message: Interesting piece. Just wondered about the mention of Lewes, Sussex, as a "Protestant town." Certainly Protestantism counted for most of the church affiliations of its residents at that time, but is it fair to actually dub the town "a Protestant town"?

thread_title: No title

message: There's a lot of stuff missing here.  There's also citations that don't match the text, and at least two references to things he did supposedly after his death, so I think the early editors may have conflated this Richard Henderson with some other (I fixed these).
The section on Transylvania Colony hogs the article, and there's already a main article for this. In fact, it appears that this section was largely cut/pasted from an earlier draft of the Transylvania Colony article.  It's burdensome to maintain exactly the same information in two places, so I suggest we summarize the info here and let users follow the hatnote to the main article if they want more.  Here, let's focus on other events, and details for which this is the only place in the encyclopedia where that info can be found.  The article could be expanded by a factor of 5 without adding anything to the Transylvania Colony section. Sbalfour (talk) 16:09, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Joseph Miller (cricketer)

message: Apart from CricketArchive (never reliable about anything before the 20th century), virtually all sources agree that this man's name was Joseph or at least that his initial was J. Who knows where CA got the idea from that he was called Richard? The obvious explanation, as described in the text, is that somehow some confusion arose between Joseph Miller and the Richard Miller who made one single known appearance in 1774.
According to John Major on p.70 of his book, Miller was "Richard Miller" and "not Joseph as is sometimes stated". The "sometimes" is an understatement given the preponderance of other sources who say he was J or Joseph, but then that book was written by a politician, firmly rejected by the electorate in 1997 for getting things wrong, who presumably looked at CricketArchive before Haygarth.  
Haygarth studied all of the old scorecards and probably some biographical or official data too and he was in no doubt at all, through numerous references culminating in his short biography of Miller (see S&B, p.58), that he was dealing with a man called Joseph whose initial on scorecards was always J (except where they used his surname only).
So, with 99% certainty, he was called Joseph. ----Jack | talk page 06:32, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Richard Pococke

message: Made a few changes to this Article, hope I’ve not stood on anybody’s toes. Started when I was researching a Scottish castle, found a valuable reference to Pococke. On looking at his W entry, I was quite surprised to see no mention of his Scottish travels. I put that in, then on looking at the rest of the article, I felt that some of it didn't really do justice to such an important early traveller.

Talk:Richard Wilson (painter)

message: Thanks editors for putting this page together! I was reading Ruskin and wanted to know more about Richard Wilson, so this page was of great help!
I want to propose a change to the Ruskin quote but am unsure of exactly where to place it. I bring it up for your consideration...
The current quote on the wiki reads: "paints in a manly way, and occasionally reaches exquisite tones of colour"
However, a more complete quote of the one that is on the wiki is this:
"though he paints in a manly way and occasionally reaches exquisite tones of colour, and sometimes manifests some freshness of feeling, yet his pictures are in general mere diluted adaptations from Poussin and Salvator, without the dignity of the one, or the fire of the other"
Moreover, the whole paragraph in which this quote sits reflects Ruskin's moderate opinion of Wilson, so that the quote, as used, does not seem to reflect the intent of the author.
Two possible changes:
# add a reference to the quote and provide the more full quote in the reference section
# or, expand the quote in context
If I receive no response, I'll do my best to make one of the above edits, without damaging Wilson's reputation.  
===Notes===
Ruskin has a weird numbering system: 189 is the section of the book that gets annotated, but it doesn't seem to correspond to paragraph or any obvious structure; isbn13=9780394568461 and isbn10=039456846X for the David Barrie abridged version  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.86.202.163 (talk) 06:48, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have a citation for an alternate spelling I've seen used, "Robert Dinwiddle?" Happypete (talk) 01:22, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That's almost certainly a typo that has entered a secondary source somewhere. "Dinwiddie" is one of the many Scottish names that end in "-ie" (e.g. "Heggie", or the place name "Freuchie"); this is so consistent, as opposed to the same sound being spelled "-y" in English surnames, that that "-ie" marker can be used as a good guide to Scottish origin (the reverse is not true, as a spelling can more readily be changed to the English variant since more people expect that and end up writing it that way if they have never seen it spelled). Anyhow, the "-ie" ending is what we should expect from a Scottish surname, not an "-le" one at all. PMLawrence (talk) 09:18, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Robert Duff (Royal Navy officer)

message: I am troubled by the assertion in the intro para that Admiral Robert Duff was born and died in England.   I've not been smart enough to figure out who inserted these bits.   But if you're reading this, do you have a source for it, please?
This was a Scottish family.   I have found no record that Robert Duff's father ever travelled to England (though I haven't looked too exhaustively).   IF our man died in Queensferry, then the only Queensferry I know in the British Isles is just outside of Edinburgh.   In ...um ... Scotland.   There are, I know, many countries in the world where folks aren't quite sure of the difference between Britain and England and Scotland and Wales, but those are mostly countries where they don't have some variation of English as a mother tongue: and from those places wiki readers, generally, will be reading a wiki other than this anglophone one.
I do have one or two sources on this family, but I've never yet come across a reference to Robert Duff's birth location, nor to a place called Queensferry in England.   But I could well be missing something that to someone else is obvious.   So I didn't remove the reference to birth / death in England.   Not yet.
Thanks for thinking on it.   Charles01 15:35, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Robert Sandeman (theologian)

message: The challenge with this topic lies in the limited resources available on the subject.  Smith's work provides the most comprehensive research into the available resources on the topic, followed closely by Cantor's 1991 book.
The current version of "Robert Sandeman" implies that Ingham helped to form and organize the London Congregation in 1760 at St. Martin's-le-grand.  This statement is misleading based upon those sources I have seen, which indicate John Barnard as this individual who converted to Glas's views.
The link provided, Talk:Glasite/archive-1, takes you to some of my background research on this topic for the "Glasite" article.  The term, St. Martin's-le-grand, refers to Sandeman's original follower's in London.  A 1766 pamphlet published in London uses this name for the London Congregation formed in the early 1760's.  Samuel Pike was the author of this pamphlet having confessed his faith the year prior to this very congregation, A Plain and Full Account of the Christian Practices Observed by the Church in St. Martin's-le-Grand.  See John H. Smith's (2008) book, The Perfect Rule of the Christian Religion: A History of Sandemanianism in the Eighteenth Century.  A section of the Glasite article, Sandemanian Churches in England, reflects research on Sandeman's expansion into England based upon what I could find in Smith and Cantor.CUoD (talk) 00:47, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
