Talk:Spanish Armada in Ireland

thread_title: 2006 post

message: This page might need a short description of the condition of Ireland at this point. It reads as if the Lord Deputy simply had to give an order to round up the Spanish and it would be happen as if he were in England or France. As the English government in Ireland had scant control throughout most of the country, especially Ulster, most of the Spanish were captured or killed by Irish lords, either for the reward, or fear of reprisal, or simply the loot. These were the conditions of the time. For example, the Spaniards murdered by the Earl of Tyrconnell: this was the O'Donnell, father of Red Hugh - an English hostage at the time - who would later ally with the same Spanish fifteen years later at Kinsale. Cavort (talk) 10:27, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that's covered. The English had just taken control in Munster and Connacht, but Ulster was clearly beyond their control. It's very complicated - so good luck if you want to get in to all those details with a "short description"!
I just hope the article gives a fair account of what happened.--Shtove (talk) 20:40, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

I have added details not available to the 1911 Britannica, but this really needs an up-to-date assessment of Tissot's work, which was much disparaged in its day (and since), but is of inestimable value to costume and cultural historians.
We also need some of his later religious paintings in the gallery for balance and completeness. - PKM 22:57, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

:OK, it seems pretty clear to me that the word comes from the Spanish (Molino doesn't sound like Kalapuyan to me, and I don't think they had mills), but we can add the alternative explanation if you can provide the book citation. It doesn't necessarily need to link a website, but it's handy for those of us who don't have a copy of the book.

Additionally, it's not a bad thing to have references in an article to be from several publications.  There's already content referenced with E Online.  It's personal opinion on my part that it's good to use another reference rather than E Online again, and there's nothing policy-wise that I'm aware of that would keep you from putting in another E Online reference (other than it looking like edit warring, which is against policy).  -- WV ● ✉ ✓  04:32, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: As far as I know all operas were given in English, but I couldn't put hand on heart and assert that no foreign language perfs were ever given.

Talk:B. C. Stephenson

message: A note to explain the sources. The Times obit for Sir William Stephenson states that Sir W had only one brother, General Sir Frederick Stephenson. The obit for B. C. Stephenson states that B.C.'s uncle was Gen. Sir Fred. Therefore B.C.'s father must have been Sir William (though Sir W isn't actually mentioned in B.C.'s obit). What with that and the fact that B.C.'s given names were the same as those of the father of Sir Fred and Sir William, the matter seems plain,  but a slightly less tortuous reference would nonetheless be most welcome, if anyone can find one. Nor do I have any proof that the Benjamin Charles Stephenson gazetted into the Middlesex Militia in 1857 was our man, but an alternative explanation seems so improbable that I have risked it. - Tim riley (talk) 16:35, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lily Elsie 

message: Was Granville the last member of the D'Oyly Carte company who performed under Gilbert's personal direction? I can't think of any other member of the 1906-8 Savoy companies who was with the company later than Granville, and I think his record (if it is indeed a record) worth mentioning. Any offers, with chapter and verse? - Tim riley (talk) 15:20, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, he may have been the last principal, but there were some choristers who performed with the company, sometimes for decades after their apparent deaths, so be careful what you say.  Also, this is a somewhat dubious distinction, as he was only an understudy for principal roles during Gilbert's direction, so it is very unlikely that Gilbert ever said a word to him personally about his acting.  Jessie Bond complains in her book that he rarely gave her any direction at all, responding to her inquiries, "Oh, you're all right, Jessie".  -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:12, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
