Talk:Færeyinga saga

message: Grímur Kamban was not the first man on the Faero Ilands (neither do the Færeyinga Saga state that), he was the first viking on the ilands, that is what landnam means.

Talk:John Rock (abolitionist)

message: Disregard my prior comment, as I misread the meaning of the challenged statement. Charles Sumner was moving (supporting) the admission of John Rock before the Supreme Court in his capacity as a lawyer who was himself admitted to the practice before the Court, not (as I misread it) in his role as a United States Senator.

message: According to United States passport, Rock applied for a U.S. passport to travel to Europe for his health, but Secretary of State Lewis Cass refused him one, as the United States Supreme Court had just declared in Dred Scott v. Sandford that a black man could not be a citizen of the United States.  In spite of the 1856 law confining the authority to issue passports to the United States Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts issued Rock a passport describing him as a citizen of the commonwealth, and on the strength of this document he traveled to Europe.

Talk:2 mm scale

message: There are several tags for "citation needed" for content which IMHO following Wikipedia policies should not need citation or evidence is included in the links already provided.
Keeping the tags may result in further proposals to delete the article by bots or people without interest in the topic.
It is no problem to add further content, however, the links will provide plenty further information.
It should be possible to find "2mm scale" in Wikipedia.
The models built in 2mm scale definitely are not to be considered as toys.
"Low importance" is something very relative.

Talk:G scale

message: This article is confusing, misleading, I think mistaken, and seems to show bias.  Seriously, I don't need a lecture on the puritanical.  I don't need to hear about all of the misnomers in sacrifice of the facts.  This article fails to answer the question it is titled for, "What is G-Scale?".  Gauge 1?  No - that is not G-scale!  What is G-Scale?
Maybe someone with more expertise than I can answer the question, "What is G-scale", and leave the "what g-scale is not" to caveats after the fact.
And it is important.  The subject of G-scale alone represent close to 100 million in Mag circulation and product in the US - much less the UK.

message: Why does this article make no mention at all of the fact that G-gauge track is also used indoors with trains run against the wall near ceiling height? Is it because no one does that in the UK? (I smell a British-centric bias in the model rail articles.) JustinTime55 (talk) 20:42, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The article's omission of "trains around the ceiling" may just be an oversight (unlikely, I think, a deliberate one). But it may also be because trains-around-the-ceiling is something you can do with any scale, and therefore not a particularly defining trait of G. See, for example, ceilingtrainkit.com: "...run G Large Scale, Standard, O, On30, HO trains." Or this (UK!) Pinterest board with photos of trains-around-the-ceiling in various scales. Even Lego fans do it. Unless there's a reliable source out there saying that most trains-around-the-ceiling are G scale, I think we need not include this in the first sentence.

When appointed to the bishopric of Winchester he declared in the Diocesan Magazine that he would not wear a mitre but would have it carried in front of him on a cushion in procession.

These results strongly suggest that "John Taylor" was his common name — obviously we know he's published as "John V. Taylor", but it would seem that is merely for disambiguation. Our own disambiguation guidelines (WP:BISHOP) would prescribe the title John Taylor (bishop), but there are several bishops named John Taylor, so we use his most significant see: John Taylor (bishop of Winchester) DBD 09:25, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Adolf Stoecker

message: Is it worth mentioning that Friedrich Nietzsche, following his mental breakdown, informed his friend Franz Overbeck that he was having Adolf Stoecker shot?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.96.231.159 (talk) 08:02, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: This article is appalling. It treats Stoecker's anti-Semitic fantasies as a fact. The article says that attacks on Stoecker's movement were led by a "predominant Jewish Communist and Anti-Christian element"! The German Communist Party was not founded until 1919, and the idea that SPD were led by rabidly anti-Christian Jews sounds something out of Stoecker's own speeches. It excuses Stoekcer's decision to exclude Jews from his party because politics in Europe were "sectarian". No, that's not true, but what would you expect from an article that says the Kaiserreich was a "Parliamentary democracy". Imperial Germany was not a democracy. Yes, there was a Reichstag elected by universal manhood suffrage, but the Reichstag had very limited powers. Crucially, the Chancellor was not responsible to the Reichstag. The Chancellor was appointed by the Emperor, and could be sacked only by the Emperor. The Reichstag had no say whatsoever in the question of who was the Chancellor, which is why Imperial Germany was not a parliamentary democracy, as this article falsely claims. The article makes the ridiculous and untrue  claim that the court "relied upon significant Jewish financial support"-this smacks of the worse sort of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories where Jews have vast, secret powers of manipulation over others. And nowhere would you ever know that Stoecker was a called the "second Luther" in his lifetime, one of Germany's most loved Lutheran clergyman or that he served as court chaplain to the Emperor Wilhelm I. Stoecker's position as court chaplain gave him more power and prominence than what his title as a pastor would suggest. The problem with this article is that it treats Stoecker's views as facts. The article needs a total rewrite to rid it of its anti-Semitism. --A.S. Brown (talk) 22:12, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Adolph Brodsky

message: It's interesting, but in essence all of the primary sources of this article (that excludes the Leipzig dinner page) are conflicting in the accounts of one event or the other. I've tried my best to reconcile them.--Atavi (talk) 22:45, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Conflicting biographies

message: In yet more conflicting accounts in numerous sources, the members of the original (Leipzig) Brodsky Quartet were mixed up.
First, some of the sources named Hugo Becker as a member of the Brodsky Quartet (others listed only H. Becker). Hugo was the brother of Hans Becker; their father was Jean Becker. Since Hugo was a cellist, Hans a violinist and Julius Klengel, a cellist, was part of the quartet, Hans was actually a member of the quartet. This is quite clear in the most detailed of the sources, the book by Ehrlich: ""
The dates in the three possible articles which might enable one to decide whether Lionel Tertis had been a violin student of Brodsky in Leipzig (where he certainly studied the violin)are a little too vague to help.

Template talk:Northern Ireland elections

message: I have updated this template as seen below, which makes it easier to see which election is to which body. I was wondering should this template also include the Local elections as well.--padraig3uk 12:43, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Obviously I prefer the standard layout as below. There is no need to seperate the elections by the body they were elected to, and this is not done on other election templates. Certainly local elections should not be included - there are separate templates for them (see Template:Portuguese local elections). Number 57 12:47, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Primarily because (a) these templates are for elections only at the national level and (b) once you add local elections, then why not parish elections, European elections, etc etc. It's a slippery slope which needs to be avoided or it will give excuses for them to be added to other templates - imagine the result if the Philippine national election template was combined with the local election one (which itself is a disaster).

message: I think we should re-consider the current layout again. The main reason I believe it should be changed is because Northern Ireland (unlike Scotland and Wales, for example) has had many "national assemblies" since it was formed. In this respect, Northern Ireland is different from most other "countries". In fact, since Northern Ireland was formed it has had six different elected assemblies – the NI Parliament, the 1st NI Assembly, the NI Constitutional Convention, the 2nd NI Assembly, the NI Forum, and the 3rd NI Assembly. To lump all of these under the heading "Elections" with a link to Northern Ireland Assembly (the current one) is utterly misleading.
This is the current layout: 
I propose the following layout, or something similar:

replies: text: I disagree, particularly with the statement that the term "elections" is misleading - these were after all, elections - how can this be misleading in any sesne. Also, see (e.g.)  for a template which includes Constituent Assembly elections in the legislative bit. The new layout looks overly complicated. 10:14, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's misleading because (a) it doesn't tell readers which elections they are and (b) it implies that all of the elections were for the same body. The heading "elections" even links to the current Northern Ireland Assembly! As myself and padraig have pointed out, Northern Ireland is unlike most other "countries" in that it has had six different elected assemblies since it was formed. ~Asarlaí 13:24, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
