially important to cite them when speaking of Founding Fathers so as to avoid hagiography.
#I removed the words "initially" and "only" from the assertion that GW married Martha Custis "initially perhaps only to heighten his social status" because there's no "initially" about why you marry someone, unless you end up marrying them multiple times.  It only takes an hour or so to marry someone, so GW's reasons for marrying MC on their wedding day are his reasons for marrying her, not for "initially" marrying her, regardless of whether or not they subsequently enjoyed a lifetime of close and exemplary married life.  You can maybe argue that this doesn't apply to a twenty-first century marriage, when divorce is socially acceptable and easily obtained, but it was neither of things in the eighteenth century, so a couple failing to get divorced back then is not an indicator that they both willingly consent to continue to be married.

Talk:Salomon Mayer von Rothschild

message: WP:UNDUE states:
:" Articles that compare views should not give minority views as much or as detailed a description as more popular views, and will generally not include tiny-minority views at all. For example, the article on the Earth does not mention modern support for the Flat Earth concept, a view of a distinct minority."
One paragraph on this extremely fringe "theory" is more than enough; I am leaving it in for now because it uses appropriate qualifications about the credentials of the authors of the "theory".--Goodmorningworld (talk) 15:45, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Allende`s economic plan was clearly a marxist oriented strategy, although it may not have seemed that way at first, I think is very misleading to call it "keynesian" when he dint believed in private property nor private enterprise. Agrofelipe (talk) 04:51, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Keynesian? 

message: Are you sure the frozing of prices wasn't part of the initial plan of the UP?
If I remember correctly the frozing of prices in Chile, that kept them artificially low, combined with the increase of currency was a key part of the hyperinflation in Allende`s government and the chilean economic crisis. Agrofelipe (talk) 05:10, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Frozing of prices 

message: Heya, this article points at the Vuskovic Plan and Allende's socialist economic policy as the only responsibles for the 1973 Chilean economy's collapse! I think it should make more emphasis in other points like the crack of copper price in the early 70's and the total dependence Chilean economy had from this product, the American boycott to Chilean economy and the support and economic help the USA gave to the strike made in the early Allende's period by the employers of transport enterprises, which was the actual kick-off of the stockout in Chilean supermarkets and the uprising inflation of the economy in the early 70's. I mean, this collapse could have also happened in a capitalist-oriented country because there were other causes of the crisis outside the Vuskovic Plan that led to it. Okay, the Vuskovic Plan failed in some parts and that was one of the causes of the crisis, but the Plan didn't failed by itself, but because of some external causes (some of the intentional, some not) which also helped by themselves the Chilean collapse of 1973...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.134.36.175 (talk) 19:14, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Sam Patch

message: I removed the statement "He jumped the falls one time privately, for practice, witnessed by his companion Joe Cochrane."
This statement was added on Nov 14, 2005 "major revision" along with the "Johnson, Paul. "Sam Patch, the Famous Jumper" ." in further reading.
However, this reference:
Rosenberg-Naparsteck, Ruth (Summer 1991). "The Real Simon Pure Sam Patch". Rochester History LII (3). Rochester Public Library. ISSN 0035-7413. Retrieved on 2008-01-06.
states that the first jump was well publicized and attended.  It also states that the bear cub toss occured during the first jump and that at the second (last) jump the fate of the bear is unknown.  The second jump includes the 25 foot platform extension, accounting for the "Higher Yet" in the ad.
It may be possible that there was another "practice jump" as previously mentioned, but I think that at least part of this is confused with the events of the actual first jump. The attendance at the two jumps seems confusing, so I left the numbers already listed as is. Dspark76 (talk) 21:49, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  1st Jump at Rochester 

message: The year of birth was changed from 1807 to 1800 based on Johnson, Paul. Sam Patch, the Famous Jumper (New York: Hill and Wang, 2003) . 
The oldest reference I can find puts the date at "about 1807".
 
The Rochester History (1991) reference also uses the 1807 date.  However, it is uncited and possibly also derives from the cyclopaedia or similar source.
I was able to preview a bit of the Johnson reference on google books and he mentions that he has found records of Sam's birth and describes a family tree dating back several generations (although I couldn't see the listed references/notes). I'm willing to defer to the 1800 date, but it certainly would be nice to have either the original reference or a corroborating source added...

thread_title:  Year of Birth 

message: One more in the Naparsteck vs Johnson reference discrepencies.
On page 9 of Naparsteck, it says 
"He disappeared into the bubbling whirl of water and many people wondered alound if he had met the fate of an ealier ill-fated jumper named Morgan."
However, on page 101 of Johnson, it is speculated that the talk of Morgan was actually a reference to William_Morgan_(anti-Mason) and the speculation that he had been drowned in the Niagara River in 1826, starting the Anti Mason Movement.
Given the uncertainty, I removed the Morgan reference from the article.  Dspark76 (talk) 01:04, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why dates in heading? 

message: The info box says his rank in the CSN was Captain, and shows the CSN shoulder insignia for that rank. The photograph of him, however, shows him wearing Flag Officer's rank insignia-- 4 stripes, not the 3 of a Captain. He is also referred to as a Flag Officer in the article text. In the CSN, Flag Officer was an actual rank above Captain. If that is the rank he in fact held, that should be reflected in the box info with a 4-star passant image and Flag Officer as his specified rank.Venqax (talk) 18:51, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Following up from a similar discussion at Talk:Confederate States Navy: How do we know which insignia match which ranks? Barron seems to be referred to as a "Commodore" in many instances, whose insignia don't appear in the chart at the other article. I guess the other question is whether "flag officer" was his permanent rank or just a brevit appointment. This source just calls him "Commodore". They seem to treat "flag officer" as a responsibility, but maybe not a rank. More sources would help. Mobi Ditch (talk) 22:35, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Roland Robertson

message: I'm concerned about the information mainly in the 'Criticisms' section. The comments make attacks on Robertson's theories in a manner that doesn't fully explain the criticisms and without providing any reliable sources. Also, his theories are never actually explained in depth, much less given any sort of support. 
When I have some more time (in a week or two) I'm going to go on a more in depth hunt for sources, particularly for these criticisms of his ideas, but also for some actual biographical information about Robertson. I will try to see to the verification of the criticisms as soon as possible. The searching I have done tonight has yielded zero support for these claims, but I have seen support to back up his theories as valid.
So, to improve this article, I think focus should be on:  (1)addressing the citation issue, (2)giving the article a more neutral point of view, and (3)adding some more biographical info.
If anyone could tackle this as well, it would be welcome! I also hope that someone else will at least watch the page and give feedback here on the talk page. I really need some other perspectives on this, especially if there' someone out there with a background in sociology.
Thanks!

message: *Expand to include Conditional streams. There are a few papers floating on the net.
*Modify to use real stream languages such brook/brookGPU and streamC.
*Update the hardware section to include real G8x data. Keep in mind this focuses on the programming model and it's meant to be a short explanation (interested people will go in GPGPU instead).
*Modify  to 
 - give a lay person a general idea of the intent of the article
 - to better define the principles of stream processing
 -- Define kernel in the context of stream processing. The general article on mathematical kernels (appropriately) gives several definitions.
 - to include stream programming directly, rather than a separate article
 - to cut down on the prior paradigms (referenced instead of being explicit and taking up more than half the article)
 - to be more expansive regarding the implementations (while removing marketing jargon)
 - to give better references to technical papers.

Talk:Samuel H. Smith (Latter Day Saints)

message: Does anyone really take this idea seriously? Perhaps it was never "proven nor disproven", but since when to crackpot theories need to be proven? Thmazing (talk) 22:40, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't really how any individuals personally feel about it—whether they believe it to be true or not—but the accusation by William Smith is notable enough to be mentioned in most modern accounts of his life and death. Apart from sources published by the LDS Church or its leaders, I've never seen a biographical source that doesn't mention it. (It's understandable why the LDS Church sources wouldn't mention it, since the crackpot-ism is targeted at accusing some people who became prominent members in that church.) It was one of the major reasons William Smith was so much against the LDS Church for the rest of his life. Some say he already hated Brigham Young and this was just another "reason" he gave for it. In any case, I think it's brought up enough to be mentioned in the article. However, I would have no objection to changing the sentence to simply state that  "the theory was never proven", since I agree with your statement on the general non-necessity of proving conspiracy theories wrong.

message: I've moved the article back to "Samuel H. Smith (Latter Day Saints)" because from a rough google search "Samuel H.

Smith" and Mormon yields more hits than a search for "Samuel H. Smith". I checked the text of History of the Church for historical usages, and from what I can see it uniformly refers to him as "Samuel H. Smith", as do references in the Doctrine and Covenants as well as modern LDS Church manuals and periodicals. Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:59, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Samuel Hopkins (inventor)

message: I've removed this from the article:
:According to the present-day Canadian Office of Intellectual Property, Hopkins also received the first Canadian patent, in 1791, from "the Governor General in Council to Angus MacDonnel, a Scottish soldier garrisoned at Quebec City, and to Samuel Hopkins, a Vermonter, for processes to make potash and soap from wood ash." 
* Canadian Intellectual Property Office, Famous Canadian Patents
Notwithstanding what the government is saying this makes no sense at all.  The position of Governor General was established by the Constitution Act of 1791, and that became effective Dec. 26 of that year.  The first occupant was Guy Carlton, who had previously been military governor, but he was in England at the time, and did not return until 1793.  The Canadian patent office was not established until 1842.  Eclecticology (talk) 09:46, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Canadian Patent

message: One of the sources points out some confusion over which Samuel Hopkins was the patent holder:
* Samuel Hopkins (1743–1818) of Philadelphia and Pittsford, Vermont. Married in 1765.
* Samuel Hopkins (1765–1840) of Pittsford, Vermont and Pittsford, New York. 
It seems clear to me from the related United States and Lower Canada patents, that the first S. Hopkins is the patent holder.  Given the dates, and that both lived in Pittsford, Vermont; the second S. Hopkins is almost certainly the son of the first.
While I do not have a source for this case, it is not unusual for a father and son with the same name to become conflated in the historical record.  It is also not unusual that an inventor from Philadelphia & Vermont in 1790 would apply for a patent though his Philadelphia address for work in Vermont since at the time Vermont was disputed territory claimed by the State of New York, The State of New Hampshire, and the self-declared independent Vermont Republic (the dispute was only settled a year later when the Vermont Republic became the State of Vermont). —MJBurrage(T•C) 12:41, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
