Talk:Eleanor Glanville

message: Currently described as "eccentric". As this was the basis her relatives used to deprive her of liberty and wealth, and the term would not necessarily be used to describe male entomologists of the same period, it seems sexist & unnecessarily pejorative. There is a good account of her in The Aurelians. Semudobia (talk) 12:18, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed! I've expanded/rewritten the article with content from The Aurelian Legacy, among other sources, and it should be clearer that Glanville's perceived "eccentricity" was primarily a weapon used in the legal overturning of her will.

message: Can you provide some insight into how you think the lead should be adjusted? I'm aware it's longer than some leads, but MOS:LEADLENGTH offers only suggestions for lead length (not hard rules), and MOS:DONTTEASE states the lead's purpose "is to summarize the article, not just introduce it". I've done my best to summarize the main points of the article. Thanks, Alanna the Brave (talk) 20:34, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, It's quite subjective, but I was going by MOS:LEADLENGTH saying 1 or 2 paragraphs as it's under 15000 characters overall. Also based on the overall length of the lede compared to the rest of the article down to "See also". I can't offer advice on what to take out of it though really. -Kj cheetham (talk) 20:47, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @Kj cheetham I see where you're coming from, but I would have to note again that those MOS:LEADLENGTH guidelines are quite explicitly presented as suggestions, not rules. The lead has to serve as a clear, concise summary of the article's main text, regardless of how long the article is. If you don't currently have specific concerns about the lead (e.g., unnecessary content or really wordy writing), then I don't think the cleanup tag is serving much of a purpose here (I can't fix a problem if there's no clear problem).

Talk:Eleazar Wheelock

message: Wheelock "was a long-time slave owner".
:This disembodied line does not relate to anything before or after. The label now seems to be pasted on to every American in history who ever owned a slave, however irrelevant to his notability. (You might as well have ‘American shotgun-owners’) It’s obviously meant as a political smear.

thread_title:  mistaken identity 

message: Dear Wikipedians, 
Attributing to Pimentel the national qualification of 'Italian' is an anachronism (a bit like calling Immanuel Kant, Russian). Italy as a nation state did not exist either at the time Pimentel was born or at the time she died. She was born in the State of the Church, moved to Naples (Kingdom of the Two Sicilies) at age 6, and lived the rest of her life there. So I guess her national qualification should be either "Duosicilian", or "Church-something".

message: Though often mis-attributed to Williams, the work called  "Essential rights and liberties of Protestants" was most likely written by Thomas Cushing, Sr.  The full title of the work is: “A Seasonable Plea for the Liberty of Conscience and the Right of Private Judgment in Matters of Religion Without any Control from Human Authority. Being a letter, from a gentleman in the Massachusetts-Bay to his friend in Connecticut. Wherein some thoughts on the origin, end, and extent of the civil power, with brief considerations on several late laws in Connecticut, are humbly offered. By a lover of truth and liberty.”  Williams lived in Weatherfield and was the "friend in Connecticut".

:—Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.186.222.186 (talk • contribs) 
It's true that a Google search for "Partners in Conservation" will show that "Partners in Conservation" can be abbreviated as PIC, but so can any other three word phrases starting with P-I-C. I think the list of links should be shortened, especially to remove the dead links because there are now 51 references to meanings for "Pic". Only links that would be helpful for someone looking for a "pic" should remain.
Here are the links I think are relevant, and I'd appreciate input from others on what is important and broadly recognized:
  PIC or Pic can refer to the following:
  
  "Pic" is an abbreviation for picture.
  
  In Microcontrollers:
    PIC microcontroller by Microchip, Inc.
    Programmable Interrupt Controller
  
  Particle-in-cell in mathematics
  Pic, a minor Star Wars villain
  Pilot in command, a term in aviation 
I think the PIC and pic should also be separated with links to each other.

Henry Cavendish, Earl of Ogle has very little content about the earl himself, while there is some information regarding his wife Elizabeth.

message: Although it may seem reasonable to conclude that Go-Momozono (1758-1759) died at the age of 21, that figure isn't entirely accurate.  In this historical context, it is more precise to construe this Japanese sovereign's age at the time of his death as 22-years-old because that is how his subjects and his successor would have construed the Go-Momozono's age.

message: I have moved this article from Etienne DeLancey and performed some slight editing.
As DeLancey anglicized his name to Stephen upon arriving in America, it seemed ony appropriate to call him by the name he called himself. Further, as he is known for his activities in New York, and not France, the vast majority of readers will be looking for Stephen not Etienne.
Additionally, I have reformatted the article into three sections.
I also removed some repetitive links and added new ones.
Finally, there were some minor spelling and punctuational corrections to be made (eg: "wharehouse" to "warehouse" / "hiers" to "heirs").

message: The following section seems to me insufficiently relevant, because it's only referencing the poem, not Aram directly. 
Like most of the poetry snippets that Wodehouse quotes in his novels, he uses this line more than once; there's the one in  Joy  in the Morning mentioned above (under "Untitled") and another one I know of is in A Damsel in Distress (Jenkins, 1956, p 50) "Like the poem, don't you know. 'And poor old Percy walked between with gyves upon his wrists.' " There's no mention of Aram in either, it's just that particular line of the poem that's being referenced. The other quotes we've got, by contrast, actually mention Aram.
I vote it be removed.
